Lewis River Golf Course

We wrote this to their general manager Chris: Dear Chris, Jonathan and I had our wedding at Lewis River Golf Course on 8/10/2024.  I wanted to share with you our heartfelt thanks, gratitude and appreciation for EVERYTHING.   Little did we know planning our wedding just 4 months away would lead us to you.  From finding the venue, visiting, and signing on, everything was easy, happy, and stress free.  We had a ton of guests with food sensitivities, clear food labeling was no problem.  We asked for referrals through you and found our wonderful photographer.  At the wedding, Michelle from your team was BY FAR, the BEST person, event coordinator we have ever worked with.  We have planned and worked with many venues with our business.  Michelle was ABOVE and BEYOND.  She was there from 11 am - 11pm when we shut down.  She was helpful, conscientious in every way.  She made sure the bride and our bridal party had water, snacks, clear communication with you and with our vendors.  My hair stylist, videographer, photographer and DJ, all said, Michelle, the staff, and you Chris, were the best staff, service they had ever experienced at any venue and that they would be recommending Lewis River to everyone.   
The beauty of the wedding location next to the river was magnificent. Your team also really helped our photographer and videographer find the BEST of the best of your location and venue to create magic.  The food was delicious, excellently prepared, and the chef's attention to detail with food allergies was exceptional.  Our wedding was magical.  I have a short video included that I want  you to feel free to use to advertise or share on social media in any way you want to and it really highlights the location, the venue, and the magic of our wedding.   
I've shared my experience on multiple review platforms because frankly, you and your team really deserve it.  I think the photos on your website simply don't showcase what you guys do with weddings accurately.  I'm over the moon with everyone on your team.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  Michelle is a 100/10 experience and I hope that as an organization, you recognize this level of an employee that takes personal interest, pride, and this level of dedication and excellence to heart.  She honestly cared so much.  I would encourage and sing from the rooftop that anyone who wants to consider a wedding in the area, this is the place and the only place to consider.  
With Gratitude, Jonathan & Maggie

Absolutely stunning wedding venue! Renee and Nellie were amazing during the whole planning process and were so flexible with all the covid delays. Our original wedding date was booked the venue on Sept 2019 for our 8/8/20 wedding. Then covid happened so our wedding got delayed due to mandates and then delayed again due to our family having international travel concerns. Our actual wedding finally took place 8/20/22. Lewis River was so accommodating, supportive, and understanding! We paid around 9-10k which included appetizers, beer, wine, champagne, buffet with had 2 entrees - chicken coarsest and a prime rib carving station, we had a fire pit, set-up and clean-up, use for the facility for our rehearsal the day before and all day set/up and get ready time with our ceremony at 5p and reception until midnight! There are so many options to choose from that will fit any budget which is nice since most places have so many requirements and minimums. We couldn’t have picked a better place and would absolutely recommend the venue 1000/10!

The wedding venue was extremely beautiful and coordinator Nelly was amazing! She worked with us to give us everything we could imagine for our day. Highly recommend!!

We made the perfect choice for our day. It was beautiful and fit our budget. The space alone creates such an atmosphere. Guest loved the open bar and food. They said it was one of the best weddings they’ve attended. Nelly allowed us to add personal touches and make our day uniquely ours.

We worked with Nelly and she is incredible! She was informative all throughout planning and she was amazing the day of my wedding! She made sure we had what we needed and that everything was set up exactly how I wanted! She worked closely with my mom all day so that I could relax and not worry about everything! She even made mine and my husbands dinner plates for us so we could sit and relax.
They catered our appetizers and dinner buffet and we still get complimented by how great the food was! It was exactly what we asked for, but better than we imagined! Absolutely amazing!
The scenery here is also so incredible, if it's raining the inside is almost as amazing as outside, I fell in love with this place the second we arrived!

We were planning our wedding from across the country, and were in the somewhat unusual position of needing to book a venue without being able to visit it first. Fortunately, we had good friends who had gotten married at Lewis River Golf Course a few years earlier, and they gave us the excellent advice to "Book it. Book it now." I'm so glad we did. Crystal, Nelly, and the rest of the team were great to work with, and were always willing to answer my questions about the venue, the food, timing, logistics, etc. This was particularly important since we'd never seen the venue in person! We weren't disappointed--the location is just amazing, both outside by the river and inside in their beautiful indoor reception space. Other people have said this as well, so it should really be believed--the food was delicious. I know more than a few people went back for seconds (possibly thirds!)

One thing that I really appreciated was how flexible they were about making weather-contingency plans. The day before our wedding the forecast was predicting thunderstorms all day; we both really wanted to try to make an outdoor ceremony work, and they let us wait until the morning of the wedding before making a final decision. Their flexibility around this made a big difference to me, and ultimately we were able to have a beautiful ceremony outside, just like we'd planned.

And, as an added bonus, my (now) husband was even able to spend the morning of our wedding playing golf with his groomsmen!

This place is really a hidden gem. Thanks so much for everything!

We both loved the event coordinator Crystal, she worked very hard to make sure we had everything we needed and took amazing care of us the day of the wedding and rehearsal! The event space was beautiful, and almost every single guest mentioned to us how incredible the food was, I was told several times it was the best reception food people had had in a while! We had a full dinner buffet and open bar with wine and beer.

Crystal and her team were excellent! Throughout all the planning stages she was very helpful and extremely responsive. I really trusted her to make the wedding everything it should be.
All of the guests LOVED the food, especially the Mac n' Cheese! The outside area was absolutely beautiful, we did a s'mores bar and everyone ended up hanging by the brick fire pit all night.
I was very impressed and surprised that when we (bride and groom) entered the reception, they had already dished us out a plate so we didn't have to worry about leaving and getting in the buffet line. It was a nice extra service that really made them stand out.

Lewis River Golf Course was a gorgeous place to get married and our coordinator, Crystal, was always professional and supportive. There's nothing better than getting married on the river sparkling in the August sunlight. The food was delicious and the service was great. The only thing I would say was that it was hot to dance inside even though there was air conditioning going. And getting out there was a bit of a drive so some people left early because of it. As well, because of spotty cell coverage some people got lost getting there (even though we printed out directions for people).

Lewis River Golf Course is an amazing location! Our event coordinator in particular, Crystal, was beyond incredible! With only 6 weeks to plan the wedding, Crystal went above and beyond to work within our budget, within our time frame, and exceeded our expectations given the low, low cost. The food was so delicious, and there was plenty of it! The crew was professional and extremely courteous and attentive, and Crystal was there the entire night. She helped make my simple wedding become the wedding of my dreams, and did it the entire time with a beautiful smile on her face, and a perky attitude to follow. Lewis River Golf Course is one of the most beautiful sites I have seen, and I have seen plenty! You would be silly to go anywhere else. They are definitely on the lower end of the price range, but the experience is priceless. Thank you, Crystal, and the LRGC staff for making the happiest day of my life as amazing as you did. We are forever grateful!
