I love country clubs! They represent a certain "casual elegance" on the venue scene. They also do double duty - you can have an outdoor wedding ceremony and then head over to the clubhouse for a lovely, indoor reception. For engaged couples looking for ease of planning, golf clubs tend to be "all-inclusive".
About a year ago, Regency at Dominion Valley in Haymarket underwent an amazing ballroom transformation. Gone is the dark paneling reminiscent of your dad's golf club. Light, modern and airy best describe this venue. Ceremonies are held outdoors in club's amphitheater, just steps removed from the club house.
