When planning our wedding, Rivercrest Golf Club & Preserve was the obvious venue choice for our reception. As a teenager, I worked at the Phoenixville Staples and would print mailers and brochures for the owners of Rivercrest. When viewing their mailers and perusing the website, I knew that one day I would love to get married there. A little girl can dream! Years went by and my future husband and I had the privilege of attending two weddings at Rivercrest. The weddings were flawless, and the food was exceptional. This only helped to cement Rivercrest as our venue of choice.

After our engagement, I didn’t hesitate to contact Rivercrest regarding October dates. Due to some staffing changes, we ended up working with two other wedding planners before meeting Michele. As soon as we met with Michele, any concerns we had were put to rest and we felt confident in her abilities. The transition was seamless, and the planning process continued unhindered. In the end, working with Michele and Rivercrest was the least stressful part of planning our wedding.
Michele’s organizational skills are exceptional and she puts your worriment at ease. All the decisions were stress-free, and our reception went off without a hitch. Michele and the staff did an amazing job setting up the venue and tending to my bridal party. We will be celebrating our one-year anniversary in October and we still get compliments about the food and ambience. Thank you Rivercrest for making our wedding a memorable one that we will look back on for many years to come!

The Best Day Ever
Our day was 100% PERFECT in every single way. A dream come true. Thank you SO much to Mary and the rest of the Rivercrest Team for making our day everything we wanted it to be and more. From the moment we booked Rivercrest to now looking back on the day, we have nothing but great things to say. Everyone was so accommodating. Any questions I had were answered right away. The venue is absolutely beautiful, food is AMAZING, and the staff truly works to make sure you have the best possible day. I recommend the venue any bride that wants to have the whole event at one place, have a beautiful venue for photos, a bridal suite with unlimited champagne for getting ready, and to have every little detail taken care of by the wonderful staff. Everything was so so organized and coming from someone who is all about planning every detail, Rivercrest was on it at all times. All of our friends and family are still raving about the day and how wonderful it was which makes us so, so happy. If I could do the day over again (and trust me I wish I could) I would do it at Rivercrest every time

Perfect Place for Happily Ever After!
When we were deciding on a wedding venue, we knew we wanted it to be close to home, have ceremony on site, and everything included. We toured RiverCrest when it was snowy and just knew it was the place for us. From our first meeting with our wedding coordinator, Michele, to our tasting to our final meeting, we never had any stress over planning a wedding as they took care of everything at the venue! Even the cake was included in our package!

The food was absolutely amazing. Our guests are still talking about the Mashed Potato Martini Bar that we had during cocktail hour. We also had Crabcake Sliders, Cheesesteak Sliders, and a Pasta station which all did not disappoint. Even the served dinners (which we chose Tuscan Chicken and Salmon) were very delicious. RiverCrest also catered towards allergies of our guests which was great.
The area itself is beautiful as it is set on a golf course. We had beautiful formal and family pictures in front of a waterfall overlooking a pool. Our first look was in front of this beautiful oak tree that was just picture perfect. The girls got ready in the very spacious Bridal Suite. It was also a quiet retreat for the bride and groom to spend a moment alone. We also did a Sparkler Send-Off at the end of the night which our banquet manager helped our guests get ready for the fun end of night option.
We couldn't have chosen a better place to hold our happily ever after!

Excellent!
Rivercrest was a wonderful venue! Our coordinator, Michele, was an absolute joy to work with during the process. She was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and responded to all inquiries quickly (which for a bride is huge). Michele really wanted to try and make the process stress free for us, which we greatly appreciated. The staff on the day of the wedding was also wonderful and so pleasant! Our guests all raved about the food (especially the mashed potato bar). The venue itself is beautiful; cocktail hour has ample space for guests (not crammed at all) and also allows guests to go outside to the pool area to enjoy their drinks and appetizers; the ballroom offers a cool lounge area option for people to hang out while taking a break from dancing. Overall, we can't say enough good things about Rivercrest and their team; they truly made our day special!

There are no words to explain how amazing our wedding was! Mary was our planner and was amazing through the whole process. The Rivercrest staff bent over backwards for us, what ever we or my parents needed they were there! I would highly recommend having your wedding at Rivercrest. Also having a 2 year social member is pretty awesome!!!

We can’t begin to say enough good things about Mary, Koname, and Rivercrest in general! Each and every person/staff that we came in contact with treated us like Kings and Queens. They were organized, responsive, and professional throughout the entire process. We looked at 13 venues and when we left Rivercrest, we knew that was where we wanted to have our wedding. The food was absolutely amazing, the space was incredible, and our guests enjoyed every second. If you are looking for a beautiful venue that will be easy to work with and make your day the most amazing day of your life, Rivercrest is where you want to be!

