    Best Day Ever!

    We had our October 2022 wedding ceremony and reception at The River Club of Mequon and would book our wedding again there in a heartbeat. We signed our contract in December 2020 and over the almost 2 year engagement we never felt forgotten about or made to be less of a priority- all of our random emails with random questions were answered so quickly. We felt like the prices were absolutely fair for the quality we received in the building, staff, food and all the included little “extras.” The entire building and grounds are beautiful- it requires minimal decorating and the views are breathtaking. The food is EXCELLENT, it was honestly one of the best meals of my life! Our guests are still raving about the food even 4 months later, with comments like “This is good, but nothing will ever be as good as Mariah and Ryan’s wedding.” The waitstaff and bartenders were extremely kind, and by the end of the night felt like our good friends. They even have a full on game room that is included which made the kids, and let’s be real a lot adults too, so happy and entertained. The River Club is unlike all the other venues we toured, and definitely stood out against the competition, which made us feel like our wedding wasn’t so generic, and gave us the “wow” factor.
    The Event Director, Amber, is an angel on Earth. She is kind, personable, professional and truly strives to make sure you have the best experience ever. Whatever they pay her they need to pay her double because she’s worth it. We had a few hiccups the morning of, including things not being set up the way previously discussed with a different private sales coordinator, and she was so attentive to make sure things were quickly resolved. After our wedding I emailed Amber about the concerns we had with our day, and without hesitation she apologized and offered to schedule a phone call to discuss further. She heard us out and noted they were already brainstorming ways to avoid our hiccups with future couples. Most places probably would not have cared, because the event was over and they already had our money, but Amber went above and beyond every step of the way from beginning to end and cares about her couples to the fullest.
    I want to reiterate that our day did not have anything catastrophic happen to ruin our wedding. Our day was absolutely perfect from beginning to end, and given the chance to go back and do it all over again, we would 1000% book with the River Club and Amber. We highly recommend them and have zero regrets.

    Perfect Venue

    We are so glad we chose the River Club for our August 2022 wedding reception. The space is absolutely beautiful and we were lucky the rain held off so we could have cocktail hour on the sunset deck overlooking the golf course.

    Amber, Stephanie, and the entire River Club staff were so kind and attentive. Amber was very patient and responsive when we had questions throughout the entire planning process, which was very appreciated.

    We've received so many compliments from our wedding, with many of them being about the food and service.

    We 100% recommend The River Club of Mequon to anyone considering it as their venue.

    Amazing Venue: Easy to Work With

    Amber and her staff were amazing. They were quick to respond to all emails and questions we had; easy to work with and provided thoughtful suggestions during our wedding planning process. The venue itself was amazing. We had numerous options for decor choices, and the final setup was gorgeous. Food and portion sizing was great, we were actually full after eating our meal (which doesn't often happen at weddings for plated meals). Overall, we highly recommend the River Club to anyone getting married!!

    Our Perfect Wedding-- Thanks River Club!

    Our July 2022 at River Club of Mequon was absolutely perfect! We are so glad that we chose this venue. The space was perfect for our 240 person wedding. Our ceremony was on the patio, which was so beautiful and convenient. Amber was amazing to work with! She was organized, responsive, flexible, and kind--and you could tell that her #1 goal was to make our wedding day exactly as we wanted. I had a pretty specific vision for the ceremony set-up, and she worked with me every step of the way to make it happen exactly as I'd pictured! Stephanie was also wonderful, and was there to help attend to anything that we needed the evening of the wedding. Our guests are all telling us how much they loved the venue-- especially the food! We are so thankful for Amber and the River Club staff for making our dream wedding come true!

    Amazing venue, good value, guests loved it!

    This venue was perfect for us. Beautiful deck with views that worked for ceremony, cocktail hour, and the night. The indoor space was very spacious, even with our 180 person wedding, and was beautiful as well. The combination of indoor space (table settings, bar, dance floor) and outside space (deck, covered area, golf course view) made this a clear choice for us. Amber is a wonderful person to work with and helped us through budgeting, ideas, and planning. She is amazing! Our guests also LOVED the food, and that came from several people who all had different entrees as well. I’d rate this above 5 stars if I could. Great setting, indoor/outdoor space, great service, great food, and worked well on our budget.

    River Club of Mequon's reply:

    Thank you so much for the review. We couldn't have done it without your organized planning and effort. Congrats to the two of you! We wish you nothing but the best!

    110% recommend River Club!

