Amazing Experience
We had an amazing experience working with River Run to help us have our dream wedding. DeAnne was so sweet and helpful throughout the entire process, her calm and flexible presence really helped us stay positive through the stressful wedding process. The food options were amazing, and our guests all raved about the food. The staff went above and beyond to make the tasting a special experience for us and our families.
The venue looked gorgeous on wedding day, and we particularly loved how the cocktail hour could be mix of indoor and outdoor on the patio. The bartenders & staff made the night so amazing. From drink options to late night snacks River Run provided everything we ever would have wanted. We had around 130 guests which fit perfectly in the space.
Everything was perfect and we can't thank River Run enough for helping make our wedding everything we hoped and so much more.We had an amazing experience working with River Run to help us have our dream wedding.

Beautiful Venue
River Run Country Club is a beautiful venue in Davidson, NC. The lawn provided a private, amazing, outdoor space to have out wedding ceremony and the ballroom is beautiful. A space you can truly make your own.
The staff at RRCC was amazing throughout the entire day. They were so polite and made us all feel welcome.
DeAnne was fabulous from start to finish. She was responsive and very easy to work with. Her main priority is making sure everything runs smoothly on the venue side, and it certainly did for our event. She was extremely helpful in helping us navigate the COVID-19 rules of the state. You can't go wrong at RRCC - highly recommend!River Run Country Club is a beautiful venue in Davidson, NC.

Beautiful, Classic Wedding Venue
We had our wedding reception at River Run Country Club's ballroom following our church wedding in November 2019. The ballroom is beautiful and classically elegant and has a generously sized dance-floor. River Run staff were attentive and incredibly easy to work with. There was a change in the wedding coordinator role halfway through our engagement, but everything still went off without a hitch. They were accommodating and it really felt like they were celebrating with us. The chef is AMAZING and all our guests raved about the food. Though it rained and we werent able to take advantage of the beautiful outdoor locations for photos, there were plenty of attractive locations within the venue and covered outdoor areas that we were able to utilize for pictures. Would recommend River Run a hundred times over and only wish the night could have gone on longer!We had our wedding reception at River Run Country Club's ballroom following our church wedding in November 2019.

Absolutely Fabulous Wedding Experience
Our experience for our May 10th, 2019 wedding at River Run Country Club was fabulous. Trish and her team were such a pleasure to work with and were extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Trish helped us along the way with any questions. Food and service was amazing. We decided on a buffet and my personal favorite was the chicken and lemon herb salmon. All of our guests enjoyed themselves.Our experience for our May 10th, 2019 wedding at River Run Country Club was fabulous.

Wonderful Collaborative Experience
Tricia was incredibly helpful in providing all the necessary details to make choosing a venue much easier. She was prompt in responding to emails and thorough in answering questions. She happily arranged a phone call with us and a tour for the groom's parents (as we are planning from out of state.) River Run has flexible, affordable catering and bar options available to make customizing the menu easy, and the venue itself is as elegant and modern as can be.Tricia was incredibly helpful in providing all the necessary details to make choosing a venue much easier.

Absolutely loved our wedding day. We really wanted to be able to have the ceremony and the reception at the same place, and River Run did an amazing job with that. It was the perfect day. Everything ran just as we imagined and we were so happy we chose to have our wedding at River Run.Absolutely loved our wedding day.

Thanks to River Run and their staff, we had the picture perfect fairy tale wedding!
The staff is very responsive and helpful! If you need anything, they will do their best to get it for you (within reason).

A Wedding Event Coordinator Par Excellence
My husband and I began to search for a venue for our daughter's wedding reception and one of the first places we visited was River Run Country Club. There we met Tricia Johnson for the first time. After that initial meeting my husband, (a former CEO of two publicly traded companies), said, "well, I don't think we will find anyone to top this woman". He was so right! Throughout the ten months it took to plan this event I was met with exquisite professionalism and assiduous attention to detail. At no time was I asked to wait more than 72 hours to receive a response by text or phone or email. Her services were so measured and precise that when our daughter's wedding day finally arrived I was ready to party and had scarcely a care about the reception to come. Although I was forced to share some chimerical drama created the night before by a member of the wedding party her response was immediate and totally extinguished my fears about any untoward consequences. As to the actual reception -- well, what can I say?!?! It actually exceeded expectations. The food was delicious and every detail beautifully executed. Tricia was everywhere and anywhere -- calmly taking charge of everything -- including having to remind me that it was time to cut the cake! I will say, if you choose to book your reception there, be mindful of the tax and gratuity charges (@30%). This may definitely impact food and drink choices if you're trying to keep within a budget -- as we certainly were! But if you are seeking a wedding event coordinator who will handle everything with incomparable professionalism -- from initial planning to clean up (and I almost kissed her when I discovered that part was finished when we returned from the bubble send-off) -- you'll find none better than Tricia Johnson.My husband and I began to search for a venue for our daughter's wedding reception and one of the first places we visited was River Run Country Club.

