Diamond in the rough

To all brides to be
If you are looking for a place to have your wedding do not pass on Shackamaxon. I just got married here on Sunday 10/13 and it was the day of my dreams. From the first moment we arrived on the property before we even booked them to the last minute of our reception they provided everything I wanted and more! The grounds are gorgeous, the staff were amazing, the food was out of this world! They customized every single item we had from appetizers to drinks. Kathleen, Sean and the entire staff went above and beyond for us. Alex their chef made items my guest raved about and even went so far as to create a custom theme menu for us. We had our dream wedding thanks to everyone there!

Successful Shower at Shackamaxon Country Club

I had my daughter's bridal shower at Shackamaxon Country Club. Kathy, the director of catering, was a pleasure to work with and was a big help in making the experience seamless. All the staff was friendly and helpful. The food choices and quality exceeded our expectations. Our guests had the choice of chicken franchise, salmon and zucchini rollatini. I got rave reviews on all 3 dishes. The room was large, inviting and the decor was beautiful. The staff did not rush us even when we went over our event time. I definitely recommend Shackamaxon Country Club for any event.

Renovated Club House with Amazing Service

We had a tremendous experience with Shackamaxon! Kathy and Cesar were extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. We were a little nervous when the original event coordinator had departed but Kathy and Cesar were amazing and we think that this worked out for the best.

Kathy and Cesar made sure that we were on top of all the details and were amazing with helping us plan the tasting, seating chart, tea ceremony and reception. They also set up the dance floor multiple times so that we could practice for the first dance and the father-daughter dance. They also allowed us to practice the night before the wedding for a "surprise" for the groom.

I grew up in the area, so I've been to Shackamaxon quite a bit. The clubhouse was renovated earlier this year and looks much more modern / updated. The ballroom floor no longer has the holes / divots underneath the carpet, so it is much safer, especially for heels. The ballroom was extremely spacious and was able to accommodate our 15 piece band and 200+ guests! They were also able to accommodate our 145'' projector which was perfect for the outdoor patio.

The food was fantastic! All of our guests complimented the food and how delicious everything was as well as how attentive the service was! Our bridal attendants were also extremely helpful and we were pleasantly surprised that we were able to get some beautiful outdoor pictures in November.

We also were able to plan the brunch and golf the following day, which was also wonderful. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience, and if we could do it again, we wouldn’t change a thing.

Our special day

We had a wonderful experience at Shackamaxon, and both Ceasar and Kathy were awesome. Kathy made sure all our wants and needs were taken care of and really helped us feel at ease and confident everything would go smoothly and perfect and she was right.

Excellent venue!

EXCELLENT!!! Our wedding was 10/8/22 and Shackamaxon was perfect. From the first meeting with Kathy to the food tasting to the wedding, I can't say enough great things about this venue and the entire staff. They made our wedding go smoothly, FANTASTIC cocktail hour, dinner food and drinks, so attentive to us and all our guests and I had no worries. We were able to go take pictures on the golf course which was great. The new renovations are beautifully done. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue for a wedding or any sized party!

Great Experience

This was only the second place I visited, but I left in tears of happiness. Ann Marie is so friendly and not pushy at all! Also, the grounds are beautiful, bridal suite is big, and centrally located close to the parkway. I am looking forward to a beautiful day.

We fell in love with Shackamaxon the moment we saw it! We both wanted a beautiful golf course venue for our reception and just knew the Shack was the perfect place to celebrate our marriage! The entire team at Shackamaxon is there to make sure your wedding day is the perfect day. Robin was amazing at coordinating all the little details at putting our reception together and making the room look beautiful! I had a lot of little things decor wise and she did such a wonderful job putting it all together and I truly appreciated it! When we arrived after the ceremony, we all got to hop in golf carts and ride around the golf course to take the most beautiful pictures with our bridal party. Cocktail hour was in the grill room and outside patio and all our guests raved about it! The seafood bar was a big hit! Rakesh and the catering team at Shackamaxon were amazing and did such a great job all night - all our guests were so impressed with everything! Shackamaxon was our number one choice for our wedding day and gave us the wedding of our dreams - and more! We both could not be more thankful! Highly recommended this venue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
