Mohawk River Country Club & Chateau

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.

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 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!

food - both quantity and quality! I recommend the vodka/cavear cocktail hour station!

cocktail hour was incredible and most people didn't have room for dinner. It was so good they just stuffed themselves!

ide 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
