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!!

My husband and I got married at Mohawk River Country Club on Sept. 13th, 2024! Our entire day was beyond perfect. There are so many amazing things to say about Sal and his staff at Mohawk River Country Club. Both my husband and I had zero stresses throughout the process of planning our wedding day with Sal. Anytime we met with Sal, he went through everything with great detail and answered any questions or concerns we had! He had a very thoughtful process with the days leading up to and the day of the wedding. You can tell he truly cares and enjoys taking care of his couples. On our special day, Sal would check in on me and my husband periodically (we got ready at the venue in the bridal suite upstairs and groom suite downstairs). He made sure we had whatever we wanted or needed each time he checked in. Sal was a built in wedding coordinator in our eyes, what would we have done without him?! My husband and I were able to enjoy some of the cocktail hour with our guests, and every guest kept saying how it was the best cocktail hour they’ve ever been to! They loved the food so much and attentiveness from the entire staff! The atmosphere during the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, was beautiful. It’s been almost two months and we still continue to get compliments about how fun and beautiful the day was and how great the food and open bar was! This is all thanks to Sal and every single staff that is a part of Mohawk River Country Club. My husband and I would suggest this venue to any couple who wants a breeze of a wedding day and wants to focus on having fun and making memories! We both say we want someone we know to get married there so we can enjoy from a guest’s point of view! Our special day exceeded our expectations and wish we could hit replay!

BOOK THIS VENUE!! We started the wedding planning process without fully knowing what we wanted our day to look like but after touring the Mohawk River Country Club and meeting Sal, we immediately knew this was where we wanted to get married. Sal had an answer and a plan for every question or unknown we had. While offering solutions, he also made it clear that there was flexibility in every decision and that we could really make the day however we wanted to. He was incredibly responsive and helpful over the roughly 1.5 years of planning, all while being a really cool person who we were excited to work with.
The venue underwent some BEAUTIFUL upgrades in the time between when we booked and our wedding day which was awesome. A Groom's Suite was added which looks amazing, and the outside ceremony location was redone and I cannot even describe how beautiful this new space is. We lucked out and were able to have an outdoor ceremony on November 2nd!!
Everything is taken care of at this venue which really lessened the stress of wedding planning. We loved the all-inclusive per-person pricing as we didn't have to make even more stressful decisions. Our guests raved about the food (cocktail hour and the plated dinner) and fully enjoyed the open bar. We were able to go in and decorate the venue the day before, just before having our rehearsal, and did not have to pack up anything after the wedding. All of our things were packed and ready to be picked up Sunday morning after our hotel checkout time. We had full access to this venue the whole wedding weekend (this might not be the case if other weddings would have been booked the day before or after, but this was our experience), and they truly made us feel so special. We really felt prioritized and it meant so much to us. Sal and his wife Stephanie were absolutely amazing and were available to us throughout the entire wedding day- tracking down certain guests needed for photos, bringing cocktail hour food up to us in the Bridal Suite when we were getting my dress bustled, tracking us down to let us know our dinner had been put on our table, getting us drinks if we needed them, moving our ceremony florals into the ballroom to decorate our sweetheart table... they truly made this day perfect and we cannot thank them enough.
Again I say, if you're thinking about this venue, book it! You seriously will not regret it and your guests will have the best time. We hope to get invited back to a wedding at MRCC in the future!

