Details Haig Point is a private, member-only community but non-members are able to book wedding events upon approval. All events, member, member-sponsored and non-member, are contracted through the Food and Beverage Department and Director of Events and Catering. Once a date and preferred venue(s) are selected a contract and banquet event order (BEO) are drafted representing the estimated guest count, outline of events, food and beverage minimum and lodging terms. These documents are submitted to the Haig Point Board of Directors for approval. Once the contract and BEOs are approved, the documents are signed and a twenty percent (20%) deposit is collected to secure both the date and venue(s). There are two all-inclusive packages that encompass the necessary setup and arrangements for the wedding day. I Thee Wed covers all the needs involving set up and staging for the ceremony. Eat, Drink and Be Married covers all necessary set up and arrangements for the reception. Each venue location has its own minimum that should be spent in food and beverage, prior
to tax and service charge. The total of the two packages and the minimum for the desired location will form a basic idea of the event cost. All food and beverage outside of the wedding cake are provided by the Haig Point Culinary Department. A list of preferred vendors can be provided upon request. While Haig Point is a beautiful location for your wedding ceremony and reception, it is also ideal for a destination wedding weekend. Several types of accommodations are available to your guests varying from suites in the Strachan Mansion to private member homes. Member homes vary in size and location throughout the community ranging from two bedroom cottages and four unit plantation homes to five bedroom premium ocean front homes. Guest are able to pair up and share homes as many of the homes sleep ten or more. Cribs, highchairs and rollaway beds are available for rent.