    This past weekend we had our wedding ceremony and reception at the River Club of Mequon. The venue is gorgeous and Amber was amazing to work with! Once we booked the venue we went for a food tasting (could bring 4 additional people) and during the tasting we were able to see table linens and additional decor to help us choose our options. The whole experience was seamless, food was amazing and they help you throw a great party!

    Thank you for taking the time to write a review! Congrats to you and Jake! What a fun, beautiful night - I wish you both the best!

    Oct 2, 2021 Wedding

    The Riverclub exceeded our expectations from the very second we walked in until the days following our wedding. We were planning on getting married at a different venue but after that plan fell through due to some cost stress as we had, we decided to look elsewhere. When we met Amber, we explained this to her and she was so accommodating and kind and assured us that she would do her best to help us get everything we wanted while helping us stay within our budget. My parents are often particular and had many requests and questions throughout our 1+ year of planning. Amber was patient and provided a sense of calmness at all times which really helped put all of us at ease. We had two ceremonies which went exactly as planned. The food and clean up afterwards was quick and efficient. In the midst of everything in the night, we ended up leaving without our wedding cake. We were contacted by The Riverclub as they let us know they had boxed up the cake for us and that it was ready to be picked up whenever we had time. Thank you for helping us make this day so perfect!

    River Club of Mequon's reply:

    Thank you, Rucha & Anthony! It was our pleasure. I loved every minute of planning and the day was beautiful!

    Where do I begin? The River Club of Meqoun is a hidden gem among the areas wedding venues. If you live in Milwaukee country and you need a wedding venue, don't waste your time downtown, come to the River Club and you will be more the satisfied. My wife and I recently had our wedding there, and from beginning to end the experience was stress free. This was in part thanks to Rob and Sarah who went above and beyond what was expected of them to serve us. Any request we had they fulfileld, any last minute adjustments we needed they took care of no questions asked, these people took customer service to a whole new level.

    Besides the customer service the venue itself is straight out of a movie. The beautiful gold course, the classy, yet modern style of the wedding hall, and the decor just really make you feel like you are in a high class establishment. The food and drinks were to die for. Every fish, chicken, and veggie plate we ordered was cooked to perfections, my mother who is the pickiest eater of all time and seriously hates everything devoured her food and my dads as well!

    I highly recommend this venue it is the best bang for your buck!

    We had our wedding reception for family and out of town guests on 12/2/17. Mikayla Dhein and her staff were absolutely wonderful to work with, both in the planning phase and at the event itself. As an older couple planning and hosting our entire wedding and reception by ourselves, we so impressed and relieved at how well Mikayla translated our wishes into a well-executed and worry-free event. The staff was very flexible in adapting both the venue and the food offerings to our desires. The Christmas decorations were beautifully integrated with our wedding theme. We were totally free to enjoy our special evening without worry. Great job, River Club!

    We hosted our daughters wedding at the River Club of Mequon. I can honesty say that it was a beautiful event. There was not one thing I would change about the day. The staff were so attentive, the service was amazing, the venue is so beautiful and the food was excellent. Everything went just as planned. We had so many of our guests tell us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended and the food and venue were just amazing. Kudos to Larry. Mikayla and all the staff!

    Larry Kreiner, the events coordinator, gave us an amazing experience and we could not have been happier with our wedding. Everything was organized, well planned, and went off without a hitch. Larry and his team are very accommodating and flexible, ensuring that our wedding was a top priority. Our guests were in awe with how beautiful the venue is, as well as the gourmet dinner selections. Our only compliant is with the A/V associate, as we could not play our slideshow with audio based on not having the proper equipment. We can assure you that Larry will manage every detail and make your day seamless and beautiful!

    Loved the wedding event!

    I attended a friends wedding at River Club. The scenery was so beautiful! We had a buffet style supper which was organized really well and the food was great. I would recommend booking a wedding in the fall because of the color of the golf course!

    Perfect...Elegant...Beautiful!!! Those are some of the words we heard at our daughter's wedding!! We absolutely would recommend the River Club of Mequon to all brides-to-be, you truly won't be disappointed!!

    From the beginning planning stages to the end, Larry Kreiner, River Club of Mequon's Wedding Coordinator, was wonderful!! Together, he was courteous, professional and personable, making it so easy and enjoyable to plan our daughter's big event and to enjoy it!!. I personally felt that he went above and beyond for our daughter's wedding, and we will never forget that!!

    The staff was also wonderful and very attentive, the food was delicious:):), and the venue was absolutely stunning!!