My husband and I got married at Mohawk River Country & Chateau this summer, and truly had the best wedding experience possible. It started back when we were searching for venues, and knew right away after seeing the landscape and meeting with Sal that this was the clear choice (after looking at 8 other venues in the capital region). My bridesmaids, mother and mother in law, and grandmothers took advantage of the bridal suite, and my husband with all his guys and fathers took advantage of the groomsman suite, which led to us having the easiest, most calming morning and afternoon leading up to our on-site ceremony in the evening. Included in the suites were a delicious lunch, which only makes sense considering how amazing the food was at cocktail hour and the reception. The ceremony was beautiful, and spaciously accommodated the 215ish guests that we had attend that day. The cocktail hour was a true highlight, as our guests continue to tell us how amazing the food and service was. Along with everything else, our reception was everything we could have ever dreamed of and more. Our wedding was simply perfect. It’s not only the beautiful venue that made our day so special, but the people behind it. Sal and his wife Stephanie are genuinely incredible people. They are professional, calming, caring, and we could not have asked for better treatment. We are sad our wedding is over because we truly loved Sal and his wife! I could not recommend Mohawk River Country Club and Chateau more as the premier wedding venue of the capital region. Sal and Stephanie, thank you for everything you two did in making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

My husband and I recently got married at Mohawk River Country Club and we can not say enough good things about the venue, the manager Sal, the food, and overall experience. When we had our first meeting with Sal, we knew almost immediately that we were going to choose this venue for our wedding. Sal is very organized and has everything down to a T and is always looking for ways to make your experience better. We were wowed by the expansive cocktail hour menu as well as the bridal and groom suites. Leading up to the wedding, Sal worked with us and our pastor to make sure that everything went seamlessly. On our wedding day, Sal and his wife Stephanie were there to help us in any way they could. Our wedding day was absolutely incredible and we can not thank Sal and Stephanie enough for all they did for us. Almost everything you need is included in the price, so you really can't go wrong! We highly recommend Mohawk River Country Club for your wedding venue!

Everything about this venue was amazing!! The food was beyond delicious and so plentiful, our guests still haven’t stopped raving about it months later. Sal and Stephanie were SO kind, responsive, helpful, communicative, and overall made this process so stress-free and were so attentive to us on the big day that we were able to actually sit back and enjoy the night. They guided us through every step of the planning process and they are truly pros at what they do. The bridal suite is gorgeous and the groom suite is so elegant, we definitely recommend using the getting ready spaces if you can!!. The outdoor ceremony area was beautiful too. The pricing package was so reasonable for everything that was included, they even have beautiful floral decor available for couples to use. We truly feel like this venue is THE place to pick if you’re looking for your perfect day!

We worked very closely with Sal for our May 18th wedding at MRCC and the day was absolutely perfect. His meticulous attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our reception was flawless, and his calm demeanor truly put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. He has the patience of a saint, as I emailed him many times during the planning process and he always got back to me right away.
Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without Sal and his wife Stephanie, and we are incredibly grateful for all that they did to make it so memorable. We are really hoping we get invited as guests to another wedding here so we can experience the impeccable food, bar, and overall service again!

My Husband and I held our wedding at Mohawk River a week ago. This was easily the best decision we could have made to ensure our day was as special as we imagined.
We worked with Sal to plan the event leading up. Sal is extremely knowledgeable and caring about the family's business, and helped guide us through the process with ease. Anything we requested or had questions on, he was quick to respond whether it be via phone or email, and he was very receptive to any ideas we had.
My husband and his groomsmen used the new Grooms suite and we couldn't say enough good things about it. The pool table kept them entertained and the food Sal brought them while they got ready was exactly what they needed. The bridal suite was absolutely perfect and the lighting was amazing which made makeup and hair prep easy. Again, Sal ensured we both had whatever we needed and that started from the moment we got there.
After ceremony, Sal and his wife Stephanie made sure we were well taken care of for the entire night. They brought us drinks and made sure we got to try all of our appetizers from the incredible cocktail hour. Our guests were in disbelief with the spread provided. We have been told all week how amazing this was.
The one piece that truly stuck with me, Stephanie told my husband they had a certain tequila. When she went to pour one for me, she realized they were out. He was not worried about this one bit and carried on. About 20 minutes later, she came over to him with the tequila she had mentioned. She left the venue and went to get a bottle of it for him! This BLEW us away. We have both worked in many service roles throughout our life, and can say this was the most sincere display of service we have ever seen or received. Seriously, thank you again!!!
I could go on and on, but you should really have your event here and experience the passion, commitment, and top-notch service for yourself. Thank you Sal and Stephanie, and the rest of your team, for making this the best day of our lives.