Perfect Wedding Day/ Amazing team to work with
Rivercrest made my wedding day everything I had hoped it would be and then some, my day was absolutely perfect! From beautiful spaces to a team who truly wanted to work us and share our experience. I knew Rivercrest was the place for us, when I saw their Covered Patio (perfect ceremony space with a straight walk down the aisle for my groom to get a true first impression). Their bridal suite is huge, the space for wedding guests is completely separate from the club space, with every room looking beautiful. Michele was truly amazing to work with. She answered all my questions promptly and made me feel confident when I second guessed choices! Rivercrest worked with us, and helped create our vision, versus other locations that really made you feel like one of the many- who would budge on their package offerings. Our wedding was amazing and I can not say enough good things about Rivercrest!

Our wedding day at Rivercrest was perfect! The venue is very flexible and made sure I received everything I envisioned for my day. The entire process between taking a tour of the venue day one to my wedding day was as easy as wedding planning can get. The venue provides the favors, pays for the wedding cake, and provides complimentary uplighting which was a nice addition. Also if you get married at Rivercrest you become club members for a couple years which is a cool touch. They only have one wedding a day so all the focus was on making everything perfect for my wedding. The food was AMAZING and the staff was even better. Me and my groom had a private attendant that made sure we had time to ourselves for a little in the suite, served us food (made sure we ate a little), and served us drinks all night so we could continue greeting and having fun with our guests. I can’t think of any complaints about my experience.

The BEST Choice We Made for our Wedding
RiverCrest was the first and only wedding venue my (now) husband and I toured. As soon as we visited with our parents, we were ready to pull the trigger and make the decision that day. We were drawn to the idea of having everything in one place, so that it was as convenient as possible for our guests and ourselves. We also loved that this venue does EVERYTHING for you. It was such a stress-free experience, which is almost unheard of when it comes to wedding planning. Michele Morabito was our contact/planner, and she was nothing short of wonderful. She responded timely to our hundreds of questions we sent over leading up to the wedding. She kept us in-line with deadlines. We live in Pittsburgh, so she was very flexible and helped work with us on the food tasting, rehearsal, etc. since we needed to travel far. The day of our wedding..... I cannot believe how amazing the entire staff was! All of us girls got ready in the bridal suite, which was my favorite experience. Taylor was with me throughout the day, helping me out with anything I needed (drinks, food, etc.) I told her how excited I was for the mashed potato martini bar, and as soon as my husband and I came back down the aisle for the recessional, she had one waiting for me! This staff just goes above and beyond. I would recommend RiverCrest to anyone that wants to experience the best day of their life.

Dawn and all the staff at Rivercrest was the best! From the moment we walked into the venue every person was welcoming and so helpful. The decor, food, and service was impeccable, it's been 6 months and our guest still rave about how great Rivercrest is. We couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else because it was simply perfect & I thank them so much for making that happen!

RiverCrest really made our day so stress free and magical. The staff was accommodating from start to finish, and even followed up after the wedding ended! There was not one detail we had to worry about on the day of the wedding, the beautiful people there went above and beyond to do things you'd think you'd have to manage setting up. They even went out of their way to even fix small details that were left behind by the vendors - such as the drapery on our wedding arch, placement of candles etc... Our family and friends still rave about the atmosphere, food, and all-around amazing time they had. I know the smile on my face in every picture would not have been possible if we chose another venue, because I'd be worrying about everything being done perfectly. If you want to be able to focus on the little moments of your day, rather than the little details that the vendors may or may not forget, choose RiverCrest for your wedding!

We had the absolute perfect wedding at RiverCrest! From the first time we saw the venue until the reception was over, the staff, particularly Michele and Kanari, was extremely accommodating. Everyone went out of their way to insure that our special day proceeded exactly as we wanted. No detail was too small, no request too big. They were with us every step of what could otherwise have been a stressful day. I always had faith that no matter the problem, the staff would find a way to make it disappear. In addition, the food -- from the appetizers during the cocktail hour to dessert -- was spectacular. Our guests are still talking about the amazing mashed potato bar. I'd recommend RiverCrest as a wedding venue in a heartbeat. And so would virtually all who attended. Thank you again.

I honestly don’t know where to start in writing this review because everything during our Rivercrest wedding reception was absolutely PERFECT! I could write three pages on how amazing everything was but I’ll keep it short and readable! From our first walkthrough at Rivercrest, we knew this place was it. The ballroom and grounds are elegant and stunning, food is incredible & top notch (seriously can’t wait to go back for an anniversary dinner), HUGE dance floor, and amazing staff. Michele was a dream to work with, I’m actually sad to not be conversing with her on a weekly basis! I am a huge planner, nitpicky, worry wart type and Michele definitely put my mind at ease throughout the whole process; she helped me stay organized, gave me ideas throughout the process, and talked me down from the ledge when I needed it! Every last detail was taken care of and it was definitely noticed by our guests! Rivercrest made our wedding day the best day of our lives! We recommend Rivercrest to anyone who wants a fantastic, fun, PERFECT wedding!

