Where Your Fairytale Wedding Comes to Life!
Holds ceremonies and receptions
We had an amazing experience with RAL. When planning alongside friends, I quickly came to realize how lucky I was to have food, drinks, ceremony, and reception all in one package. Each staff member was attentive to all of our needs and made our day run smoothly, from the beginning of planning to the big day. Lisa was so helpful and an expert in making sure everything was perfect. Our pictures from the inside and out turned out beautifully. We were so lucky to have used RAL for our big day!

Last month we had our wedding at RAL and the day was beyond perfect. Every part of the day went unbelievably well. The wedding venue can speak for itself with how beautiful it is. ...
Our pictures turned out absolutely stunning and our guests have not stopped talking about it. The food was amazing. Lisa also helped us make a menu that was specific but also within our budget. It was delicious. The reason why the day went so smoothly was because the staff was so attentive and amazing. Lisa was so wonderful and sweet. She was there the night of the rehearsal and the day of the wedding making sure everything went smoothly. She definitely knows how to do her job well and she cares very much. Not just her but the whole staff. When I finally got time to go up to the bar the bartender told me how beautiful I looked and how lovely our guests are and how beautiful our day was. It just made the day even sweeter knowing how much their staff cared. From the pictures I have posted online I already have people asking me about the venue. The price of this venue is unbelievable for everything that you get and how perfect the day went. I recommend RAL very very highly. Thank you for the best day ever!!

event coordinator was great and kept in contact with us consistently throughout the whole process. The only major hiccup we had was that unfortunately Lisa was out of town the day of our wedding and the event staff was very disorganized without her being there to facilitate. I saw the event captain once at the very end of the night and she wasn’t very friendly. The one thing that upset me was that they did not accommodate the vegan meals that I had communicated by email on multiple occasions. Other than small issues with the staff, everything went great and if Lisa was there it would have been perfect.

Royal American Links is a charming venue! The pricing is excellent when I compared it to other supposedly “all inclusive” venues.
The building itself is charming and perfect for ...

The food is EXCELLENT. Our family and friends were so impressed. They accommodated special dietary requirements for my vegetarian guests & children. The bar service was on point!
All that accompanied by a very thoughtful and attentive staff made a huge impression on us. Lisa and the team at RAL did an outstanding job guiding us through our wedding. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience.

he golf course were perfect. After we booked, we had a food tasting at the venue and everything. was. delicious. I felt so secure in the fact that RAL had their own catering team and it wasn't an extra step for me to figure out. The food was honestly some of the best "wedding food" I have had. We had guests compliment us at and after our wedding about it! The space was great. We had about 130 guests and around 16 tables and still had room for a decent dance floor. I loved how there was a balcony for guests to go out on if they wanted a break from dancing. The large windows and classic chandeliers were a selling point for me and the space turned out great in pictures! Lisa, the venue coordinator, is extremely speedy at responding to any concerns or questions you may have—I was impressed! My only downside would be that we didn't have a final walkthrough like some other venues offered closer to the wedding date, so I had to ask a lot of questions about the set-up situation, which were all answered. All in all, a great and stunning space! Thank you RAL team!!

Our server, the younger lady, was outstanding. However, we had significant issues with Lisa, the Event Coordinator, and another staff member with short curly hair, which impacted o...
ur overall experience with the venue. From the outset, there were miscommunications, including Lisa initially confirming our date was available, then later stating it was already booked, admitting she should have checked her calendar more thoroughly. Upon our arrival, cocktail hour was being set up in the main hall, despite prior discussions confirming we would use the downstairs area.
The wedding day itself was disorganized, as Lisa appeared to lack a clear understanding of the schedule and arrangements. We were disappointed by the lack of coordination, particularly given the significant investment we made in the venue. Lisa's approach was unprofessional; she displayed a confrontational attitude, and on multiple occasions, she raised her voice at our day-of coordinator in front of guests. We were also promised a golf cart for photos, which was not provided, forcing us to walk in the rain to take pictures.
We had to request contract revisions several times due to numerous inaccuracies, which further added to our frustration. Given the number of issues and the level of disorganization, we cannot recommend the venue to others. If someone chooses to book here, we would advise them to be prepared for potential challenges and to be aware of the unprofessional manner in which our event was handled. We strongly suggest a reevaluation of Lisa’s role, as her attitude and lack of event planning knowledge had a significant negative impact on our experience.

