Friendly, helpful staff and beautiful venue!

We enjoyed a picture-perfect wedding in June 2025 at Deerfield! The staff, particularly Lizette and our day-of coordinator Ryan, were instrumental in making sure our day was a success. We were sent a list of vendors that had experience working at Deerfield, which we felt was a huge aid in narrowing down our choices. You aren’t required to use these vendors (photographer, videographer, DJ, florist, bakery, etc) but we felt it was definitely helpful. We used recommendations from this list for all vendors and were very happy with the outcome! We note that you do have to use the in-house catering service but you are given a lot of freedom in the plates you serve with some customization from the ‘default’ plates, and we had a lot of fun attending the menu tasting a few months before the big day. We chose the champagne chicken and filet mignon as our two main entrees; you are also given a third entree option to offer your guests with dietary restrictions. The venue is gorgeous - we toured it on a gross spring morning in the pouring rain and even then there was ample natural light in all of the spaces. The views of the golf course at sunset are incredible and the space really lights up after dark, with the fountain and patio also open for guests. We are so happy to have had our wedding at Deerfield and can’t recommend it enough!

The perfect day!

Lizette and her team are incredible! They did such a great job taking our ideas and bringing the vision to life. The planning process was extremely clear and very smooth. The team had everything set up beautifully and the timing was exact, nothing fell behind schedule. The entire service staff was amazing and the food was delicious. They really allowed us to be in the moment of the day rather than stressing about the logistics. We loved our wedding at Deerfield and couldn’t recommend this venue more!

Incredible Experience!

I had my wedding here in November, and it couldn't have gone better. For the price, we had everything we needed included. The food was incredible, as was the appearance of the venue. Anytime we needed to get in touch with someone, it was easy and returned our questions so fast. Our Wedding Coordinator Lizette was perfect and so unbelievably helpful. Our Day-Of Coordinator too was nothing but helpful, resourceful, and very personable. My husband and I (and our families) would recommend Deerfield to anyone looking for an amazing Venue for their wedding or special event!

Dream Wedding

The team at Deerfield is truly unmatched! From the start, Lizette and her team were readily available for any questions we had. The all inclusive wedding package and recommended vendor list eased any planning stress we might have had. The day of was led by Ryan who did an absolutely outstanding job of keeping the day flowing nicely with no hiccups. The venue itself is beautiful and very well kept. We still have guests who tell us the food was some of the best they have ever had at a wedding! We would recommend Deerfield to anyone looking to plan an amazing wedding.

Absolutely perfect wedding day!

We LOVED everything about having our wedding at Deerfield! Lizette and Wendy made the process so incredibly easy and stress free. They have tons of options to choose from to make your day everything you want it to be. We were able to get more than we were expecting and stay within our budget, and the property is so beautiful for pictures - our pictures look like they came out of a magazine. 100% of the process of working with the Deerfield team was above and beyond and to this day we still have people tell us how amazing our wedding was (I completely agree!!). I genuinely couldn't recommend them more, a dream of a place to host your wedding!

Wedding Venue

Deerfield was the perfect choice for our wedding venue this past August. From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, detailed, and truly exceptional. The entire team was there for us throughout the entire planning process and day-of, ensuring everything went perfectly. They took my vision and made it even more beautiful than I could have imagined. The quality of their work and the overall value exceeded all of our expectations. We can't say enough good things about Deerfield - the entire staff was wonderful to work with and they made the entire reception go so smoothly. They took everything I gave them and worked with all of our day of vendors to make it picture perfect. The space itself is stunning. We are so grateful to Deerfield for helping make our wedding day truly special.

Had the best day!

I truly can’t say enough great things about our entire experience with Deerfield. With the volume of weddings Deerfield does, they’ve perfected a seamless and well thought out process and experince for couples.
Lizette sold me so quickly on DF! She is phenomenal. She had amazing communication throughout and answered all of my (many!) one-off questions with patience and clarity.
When it came time to transition to our day-of coordinator, Wendy, it didn’t feel like anything was dropped. Wendy was organized and took the time to understand our timeline and vision. She and her team were so helpful, especially with coordinating with my florist and personal day-of coordinator for setup.
On the wedding day itself, everything was great! And the food was amazing! So many compliments from our guests. The timeline was executed as planned and Wendy constantly checked in to ensure we were okay and up to date with how the day was playing out. She runs a tight ship. The team also did an amazing job breaking everything down for me and keeping things organized for us to pick up the next day.
The entire Deerfield team made sure me and my husband, our families, bridal party and guest were well taken care of. I’m so grateful to Lizette, Wendy, and everyone at Deerfield for helping to make our day so special!!

Deerfield was the most perfect wedding venue. The staff went above and beyond to make our day special. From the start, Lizette was so helpful in making sure we had everything we needed during our planning process as well as leading up to the big day.

Beautiful Wedding Venue

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
My husband and I recently got married at Deerfield in early November. The grounds are beautiful as they sit upon White Clay State Park. They made for the most picturesque outside ceremony.
The ballroom is beautiful. Big windows, very spacious, and more recently updated than most golf clubs I’ve seen!
THE FOOD. The food was GREAT! From the hors d’oeuvres at the cocktail hour to the sit-down dinner. Everything was delicious and spectacular!
The coordinators are so helpful and responsive. They walk you through every detail of your special day. They also make sure everything is the way you want it so you don’t need to worry about anything the day of.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
