10/10 Experience!!
Royal Melbourne Country Club was an incredible venue for our wedding. From start to finish, everything was beautifully organized and ran exactly as planned. Megan was absolutely amazing to work with — she was responsive, flexible, and so helpful from the very beginning of our planning process all the way through the wedding day. Her support and attention to detail made the entire experience stress-free, and her amazing help ensured the day went smoothly and seamlessly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Royal Melbourne Country Club to anyone planning a special event.

Do it Ladies- Book The Royal Melbourne Country Club!
We had our wedding in June of this year and the night was perfect. My husband and I eloped in 2024 but our family wanted us to have a party to celebrate. Despite the reservations my husband and I had about having a big party, we do not regret our reception at Royal Melbourne at all- it was actually the best night of our lives.
Megan knew what we wanted. We were fairly hands-off aside from picking the cake, the menu, the flowers, and the band. We gave her a guest list count and she made it happen. Pascal got the food out on time, with every plate beautifully executed. Alex and David were pro's at the bar and received high compliments from all of our guests.
With all of this being said, the high point of the night was the potato bar- it included a cheese fountain and every version of potato a midwestern bride could want to soak up the alcohol.
You will not regret booking here.

10/10 Reccomend getting married at Royal Melbourne
We got married November 2 at Royal Melbourne and can't recommend this venue enough! We initially fell in love with it because we wanted an indoor ceremony but didn't want to give up the out door views. They have a beautiful window wall that gave us exactly what we were looking for! For November- it was perfect having our cocktail hour both inside by the cozy fireplace and outside on the veranda overlooking the golf course! Another huge plus was that we got ready and had the ceremony and reception all in one place! We were the only wedding that weekend so we were able to have the rehearsal in the same space too!
Megan was absolutely amazing to work with and she truly went above and beyond for us! She was so responsive throughout the entire planning process which took all my stress away! (even answering questions and emails off hours/weekends!) The day of went so smoothly because of all the magic she worked behind the scenes! She's also a pro at driving the golf cart to find the best places to capture our photos! We know our fairytale of a day wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of Megan and all the staff! 2 months later and we are still getting compliments from family and friends!

Dream Venue!
Talk about a best kept secret! If you’re thinking about somewhere to have your wedding, look no further. We have had the best experience possible and our day was absolutely perfect. Seriously, I cannot recommend Royal Melbourne Country Club enough! The food was outstanding, and the staff is incredible. They truly make you feel like family on your special day. Kim, the event coordinator, was getting us drinks, helping to bustle my dress, checking on us constantly, and even took time to pin my dress when one of the bustle loops broke! They truly go above and beyond. As a “covid bride” I also loved that they let me pick a backup date so we could have a small reception right after our ceremony followed by a big party later this summer. We honestly weren’t going to look here based on the pictures that the knot had, but went on a whim (they were one of few places allowing us to tour at the beginning of covid) and I’m SO happy we did. We felt safe the entire time, guests are still raving about the food, and our dream wedding truly became a reality! Kim was super great to work with and answered my millions of emails without missing a beat! She also helped coordinate vendors so that we didn’t need to hire a coordinator and got to save some money on that end. If you’re on the fence, I’ll be the first to say, go check it out - the venue is BEAUTIFUL and the people are INCREDIBLE. You WILL fall in love!

Beyond beautiful!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Royal Melbourne! My husband and I had to reschedule our April 2020 date to June 2020 and let me tell you....the RMCC team worked their tails off to keep us informed and stay in close contact as we tried to pick another date. They all truly bent over backwards to make our day more amazing than we could have ever thought - everyoen gave 110%, from Michelle, to Kim, to Pasquale, to even Ed the general manager getting involved to make our day not only happen but to make it beyond beautiful. We were so very lucky to have picked Royal Melbourne before covid hit, because they really came through for us when it mattered most. The food was PHENOMONAL (everyone kept telling us so!), the service was fantastic, the grounds are a dream to capture photos on, and the twinkly-lit veranda was simply magical. We are forever grateful to Royal Melbourne and their amazing staff for our unforgettable day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
