Inside, the wedding party can relax in a banquet hall as the revelries begin and the party atmosphere ramps up. Your guests can be seated comfortably at round tables as everyone enjoys the cuisine and beverages served up.

Fantastic venue with all costs on website and super staff for the event

We had our wedding here in June and I can't say how well they did. Accommodating before hand for checking set up, meal choice and assuring us an easy day. To the day of, all was set up for our finishing decorations, they had plenty of staff for drinks, dinner and throughout the day and everyone was kind and helpful. The food was delicious and flavorful, so much that our guests were talking about it afterward.

While it's not the flashiest place the outside pictures turned out beautifully and everyone had a great time with plenty of space. Plus we used the bags and bocce ball areas and our guests enjoyed having more things to do. Might take a little bit to respond to emails only because they are always going and helping.

They were easy to work with and the food was amazing. I received many compliments from our attendees that the food was some of the best wedding food they've had. The only downfall of our wedding was that they couldn't get the beer we requested, and we didn't find out until the day of! Every venue I talked to, I made sure to ask if they could get kegs of the beer my family members drink, they assured us that they can get it with no problem. The day of the wedding, they had replaced our request with a different beer, because they couldn't get it from the distributor. They said that in the contract it allows them to do so. I understand that things happen, but it would've been nice to be able to choose what they swapped our selection out with. Nonetheless our guests drank both kegs, and we had to buy an additional, so it all worked out. That is the only detail that had me not rate them the full 5 stars. This is a beautiful venue that is reasonably priced, accommodating, and has excellent food.

I rarely rate anything with the highest score across the board. River Oaks Golf Course is one experience I have to give across the board top scores. Their only limit is the size of their reception area. Everything else was simply outstanding. The preparation work with Sue was top notch. The decorations and room set up were great. Very easy and flexible to work with. The food was simply outstanding and hit of the night (other than my father/daughter dance of course). And to top it off, it is a great value that only the bride's family is aware of! I would highly recommend considering and using this venue for a wedding. I have 4 more daughter's to marry, so I'll put my money where my comments are!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
