TRANSCRIPT
For sure, it truly did prove the setting for my
dream day. Friends still tell me it was the
loveliest and most memorable wedding ever.
There were countless reasons for their enthusiasm.
The lake front setting is romantic and rustic. The architec-
ture is stunning. No other venue overlooks such lush green
hills surrounding such a lovely lake.
As the sun played upon the lapping, spring-fed waters,
we took our vows on the bucolic lawn. Sunset cocktails
followed on the wide plank deck. Then we moved inside
to the stunning, rustic banquet hall overlooking the
lake. Guests who wandered to the upper deck gazed in
wonderment at the rising yellow moon in the sky, and
its shimmering reflection in the lake. The dinner was
wonderful and all the speeches seemed to get a special lift
from the rich timber paneling. The lilting music set all
hearts alight and all toes to dancing.
How the Historic Sedgewood Club
Boat House Gave Me My Perfect
Wedding Dayby
Jenny Popp
“A romantic venue is the cornerstone of a memorable wedding,” said my mother. I took her wise words to heart and explored countless locations. Soon enough, I
realized that nothing compared to the historic Sedgewood Club Boat House.
Unfortunately, my mere words cannot do full justice to
the beauty and the old world charm of the Sedgewood club.
(The status and allure also comes at surprisingly affordable
price tag.) So, if you’re planning a wedding that you’d like
to look back on, as I do, with fondness and wonderment—
or if you know someone who is—I suggest you visit the
website www.thesedgewoodclub.com (where downloadable
floor plans are also available). Better yet, call (845) 225-
5227 and either Margaret or Alexina will guide you on a
personal visit through the entire Sedgewood club. You’ll
find it in Kent Lakes, just over a rustic wooden bridge on
route 301, between Cold Spring and Carmel. This will be
the first step to creating loving lifetime memories.Not just
for you, but for family and friends, too.