    In the evening, the lighting, both inside and out, was so visually pleasing, that you were truly amazed! The outdoor music that was being played was also warm and inviting, allowing an additional area for our guests to relax and unwind, aside from the dancing.

    One more note:) the appetizers and the late evening snacks were not only delicious, but a great hit with all of the wedding guests!! Well worth it!!

    Thank you River Club of Mequon...we would highly recommend you to everyone!! And definitely, you won't be disappointed with Larry's excellent attitude and attention to detail!! Thank you Larry!! You are a blessing!!

    My reception at River Club was perfect. One of the biggest selling points for this venue for us was the wedding director, Larry. He is amazing to work with. Unlike other venues, you have one point of contact throughout the process. Larry is pleasant to work with, extremely professional, and very responsive. He has an eye for detail and made the hall look beautiful. When I walked into the room for the first time, it took my breath away. It was better than I could have imagined.

    The night of the event we could not have asked for a better crew. They were professional and attentive. The manager running the event (Stephanie) checked in with me several times throughout the night to ensure everything met my expectations. She was amazing.

    We also received so many compliments on the food from all of our guests.

    The amenities available at River Club are outstanding. We took pictures outside on the golf course and they allowed us to use the golf carts to drive out on the course to find the perfect spot. The hall itself is extremely impressive. The lighting they have adds so much character to the room. You can pick out a specific color that matches with your wedding colors. You can also change the color throughout the night, which is really neat. They also were able to play a slide show during the evening on all of the TVs in the hall (thanks to the great AV guy!). We had our own secure bridal suite to store all of our personal belongings. They also have an amazing outdoor deck that overlooks the course. We had a cocktail hour out on the patio and we received so many compliments on how beautiful it was out there.

    The entire night exceeded my expectations and I would not hesitate to recommend this venue.

    I just got married last Friday, May 28th 2011 and I could NOT have asked for a better reception site! If you have not seen this place, go see it -- the scenery alone calls for a great reception site!
    Larry, the Wedding director, took care of us from the day we signed the contract with them, March 2010, to the day we got married. For the entire year he made sure to take care of us well!
    The days before the wedding Larry was very pleasant as we came over to drop things off asking us how we could help. As any bride should know, the days before a wedding seem to be the most hectic as you are trying to get everything together. Larry definitely took care of us!
    For the day of the wedding, Larry and his crew were amazing. They set everything up perfectly, and his staff was extremely curteous and responsive. After the reception, they were kind enough to put all of our things AND gifts in our cars. Our parents were very pleased as no one wants to put things in their car at the end of a long night.
    As for the food, the most important part, we had the Proscuitto Chicken and Filet Mignon and Shrimp Duet. People came up to us after dinner and said, "The food was the best reception food I have ever had!" For 200 plated entrees, they did a phenomenal job!
    Thank you Larry and crew -- your factility is GORGEOUS and the service was AMAZING!

    Mequon Country Club is a beautiful location, and when you rent the ballroom, you essentially get the whole place to yourselves. It's a great layout, with a cocktail area at one end the dance floor on the other, which works well for older relatives and friends that don't want to be right by the music.

    The food was delicious--we couldn't go wrong no matter what we chose.

    Half the reason we chose MCC for our reception was because of the coordinator, Larry Kreiner. He is so on top of his game and makes you feel like your event is at the top of his priority list. He kept me on track of all the details and was very accessible by both phone and e-mail. He definitely made us feel like we were taken care of and our wedding was a fun success!

    My husban and I had our dream wedding at the MCC! Larry Kreiner, the event sales director, is absolutely amazing at his job and really takes the time to make sure everything is perfect for your big day! The room was set up to perfection, the food was hot and staff was very accomodating to our guests. Our best man even got a second steak. They were very friendly and extremely easy to work with.

    The onyl problem we had during the reception, was a toilet got clogged in the ladies bathroom and none of the staff seemed to know how to fix it. My aunt tracked down the general manager and the problem was immediately fixed.

    Our dream wedding really came true due to the expertise of Larry! I would strongly suggest this venue to any bride and groom looking to have a beautiful wedding in the North Shore!

    Amber is very responsive and quick to answer back to my emails and was very helpful throughout the whole process. The only thing I didn’t really like was that she did came 40min late so I have to go looking for someone from the other side of the building to open the place for use otherwise we would been waiting 40min for her which is not acceptable at all. Beside that everything was good.

    HI Maixee! Thank you so much for the review! I am so sorry I was late for setup. I got stuck in the 9am traffic rush! I am so glad your wedding day was everything you wanted it to be. The ballroom looked amazing! Congrats to you!
