James River Country Club

ountry Club and we immediately knew this was the place to hold our ceremony and reception. From the very beginning Kristin was helpful, kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Any time we had a question or concern, she would respond within just a couple of hours. Kristin and James River Country club made our wedding and reception better than we could have imagined. The service we were provided was impeccable...but the food was even better. As my wife and I were visiting each table during the reception, there wasn't a single plate that had any food left! We were complimented so much about the ceremony and the reception and we have James River Country Club to thank for that. Amazing food and venue and an even better staff!

dinner. Kristin and her staff were very helpful and great to work with throughout planning our wedding reception at the James River Country Club. I highly recommend having your wedding there!

f Catering and Special Events at JRCC. She is AMAZING! We began planning our wedding with Kristin back in summer of 2019 and due to covid we rescheduled 3 times. Each time we rescheduled we worked directly with Kristin who was very flexible and accommodating to us about setting a new date. She even reached out to all of our vendors for us to compare dates to make sure everyone was available. She handled everything which took all the stress away, especially during covid. She made sure that we would have our dream day which we did! Kristin met up with me on multiple occasions to go over wedding plans and we were able to drop all of our things off for the ceremony ahead of time. The day of our ceremony we had the entire place to ourselves all day. The girls bridal suite is beautiful!! While the girls got ready, the guys golfed. The guys also had their own section to get ready after golfing. Everything for the ceremony and reception was set up perfectly!! Kristin and her team took everything into there own hands and made the entire day stress free. We had a large wedding with almost 160 people and they were so quick and accommodating to all of our guests needs. We also had our rehearsal dinner the night before at JRCC as well with almost 50 people. Everyone raved about how good the food was and how nice/smooth everything ran for both the rehearsal and wedding. We truly couldn’t have asked for a nicer place and better day to have our wedding without the help and support of Kristin and her team!! Thank you so much!! I would HIGHLY recommend this beautiful venue to anyone for their wedding or any upcoming events!

e worked directly with Kristin, the wedding coordinator at JRCC. From the very beginning of our planning process, she took matters into her own hands while ensuring that this would be a smooth and enjoyable process. She worked with us on the financial aspect the entire time to ensure it was WELL within our budget. This venue was more than manageable when it came to expenses. She was so helpful along the way, I cannot even begin to explain how appreciative we were of her services. She really made the entire planning process enjoyable. It was not a problem at all when we had to postpone our wedding date. She helped us with so much when it comes to the ceremony details, menu and bar details, and reception details. She allowed for us to make any changes necessary without making us ever feel like we were a hassle or inconvenient. Adding/removing anything from our proposal never felt like an issue. We could easily add more bars, bartenders, decor, bar items, food items, adjust the reception end time etc. without a problem. She suggested we have our rehearsal dinner at the venue the night before the wedding, which we did. She also took the planning for that into her own hands. We had the rehearsal right before the rehearsal dinner. We had almost 30 people attend the rehearsal dinner and the food, drinks and service were still so quick and wonderful. We selected menu and bar items, and she handled the rest. The dinner setup outside by the tiki bar was spectacular. The following day, we held our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception there. The ceremony setup was beautiful. They provided us with golf carts to take around the venue with the photographers for formal portraits with the families and wedding party. The inside of the ballroom for our reception was decorated beautifully. She allowed for us to bring stuff for our wedding days before the event. She allowed for us to really do whatever we needed to do in order to make this easier on us. Everything was set up perfectly the day of. Days before the wedding, the ONLY reason why I started to feel stressed out, was because I WASN'T stressed out. I felt I was missing something incredibly important. But it was all because I picked out the minor details with Kristin, and she did the rest. They provided us with linens. I bought table runners, table numbers and a flower vine for the arch off of amazon and brought in the centerpieces, and the rest was taken care of. We couldn't have been more pleased with the turnout of events. She really did make the planning process feel easy and enjoyable. I was not stressed in the slightest because of how flexible they were at this venue, and how helpful Kristin was. The food was delicious. The drinks were delicious. Service was friendly and quick. It truly made such a difference to have everything run so smoothly and not have to worry about a single thing. More importantly, our family and friends were blown away by the venue itself, and mentioned several times how nice, fun and laid back the staff was. I would highly suggest this venue for any type of event. If anyone is interested, I would be more than happy to provide further details, so that you too, can also have a smooth, EASY and enjoyable planning process!!

was absolutely phenomenal! We had very specific requests for the table settings and overall decorations and Kristen and her staff made our visions come to life! The setting, both inside and out, was absolutely stunning. We had both appetizers as well as a sit down dinner. The food was wonderful! I have one more daughter and I hope that she will use the James River Country Club as well when her time comes. I cannot speak highly enough of Kristen and her staff!

also had the rehearsal dinner there the night before. It was so nice to have everything at one place. We used the Golf Museum for the rehearsal dinner and cocktail hour. Food was fabulous and the servers were so helpful. The servers even joined us on the dance floor! The meticulously cared for grounds were a beautiful backdrop for wedding photos. The Get ready rooms were convenient and the Bridal room was absolutely beautiful! We also had my daughter’s bridal shower there in June 2020- also during Covid and staff was very careful with service and social distancing ! Thanks to the entire staff for making my son and daughter in-law’s wedding day very special !!!

OUS!
