Trump's NJ golf club was marketing him as a wedding selling point




in the bar next to the library, is a close-up portrait of Mr. Trump making his “You’re fired!” face, his index finger thrust forward, as if jabbing at the latest target of his wrath. His face shows up again, and again, and again, on framed magazine covers lining the walls — Playboy, Esquire, Newsweek, TV Guide — along with photographs of him hobnobbing with celebrities, including Michael Jackson.



Brittany Pollack, a dancer with the New York City Ballet, was married there in August 2014. She and her husband and 175 guests gathered for cocktails in a ballroom illuminated by a dozen crystal chandeliers. Dinner included jumbo shrimp with Trump Vodka cocktail sauce and Trump Estate wines. For dessert, Ms. Pollack said, the guests ate the “Trump Cookie” — pans of baked cookie dough topped with vanilla ice cream.

As Ms. Pollack’s father began the toast, Mr. Trump walked in with his wife, Melania. He later posed for photographs. “I could tell he liked taking pictures with people,” Ms. Pollack said. “He said, ‘Ivanka got married here.’”

Get married here, and there's a good chance Trump will crash your wedding. Maybe even in the middle of a meeting with foreign leaders...

A Trump visit which will not be planned ahead would completely disrupt a large wedding and reception. The wedding day is the bride's day (yes I know it is sexist but that is how society works). Travel by both car and plane will be disrupted. Rooms reserved in local establishments will probably be cancelled (I assume this happens but I am not sure). The talk won't be the bride - it will be Trump. It seems it would spoil the entire day.

How would the services provided by the club be impacted (catering, facilities, etc).

Most of all who would want Trump and his vulgarians near your family and friends.
