Mohawk River Country Club & Chateau Reviews

Having had the privilege of DJing at Mohawk River Country Club, I'll personally attest to its magic as a wedding venue. It's more than just a picturesque setting; I've watched magical moments come to life here. With its stunning indoor ballroom and vibey outdoor gazebo, couples have a beautiful canvas to paint their dream wedding. The staff's attention to detail helps make our job easier as wedding DJs. One of the many benefit of this venue are the breathtaking views of the golf course and Mohawk River. Whether it's an intimate affair or a grand celebration, Mohawk River Country Club & Chateau sets the stage for a great day.

My personal favorite part of working here is how over the top the cocktail hours are. I've never seen anything like it at any other venue. The amount of high quality delicious food is jaw dropping.

Love the venue manager as well, he is a great leader to his amazing team.

My husband and I got married here last weekend and we were speechless about how it all went. From the moment we looked at the venue in fall of 2022, we knew this was the venue for us. The bridal suite is absolutely stunning and made me feel like a princess all day! All of our appointments with Sal before our wedding went so smooth, and he was so accommodating to anything we wanted and wished for. He and his wife Stephanie made sure us girls were taken care of during the day getting ready and then took great care of Alan and I all night of the wedding. Since we took so many pictures after the ceremony, we didn’t get to join much of our cocktail hour, so they graciously put some on plates for us and put it at our table so we were able to eat it. Everything was SO delicious and our guests were raving about cocktail hour and dinner all night long! There was SO MUCH food and being foodies ourselves, was important to have great quality and choices on our special day. The entire day ran so smoothly-the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, cake cutting, dances, and toasts, that I would choose Mohawk River over and over again. This is THE PLACE to get married!

Truly an incredibly venue!! We chose Mohawk initially because it had so much included for a fraction of the price of most venues nearby. It exceeded every expectation we had, which was tough because our expectations were already pretty high. Sal and Stephanie were wonderful and so helpful throughout the entire process. Our wedding turned out beautifully. I literally have no complaints. My guests told me that they absolutely adored the food, both at dinner and the cocktail hour. We also very much appreciated how attentive and friendly the wait staff and the bartenders were. It was to the point that the bartenders knew what everyone was drinking by the second round, which is impressive considering we had a headcount of 175. Every staff member that we interacted with was just so lovely. If you're looking into wedding venues in the Capital Region, I highly recommend Mohawk River Country Club!

As the father of the bride my head and heart have been racing in different directions for months. More than anything I wanted my daughter and her now husband to be happy. The bringing together of so many different people for an evening of celebration seemed daunting at best. My gosh, imagine all that could go wrong.

What came about was better than anyone could have imagined. The Mohawk River staff attended to every need and enabled us all to concentrate all of our focus and attention on the bride and groom. The food was out of this world; the professionalism and attentiveness were impressive and responsive; and the setting just right!

I recommend this venue without reservation.

We had our wedding here and I would choose this place again in a heart beat. They are a one stop shop, making planning and coordinating so easy. The space is so beautiful, minimal additional items were needed. Our guests LOVED the cocktail hour, food was amazing. The fire pits outside added to the space allowing additional areas for people to gather. Sal and Stefanie were so attentive, they anticipated our needs all along. The flexibility to make the day your own was also important. They created a beautiful head table that sat 22 and let my friends carry out a tradition that brought a lot of laughs. I couldn’t recommend Mohawk enough

The experience in every phase of the reception was over the top

After the first meeting with Sal and Stephanie, we knew The Mohawk River Country Club was our venue. With the numerous questions my husband and I had to changing things last minute, the entire process was always joyous and with great ease. Sal was so on top of everything that going into our wedding day, we felt calm and confident that everything would go smoothly. Due to weather, we had to make a game time decision on indoor or outdoor ceremony and after choosing to do it indoor, the entire reception hall was transformed in 15 minutes to a gorgeous ceremony location. We had a friend play during the ceremony instead of our DJ and everything went off without a hiccup. Food, drinks and laughter were never ending and no one had an unfilled glass of water, coffee or alcoholic beverage. Our guests were beyond astonished with how much food comes with the wedding package at the Mohawk River CC. 150 out of 10, my husband and I would recommend to any couple choosing a venue with beautiful scenery and an easy ride through the wedding planning process. Thank you Sal and Sabrina!

