Finally, we have a venue! A couple weeks ago, Chad and I travelled up to Table Rock State Park in northern South Carolina. They have a recently restored CCC built lodge, which is what we went to see.
Mountains? Check!
Beautiful view overlooking said mountains and (bonus!) a lake? Check!
Slightly rustic, with elegant possibilities space? Check!
Reasonable? Check!
Other bonuses...a really nice lady at the office, and Shelly in Greenville (30 to 45 minutes away) to assist in planning.
So we sat down and compared pricing possibilities with another contender of ours, Frogtown Winery. The lodge won that competition by far. The only downside? We have to be cleaned up and ready to go by 10pm. Then we went back to the Frogtown paperwork...you only get 4 1/2 hours there, not any better, really. At least you get the lodge all day, from when you pick the key up in the morning onward. Sooo...we decided on the lodge.
P.S. Pictures are not mine, but supplied by the park.