My *Husband* and I recently had our wedding at Mohawk River CC, after having to switch our venue 6 months before our wedding with a very high guest count (makes venue shopping more difficult!)
Sal, the General Manager, emailed me back within a few hours via The Knot to let me know they were available for my requested date and could host the amount of people we were projecting to have. Big Win!!
After that, we met, got their brochure of food, chatted about general venue things etc. before fully booking. Sal was super attentive between email and phone calls about any questions before and after booking the venue. He always replied promptly and even let me know when he would be out of town with family and had me book any meetings prior to him leaving so we were scheduled.
I’m sure he got sick of us emailing so much but you would not have known because he was so professional.
Day of wedding; Sal and his wife Stephanie were SO attentive. They greeted us immediately when we arrived; He told me they would be but I’ve never done this before so I wasn’t sure what it actually entailed. They made sure we had drinks/water (I didn’t visit my bar once!) They had us on the schedule after chatting with the other vendors. They made sure we had food from cocktail hour and dinner and dessert hour so we were able to have everything. Stephanie even made sure I had my change of shoes under the table ready to go!!
All my guests raved about the food and atmosphere and from what I know nothing fell out of sorts.
After the wedding I retrieved my personal items the next day and briefly worked with someone else who was just a friendly and helped move everything to my car.
I’ve contacted Sal since and same attitude and attentiveness as before our wedding.
There is many things I can say about the venue from the bridal and groom suite (more venues need those) we didn’t take full advantage since ceremony was elsewhere. Great photo opportunities , To the food, to the service and care. Definitely consider here if you’re looking for a venue!

From the second we walked into this venue we knew we found the one. Sal and his team went above and beyond the whole time. Lets start will booking. The venue was clean, spacious and just felt right to host family and friends for our wedding. The booking process was extremally easy and best bang for our buck. Sal just made us feel so welcome and eased us that it would be a easy process. The whole venue was prefect from front entrance with the champagne table and a lovely seating area to the separate cocktail hour room then to the ball room with the brand new bar. Just wow!! The food.....not sure what to say because it was just absolutely AMAZING!!! (We are still talking about it a week later and cant wait to go to a wedding here) Day of in the beautiful bridal suite was picture prefect. The marble floors, couches to hang out on, the beauty bar for hair and make up, private bathroom in the suite, coffee maker, drink cooler and included with champagne, fruit and cheese platters and subs with homemade chips. AMAZING!!!! Sal was very attentive in things we asked for and brought them back to us so fast. Staff the whole day of asked how I was doing if I needed anything any time they saw me. I felt so special. They did everything I asked for and it just made the whole day extremally relaxing and stress free. I would book with them in a heart beat again for any large event.

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!

Mohawk River country club was the most amazing wedding venue from start to finish. Sal took care of everything and made our dream truly come true. He was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond to all my questions. Sal and Stephanie made sure the smile did not leave our faces. We had a little hiccup with my dress and without hesitation they were there to assist! The food was absolutely amazing and they made sure my now husband and I ate. All of my guests have been raving about the food and the venue! At the end of our amazing celebration we didn’t have to worry about any of my center pieces or items we had brought to set up. It was all nicely boxed up and organized by the staff and so easy for pick up. Sal, Stephanie and all of the staff thank you thank you thank you. We can’t say it enough how perfect everyone at Mohawk River Country Club made our day!

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!

Everything was perfect. The banquet manager was present and on top of everything during the planning stage and during the reception whether it was food, staff, service and checking in throughout the event that everything was excellent and we didn’t need anything else. Over 140 guests and everyone raved about the huge selection and delicious food during the cocktail hour, the dinner and drinks at the bar. We can’t stay enough about how happy and glad we chose The Mohawk Club for our daughter’s wedding reception and highly recommend this facility.