I cannot write enough good things about MRCC. Wedding planning is stressful as it is, my husband and I had a vision for our wedding that truly came together the day of. Sal and Stephanie helped us every step of the way with the fine details, making sure my husband and I had eaten, and making sure we captured every moment of our day that we wanted. They had recommendations based on their experience which were incredibly helpful. Our guests raved about the food and how beautiful the venue was. At the end of the night Sal and his wife helped CAREFULLY pack up all of our decor and it was ready for us to pick up in the morning. You can truly tell that this lovely couple loves what they do and you can feel it every step of the way. They were the ONLY venue we toured before booking and we have absolutely zero regrets.

My husband and I got married here in September 2023. The venue is dreamy and absolutely magical. I love how Sal, Stephanie and their whole team made everything so easy. While we were in the bridal suite, we were checked on multiple times to see if we needed anything else. Our guests RAVED about the appetizers and said that could have been dinner! Sal and Stephanie handled the day of things for us and took so much stress off me. The food is PHENOMENAL, the venue is picture perfect, and so easy to work with. All my guests raved about the venue, the food, even said it was the best wedding they had been to in a while. Our wedding there was a fairytale dream come true. They went over details with me to make sure it was just how I wanted. As a bride there are things I didn’t think of that Sal and Stephanie pointed out. My sister in law got married at their sister place, the Highland. I’d 10/10 recommend the Mohawk River Country club to anyone looking for a wedding venue. It was a no brainer to pick it for the food and the open bar to have the absolute best wedding. Thank you so much to Sal and Stephanie for everything you and your team did to make our wedding a HUGE success!

Words cannot describe how great our experience was with Mohawk River Country club. From the first day we stepped foot in the venue for a walk through, to the last minute we walked out on our wedding night on 9/9, we were blown away. The Banquet manager Sal, his wife Stephanie and the staff at Mohawk made our wedding dreams come true. We could not have asked for more. Any questions we had were answered immediately, any dilemmas we had were solved instantly through out the entire planning process. We were ensured everything would be exactly how we wanted it for our special night and they did that for us and then some. Everything about the venue was incredible. The food was amazing, the service was outstanding, the dj we were recommended had everyone off their feet. The bartenders never left anyone waiting, the beverages were top notch, before the last sip of our drinks were gone Sal already had another one in front of us so we didn’t miss a moment. Our guests are still reaching out to us raving about how good of a time they had, several stating it was the best all around wedding they’ve ever been to. We cannot thank Sal, Stephanie and the entire crew enough, and recommend them to the highest degree. We hope someone we know gets married there soon just so we can go back and enjoy the experience all over again!

In August 2023 my daughter and now son-in-law tied the knot and celebrated their wedding at Mohawk CC & Chateau. It was a PERFECT day from beginning to end! I am not even sure where to start!! The staff were phenomenal and accommodating; no wish or desire went unfulfilled. Stephanie assisted me with finding a local bakery (I live in Brewster, so needed a local bakery) and kept the cake a "secret" from the bride and groom (it was a Buffalo Bills themed wedding cake) that made the surprise so sweet when the cake was wheeled out! The food during the cocktail hour and dinner was beyond anything we could have dreamed of. Delicious doesn't even begin to describe how delicious the food was....guests and family still talk of the food to this day. The wait staff were like ninjas....you never saw them, they were never intrusive or in the way, but plates and cups were always whisked away and we never know by who. The bridal suite is just heavenly and so spacious; it helped us all relax and enjoy the hours before the wedding. As the parents of the bride, we also have dreams and desires when our kids get married. Our every dream as parents came true this evening. I cannot begin to thank Stephanie and all the staff for making this day so special and memorable. Thank you seems like so little, but Thank You Stephanie and staff for the beautiful and wonderful memories that we will have forever and will always treasure. Annette Pineiro, mother of the bride, Amalia Pineiro

From the moment my now husband and I stepped foot into the venue, we knew that this was going to be our wedding venue. Our gut feeling was further assured after meeting Stephanie and Sal and seeing what was offered at their venue. Stephanie and Sal have been AMAZING to work with!! We did not have a wedding planner, and we did not need one with how well Stephanie and Sal supported, planned, and coordinated the whole night. We were able to go into our wedding day feeling calm and confident that everything was going to run smoothly. The day of, they were checking in on us, made the transitions of the night seamless, and help continue to coordinate till the very end! They were also so collaborative with our other vendors, making the entire night flawless! Lastly, Steph and Sal are so personable, helping our parents with surprises up their sleeves as well. The wait and bar staff was also amazing!! Debbie helped us prepare/set up the day before and made sure the drinks kept flowing the night off! The food was also incredible!! Our guests keep telling us how amazing and delicious the food was, and how attentive and quick that wait staff was. If you are looking for a venue in the Capitol Region, you have to go to Mohawk River CC! Our wedding was perfect. THANK YOU STEPHANIE AND SAL!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Sal, Stephanie, and the entire team at Mohawk River. From day 1 of meeting them Sal was always incredibly kind, welcoming, and patient. Both him and his wife Stephanie went above and beyond the entire time that we worked with them to make both my husband and I, and both our families feel comfortable with everything, and to make sure we had everything we needed and wanted. Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful, but the food is made in house and is delicious. They also made recent renovations in the ballroom to open up the space, and added a bigger more modern bar. Along with an updated bridal suite, which is gorgeous. The renovations they have done are amazing and only enhanced an already beautiful venue. We are so incredibly happy with how every turned out, and can’t say enough good things about both Sal and the entire team, and the venue itself. They made our dream wedding come true!

