I could not have asked for a better venue. The clubhouse and grounds are absolutely gorgeous, and they make it easy for you to go from a romantic ceremony to a rocking reception with no hassle, and for a fantastic price. The food was amazing, a...

nd I heard the same opinion from many guests after the event (we're definitely going back a few times to eat at the Grill!). The outdoor access is a huge bonus, some of the kids had fun playing football and people enjoyed drinks and conversation under the string lights of the patio. The staff were a large part of the reason my wedding day went perfectly. We were able to set up the night before and Courtney was on hand to answer our questions and give us helpful advice, and she was also there the next day running the show like a champion. Huge thanks to her and Jamie for their assistance and professionalism, and to Dennis for helping us make all the arrangements. The whole planning process was very low-stress and easy, even when I missed the tasting and had to reschedule. My one suggestion would be to bring your own amplification/sound if you like it a little louder, we had some trouble hearing the sound system while dancing and had to use our own. Otherwise, the venue is beautiful, the people are fantastic and it's an absolutely unbeatable value. You will not regret having your wedding here.

I couldn't have chosen a better place for our special day. Chef James was very helpful from the beginning and other members of the golf course worked very hard. My guests couldn't say enough about amazing service and food!! Food was fantastic. ...

Golf course itself was beautiful. We had an outdoor wedding and the view of the river was beautiful. Thank you River oaks golf course for making our day extra special and it was everything I have imagined and more. I highly recommend River oaks golf for your special events.

Fell in love with this venue. I am a budget-conscious bride and found River Oaks to be one of the cheapest options in the Twin Cities with an incredible view, beautiful patio/venue, and extremely flexible coordinator (Sue!). Was the perfect pla...

I spent tons of time mulling over who to go with for a reception location. When I walked into River Oaks, I was sold almost immediately. The venue is beautiful, and it was incredibly reasonable in cost. Sue, the wedding coordinator, was beyond ...

helpful in responding to my many questions over the course of planning my wedding, and she did so in a very timely manner. When time came for the big day, I couldn't have been happier with the service we received at River Oaks. Everyone knew what they were supposed to do, and things ran very smoothly. All of my guest were amazed at how fast the food was served, and they thought the food was delicious (as did I). The setting in the back of the club is beautiful for outdoor pictures, and some of my favorites are the ones from the green. They even let us borrow a golf cart for some fun and unique pictures! I would recommend this vendor without hesitation!

River Oaks was a great location within 20 minutes of the ceremony site. I researched a lot of potential reception sites and River Oaks was the site that offered the best options for the best price. Sue, the wedding/banquet coordinator, was very...

helpful and made sure that I got what I wanted at the reception. The site is flexible with time, space, and decor. All the extra charges over the minimum food/drink are presented clearly ahead of time, but can still add up quickly. Definitely worth the money!

I used River Oaks Golf Course for our ceremony and reception. Our day was amazing! The food was great there and the service was great. The only thing I would say is a downfall is, they say they can hold 275 people. We only had 215. The room fel...

t pretty crowded! It was hard to move around the room during dinner. The dance floor is a decent size but could be bigger. They charge $595.00 to use their gazebo as a ceremony space but then we had to spend another $450 to have chairs for people to sit. They did set up and take down everything other than the centerpieces which made things far less stressful!
