The second I walked into River Creek Club I knew that it was the place I wanted to get married at. The view is amazing from the veranda. After the ceremony we had the option of taking a golf cart with the wedding party and take pictures by the water. Angela was wonderful to work with and really set my mind at ease. She was not able to stay the entire wedding day due to her child being sick but she made sure everything was in place before she left, then left me in very capable hands. We opted for the stations instead of having a plated meal. We got tons of compliments on how good the food was. My only regret is not being able to take advantage of the beautiful picture opportunites because it snowed.

River Creek is in a beautiful setting, they serve delicious food and the staff is friendly and professional. We worked with Aley Montel and she was very accomidating, professional, and super friendly!

Great food, the guest were raving about it. The staff was on time with almost everything (our vendors never got their meals so we had to improvise). The venue is amazing and we were able to get some great photos on theire beautiful property.

Overall they are amazing.

Angela Alexander was so amazing to work with. She made my wedding planning process a completely relaxing and easy process. She was willing to help with anything i needed and on the day of my wedding, she did everything she could to make sure the day went smoothly.

Beautiful waterfront views! They were flexable for an indoor or outdoor ceremony. They also catered to all of our guests needs and altered the menu according to what we wanted. They offer so many options for table settings and seating arrangements the possibilites are endless.

Our wedding reception went so smoothly and it is due to River Creek's amazing service. Angela was our wedding coordinator provided through the club. She was very knowledgeable and on top of things. She was there for each step. She made sure the other vendors did as they were supposed to. She also invited us to a free wedding preview where they let you taste a variety of meals and wines, as well as place settings and such. The venue was gorgeous overlooking the water. I can't say enough good things about this place. Book it!!!

From the moment we set foot on the Club ground & veranda overlooking the Potomac River we knew this was the place to hold our event.
We can't say enough here about what this place & people mean to us & how they contributed to the success of our wedding. How many venue actually make a couple want to get married again??!! We will try to summarize our feelings below & please look at our album to get a sample of what we mean!

1) Aley - our sales contact made accommodation & fought for us on pricing which we are eternally grateful. The club realize what the market would bear & matched all comers. It help meet our budgetary needs.
2) Angela - our Venue Fairy God Mother Coordinator extraordinaire, who took care of us & kept us calm leading up to the event & during the day of.
3) The venue - gloriously overlooking the Potomac River & where the veranda served as a backdrop for our ceremony. Sheltering from any inclement weather (we had sunshine!)
4) Food - outstanding - can you say 2 huge crab cakes per guest! & the options didn't end there. We could have literally had anything cooked up. Our high maintenance guests thought it was world class cuisine.
5) Captain & wait staff - outstanding. They moved & served with cool efficiency & a bounce in their steps.

Event details:
From the moment we contracted with River Creek, the people went overboard to answer any of our questions esp. Angela. She always returned our phone calls & emails about any topic.
We had 2 tastings - 1 @ the open house & one for the menu selection. If my husband's Mother ok'd it, it must have been great for the rest of us! Yummmy!
Fast forward to the day of, the crappy chiavari chair vendor (see my other review) delivered the chairs 30 mins before the ceremony on the veranda. It forced the staff to unpack the NEW chairs in record time & only pushed the event by 1 hour. Anybody else & we would have had to cancel!

The staff & Angela created a beautiful atmosphere for the ceremony with help from the Potomac River as a backdrop. Our guests remarked that the setting was classy & the most beautiful they had seen. ( You can see what I mean in my profile picture album).

When it came time for photos, Angela golf carted us down to the river for our private couples post ceremony picture session. She fed & hydrated us as we were modeling! This was the TLC we always felt with Angela & River Creek!

When the reception arrive it was pure first class service & cuisine. The tables were gloriously set & the staff was at their service best - no delays. In a word - PERFECT.
We also found out that RC actually extended our time limited open bar because we didn't get started on time - through no fault of their's! What class!

At the end of the night after all the toasts & crab cakes & cake, we had to say goodbye to RC the venue & their wonderful staff.

They were a 100% partner in the success of our wedding. Angela & staff made us feel welcomed & loved & our 170 guests impressed. River Creek are professional but not stuffy with a great sense of humor. They are extremely easy to deal with & nothing can't be accommodated by RC. We asked for the world & we feel they met everything we asked for! Dare I say southern hospitality in the DC Metro area?! Who would have thunk that existed in the DMV!

