My son and his fiancé had their wedding here. Absolutely top-notch. The wait staff were great, bartender was fast, and the setup was great. The layout of the various rooms downstairs lent themselves to a very clever cooking station for dinner, inside cooled area for those of us not used to NC summers. Overall, a beautiful location, no matter which way you turned, you had a beautiful backdrop. I'd recommend it highly!

I visited Peninsula Yacht club recently and had an overwhelmingly wonderful experience. Beautiful facility. Friendly, courteous, respectful and highly professional staff. Excellent food. Southern hospitality redefined. Do not miss this place if you're in the area.

I'm a member here and love the Sunday brunch. Quiet family spot with consistent food and great scenery. Gorgeous marina and helpful, friendly staff. Great place for a business lunch.

My cousin had a wedding at the Peninsula Yacht Club this past weekend, it was a 135-people wedding, which rented out the entire top-level, including both the main dining room and the deck. The service and management was abysmal...at every point, throughout the entire day and evening! First and foremost, the wedding reception, which is obviously a private event, was interrupted by the manager, Bruce Furman, who attempted to give a tour of the establishment while we were eating! When the groom and bestman approached him to tell him that was unacceptable and interruptive, he was rude, dismissive, and disrespectful. How anyone could possibly believe that it okay to encroach on a happy couples' first evening of marriage like that is beyond comprehension. Second, we had two other, separate incidences of random people walking up from the marina, and then walking through the middle of the dining room, right past the head table! This time we spoke with the event planner, Kelsey Kraus, to see if signage could be put up at the entrance, instructing people to not walk through a private event (why this signage wasn't already in place is another mystery). Kelsey was completely unhelpful and appeared irritated. Third, the food was not good, at least 10 steaks were sent back to the kitchen because they were too bloody. Fourth, the service was a complete mess and had to be prompted for everything! Examples abound: when the first wave of hor doeuvres were finished, we had to ask three separate people get more send out from the kitchen...when that finally happened, they didn't bring out any plates. Another great example of the ridiculously bad, inattentive, and classless service, when the wedding party arrived from taking pictures (outside in the heat), they asked for glasses of water. The bartender gave them styrofoam cups, and then had to be prompted for straws, and again for lids. The wedding party thought the styrofoam cups were just because the bar haven't officially opened, but they were wrong, guests throughout the night were served water/soda in styrofoam cups, which looked great in pictures by the way. I could keep going, but I will give one last example that I think is important to note: the establishment doesn't have any space for storage, this obviously would be an issue for most weddings; the bride had made creative signs, framed pictures, center pieces, a poster for guests to sign, and lighted balloons to be released for the send-off. All of this had to be stored in a cluttered office, which had an extremely rude occupant, I think her name was Clair or something. In order to get to the office, you had to navigate through a disorganized space of ladders, broken printers, and boxes. In summary, don't let your special day be ruined by random people walking through the middle of your reception, terrible service, unhelpful and rude management, classless styrofoam cups, and poor food quality...but hey, the place has some nice views ;)

We recently had our daughter's wedding ceremony and reception at the Peninsula Yacht Club. It was one of the best weddings we had ever had as the staff was extremely helpful and courteous to not only us but to all our guests as well. The service and food were simply amazing. From the waiters and waitresses who provided impeccable service to the bartenders, we felt that the team at the Peninsula would bend over backwards to help in any way to make the event special. I want to also mention that the Events Manager, Emily Bolton was simply amazing. Emily coordinated all the details associated with the wedding to ensure that it flowed seamlessly and without any issues. From the beginning to end, Emily was there to make sure that the wedding event was perfect. Thank you, Emily, and the service providers at the Peninsula Yacht Club for making our daughter's wedding a very special event. I would highly recommend the Yacht Club to anyone looking for a wedding reception in the future.

The Peninsula Yacht Club offers fine dining and marina views that are second to none! Service is always top notch and food is delicious. I frequently bring friends and clients to experience Lake Norman dining at it's finest. Each Mother's day I bring my Mom and Mother-in-Law to enjoy their fabulous Mother's Day Brunch. You better make reservations in advance because even though there are two seating they do book up in advance! Weddings and holidays and special events at the Yacht Club are fabulous. One evening I stopped by for refreshments with my husband only to find entertainment on the veranda by a steel drum performer that made me feel like I was in a Caribbean resort. The membership values at The Peninsula Yacht Club are second to none as far as club memberships offered here at Lake Norman. Well worth checking out if you are looking to join some sort of club. They offer year round activities for the whole family. Truly one of my favorite spots on Lake Norman!
