Tam O’Shanter Country Club: A Dream Wedding Venue?

If you ask me, there’s something truly magical about weddings at Tam O’Shanter Country Club. It’s one of those places where elegance meets natural beauty, and as a photographer, I can’t help but get excited every time I hear a couple has chosen this venue for their big day.

Picture this: nestled amidst lush greenery, Tam O’Shanter has everything you’d want in a classic wedding venue. The wide-open spaces make it perfect for larger gatherings, and the surrounding golf course is a treasure trove of photo opportunities. Think small hills, tall grasses swaying in the breeze, and a serene little pond right at the heart of it all. Hop on a golf cart, and we’re off to capture the kind of shots that you’ll cherish forever.

One of my absolute favorite spots here has to be the tree-lined aisle leading up to the club. Imagine the two of you stealing a quiet moment together under the shade of towering old trees. It’s such a romantic setting, especially for a first look. Trust me, this place has a way of making those special moments feel even more magical.

Now, let’s talk about getting ready. While Tam O’Shanter does provide separate spaces for the bride and groom, they’re not exactly designed with photography in mind. If you’re dreaming of those picture-perfect preparation shots—with soft lighting and elegant details—you might want to book a nearby hotel suite or find another charming spot to get ready. It’s a small detail, but it can make a big difference in your wedding album.

Why I Love Country Club Weddings?

Country clubs like Tam O’Shanter offer a wonderful mix of sophistication and versatility. Whether you’re drawn to Long Island’s lush landscapes or the rolling hills of the Hudson Valley, these venues have a way of making every wedding feel special. A few other gems to consider? Fresh Meadows Country Club and Paramount Country Club—both are stunning options that deliver on charm and beauty.

And if you’re dreaming of a wedding with a golf course vibe but don’t want to stray too far from the city, Dyker Beach Golf Course is another fantastic choice. It’s got that perfect blend of urban convenience and countryside serenity.

But let’s circle back to Tam O’Shanter. There’s just something timeless about this venue. From its enchanting scenery to its classic charm, it’s the perfect place for you to start your journey as a married couple. And as your photographer, I’d be thrilled to help you capture every moment of it.

Ok. So you have set your mind on the country club with golf course to get married. Fantastic! All of them have plenty of opportunities. Both long Island and Hudson Valley have much to offer.