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 his wife 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 moment my now husband and I met Sal we knew we found the place we wanted to get married. He was very nice and knowledgeable from the start. First off, the venue is GORGEOUS and they recently renovated the bridal suite and bar in the reception room. My bridal party could not get over how pretty the bridal suite was and the food that was offered to us throughout the day.
Sal and his wife Stephanie were so amazing and helpful throughout the entire day and always made sure my Husband and I had a drink at all times. They listened to everything we said and wanted for our day and made it happen. The food was amazing and all of our guests raved about how delicious everything was and left very full and happy. I was told multiple times this was the nicest wedding they had attended.
Deb, the bartender went above and beyond and left to purchase drinks one of our groomsmen wanted due to dietary restrictions and was so funny and talkative with everyone.
We did not have to lift a finger with cleaning up. Once the reception was over, all of our stuff was packed up and ready to be put into our car so we could go enjoy the rest of the night together. We had such an amazing time and I would recommend to anyone to get married here. Thank you so much everyone!

Words cannot describe how great our experience was with Mohawk River Country club. From the first day we stepped foot on 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!

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. All our guests raved about both the food and the beauty of the venue. 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 Sal and the entire team, and the venue itself. They made our dream wedding come true!

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!

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!!!

The first time we visited this venue, I immediately fell in love with the location. The grounds were absolutely beautiful! The foyer, cocktail reception room, and ball room impressed me the minute I saw them. My husband and I met with Sal, the Catering Manager and he was helpful throughout the entire process. He was friendly and really listened to what we were looking for. He made sure that all of our requests were met and made sure we had everything we needed. The reception was amazing from start to finish. I really enjoyed how the staff took care of us and our guests. The way the ballroom was decorated left me speechless and looked so beautiful. The food was amazing too. I only wish I had taken time to eat more of the food because it was the best food I'd ever tried. The quality of the food was the best of the best in my opinion. I'm beyond thrilled that I chose this location for our special day and would recommend to anyone who's looking for a great place to have your event. Even weeks after our reception, our friends and family are still talking about how it was the best reception they had been to. My mom said it was one of the classiest and most beautiful places she'd ever been to. A huge thank you to Sal and his staff for delivering a memorable experience and treating us like family.

The venue was amazing, our wedding went off EXACTLY as planned. Deb and Sal were very easy to work with, very flexible and accommodating. The place is beautiful, the food is amazing, and the service is spot-on. We looked at several other venues before selecting Mohawk, and considering everything we got, we felt the price was extremely fair. Honestly, I can't imagine why you would want to go anywhere else, that's how much we loved it. HIGHLY recommend

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!!!

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.

Absolutely stunning venue and staff. The venue itself is beautiful, the grounds outside, the bridal suite, perfection. The food was top notch from the cocktail hour to dessert. They took care of me and my very large wedding party, accommodating last minute requests easily. Debra and staff went above and beyond at every turn. I will highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married.

Excellent venue with beautiful outdoor views! Both Debbie and Louis were a pleasure to work with. We were planning our wedding through Covid- set a date pre-Covid and then the pandemic hit and we had to postpone. Louis worked with us and the circumstances and was very patient with us along the way. Highly recommend Mohawk River Country Club for your wedding celebration!

If I could give 0 stars I would have. This was such a HORRIBLE experience. I would not recommend this venue even to my worst enemy. Save yourself the headache and disappointment and take your business somewhere else.

Debbie was so amazing. She made my entire dream come true for the most perfect wedding. She was constantly asking me what we need, if she can do anything and even took my my kids when they needed to me entertained. Things could not have gone any better. My wedding completely exceeded every expectation i ever had.

I am so glad we used Mohawk River Country Club & Chateau as our wedding venue! Debbie is incredible. She is friendly, easy-going, and always in control of a situation. She was a tremendous help leading up to our wedding day and helping us make all of our decisions. On the day the venue was beautiful, clean, professional, and a dream come true. The staff were all professional - so much so that I barely remember them being there! Everything was taken care of. Guests are still raving about that cocktail hour! Highly recommended by this bride and groom!

