River Club of Mequon

for our reception. We loved the outdoor patio space and riding around on the golf carts taking pictures on the golf course. The food was so good and several guests commented that it was the best wedding food they have ever had (we had flat iron steak, roasted chicken, and risotto with sides of baby potatoes and green beans FYI)! Amber answered all of our questions and met with us multiple times to make sure our wedding day was exactly what we wanted. I didn't worry about anything the day of our wedding except having fun with my husband, friends, and family. It was all we could've dreamed of AND MORE! THANK YOU!

luding lawn games), delicious cocktails and meal entrees, friendly and courteous staff, and impeccable service from beginning to end. It was the “perfect” wedding celebration that my daughter had dreamed of since she was a little girl. Her expectations were very high (making this mama somewhat worried that it would fall short of the bride’s dreams). In reality, the bride and groom had the wedding of their dreams, and the parents of the couple were able to relax and enjoy the evening without a hitch. The River Club did not disappoint!! I cannot thank Amber (Events Director) enough for making this a flawless, delightful event. Throughout the 8 months of planning for this event, Amber was always available to help, advise, and make every wish (no matter how “out-of-the-box”) come true. She was always professional, but also very personable and felt like a friend. She was a joy to work with, and I’m so grateful to her and her staff for making this event a beautiful memory for all of us. This is not the first wedding I’ve planned, as this is the 5th of 7 children to be married. So I can honestly speak from experience when I say I was highly impressed with the interaction with the River Club of Mequon. This was the first time we held a wedding reception at the River Club. I am thrilled that another child is getting married in September and he and his fiancé will be having their reception at the River Club of Mequon!!

have described our wedding reception as "The G.O.A.T" (Greatest of all time). It space is beautiful, the food was awesome (guests kept raving) and the service 5 stars!!!!! I recommend it to the Nth degree. Thank you for making our wedding one for the ages!

d accommodating from the second we spoke on the phone and met. She and the River Club helped turn a terrible situation into a beautiful and wonderful wedding day! Her flexibility as well as how accommodating the River Club was to our every request and need was amazing! I seriously cannot say enough good things about how wonderful they were planning as well as day of the wedding!

! Also the bar staff at our wedding were great too!

od was delicious and so fresh. The venue space itself is large with both an indoors and outdoor area which is great for those who need to cool down after tearing up the dance floor. There is large windows that line one side of the room with a beautiful view of the golf course. Dreamy photos taken out on the golf course. We cannot say enough good things about this never space and the staff! If you are looking for a venue space with a lot of space, great food, beautiful views and amazing staff this is your place!!

months leading up to the wedding day exceeds 100 emails. Any quick little question we needed an answer to, Amber was quick to reply to ease our minds. This venue had so much to offer that could be tailored to exactly what anyone could want; outdoors, indoors, 3 bars, large size, in house chef, you name it they had it or could make it happen. Any request we had, Amber made it happen. Its been 3 days since our wedding and I've had family and friends contacting me to tell me something was the best they've ever seen. From the food, to the venue, to the service. Amber & the Riverclub of Mequon set the bar. The price was fair, the service was great, and the venue was perfect. Thank you for making our day something we didn't know was possible.

te changes we had to make. Our wedding day was very magical. In part thanks to the beauty of the venue, but mostly thanks to Amber and the staff at the River Club who made sure that everything transitioned smoothly between the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. I did not have to worry about a thing! Thank you for the best day!

perfect for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Amber, the Director of Event Sales and Marketing, was so easy to work with and VERY responsive to any questions we had along the way. Our wedding was perfect and we are so incredibly thankful we were able to celebrate at the River Club of Mequon!

due to covid, so we were scrambling to find another venue closer to home yet this summer. Amber was very responsive since the beginning and did an exceptional job giving us pricing to meet our needs within our budget in a rather short time frame. She helped us with recommendations and contact information for a DJ, hotels, and transportation and coordinated all of our vendors and bridal party the day of the event for everything to run smoothly. The food was exceptional and the space was beautifully decorated and clean with plenty of room to move around both inside and outside. The bridal suite was a convenient add to the space to get ready in and there were plenty of spots on the golf course we went to take pictures. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend The River Club of Mequon! Thank you to Amber and the staff at the River Club!

