of them are so kind, professional, attentive, and accommodating. Any little question we had they were there to guide us and accommodate all of our needs. The planning process was literally a dream with how helpful Kaitlyn was to us! The day of our wedding, I could cry at how perfect everything was. Jessica went absolutely above and beyond to make our morning perfect and set everything up better than I could have imagined. She truly set the tone for the whole day. Heather was our concierge throughout the whole wedding and I am not kidding when I say I have never felt more cared for in my life than I did with Heather. She took such great care of us as well as everyone else. Our drinks were never empty, she constantly brought us food, literally anything we needed or didn’t even know we needed Heather was there. And not only that, she was so unbelievably kind and accommodating. Running Deer was easily the best choice we could have made. The aesthetic was gorgeous, EVERY worker was incredible, and the food was to die for. I still have people texting me about how amazing everything was and the portions were so big it was amazing. Thank you RD for the best wedding day we could have imagined. It was better than anything I’ve ever dreamed for my wedding day!

ore. They really took our vision for the day and completely knocked it out of the park. Not a single thing went wrong from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Everything ran so smoothly and our guests had so much fun that they are still raving about it. From the moment we stepped into Running Deer we knew it was going to be our place and everyone we worked with throughout the entire process was so lovely and professional. We worked closely with Miranda and Kate from the beginning of the process through to the wedding day and they were so communicative and quick to respond and both incredibly kind and absolutely lovely people to work with. Jessica and Heather were with us every step of the way on the day off and they were both amazing. They anticipated every need and helped keep the day flowing smoothly so that we could just enjoy every moment of it. The wait staff and bartenders did an excellent job taking care of our guests and the food was incredible. Appetizer food has always been our favorite foods at every wedding and Running Deer absolutely crushed it. We couldn’t have been happier with how amazing our wedding at Running Deer was and we will be raving about it to anyone who will listen for the foreseeable future.

They even lint rolled some bugs off of my dress, lol we didn't even have a chance to be stressed because they handled everything so flawlessly. They set up our decor, moved some decorations and reminded me of plenty of things I would have forgotten day of. This venue looks like it should cost you a million bucks, but the best part is it is very reasonable and so accommodating. They had the most spacious and beautiful bride and groom suites, the cutest outdoor spaces and so much more. Don't think twice, Running Deer is the best. You won't be disappointed!

BEST. DAY. EVER. No exaggeration - Running Deer went above and beyond any expectations we had for our wedding day. My husband and I looked at several venues, but both absolutely LOVED Running Deer. There was one date available 6 months out, ...
and we jumped to book it. Kate was always available to answer any questions I had (I had millions), always patient and gave me her honest opinion which was so valuable to me. When we had our details meeting, any stress I had literally melted away. We dropped all of our things at Running Deer before the wedding, and I just knew that everything would be great when we came back for our wedding day. GREAT is an understatement. Everything was absolutely PERFECT. Everything was set up even more beautifully than I had ever dreamed. Heather was our girl that day and she was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. She was there for everything I needed and made me feel like a QUEEN. My parents raved about how attentive she was: from bustling my dress, to bringing drinks, to anything else you could think of. She took care of every single detail and worked her butt off to make sure my day was absolutely perfect. We have gotten so many compliments since our wedding - how amazing the food was, how beautiful the venue was, and just how much fun everything was. Selecting Running Deer for our wedding venue was the easiest and BEST decision we made in planning our wedding and we are so grateful to Kate and Heather for making our dream wedding a reality.