Starting from the beginning, they were one of the only venues we looked at that were 100% transparent on their pricing and did not nickel and dime you for every little thing.
The process of making decisions, selecting the menu, and getting everything organized for the day was made so easy by our coordinator, Michele. She was WONDERFUL to work with, very responsive, and truly helped to put my mind at ease.
As for the BIG day, everything was top notch! Our guests raved about the quality of the service and the food. The wedding food tasted delicious and was not what we've all come to expect from banquet food. Lastly, their staff so professional and will bend over backwards to make sure you have the day of your dreams.
One of the servers saw I was upset when my dress ripped and she quickly escorted me back to my bridal suite, calmed me down, and sowed my dress back together for me! How many other venues would have someone willing to go out of their way to do that for you?
Really and truly, if you want a high end experience without breaking the bank contact RiverCrest - you will not be disappointed.

The best in the wedding industry!
I do not know where to start with all of the amazing things I have to say about RiverCrest! From the start of the planning process with Mary and ending with the day-of coordinating with Konare and Alisha, everyone was so passionate and caring, which made the wedding day perfect!
Sent on 10/31/2018
From the moment I exchanged emails with Mary I knew it was going to be an easy and smooth planning process. To me, Mary wasn't just another venue planner and coordinator, she was so warm and welcoming that she felt more like a friend or relative. She replied to emails so quickly and with full detail, and always answered everytime I called. During meetings, she was so patient and made sure every option and detail was explained. Even though she was the planner and wasn't the main contact on the day wedding, she was still there to make sure everything was perfect!
During the final meeting, Mary introduced me to Konare, the lead coordinator for the wedding day. Konare has the biggest heart and he showed it many times!! You can tell he truly loves his job and wants the best for every couple. Without hesitation, he helped us unload the car during our final drop off meeting, and checked off everything that we had and asked us questions so he knew exactly where everything would go on the wedding day. On the wedding day, he ran the show and was on top of everything. He made sure everything started on time including the food being served. He took care of every single detail and made sure all of the vendors and venue staff were on the same page. Konare is a one-of-a-kind and anyone would be lucky to have him there on your wedding day!
Alisha (I'm not sure on the spelling!) was there on the wedding day working alongside with Konare. She was so sweet, caring, professional and was always there to help!
To top it off, the food was incredible and there was more food than you could imagine during cocktail hour. Food was served on time and I heard from a lot of guests that it was the best food that ever had at a wedding!
Thank you to everyone at RiverCrest who worked so hard to make the day so special!

I must admit, my husband and I are the worst decision makers ever, but picking RiverCrest for our reception was one of the easiest and best decisions to make. So easy, that we didn't even need to view any other venue because we knew this was the "one." The staff at RiverCrest is fabulous! Throughout our entire reception and prior to the reception, every single staff member greeted us with a smile, congratulated us, and asked if we needed anything. Even though I am a huge "worry wart," I felt so at ease the entire time. Every minute detail was taken care of by the RiverCrest staff. We could not have asked for a more attentive and professional crew. One of the coolest things that RiverCrest provides you with is a list of vendors that are familiar with the facility, and all are highly recommended. We ended up picking our florist, bakery, and DJ from that list and again, all services were exceptional. My friends and family continue to rant and rave about how literally perfect everything was from the food, the staff, and the venue. THE FOOD IS SPECTACULAR. The dance floor is also the largest around the area, so you can't go wrong! Michele, our coordinator, was so wonderful to work with and was always available for questions and guidance. We could not have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our marriage. RiverCrest truly gave us the reception of our dreams! Thank you again. We highly highly recommend this dime of a venue.

I can't say enough amazing things about Rivercrest! My parents are members of Rivercrest and as I am very familiar with Rivercrest and have been attending functions there for years I was initially interested in having my reception at another location to do something different. However, I am SOO glad I had my reception at Rivercrest and in hindsight I wouldn't do anything differently. My guests could not stop complimenting the food and the staff. The staff was also incredibly attentive to us and our family. They took care of everything seamlessly. The setup of the bridal suite and cocktail hour was perfect. We even had a staff member solely dedicated to the bridal suite and the bride/groom for the entire evening. Everyone was more than accommodating to anything we needed or my family needed. They also made sure we ate (plenty) at both cocktail hour and dinner. The evening honestly couldn't have been more perfect. From the early planning stages til the end of the evening I was so impressed with this team.

Dawn was a dream to work with in planning our August 2016 wedding. We booked the venue in January 2016 so it was a pretty quick turnaround time and Dawn made the process so seamless. She was very quick to respond to any questions I had and was willing to work with us in regards to anything additional we requested. The wedding itself was wonderful. It was a hot summer day we got married outside around the pool and it ended up being perfect. The one bummer was that I wish the pool chairs were put away as they made it into quite a few pictures when I wish they didn't but other than it it was beautiful and very organized and on time. Our wedding guests raved about the cocktail hour food as well as the entrees. The huge dance floor was a big hit and the staff throughout the evening was very attentive. I would highly recommend Rivercrest to anyone planning their big day!