as amazing and the bar was accessible from both inside and out. The tables and amenities were set up just as discussed, and no detail was left undone. Rob and Steve gave 100 percent and were on site the entire evening. If something needed attention, they were on it right away. Although the waitstaff could be a bit more polished, the dinner of Pork Medallions and Chicken Marsala was served in a timely manner and was delicious (Hats off to the Chef). Most all of our guest were sure to tell us the same along with how beautiful the venue was. The table and chair linens were done by "Cover it With Class" and were just stunning. Stephanie, the owner of Cover it With Class, and Rob from the River Club work together very well to make for a breath-taking reveal when the hall doors were opened. Thank you Rob, Steve, Stephanie and the Staff at the River Club for creating a very lovely experience for our daughter and son-in-law on their wedding day. We did not want the day to end.

g room, and everyone was very happy, and I heard lots of compliments.

the beautiful scenery overlooking the golf course.

ve spent half the money and had a better day at a better run venue.

The staff was so bad on our wedding day that we ended up getting a refund. We had 3 different event coordinators in 9 months and none of them wrote down the details of our wedding day, so when the day came they missed on everything we discussed. They were short staffed for our wedding, so food was served on time and everything was behind schedule. When complaining to the General manager, she put her hands on my father and I and told us to stop complaining or she would call the cops... even though they were behind and couldnt get our cake served, bar restocked, coffee refilled and buffet refilled with food. Needless to say they ruined our wedding day, never want to step back on the property of this course again.Would not recommend holding your wedding here.

ges to the end, Larry Kreiner, River Club of Mequon's Wedding Coordinator, was wonderful!! Together, he was courteous, professional and personable, making it so easy and enjoyable to plan our daughter's big event and to enjoy it!!. I personally felt that he went above and beyond for our daughter's wedding, and we will never forget that!! The staff was also wonderful and very attentive, the food was delicious:):), and the venue was absolutely stunning!! In the evening, the lighting, both inside and out, was so visually pleasing, that you were truly amazed! The outdoor music that was being played was also warm and inviting, allowing an additional area for our guests to relax and unwind, aside from the dancing. One more note:) the appetizers and the late evening snacks were not only delicious, but a great hit with all of the wedding guests!! Well worth it!! Thank you River Club of Mequon...we would highly recommend you to everyone!! And definitely, you won't be disappointed with Larry's excellent attitude and attention to detail!! Thank you Larry!! You are a blessing!!

you ask for? Thank you to everyone at the River Club for helping make our day absolutely amazing!

ights and the view with the deck is just incredible. There is nothing else like it! If you book this wedding venue you will not regret it!

the chef - the venue was so beautiful. We had so many guests tells us it was the most beautiful wedding they had even attended. We started our day there in the bridal suite and the club had staff there all day to ensure we were well taken care of. This is an amazing venue and there is not one thing I would have changed. It was perfect! Kudos to the River Club of Mequon!

evening all guests needs were meet. Larry when you said, "You are in good hands" you were not kidding. Many thanks.

ason the filet wasn't included in our tasting dinner; not sure why, but I'd recommend finding a way to taste it as it's well worth it! - The special touch to have the Chef deliver the bride and groom's meals was appreciated. - The staff was accommodating to last minute requests, i.e. setting up the outdoor heaters as our ceremony was on the patio and it was cooler than planned. - Larry, Kevin and MaryAnn were all invested & helpful in making our day special. - We had some hiccups due to changes in staff, but Kevin worked to fill the gaps (although I did have to follow up on some details). - We had fireworks at our wedding, facilitated by RCM, which were a huge hit with our guests. - The staff was very accommodating to many of our special details (additional colored linens, yellow school bus shuttle coming and going, special outdoor signage, etc).

r) we decided we wanted to push dinner up a half an hour to make for more dancing time and this was not a problem at all.