Here is another well deserved, raving review of Running Deer! We had visited at least 10 venues before finding Running Deer and immediately loved everything about it. The grounds are beautiful and loved that there are 2 different options for th...
e ceremony to fit your vibe. Even though it is in South Jersey and at least 2 hours away for the majority of our guests, it was SO worth it! The staff is amazing, especially Miranda and Kate with being so kind and helpful with the whole process. Heather was our day of coordinator, the fairy godmother we didn't know we needed! She made sure we were fed, even having our cocktail hour food at our sweetheart table because we were too busy taking pictures with the guests to actually eat what she brought us, and had a drink in our hands at all times, even refilling my champagne glass with cold champagne since I was nursing it for a while (the thoughtfulness!!!). The food is so delicious, definitely best wedding food I've ever had, and I'm not being biased. The mediterranean sea bass was my personal favorite entree and I'm STILL thinking about the fried mushroom ravioli. They even packed up the leftovers for us, including cake for dayss. Everything was set up perfectly, we didn't have to worry about a thing on the wedding day. The one concern I did have was fitting the max of 200 people in the ballroom, but it made the entire wedding feel more intimate and there was still plenty of dance floor. On top of all this, they were the most affordable venue we found. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you Running Deer for the best day ever!!

Hello! I want to start off by saying that I never leave reviews! This is to anyone that is curious or wondering about having a wedding at the Running Deer Golf Club. The biggest things we and our guest raved about, in no order, was The Venue, T...
he Food, and The Professionalism. THE VENUE: This venue was nothing short of Amazing! Literally spectacular! My wife and I couldn't be happier to have done it at this venue. Our Wedding was in mid-August so we decided to do an inside wedding. The lighting inside was beautiful! We had the cocktail hour outside near the pergola and our guest loved it!! We also had our private vows at the pergola and we captured some amazing pictures. Our bridal party took their own pictures from inside which was also nice. My wife and I also had a feet washing ceremony and we did this at the Timbers. The Timbers was also an amazing spot to take photos during our ceremony. The Rooms for the party were top notch! The guys lockeroom was very big and comfortable. My Wife said that the bridal suite was very spacious and comfortable. They had everything she needed. THE FOOD: I'll be honest and say that we were super busy through our day and didn't get to enjoy as much food as we wanted. We had some the next day and it was still delicious. During our time there I had some of the steak and it was the best steak I ever had. We had a Buffett style for dinner and our guest loved it! The roasted potatoes were to die for! The champagne chicken was also a hit at our wedding alongside the shrimp cocktails. If you have a wedding here, you HAVE to have the Chocolate Room!! It was one of the best things at our wedding and our guests loved it!! I won't spoil how amazing it is, just trust me! THE PROFESSIONALISM: The Professionalism was 20/10. They outdid themselves!! Big Shoutout to the team that helped us! Heather, Jessica, and Kaitlyn coordinated everything seamlessly. Jessica and Kaitlyn were always in touch with my Wife and I over emails. They were responsive at all times! Heather was a gem!! She was there to help at any and every point in time. Our family and friends loved her! This team was awesome! All the other helpers were super cool and professional as well! Please give this place a chance! You will not regret it!! -Julio and Melissa Camacho

ing Deer is incredibly personable and well organized. They answer all your questions- even when you could’ve just read the FAQ a bit better (ha!). They have tastings for you and two guests, they have plenty of materials/supplies for you to borrow (even an arch!!), and they even include food, an open bar, cake, most gratuities, a day-of-coordinator, and a Maitre D in your contract!! The staff is wonderful and will really become your family. I actually GOT SICK at my wedding from the adrenaline crash (OTL not my finest moment) and my fairy godmother had an ice pack, ginger ale, and a stand-up fan placed right at my table for me. She had the vendors back off as well as redirected guests so I could relax with my husband, all while making it seem like nothing was wrong. Even my PARENTS didn’t know until much later how I was feeling. The venue’s design itself is breathtaking. The reception hall is gorgeous for a ceremony if needed, too. I personally chose my venue based on both their outdoor and indoor ceremony spots because I wanted to plan for all types of weather. Since Running Deer has a separate room for the bar as well as a separate bar for cocktail hour if need be, you can rest assured that there will be plenty of space for your guests. I had 125 people at my wedding and I did not feel cramped. I believe that 150 is the max I would have had if I invited more people, though, as the dancefloor will be eaten away by tables as you add more guests. HONESTLY if you want any sort of woodland, whimsical, rustic, greenery wedding I STRONGLY suggest Running Deer and their suggested vendors list. The work is done for you, just sign the check! Ha!