We held the wedding and reception for our daughter, Sarah, at River Run on Saturday, March 17. What a wonderful weekend!!!
The facilities were exceptional. Given the ability to host an outdoor ceremony and an indoor sit-down reception, River Run is ideal to host weddings. The interior was simply beautiful.
By far, the best part of River Run was our experience with Tricia Johnson, Director of Member & Private Events. Besides being very professional in all she said and did, she was friendly and gracious in every interaction we had. Her communication with us always contained the right amount of detail and information. She carefully listened in order to understand the desires for the wedding and reception. She offered helpful suggestions but never came across as pushy. She provided much-needed oversight to the bridal party the day of the wedding, and she and her team seemed to be everywhere during the reception. Everything moved along crisply and on time. To be honest, Tricia was the best part of our experience with River Run.

Thank you Sam & Betsy for your kind words. From your first visit, on behalf of Sarah & Tyler, I truly believed River Run Country Club was the ideal venue for your family.

We had our wedding December 9th and When we first went to look at River Run it was absolutely breathtaking! We began to become concerned because of all the changes in management but little did we know Ashley was the best thing to ever happen to River Run! From the moment we met Ashley we knew our wedding day was going to be perfect. She truly went above and beyond in every aspect of our big day! The food was great, the site is beautiful, the staff was incredible, everything about River Run was flawless but if you’re on the fence between River Run and another venue pick River Run for the simple fact of Ashley, Ashley, and if you dont get it I’ll say it again ASHLEY!!!! She will work with you to give you exactly what you want, she will reply to your emails even on her days off, and she will ALWAYS do her best to make your vision come to life!

River Run Country Club is a very beautiful venue! The scenery was amazing for our wedding. The food and cake were delicious as well. The reason why I would highly advise others to reconsider booking this venue for their event is because of the staff that works there. Overall, it was very difficult to keep in touch with the people who were coordinating the event. Basically, the people that we met with during the overall planning process was not present on the day of, and therefore there was a lot of confusion and things missed because we were working with someone we had not been introduced to until the day before. We were assured that person who is the current the events coordinator would be there for us to be able to assist, but she was at another location handling another event and we were not told that at all. There were some past reviews of this venue that I had read of people complaining about the timeliness of responses from the staff and I have to agree. Again, this was a very beautiful space, but we were very disappointed with the staff that works there.River Run Country Club is a very beautiful venue! The scenery was amazing for our wedding.

Chris and all the River Run staff were amazing! Our reception was everything we could have hoped for, and I'm so glad we chose River Run.
My husband and I met as students at Davidson College and wanted to have our reception near DCPC, the church on campus where we had the ceremony, since everyone was coming from out of town/abroad and we wanted to keep it local. We planned our wedding in 3 months and Chris was so easy to work with and helpful, even making suggestions as needed. The venue and ballroom are beautiful and Chris was so flexible with us in making plans. River Run has basically NO hidden or unexpected add-on fees, which is extremely rare for the wedding industry! We had our reception with 140-ish people from 5pm-midnight and the afterparty on site (in the bar area) from 12-2am at NO EXTRA COST. In addition we used their baby grand piano, which was tuned specifically for us, and ran a slideshow at no extra cost. We gave out succulents as favors and one of Chris's staff made a lovely sign for the area where they were set up -- such a nice touch!! The service was amazing both before and during the event. The groomsmen played a complimentary round of golf the morning of the wedding and the ladies had the option of getting ready at the club. Chris served as the day-of coordinator and everything ran super smoothly. We had a seated dinner and Chris, for example, VERY gracefully handled the shuffle when a few guests showed up who hadn't RSVP'd. Around 10pm we decided to extend the party to midnight when it was originally to go until 11pm and he was completely cool about it.
I would highly recommend River Run to anyone, especially if you're getting married in Davidson or nearby. Why have everyone drive to Charlotte, when you can have the perfect country club reception just down the street?!
My only negative feedback would be that Chris is hard to get in touch with by email, but he followed through with every detail we sent him. Better to call him!Chris and all the River Run staff were amazing! Our reception was everything we could have hoped for, and I'm so glad we chose River Run.

