We had our October 2022 wedding ceremony and reception at The River Club of Mequon and would book our wedding again there in a heartbeat. We signed our contract in December 2020 and over the almost 2 year engagement we never felt forgotten abou...t or made to be less of a priority- all of our random emails with random questions were answered so quickly. We felt like the prices were absolutely fair for the quality we received in the building, staff, food and all the included little “extras.” The entire building and grounds are beautiful- it requires minimal decorating and the views are breathtaking. The food is EXCELLENT, it was honestly one of the best meals of my life! Our guests are still raving about the food even 4 months later, with comments like “This is good, but nothing will ever be as good as Mariah and Ryan’s wedding.” The waitstaff and bartenders were extremely kind, and by the end of the night felt like our good friends. They even have a full on game room that is included which made the kids, and let’s be real a lot adults too, so happy and entertained. The River Club is unlike all the other venues we toured, and definitely stood out against the competition, which made us feel like our wedding wasn’t so generic, and gave us the “wow” factor.
The Event Director, Amber, is an angel on Earth. She is kind, personable, professional and truly strives to make sure you have the best experience ever. Whatever they pay her they need to pay her double because she’s worth it. We had a few hiccups the morning of, including things not being set up the way previously discussed with a different private sales coordinator, and she was so attentive to make sure things were quickly resolved. After our wedding I emailed Amber about the concerns we had with our day, and without hesitation she apologized and offered to schedule a phone call to discuss further. She heard us out and noted they were already brainstorming ways to avoid our hiccups with future couples. Most places probably would not have cared, because the event was over and they already had our money, but Amber went above and beyond every step of the way from beginning to end and cares about her couples to the fullest.
I want to reiterate that our day did not have anything catastrophic happen to ruin our wedding. Our day was absolutely perfect from beginning to end, and given the chance to go back and do it all over again, we would 1000% book with the River Club and Amber. We highly recommend them and have zero regrets.