We ended up moving our ceremony and cocktail hour inside — like 2 hours before guests started to arrive — and the staff did such an amazing job accommodating that for us! Inside or outside, the venue is super romantic. The floor to ceiling windows are just so beautiful and the new bar renovations are just stunning. The food was SO GOOD. My fiancé and I devoured everything during our food tasting and during our private cocktail hour. We had so many compliments from our guests that they literally licked their plates clean. Not one person left that venue hungry!! Let’s start with Miranda. She was an absolute sweetheart! I felt like I had the most ridiculous questions and played “what if” with so many scenarios before we finalized our contract — and Miranda was there every step of the way. She responded to every email, every question, and was so patient with us. She never once made me feel like I was annoying her or waiting her time!

She made sure we were always on the same page before moving along. She kept us on track and was super organized. Kaitlyn answered every single email quickly and had an answer or solution to every question I had. She was so sweet and easy to work with.

my countess emails in a timely manner and with specifics on what I was looking for. They were so accommodating with any changes we wanted to make to the menu or if we wanted to do anything to decor. While we are on the subject of food, WOW just wow. There was not a menu item I didn’t like. We chose a buffet for both rehearsal and wedding dinner and it was the best option for us because we were able to get the variety we were looking for. Kate jokingly said in our final planning appointment that if our guests leave hungry then that is their fault and that could not be further from the truth. There was SO MUCH FOOD. Our guests raved about our food. Even those who don’t typically like buffets were blown away. Finally, I want to talk about the day-of. At weddings I would attend, I would typically see the bride and groom never eat nor enjoy themselves due to being pulled in multiple directions. That was never the case for us. During cocktail hour our concierge (or our fairy godmother) set out plates of cocktail hour food for us to enjoy privately before we went to mingle. It was so nice to enjoy food together alone before we socialized. For dinner, we were sent into the buffet room to pick out what we wanted to eat and it was served to our table while everyone else went up to eat. While we were dancing or talking to people, our drinks were never, NEVER empty. There is one thing I would change and these things can easily be requested for future brides. Before the ceremony, we were in the ballroom while guests were in the bar next door waiting to be able to go to our ceremony. They could see us through the bar doors and the windows and I wish we were somewhere they couldn’t see us to get the wow factor when we walk down the aisle. Regardless, I have honestly been trying to convince future brides that I know to get married there because I want to go back as a guest!!

promptly along the way. On the day of our wedding, Kate and Heather ensured that every single detail was taken care of so that we could just enjoy our day. Heather was there every time we needed her with food, drinks, a tide stick pen when I got cake on my dress, she had everything! As for the venue itself, we held our ceremony at the pergola and it was more beautiful than we could have imagined. The food was AMAZING! We chose buffet and everyone raved about the food. The chocolate room was also a huge hit! They helped us box up all of our decorations at the end of the night and overall we’re just so helpful. They also helped save us some money by having things like votives for candles, easels, a card box, table numbers, etc already at the venue. Definitely check this venue out because you we could not have had a more perfect day thanks to them!!

When we were taking pictures during cocktail hour, Miranda was so sweet and personally hand fed us some hor d'oeuvres. And when we didn’t have time to eat during the reception, she boxed our food and even gave us extra to take home. Afterward, they helped break down the decorations and packed them for us to pick up the next day. Kait and Miranda are so amazing and had a huge impact on how great everything turned out.