lding beautiful, but the staff is all so welcoming and friendly. And, I can’t forget, Lisa! She was such a blessing! She answered all my questions in a timely fashion, and gave me some insightful ideas on things we could change around and do differently (when we had to change a number of things the day before our event!). She was personable, but professional in everything she did! This event would have gone much differently if it wasn’t for Lisa! The food (we did the Italian Feast) was delicious, and that was all thanks to the kitchen staff! Very open concept with lots of room, and pictures don’t do it justice… it is beautiful!
This venue is fairly affordable, and I would, without a doubt, definitely recommend it to anyone reading this / looking for a venue for your event and/or wedding.

As a wedding coordinator, I was blown away by the service provided by the entire staff at Royal American Links for my client's wedding this past weekend. Lisa Johnson was so prompt...
with all her email replies and suggestions. She was so friendly, I felt like I'd known her forever! She was very accommodating even in helping a guest with a food allergy by preparing a lovely plate of safe food to eat on the spur of the moment. Lisa the banquet captain and her staff went above and beyond every chance they got. This tired coordinator was so appreciative of the helpful set up team reaching high on the mantel to help take down decor. It probably seemed like nothing to them but made a huge impression on me.
I will highly recommend any future clients consider having their events at Royal American Links!

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony, reception, and rehearsal dinner at Royal American Links in November of 2020. The staff there were amazing and helped make sure everything...
turned out beautifully. Lisa was very organized every step of the way during planning. She was very knowledgeable about several wedding vendors in the area and was able to give recommendations on DJs, florists, cake bakers, and several other wedding essentials making the planning process a lot less stressful. The staff was also very accommodating for our guests with food sensitivities/allergies. They went above and beyond and were able to create a plate separate from the rest of the buffet to help ensure that it did not contain the allergen. One of our guests exclaimed that this was the first time he felt comfortable eating the meal at a wedding. I would definitely recommend Royal American Links for any event!

I can't say enough good things about this venue! From the magical, fairy-tale castle vibe to the excellent food, everything was perfect. One of my favorite things about this venue ...
is that very little decorating was needed because the structural aspects (the beams, stone fireplace, etc.) made it unnecessary. The true highlight of Royal American, however, is the events coordinator Lisa Johnson. She was incredible; always got back to me the same day when I would email her, and she made sure my wedding ran smoothly. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a stress-free, magical day!

Our guests enjoyed every minute of the event, from the decor, landscape, wait staff, and amazingly delicious food (and we’re a big Italian family, so we know food). The only issue we had was that the air conditioning was not very powerful, so on a hot summer day our guests were all hot and sweaty. We all still had a great time, just looked like we had all just finished working out before taking photos!

She was incredibly responsive to any questions I had while planning the wedding day and was just able to take care of everything for me without the drama. I was able to set up for the reception 2 days before the wedding, which was such a stress-relief to me. When I walked in to the reception on my wedding, it was my dream come true, but even better. The place looked stunning and Lisa and her team went above and beyond for my husband and I and our guests. Our guests are still raving about it after 2 weeks of our special day! We are so thankful and appreciative of Lisa and the staff at Royal American Links :) For anyone looking for a beautiful gem of a venue, great price, amazing staff, and a stress-free wedding/reception day please choose Royal American!

I've been to several weddings at Royal American in the last few years, and couldn't wait for my daughter to see it. She fell in love as soon as we walked in. It was exactly what ...
she imagined- quaint and charming; like a little castle. Lisa was so easy to work with, even when we would just "pop" in. All the details that we worried about for a year fell into place, and everything was wonderful. Lisa even helped us with some decorations that we would never have thought of. There is no doubt that she cares about each and every bride. It was unseasonably cold for the end of April, so the beautiful stone fireplace was lit. The food was so good, and the menu varied. We had a visit from the chef during the wedding to make sure everything was to our liking. The golf course is so pretty that there was no need to take pictures anywhere else.