Do yourself a favor, and just go and book with them right now!

It has been a month since my wedding and the guests are ALL still talking about it being the best wedding they have ever been to! Sal and Stephanie are the most amazing people to work with. I did not have to stress about anything. I cannot get over the attention to detail they both have. I only had to ask for something once and it was immediately taken care of.

When you tour the venue, it already is the most beautiful space you could imagine, and then when you go and it is set up for your day it is somehow even more magical. I still don't know how they do all that they do, I am just in awe.

Our day was truly a fairytale to me, and I know that is because of Sal, Stephanie, and their team. Thank you to all the staff at Mohawk River!!!

I cannot say enough about Sal and the Mohawk River team! From day one we fell in love with the venue. They were other-worldly easy to work with, extremely accommodating, and never once answered one of our questions with "I don't know." That just goes to show their expertise are hosting a first class wedding at an extremely reasonable price. The Mohawk River team truly made us feel special beyond words during our big day. How often do you attend a wedding and talk positively about the food? The amount of food you get for cocktail hour and dinner is amazing! The best part -- it's all made in-house! Whether you have dietary restrictions or not you most definitely would not leave Mohawk River hungry. They took such amazing care of us. Here's hoping one day we get to be wedding guests!

We could not be happier with our decision to have our 10/7/22 wedding at the Mohawk River Country Club! Our guests had an amazing time and raved about the atmosphere, cocktail hour, and overall attention to detail. The lavish cocktail hour and delicious dinner was a meal fit for a king!
Stephanie, Sal, Deb and all of the staff were there from start to finish making sure the day went off without a hitch. Their presence kept everything organized and flowing smoothly the entire night. Their calm confidence is a quality possessed by few. They were so kind, helpful, and professional and we are so grateful to have had them as part of our special day.

The beautifully renovated bridal suite was wonderful to get ready in with my bridal party and was a very relaxing environment. It also made for stunning pictures! The golf course is well cared for and a beautiful way to start a wedding day as well! All in all, we couldn’t imagine a more perfect day at a more perfect place. It was elegant, yet comfortable. M.R.C.C. made our best day ever effortlessly possible!

I would absolutely without a doubt recommend Mohawk River Country Club! My husband and I just got married here Set 25, 2022 and they made it perfect! The venue, the employees were the best!! the Bridal Suite is so beautiful and let me not get started on the food! O-M-G delicious. I was taking a while to get my dress bustled up and Sal made sure he brought me plates of food so I didn't miss cocktail hour, Debbie made sure I had a drink in hand and not miss a thing. We could not ask for a better team. 100% book this venue. We want to thank everyone so much for making it such a beautiful day for us. Veronique & Andrew Rowback

We were so incredibly happy to have had our wedding reception at Mohawk River Country Club and Chateau. It was the perfect venue for our September 17th wedding.

We couldn't have been happier with the service. Deb truly went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. Deb, Sal, and Stephanie were extremely professional, welcoming, kind and made sure everything was perfect. We are so grateful to how attentive they all were!

They recently updated the bridal suit. This is where the bridesmaids and moms got ready. It is absolutely stunning and made for the perfect getting ready pics with the bridesmaids and a nice place to hang out with our bridal party. 

The reception space is BEAUTIFUL and the perfect size and layout. We were very impressed with the wait staff - they were professional, polite, and made sure we had everything we needed. 

We are foodies! And could go on and on about how delicious the food was. The cocktail hour is slamming! There is so much food included. We mingled with our guests during cocktail hour because we did not want to miss out. Everyone was raving about all of the food and how delicious it was!

We also added the dessert bar onto our package. If you add this onto your package, they reopen the cocktail hour area and have a plethora of desserts and dessert drinks! If you have a sweet tooth, we highly recommend this! Everyone loved this!!

