“Finding Makray Memorial Golf Course was the answer to our prayers. After getting engaged in the South, we dreamed of a "Lowcountry Elegance" wedding, complete with a Southern-inspired menu and lush, verdant surroundings. From the moment we approached the property and saw the beautifully manicured greens against the ivy-clad, English cottage-style architecture, we knew we had found a special place.
The interior is equally breathtaking; the dark wood accents and floor-to-ceiling ballroom windows bring the outside in, perfectly echoing the atmosphere of Palmetto Bluff - the place we were engaged. It provided a rare sense of intimacy for our 150 guests while maintaining a grand, storybook feel.
As luxury hospitality professionals ourselves, we have exceptionally high standards for service and organization. The "Dream Team"—Laurie, Leeza, Stacie, and Chef John—exceeded every one of them. They operate with a "family-feel" synergy, providing impeccable follow-through and seamless communication that is hard to find. They didn't just listen to our vision; they embraced it. Chef John even curated a bespoke Southern menu just for us, hitting every mark from the crab cakes to the jalapeño cornbread. (A testament to his talent: our Southern Georgia Peach Caprese salad even made it to the official menu at the Oak Terrace Grill—it is a must-try!)
Planning a wedding is inherently stressful, but working with a team this organized and genuinely kind gave us a profound sense of relief. We knew that every detail was being handled with extreme care and professional precision.
While there are many beautiful venues to choose from, it is the people who set Makray apart. If you want a seamless planning experience, world-class cuisine, and a team that treats your wedding as if it were their own, choose Makray. You will leave with a thousand priceless memories and a full and happy heart.”