The place was amazing and perfect. A good amount of the guests have been describing our wedding as "fairy tale" like. Debbie is an amazing coordinator, and guest wrangler, and helped get our wedding off without a hitch. The venue is beautiful, the food was great, I cannot recommend this venue enough.

WOW!!!!! My first daughter got engaged a little over a year ago. She had a list of venues and appointments to meet with coordinators. Mohawk River country club was the first appointment. After meeting with two other venues, she canceled all other appointments because none of the other venues had the “down to earth” personal atmosphere! Debbie was above the best! Very confident in knowing what needed to be done and making it all happen without any flaws!! As far as food.... I received so many compliments on the quality and quantity that was offered. Not one if the 150 people in attendance had anything but positive remarks. No one left hungry!!!! All of the servers performed their job quickly and smooth with professionalism! My heart is overwhelmed with love and joy that was felt by everyone that made my daughter and now my son in laws night perfect!!! 10 stars!!!!!

UNPROFESSIONAL. We set up an appointment to meet with Debra A. Scensny (General Manager) to discuss my upcoming wedding. Via email Debra was very kind and congratulatory. In person, however, she was cold and unprofessional, rude even. We arrive approximately 5-10 minutes before our scheduled appointment and found our way upstairs to the main office. Once there we noticed that others were in the office (another couple, I assumed). We approached the open door and several people looked up but no one greeted us. I hesitantly said, "Hello, we are here for our 3 o'clock appointment". Debra (I assume, since she did not introduce herself) told us they were "running about 10 minutes behind" and told us we could go downstairs and take a look around. We occupied about 10-15 minutes with wandering the venue and looking at the rooms we assumed were for weddings. At no point did anyone (including Debra) come down to let update us, so we were under the assumption that it would only be 10 minutes as stated. By 3:20pm it is still not looking like the previous couple is any closer to being finished (we can see the main office through a window from the lobby below) and my fiancee and I start to wonder if we should go back upstairs. By 3:30pm there is still no movement in the upstairs office indicating that the previous couple (now a 1/2 hour over their time) is wrapping up. And still no one who Works There has even acknowledged us, aside from the terse directions to "look around" downstairs. So we got up and left without telling Debra we were going, since we did not feel at all welcome in the establishment. The previous couple was given plenty of time and then some. The previous couple was also a straight couple with a male and female, while myself and my fiancee are both female. Since Debra was overly accommodating via email but rude and unprofessional once she met my fiancee and I, I have choice other than to believe the Mohawk River Country Club is non-inclusive of LGBT couples.

We just got married here last Friday. People are still talking about what a great time they had. Debbie was AWESOME to work with and the food was delicious. Everyone thought cocktail hour was the main course. There is not one bad thing to say about Mohawk River Country Club. Our day was perfect.

My sister got married in 2008 at the Hiland Park Country Club up in the Lake George area, and I had never been to a more impressive wedding: the scenery and venue were BEAUTIFUL, the food, drink, and service were outstanding... it really was a perfect day.
So when I was getting married just a couple years later, I knew I wanted the same type of experience but didn't want to get married at the exact same place.
Enter Mohawk River Country Club, which is owned by the same family.
My husband and I could not have asked for or dreamed of a more AMAZING wedding day.
The venue itself is stunning, with well-manicured landscaping, lush flower beds, and a picturesque pond with waterfall; the decor inside was simple and elegant, which was exactly what we wanted; all our photos came out beautifully. Getting ready was great, as they have a HUGE, private bridal suite. The food was beyond compare in both quantity and quality. Many of our guests thought our cocktail hour was dinner due to the amount and variety of food available. The reception and dinner both ran seamlessly, with exceptional service from the staff. We also had Mohawk River take care of our desserts, and I cannot begin to express how impressive that was! Again, both the quantity and quality of the spread was beyond imagination.
I would HIGHLY recommend Mohawk River County Club to any couple looking for a wedding venue. You will not be disappointed.

