Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club

uld have changed about it! There’s ample space for preparation, and plenty of room both inside and out for the ceremony. Our cocktail hour was in the Ship’s Wheel bar area, and we went to the larger harbor Room for the reception (we had the run of the building for the day). Everything was set up exactly like we wanted. The food was simply outstanding, from the hors d'oeuvres (pecan chicken, shrimp fritters, bruschetta, and a fruit and cheese board) to the entrees (prime rib, chicken marsala, and cedar plank salmon). Everyone we talked to enjoyed the food, and the Prime Rib was among the best we’ve ever tasted. The dishes mentioned were just what we picked from the nearly countless selections and options that they offer for the catering service – it’s well worth it. Vicki, the club manager, is an absolute treasure. She offers her services as a coordinator for a more-than-reasonable fee – take her up on it (I can’t emphasize this enough). She has a long list of vendors – all of the vendors we talked to (even the ones we didn’t go with) knew her and enjoyed working with her. She told us that her job was to “be in the background”, which she was – until we needed something. She had a sixth sense as to when we might have a question or need something. Her staff is well-trained and like her, has a passion for customer service. She kept the vendors and staff going, and the event ran as if it was on rails. If you’re looking to get married in Charlotte County, we’d recommend the Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club (and Vicki) enthusiastically and without reservation!