sappoints – and everything in between. I feel even more compelled to do so when such a large investment is in place as with a wedding/reception (one-shot once-in-a-lifetime event) and to make sure other brides-to-be’s do not have to go through what I did. Here is our limited feedback from our wedding experience at the River Club of Mequon on Sat., October 11, 2014 (and all of this was provided to the venue in order to get any sort of an apology, rectification, etc. prior to leaving a review): Pros: Our wedding was BEAUTIFUL aesthetically.; Larry Kreiner, the event sales director, was one word: classy.;The food tasting experience was out of this world; the professionalism, taste and vibe to our tasting was phenomenal - all hosted by Patti.; The bridal suite for the women is extremely comfortable and convenient; Everything was extremely clean – from the hall, to the patio to the bathrooms. Cons: The kids meals did not go as paid for (no baby carrots during adult salads, and no applesauce);The meal service (entrees) did not go smoothly - my father, brother-in-law & 4 children did not receive their entrees until after others were given wedding cake;The bars (there were 3) were not staffed (and staff making comments about not wanting to be there) as paid for and it was embarrassing to see guests (including us) waiting with no drinks especially during the open bar hours!; it took almost 20 minutes to get a broken glass cleaned off of the dance floor (unfortunately, it happened) - staff was hard to come by;we simply requested corks to be saved from the night of for a memento craft project-still no corks delivered to us; The staff did not replenish my floral centerpieces with water, as requested (and basic event knowledge)-they had gone over 16 hours without some stems being in water!!!-I had my bridal party go water all of them the afternoon of the wedding. Flowers make the centerpieces that I had put so much effort, time and money into, and to see this simple request still on the back burner (or even forgotten about) was so disappointing and expensive!;We were never given back our cake plate from our wedding cake – that was made by the groom’s grandmother.;The banquet hall was only set up was for only 20 tables for our reception. 21 tables were on our layout/planned and I had to basically argue with the manager to have her make this right an hour before the wedding!;Our top tier of our wedding cake was saved, as requested. However, it was placed in a box too small for it, and smashed in all over (it looked like a child's first birthday smash cake AFTER the child ate off of it), and the top wasn't even all the way closed!;Our manager’s (Tina) "too good" attitude was such a let down and put such a bad vibe out to all the guests during our big day.;The AV (tech personnel) manager didn't show up to our planned meeting the week before the wedding and didn't even respond to our calls until almost a day later! We had such high (and very realistic and reasonable) hopes for our overall decision we made in booking RCM;A beautiful venue can only go so far...

ous (we received many compliments), and the room was beautiful. The view looking out on the golf course is wonderful. We we worried that the room was too large for our number of guests but it wasn't. It is set-up to allow for dancing & a bar at one end, dinner in the center, and another bar with the beautiful outdoor covered Sunset Deck & bar at the other end. This allowed guests the option of dancing or relaxing & talking after dinner. All our guests loved the venue and especially the Sunset Deck for cocktail hour and after dinner. There was plenty of parking, clean & pretty restrooms, a separate entrance for the reception room, a lovely lobby, plenty of TV's and a projector for a larger view of the wedding slide show, and a state of the art ceiling light system. The lighting can be as wild or subtle as you like and there is no extra charge. Larry accommodated all of our personal touches for decorations, meals, and drinks, replied promptly to all my questions & emails, and made the day perfect for my daughter and her husband! We received many sincere comments that this was the best wedding ever. Without the perfect location and great staff at River Club this wouldn't have been possible. I highly recommend River Club!

ERFECT, they were very attentive to our needs, service was fast, and all the guests kept commenting on how beautiful the wedding was. The outdoor patio and bar were great and many guests congregated out there throughout the night. One of the renovations was the addition of LED lights in the ceiling that change colors, and guests couldn't stop talking about them. Two big thumbs up! After months of worrying if the hall would be done, there wasn't anything I would have changed about the day.

ves and friends that don't want to be right by the music. The food was delicious--we couldn't go wrong no matter what we chose. Half the reason we chose MCC for our reception was because of the coordinator, Larry Kreiner. He is so on top of his game and makes you feel like your event is at the top of his priority list. He kept me on track of all the details and was very accessible by both phone and e-mail. He definitely made us feel like we were taken care of and our wedding was a fun success!

est reception food they have ever had! I can't say enough fabulous things about the MCC -- they really took care of us.

ople didn't have to wait for their drinks. The dance floor was way over on the other side, so people who wanted to dance could and if people wanted to chat and hang out, they had more than enough room to themselves. The staff was wonderful and professional- very elegant. The wedding planner was a huge help. Helped arrange everything... from linens to picking out the DJ, transportation, hotel to use, etc. Honestly, there is nothing I would have changed. The food was also excellent.;It's expensive!