Mohawk River Country Club is hands down the BEST place to have your wedding. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous between the ceremony and reception. I was in awe from the very first moment I stepped in the door. When it was the day of the wedding, I could not believe how beautiful they had made it. Debbie, our coordinator, was SO helpful and was there for every step of the way. She helped us fold napkins, come up with the perfect menu, and was always willing to give us drinks at the bar to calm our nerves! The day of the wedding, she took care of EVERYTHING and always had a smile on her face. She is hilarious with so much energy and was such a pleasure to work with. The food and drinks were amazing, our guests could not rave enough about it. Cocktail hour was absolutely spectacular and I want to be invited to a wedding there just to be able to enjoy it more. I could not recommend this venue more to anyone looking to plan their big day. You will not be disappointed and neither will your guests! All of this, with a reasonable and affordable price. Thank you Mohawk and Debbie for giving us the best day of our lives!

When we first visited the venue I instantly fell in love. It's everything I imagined for my wedding day! Rafael and Debbie make sure every little detail is in place!! They were very flexible to work with. It was very obvious that they want the couple to be happy on their wedding day and they go to great lengths to ensure that you are! Myself, my husband and my entire family were very impressed with how smoothly the day ran. This venue not only has a gorgeous area outside for a ceremony or pictures but it also has a beautiful back up plan for bad weather in the gorgeous ballroom. And brides if you plan on getting ready at the venue, good luck finding a more spacious and elegant bridal suite! You will surely feel like a princess on your wedding day! The food is fantastic and there is WAY MORE than enough to make sure all your guests leave full! I couldn't be happier with how our wedding day turned out thanks to Rafael and Debbie! I highly recommend this venue - they go above and beyond to make sure your wedding day is a dream come true!

There were many reasons to have our wedding at the Mohawk. We fell in love with the beautiful atmosphere. Everything was gorgeous. Debbie seemed attentive to our vision for our wedding & was personable. Many promises were made for our big day, we felt like we had an understanding. Many people told us wonderful things about Mohawk that we felt comfortable/confident with choosing them. Unfortunately, many promises were not kept & many details were overlooked. Two months before our big day, Debbie was not as responsive with returning calls. However, when we met a few days prior we went over the final details & everything seemed in order. The day before the wedding, we asked Debbie to swap out one of the table cards. She never swapped out the card, we had to. The table cloths were not as discussed, they were the wrong color. The food menu was not what we discussed either. We needed two vegan options, discussed as white wine garlic sauce with pasta, mushrooms, & eggplant, not red sauce. This was for the my wife & our matron of honor. Yet, when these restrictions were brought to the waiter's attention, he looked clueless. The vegan options came out thirty minutes later, which cut into our reception time. When the vegan options were served, the food consisted of bow tie pasta, a red sauce likely from a can/jar, & frozen mixed vegetables. My dish was not as discussed, it was supposed to be chicken parm. The brides father was not given the correct food, which was required due to health restrictions. A bridesmaid was not given ginger ale due to being pregnant, as discussed & was unable to toast with us. Debbie was more preoccupied with giving a tour 2 hours before our event to prospective customers. Due to these errors Mohawk made, we have left several phone messages & emails to refund four dinners, which seems reasonable. They have not returned our phone calls or emails. We're so disappointed, for what we paid these major details shouldn't have been overlooked.

Having your wedding ceremony and reception at Mohawk River Country Club means having two built in wedding planners. From beginning to end, Rafael and Debbie did everything in their power to make everything look and run amazing and smooth. They are quick to respond to emails and voice mails, and can help with every detail. I am in graduate school, so I was even able to drop all of my stuff for them to set up 2 weeks before the wedding before my semester started! It really took the stress off wedding planning while in school knowing it was taken care of. Also, my husband's military orders changed our original date, and they were more than willing to be flexible and help us pick a new date that worked for us. The food there is amazing, everyone left the wedding stuffed. The venue includes food, open bar, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, along tables and chairs, linens, the ability to rent center piece stands and other commodities as needed. They even have a photo booth that you can use if you go under your minimum price required! My husband and I were highly satisfied with our wedding, and I was so glad to have Rafael and Debbie help me plan the wedding, as my husband was on military orders for our entire engagement.