We couldn't be happier with this venue and highly recommend it. If you decide to have your event at Mohawk, you will be in EXCELLENT hands!!!

We cannot recommend Mohawk River Country Club and Chateau enough! My husband and I got married here in the beginning of September and it was perfect. The venue and bridal suite are gorgeous and the food is delicious. All of our guest cannot stop talking about the cocktail hour. There was an endless amount food! Debbie and Sal were so easy to work with and very professional. From the start, Debbie and Sal were always available and responsive. The whole planning process was very simple. We could not have asked for a better team to work with!

We had our wedding there two weeks ago, and everything was flawless. The place was beautiful, the food was amazing, the service fantastic. Deb and Sal went above and beyond, made our day perfect in every way. We had many guests tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We looked at several venues prior to booking with Mohawk, and not only was the quality excellent, but for everything we got the price was definitely fair. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Five stars, they knocked it out of the park!

From the very beginning, Debbie was very friendly and made our whole experience pleasant. She was always willing to meet with us, answer questions, and sincerely cares about all of the couples she works with. She went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we wanted and that we were happy, she was fair, friendly and she pays attention to detail. All of the staff at Mohawk were pleasant and accommodating, for our special day. We had a guest who had a knee injury at home the day before, and the venue staff went out of the way to make sure she was comfortable at our wedding. All of our guests raved about the quality of the food and the portion size, they still talk about the food weeks later, and how beautiful the venue was. Overall, we have heard from our guests it is the best wedding people have attended, and that's thanks to the wonderful staff at Mohawk Country Club.

Mohawk River Country Club is the most amazing venue in the area! Debbie and her staff are amazing and literally took care of anything you may have had an issue with. I also hear so much positive feedback from my guests about how great the food was. They made my dream wedding a reality and I couldn't be more happy to have went through them.

We fell into MRCC as a venue and we’re so glad we did! After an absolutely awful experience with another venue, Sal and Deb went way above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable! Everything they coordinated went well - food was great, they were incredibly flexible and accommodating, and the bridal suite looked amazing. Our guests raved about how great the cocktail hour was, especially the food. Sal and Deb accommodated all of our guests dietary needs and made their experience great! It’s a family run venue, and it’s clear through their actions and their culture that this is something they truly value. We felt like family and met amazing people through our interactions.

Debbie and Sal and their team at Mohawk River exceded all of our expectations and knocked it out of the park. Every one of our guests have told us this was the best wedding they've ever been too. And most assumed that the cocktail hour was dinner due to the amount of food and couldn't believe when dinner came out after the fact.

Their team did a great job, we couldn't believe how everytime we turned there was someone asking if we wanted more food, or another drink, or needed anything else. You never are left holding an empty plate or a glass. We told Debbie to leave our dinner plates that were mostly untouched due to the amount we ate at the cocktail hour and were amazed at the end of the night when the plates were still there.

There was a very minor issue serving one of the guests and before the servers even left the table Debbie was over there to apologize and leave our guest laughing. The way that she was on top of everything that much and that level of service really meant alot to us.

Our venues came down to Mohawk river and two others. We chose Mohawk River one because of how much food and drinks were included where other places upcharged for everything, and two that talking to their staffs while friendly, didn't really seem to care about us or know what to do in an emergency. The fact that everytime we called or texted Debbie and said "uh hi, this is so and so, we're getting married in June..." she would instantly go "of course I know you're getting married in June, what's up baby?!?" really meant alot to us and we knew we'd be in good hands.

While other venues would take days to get back to us with questions during the planning process, Sal would always get back to us instantly. And on the wedding day that continued. There was never a moment where we didn't turn around and were able to find him within seconds. All while still giving us distance to not feel like we were being followed.

They are also extremely flexible. There was a freak storm that rolled in during the middle of the day right when the ceremony was supposed to hit. We really wanted an outdoor ceremony though. Without even telling us about the impending doom, Debbie and Sal were able to get our guests seated a few minutes early and the ceremony started in what seemed like a seamless planned transition so that we were able to complete the ceremony and get all the guests inside and our pictures done outside moments before the skies opened up. They just have weddings down to that much of a science that it wasn't an issue for them at all.

Mohawk River also has an option for a Dessert room that is a must have if you come here. The whole cocktail room gets turned into stations filled with cakes, coffees, cookies, fruit, and any other sweet you can dream of. It's an absolute hit with the guests and will make you the talk of the town.

Mohawk River is truly an underrated venue in the Capital District and is a place that every couple should tour if they want to have a stress free wedding day that will leave all of their guests raving about being the best wedding they ever attended.