My husband and I were extremely disappointed by the treatment and service we received from the staff of River Run Country Club. From the beginning, it was difficult to communicate with the director, Chris Zoghby. However, we were so impressed with the front lounge venue and the reviews we had read of the facility that we persisted. Finally after signing the contract and visiting the site on several occasions, I was satisfied that every detail for our son's rehearsal dinner was covered. Arriving thirty minutes prior to the event, we were shocked to see a golf banquet being held in our location. There was no staff available to answer the numerous questions as to what was going on. Finally, I found a sign indicating that our wedding rehearsal party was being held in the Zebra Lounge, the club's sport bar located at the back of the facility. The comparison between the two locations was shocking. Instead of the elegant, airy, well lit room that I had seen and the contract indicated, my venue was in a small, poorly lit room whose main features were the wide screen televisions and the large bar. To accomadate our guests, our dinner tables were crammed to one side of the room. When I was able to speak with Chris and his boss, I was told that an emailed had been sent to me late that afternoon informing me of the switch. I was told that I was not to be charged for this room. When I explained that my husband and I would never have planned the event there if we had seen this room, I was basically told too bad. To top off the evening, the food was mediocre and the service minimal.My husband and I were extremely disappointed by the treatment and service we received from the staff of River Run Country Club.

We loved River Run in every way. We initially chose River Run because of the large ballroom and positive reviews about the wedding coordinator. We had a large latin dance themed reception, so we needed a large ballroom. The wedding coordinator Chris was responsive within a few days and answered all of our questions. He worked with us to create the wedding experience we wanted within our budget. The day of Chris did a great job to keep everything on time. He was never pushy but he kept the event on track. The Chef at River Run made Mediterranean food as we requested. It was tastier than anything we had eaten before! He also decorated our cake topper and cupcakes to my specifications. Our day was stress free and a LOT of guests said it was the best wedding they had attended.We loved River Run in every way.

I can't say enough about our wedding reception at River Run! From the amazingly professional, helpful staff to the STUNNING venue and delicious food (the chef was awesome--he used my Italian family's wedding day recipes to create the menu!), my wedding reception was literally everything I dreamed it would be, and for a much lower cost than many other venues. Even if I had an unlimited wedding budget, I wouldn't change a thing. I had so many guests approach me to tell me that ours was the most beautiful wedding and reception they'd ever been to. I owe so much of that to River Run.I can't say enough about our wedding reception at River Run!

River Run was perfect for our wedding reception. There are lots of places for gorgeous photos outside, and the ballroom is beautiful. We had access to the club all day, including having our hair and makeup done in the ladies' locker room that morning.
Chris was the best coordinator. He's knowledgeable, professional, and calm. My mom and I each sent him countless e-mails asking questions, and he took care of everything with a smile. Chris offered to setup any kinds of decorations we wanted, including over 100 small succulents, saving us hours the day of the wedding.
Beth did a beautiful job with decorating, including doing a complicated napkin fold for each plate. Chris and Beth even tied chair bows on every chair! Chris made arrangements for all of the details, including a piano player for the cocktail hour and special colored napkins for the reception.
Also, Chef Todd made the most delightful wedding cake! It was beautiful and absolutely delicious.
River Run welcomed us to have our engagement photos taken at the country club and around the golf course and offered rounds of golf for the groomsmen. It was a lovely venue, and Chris, Beth, and Chef Todd are amazing.River Run was perfect for our wedding reception. There are lots of places for gorgeous photos outside, and the ballroom is beautiful.

I can't say enough good things about River Run and Chris (onsite coordinator). Chris was very easy to work with and very professional throughout the process. The venue is beautiful and we had to add very little additional decorations. The food and cake were amazing and they offered plenty of options for us to choose from in the price point we wanted to stay in. Other venues had lots of extra charges that you don't think about when picking a location but river run included just about everything in their original price and we had no surprises when we were ready to pay the bill. My only suggestion is to pick a weekend that isn't a holiday weekend. We were married on Easter weekend and they had 3 other events that weekend which prevented us from setting up early and the staff was very busy that weekend which caused a few things to get missed but overall an awesome wedding.I can't say enough good things about River Run and Chris (onsite coordinator).

Chris was really great to work with and truly was willing to do anything to make your event perfect. He was very friendly and patient even with the thousand questions we asked him. The whole staff was amazing! The servers were polite and professional. The food was delicious down to the wonderful appetizers. The pastry chef really listened and helped me decide and oh my gosh the cake was moist and delicious. My day was perfect. I could not have picked a more beautiful place with awesome people!Chris was really great to work with and truly was willing to do anything to make your event perfect.