My wedding day was August 29th, 2014. Debbie and Rafael did an incredible job in EVERY way possible.
The girls and I were there bright and early at 11am for a 630 pm ceremony. We had use of the whole building, which came in very handy. My 5 hairstylists and makeup artist had more than enough room to get hair/makeup done for myself, 7 bridesmaids, and both mothers. EVEN Debbie got her hair and makeup done for my special day! It was my little way of repaying her for all of her help!
Debbie kept track of the time and made sure everything else was going according to plan. She def got a workout that day between making sure the gilrs had anything and everything they needed and at the same time making sure that everything was being set up to my expectations down in the ball room.
A very tight ship is run at Mohawk River Country Club which put my mind at ease. I knew that every detail would be handled, and if there was a problem or issue - it would be resolved quickly.
The amount of food for the cocktail hour was outstanding!!! Most guests thought that was actually dinner becasue there was soo much of it. People were almost too full to eat the "real" meal of beef and chicken. I didnt get to enjoy too much of it because Tim and I were out taking pics, but the guests and bridal party loved it! I think if I could do it over again - and if they would let it happen- I would cut out the formal dinner and extend the cocktail hour to 2 hrs. That way there, Tim and I could mingle with the guests more and there would be more time for dancing!
Debbie always made sure that everyone in the bridal party always had a drink in their hand and was always asking what she could do to help in anyway! I'm pretty sure she was even making sure that the guests had everything that they needed as well.
There isn't enough words to express how helpful Debbie and all the staff were at MRCC. Having confindence in them totally took the extra stress off of me of wondering how the day was goind to go and if everything was perfect. It was and then some!
Tim and I are very happy with the choice that we made to have both our ceremony and reception at MRCC. Our experience made our wedding day even better than we thought it could be!

Rafael was outstanding to work with! He was extremely nice and answered all of my questions before and throughout the planning process. He was willing to work within our budget and plans, and make everything simple! Our guests raved about the food - both quantity and quality! I recommend the vodka/cavear cocktail hour station!

The staff at Mohawk River Country Club was amazing to work with. They were thoughtful and made sure every detail was attended to. I can't say enough about working with them. Our guest haven't stopped talking about how amazing the food was. The cocktail hour was incredible and most people didn't have room for dinner. It was so good they just stuffed themselves!

The Mohawk River Country Club was an amazing venue My husband and our parents looked at this and 2 other venues. This was by far the best choice. The people are very friendly and easy to communicate with. The venue itself is beautiful...inside and out. The cocktail hour was absolutely the most amazing I have ever seen. Anything you could possibly want to eat and drink. And plenty of room to seat all your guests. How many places can do that?! Which was all separate from the main ballroom. They handled all the decor besides what we brought ourselves and the lightening that our DJ provided. Our guests were blown away by the food at the cocktail hour. They had no idea there was still a formal sit down dinner to come. Most said they were already stuffed. You can't say there isn't plenty of food.
There was only one complaint we all had. That was that my father in law is deathly allergic to tree nuts. From the first meeting with Debbie to the last meeting with Rafael Jr, we had repeated and re-iterated the fact that this needed to be a nut free wedding. Anything in the main meals that would normally have any kind of nuts in it, should and had to be LEFT OUT. Turns out that was not the case. There was dishes of nuts displayed out on tables, which we brought to their attention and we thought it was over at that point. Then the salad prior to dinner came out with walnuts on it. Needless to say my family was not very happy with this and my father-in-law basically ate nothing all night in fear that something else might have nuts in it that was not suppose to.
So if you have some serious food allergies, that would the only thing i would be worried about. Other than that the venue was wonderful
