MUST HAVE wedding venue!

We had an absolutely amazing and seamless wedding at this venue. Not only is the venue centrally located for ease of deliveries (e.g. Cake, floral, photobooth, etc.) but the food from the venue is top notch. Our guests raved about the food and cocktails!

Shannon and her team did an outstanding job end-to-end. On the day of it was like a well-oiled machine. The team was able to bring our vision to life and helped keep us focused and on track during the event. Our vendors also raved about how well Shannon's team took care of them.

We recommend this venue and team for your special day! We will definitely host other big events here.

-A happy bride and groom

Golf Club at South River

We had our wedding at The Golf Club at South River this past Saturday and had the best experience.

Gina and Emily were incredible to work with. They were so organized, professional, and accommodating throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, they kept everything running seamlessly and made sure our timeline stayed on track.

We unfortunately had an issue with our florist not delivering several pieces, but Gina and Emily immediately stepped in, got creative, and made everything look beautiful. I didn’t even realize anything had gone wrong until after the wedding, which says so much about how on top of everything they were.

Our guests are still talking about how it was some of the best food they’ve had at a wedding, and the drinks were flowing all night. The place itself is also absolutely beautiful.

We’re so grateful for everything they did and couldn’t recommend them more!

Beautiful Setting for USNA Graduation Party

We were thrilled with our USNA Graduation Party at The Golf Club at South River. & think this would be a pefect venue for a wedding. The food, drinks, and ambiance at our event were beyond our expectations. I was extremely grateful to Kerry Petz for her personal expertise on every detail. She guided me through best menu options, drink recommendations, party flow set-up ideas, music recommendations and everything in between. The event staff made the night extremely personal and stress free from set-up to tear down. Gina ran the show, ensuring food and drinks were flowing. She treated us all like family & everyone had a wonderful time. A perfect night with the beautiful club setting in the background from dusk into the evening. Loved watching the night unfold from starting the celebration with pics on the bridge & the beautiful fountain in the background to the pavilion lighting up as the sun set. Our out of town guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the setting was. Hosting at The Golf Club at South River was more personal and frankly more delicious than we would have experienced hosting at a local restaurant, hotel or entertainment venue. Amenities like ample parking, clean facility grounds/restrooms and personal on site staff assistance were things I hadn't considered in planning but were such an added plus. Thank you for making this special achievement such a memorable night for us all!

Our Daughter's Wedding Shower

We had our daughter's wedding shower in the Great Room at the Club and it was fabulous! Kerry and Gina and the whole staff at The Golf Club at South River could not have made the event run any better than it did. I am typically a bit stressed out when planning this type of thing, but they made me feel so comfortable that they had everything under control so I could just relax and it was perfect. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the room was beautiful!

10/10 recommend!!

My husband and I got married at The Golf Club at South River in December 2022 and couldn't have chosen a more perfect venue/team to work with. We fell in love with this beautiful venue and all it has to offer from the first time we went to visit. They offer an amazing wedding package, and was the only place we found that included everything we needed for a VERY affordable price. Everything from the wedding space, food, drinks, to on-site coordination.

We booked this venue in September of 2021 and in between our wedding planning we lost our original wedding coordinator as she left the golf club. We were then introduced to the new on-site coordinator, Kerry, and her partner Gina who made the whole transition seamless and re-assured us that they had everything under control (which they totally did)! Over the last few months of wedding planning, the most crucial time, the communication between Kerry, Gina and I was top tier as they were there to answer the million questions I had and were very open to all of our requests and suggestions.They are the dream team!

Fast forward to our wedding day, which was an absolute dream. The team at the golf club made our vision come to life and we couldnt be more happy with how the day turned out. They did a phenomenal job setting up, helping our vendors as they arrived, keeping everything and everyone on track, the food and service were amazing and we received MANY compliments that it was "the best wedding food we've ever had". If anything went wrong, we didn't know about it and as the bride and groom, we couldn't have asked for more. Their team truly allowed us to enjoy our day and made it as stress free as possible.

Overall, we are more than pleased with our decision to have our wedding at this beautiful venue and couldn't thank Kerry and her team more for everything they did to make our wedding the most memorable day ever!

Thank you so much!

Great Experience!

I had a wonderful day at the Golf club at South River. They were great doing my event. Even with Covid restrictions, they made almost everything I've asked and made my day easy an happy. The food and beverages were delicious. They helped with all my decoration and put everything I planned the way I asked them to do. Shannon is such a great person. Very polite, patience and with a smile every time I saw her. I had a terrible experience with another venue before and I switched to South River and I couldn't have done a better change in my choice. I highly recommend The Golf Club at South River!

Great Experience

Our wedding day was incredible and went without a hitch thanks to the great staff at Golf Club at South River. You typically expect at least one thing to go wrong, but that wasn't the case here. Our event coordinator Shannon Wright was amazing with helping plan/organize our wedding day, and was there the entire time to orchestrate everything to plan. Recommend!

Beautiful Venue & Amazing Coordinators

I can’t even put into words how incredible our experience was at the Golf Club at South River. The venue was beautiful and the event team was amazing. Shannon and Gina were there every step of the way to guide us with our planning/decision making and ultimately their tasteful eye, attention to detail and professionalism led to our wedding day turning out better than I could have ever imagined. As I bride, I could just enjoy my day while knowing everything was taken care of and running smoothly. To say they went above and beyond for us is an understatement and I am forever appreciative! I highly recommend this venue and team!

Thank you GCSR

Wedding date: December 7, 2019

I apologize for the lateness of this review, but I'm sure all can understand that current events have thrown everyone's world topsy-turvy.

Firstly, my husband and I cannot thank the Golf Club at South River enough for all of their hard work and professionalism that went into bringing our day into fruition. To the event team (Gina & Kim), you girls made sure you were there every step of the way to answer questions, provide what we needed, and made sure everything ran smoothly. To the catering/bistro/bar team, thank you for creating a delicious menu that some of our guests still talk about 7 months later.

If you're looking for a venue don't look any further, Golf Club at South River has you covered from first meeting to last dance.

Awsome staff and great facility!

We just had our reception at the golf club with a cocktail hour outside in the pavilion and then dinner and dancing inside. We rented out all 3 spaces, paid for an extra hour of both drinks and reception. We used the bistro for 2 additional tables and our photobooth and then 8 tables in the great room with enough space for a dancefloor! Our DJ set up at the top of their grand staircase to allow for more room. They easily worked with all our other vendors and we had about 3 meetings total with them that were helpful with the entire planning process. They had great food and the staff was great! Beautiful location and the golf course and bridges were great for photos! They did a great job with setup and it all looked perfect!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