We can't recommend them enough to any people looking for a picture perfect venue to hold an event here. River Creek held our hands as we walked down the wedding planning aisle & help guided us through planning all the details. Thank you RC!

ps- speaking of getting our backs, the crappy chair vendor that we are in dispute with for their failure to honor their delivery commitment actually tried to accuse of us of stealing their chairs.
The food & beverage manager actually came in on his own time to defend us from the hostile chair pickup person at the end of the night & took personal count of the chairs being returned. We are forever grateful to River Creek & their wonderful staff!

River Creek is a beautiful and elegant venue for a wedding reception, or any event! The country club had a home feel to it, and people felt comfortable and at ease at our event. The terrace was a great addition to our wedding reception, and people walked in and out from the main room to the terrace that overlooked the river and golf course. We also used a small room to the side of the main room as our "kids room" and decorated it accordingly. That was a BIG hit for those parents who brought energetic little ones. :) River Creek staff was very flexible and incredibly easy to work with. The kitchen staff was out of this world!!! They prepared an AMAZING meal that our guests continue to complement on to this day. I can't explain to you how wonderful the food tasted. We went with the dinner stations, and our guests stated they had 2nd and 3rd helpings of the food. We highly recommend River Creek to any bride and groom looking for a quality place for their event, and one that offers flexibility with professionalism. Thank you River Creek! Job well done!!!

Aley was a great staff person to work with, although at times it was difficult to connect via email/phone. I LOVED having a dinner tasting beforehand, that was very enjoyable. The evening of the event, the staff had a little trouble sticking with our timeline, thus the dinner hour lasted a very long time, with gaps between when the next dish needed to be brought out.

Our reception at the River Creek club was absolutely perfect. The quality and class of the clubhouse are elegant and the food was gourmet. Everyone was raving about the food.

Unlike many venues I visited, River Creek had very few rules or policies. Everything I asked for or wanted was fine with them and they didn't keep adding additional costs. I felt like a treated bride every time I met with them before the wedding. It was a great experience working with them and they didn't disappoint on the wedding day! Great service and a really nice team of people to work with!

We had our ceremony and reception here in March 2010. The ceremony was indoors and everything was set up for us. The centerpieces and table linens were all included and we just added a few little details of our own. The food was amazing and the menu offered lots of choices and options. I was able to contact the event planner with questions throughout the planning process.

We absolutely loved this venue. We went to a lot of places before choosing River Creek Club and were not disappointed. We dealt with Amy at the Venue and she was very communicative and helpful. The service was excellent. Everyone's meals came out timely and were warm. My only advice to the venue would be to communicate better about the cake. Some of our guests did not get cake because the top tier was not cut. I know that is traditional to save but we would have prefered to be asked, as we would have served it. This is a great venue to have children as you can have the secluded in another room so that all the guests can be close to their children and still enjoy some adult time. The venue worked with us on our budget. We served wine and beer on the top level and guest could get hard liquour downstairs at the cash bar. Great time, professional, lovely!

The entire staff at River Creek was a joy to work with. From their event planners to the day of supervisors. We had a very enjoyable time meeting with their event planners and they helped us out with every detail of our wedding. We brought in some non-traditional elements and some religious elements - they accommodated everything. They even ran out the day of the wedding to buy something we forgot - talk about great service!

The wait staff was very friendly and the event managers made sure everything went smoothly. Our guests loved the food and commented several times about how great it was.

We would definitely recommend River Creek to anyone looking for a venue to host their ceremony and reception.

Although our event planning staff changed over the course of the year, Aley stepped in and facilitated the perfect wedding reception at River creek. We were so pleased with the way the whole evening turned out. All our guests commented on how fantastic the food was and the service could not have been better. With Aley's flawless leadership, she and the staff fulfilled our every request and made our reception truly spectacular. Plus, you will be hard pressed to find a more beautiful venue in Northern Virginia. The view of the Potomac is impossible to beat!

When we first signed with River Creek, Liz LaPorte was the event captain. She was promoted and Aley took over who was GREAT!

There was nothing she couldnt fix. Our table cloths were leased and they arrived on site the day before the wedding. Aley looked them over and noticed they were the wrong size so she assisted us with having the order corrected and keeping me calm.

The staff was so friendly and everything went smooth. We were even rescued by a fleet of golf carts and wait staff when we were running behind schedule for pictures :).

River Creek was great! It's a beautiful venue and the food is amazing. We went through a series of contacts there, but Liz, the last one we worked with was great. She was very responsive and she made sure everything happened that should!
