Orchard Creek Lodge at Sun City is a hidden gem. Tucked away in Lincoln Hills is this popular retirement community which boasted a lovely wedding and event venue. The outdoor amphitheater has recently been renovated with a fabulous wood and stone pergola structure. The natural stone is very compatible with its surroundings and makes for a perfect backdrop for a wedding ceremony. Behind the structure is a lovely water feature, a pond with cascading waterfalls and fountains and the rolling green golf course beyond. The bride will have the walk of dreams down the winding path to the altar. The grass is setup as an amphitheater, on levels, so everyone has a great view.
After the ceremony the guests make their way back up the pathway to cocktail on a wonderful patio, with another water feature of a frolicking stream and lush, beautiful gardens with many scented blooming roses – or they can enter the club to continue the party in the foyer with beautiful floor to ceiling windows. Either of these locations can be setup with a bar. The foyer has comfortable couches and a grand piano that can be utilized for no additional cost.
Following the cocktail hour, the guests enter the ballroom for a delicious dinner and dance party. There is a grand stage that can be utilized and works well if you have a band or to display the cake. A large section of the ballroom is wood flooring, so you have a natural dance floor. Directly off the ballroom is the Secret Garden patio, planted with greenery and covered with a wooden trellis and paddle fans. Another sweet water feature adds to the beauty of this tucked away space. This patio included in the ballroom rental and makes a perfect area for enjoying a nice evening, having a cigar bar, a s’mores station or adding some furniture for an outdoor lounge.
Orchard Creek is a full service facility with an excellent chef and great service. They handle all of the food, beverage and basic rentals (tables, chairs, linens, etc.). They are also very accommodating if you’d like to bring in specialty rentals and extras to make your event unique… I can attest as I’ve planned and designed many events here and it’s hard to believe by looking at photos that they are held at the same venue. The room is lovely on its own, but also versatile enough to take many different colors and designs. It’s easy to see why this venue is perfect for many couple planning their nuptials!
