We hope everyone stayed safe during the madness of the storm this week. Here are some beautiful images captured throughout the past few storms 💙 ❄️

Planning during the pandemic has been a challenge, to say the least! We've been hard at work modifying our protocols and adapting to "new normals." In order to continuously improve, we asked for feedback from our clients. This is what Amy had to say about hosting her event: "I would highly recommend hosting an event at Turf Valley Resort now (amid the Pandemic) or anytime in the future. The team has went above and beyond the CDC recommendations for health and safety while still maintaining the excellent quality of service they are known for. It has been my pleasure to host multiple events at Turf Valley during this Pandemic and reassuring to hear all the positive feedback from our attendees. Many of whom entered with heightened anxiety only to find themselves comfortable and at ease during their multiple day stay." Thank you to Amy and the rest of our clients who have felt comfortable enough to safely gather during this time!

🙏 Thank you 🙏 HEALTHCARE HEROES! There's really no way to thank you enough for everything you've done during the pandemic. We created this overnight package as a small token of our appreication for you. Book directly on our website by entering code "RESPONDERS" - or call 410.465.1500 to speak with a reservations agent! #Thankful #Grateful #WouldntBeHereWithoutYou

#TBT -- This drawing is one of our original ads from 1979. Although much has changed since the time of this drawing, our intentions will always remain the same; to be the best place to stay, play, relax and dine in Howard County. The area pictured here is what we refer to as our "banquet entrance" - and we've been using it since long before this was drawn! Even before we built the hotel in 1988, we were hosting events, weddings and golf outings in this space since the 1960's. We know the reason for restricting events puts the health and safety of our guests first, but it is hard to not have these halls full of music, dancing, laughter and memories. Cheers 🥂 to memories made in 2021, we hope we are a part of them with you!

Our next real wedding blog is here ❤️ featuring our very own, Joe Mangione and his wife Julie. Joe and Julie got engaged January of 2020 and overcame the obstacles of planning during a pandemic. They continued with most of their wedding plans as initially intended, and celebrated with their family and friends in August of 2020. This wedding is special to us because Joe is one of our own! This first picture shows Joe and his twin brother, Nick, as models in the Turf Valley Wedding Extravaganza in 1996. Joe is the grandson of owner, Mary Mangione and son of General Manager, Pete Mangione. We are honored to not only have him work here with us, but also start his marriage here! Details of their special day can be found on our website! Link in bio.

We're back again this Saturday with another fun fact about swans. . They are very territorial during mating season. . Swans have a reputation as aggressive and territorial, and there's no time of year they exemplify this more than during their breeding season. Swans - especially mute swans - will chase away perceived threats to their nests by hissing, flapping their wings, and swimming directly at their rivals. . Also, Did you know? Swans are relatives of geese and ducks! . Take your picture of Victoria, our resident swan, and share with #SwanSelfieTVR for your chance to be featured!

💪 Get in a good workout when you stay in the hotel! The fitness center is open and ready for you to burn off some of those holiday calories. https://www.turfvalley.com/stay

Congratulations to our very own, General Manager Pete Mangione, for being recognized as a recipient of an honorary associate of arts degree from Howard Community College! 🎓 Pete is the humble type, so we don't want to embarrass him too much! But during these challenging times, it's refreshing to have strong leaders guiding our business and we are lead by some of the best, including Pete. He quoted the HCC motto in his acceptance speech (which was very small); he said "You Can Get There From Here." HCC is a staple in our community, empowering young professionals and making Howard County the best place to live, work, stay and play. 📜 Congrats to the other graduates. Studying during the pandemic was not easy, and entering the workforce now will also not be easy. Trust in the process and we agree, "You Can Get There From Here."

This year, we want to sprinkle a little ⭐J O Y ⛄ Because of You, We made it through! Wishing you Happy and Safe Holidays, From Your Friends at Turf Valley Resort!

These are beautiful, fully-furnished 2 and 3 bedroom apartments that enjoy access to all of the amenities of the resort, including indoor pool, fitness center, sauna, tennis courts, and much more! Plus they have a stunning view 🤩 DM for more info!

The weather is cooling down here in the Chesapeake region and we aren't mad about it. In fact, neither is Victoria, our resident #TrumpeterSwan. Here's your fact for the day: Swans mate for life ❣️ At around the age of 2-4 years, swans choose a mate which they will generally remain with for the rest of their lives. In some cases, however, they will choose a new mate if their partner dies or if they are unsuccessful at breeding. We are hoping this will be the case when we find another partner for her this coming spring! We've always loved that the swans live in the pond that is just beyond our outdoor wedding venue location, because they are symbolic of life-long love, standing the true test of time. What a better backdrop for a beautiful wedding than a pair of swans that have mated for life. Bring your significant other to visit Victoria, and see if she can teach you a thing or two about mating for life 😊 Take your picture of her and share with #SwanSelfieTVR for your chance to be featured!

This wedding is unbelievably special - planned during the pandemic, Devon and Ihab stuck with their original wedding date and made some modifications, including switching their reception room. Devon shared her favorite part of the ceremony and it has the waterworks 😭 going - having my brother who is in the United States Air Force walk her down the aisle since my dad passed away. Celebrations like this are a good reminder that it's not what you have; but who you have. Thank you to Devon & Ihab for trusting us with your special day!

#SWANSATURDAY ♥️ We are bringing back this series, since it was so much fun in the past!

We are currently in the market to find a companion for our beautiful Victoria (did you know that was her name?) . . Follow along with us for more info - we will post for #SwanSaturday!
