River Oaks Golf Course is a country club wedding venue which is located in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. Set against a stunning background of Mississippi River Valley views, this venue also benefits from the immediate beauty of the golf course. If you are looking for a picturesque place to host your unforgettable event, then you might just find the River Oaks Golf Course to be the most ideal one.

Facilities and Capacity

Boasting a multitude of event spaces - both inside and out - River Oaks Golf Course has space to accommodate a maximum of 200 people for your amazing wedding celebration. Indeed, a minimum of 25 people are required to book the venue, so it would certainly be equally suitable for a more low-key affair.

Outside, you and your significant other can join together in matrimony as you say your vows, join hands, and declare ‘I do’ for all your guests to hear. In front of the large pergola on the lawn, you can stand with your partner as you commit yourselves to each other, while the wedding party are seated, watching on. Around the grounds, there are a great deal of places for photo opportunities after the romantic ceremony.

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.

As the couple of honor and a few select guests are seated at the head table, the speeches and toasts can begin in earnest once everyone is ready.

These charming and contemporary interiors truly provide a great place for the magical reception memories to be formed.

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!

Sue, Russ and the staff truly made our ceremony absolutely perfect. The ceremony took place at the gazebo with a beautiful view of the River. The river is not close to the property but you are able to get beautiful photos with it in the background! Absolutely stunning pictures!! The chairs along with set up and take down are all included in the outdoor ceremony fee. Luckily we did not have rain on our wedding day but, if we did they move everything inside. Really put us at ease.

The banquet room is absolutely gorgeous!! The drapery with lighting added so much elegance to the facility. They have a beautiful back bar with a patio that is for your wedding guest to enjoy. The staff is always on their toes trying to make you day absolutely perfect! They are willing to set up anyway you want it which allowed us to personalize our wedding even more!
The food was superb! Our guest gave us too many complements to count! Everything was perfect!! Could not have picked a more perfect venue for our wedding!

Sue O'Connell, who is the event coordinator, is an absolute pro! But, her team was full of above-expectation go-getters. We were thrilled with how the venue looked, the service we got, but we also felt like the team was extraordinary. Our guests LOVED the food - CHICKEN!! - and they were so easy to work with.
