features a ceremony location only steps from the wide waters of the St Lucie River.\u00a0 Facing to the west, an awesome sunset is always a possibility over the water as well.\u00a0 With amenities such as a lit dock and of course the 18th green right nearby, it really is a treasure coast wedding photographer&#8217;s (and brides) paradise.\u00a0 The clubhouse is also quite nice and affords a terrific view of the river as well.\u00a0 The ladies locker room has an ample area for brides to get their finishing touches done, as does the gentleman&#8217;s.<\/h3>\n<h3>If you got married here,