from June 2020 to June 2021. The time and effort put into making our day special was evident from beginning to end. Miranda was a godsend in the early days of the pandemic and was there for us every step of the way in going over numbers, restrictions, and safety protocols. Kaitlyn was always there to answer my billions of emails, was more than accommodating with added personal touches and helpful with our indecisiveness. Sydnie (Fairy God Mother) and the rest of the staff for both rehearsal dinner and the wedding itself were incredible! Special shout out to Sydnie - she asked at the end of the night if I wanted to keep my bouquet or not. I knew i was leaving on my honeymoon the next day and wasn’t sure about travel/how it would keep. I ultimately said no I don’t need it, but she saw me hemming and hawing over it and kept it anyway. Thank God she did, because my “something borrowed” was still wrapped around it. After the wedding I was freaking out, but the next morning the bouquet and chain were still there waiting for us. This is just one example of the thoughtfulness and professionalism of the staff at Running Deer. They knew exactly what to do, what we needed, and we never waited for anything. We are so thankful to have had the wedding of our dreams. This time last year we thought we would all be in masks, cut down guest list, and fully outside. We were able to have our wedding exactly as we originally planned pre-Covid. The outdoor tent was even taken down the day before we got there, so our outdoor ceremony at the pergola was all out in the open as well. I could go on and on about how incredible our experience was. Now we just need a friend to get married there so we can go back and enjoy it as a guest! 😂

As busy as you are on your wedding day, plus all the planning and events before the big day, believe me, you want top notch help. Well look no further and listen to my advice when I tell you that Ron Jaworski Running Deer Golf Club is it!!! Th...
e wedding crew was absolutely, hands down A-MA-ZING, from answering all my annoying and frantic emails (and my dad’s), to tastings, to expos, all right up and through our big day. The food was delicious, not 1 complaint, and if it wasn’t for Heather being by our sides and knowing what we needed before we even knew, I wouldn’t have tasted any of it. Heather made sure we sampled it all and didn’t get too busy that we get to eat. There are no words to express my gratitude and just how great they all were with relieving the stress and pressure on our wedding day. I couldn’t have done it without them; Maranda, Kaitlyn, and Heather are the best that ever did it!! They are kind, assertive (Heather lol), and very professional in the most fun and caring way. They should really be on a bridal show. Thank you Ladies from the bottom of our hearts and thank you Ron Jaworski Running Deer chef, bartenders, and staff for all your hard work and dedication on making our wedding day perfect!

e kept us on track the whole time, and she really got to know us. I’m sure she coordinates a ton of weddings and events, but every time we seen or talked to her, she remembered us and our details—she made us feel like our event was special to not only us, but to her too, and that meant a lot to us. The day of the wedding was amazing! They venue looked beautiful and Heather, the concierge was AMAZING. She was so nice! She met us outside the venue with champagne when we arrived, she made sure we ate, helped to bustle my dress, and she made sure that our drinks were always full. She went above and beyond in my opinion. She was like my wedding day fairy godmother. The food was amazing too! Everything from cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert...there wasn’t a bad meal! Thank you so much Kaitlyn, Heather, and the entire Running Deer staff for making our wedding day truly the best day of our lives! XO

When choosing a venue for our wedding ceremony and reception, my now-husband and I were all set on moving forward with another venue. My mom actually suggested going to see the Running Deer before finalizing with the other venue, just to make s...
ure we were 100% certain about our decision. She had gone to a family-friend's wedding at RD and she thought we would be really impressed. Turns out, she was right! When we toured with Miranda, we were completely blown away. It was her sweet, caring demeanor, attention to detail and calming presence that had us convinced we had to have our wedding at the Running Deer. We never questioned our decision in choosing RD throughout the entire planning process (which is ironic, since we are both attorneys and it is our job to question everything!) Miranda and Kaitlyn made the planning process smooth and seamless. They were an absolute joy to work with. All of the details for the ceremony and reception came to life in a beautiful way. The day of the wedding, Heather could not have been more of an angel (and I think I called her an angel at least 5 times that night). She made sure we always had a drink in our hand, food to eat, and that things were going smoothly. When a button on my bustle flew off, I didn't even have to tell Heather. She saw the whole thing, pulled me aside, and fixed it with a bobby pin. On top of all of this, the venue accommodated my gluten and dairy free food allergies with the most delicious meals--from appetizers to entrees. Our wedding day was the most special day of our lives, and we have the entire team at Running Deer to thank. We love you all, thank you so much for everything. xo The Morgans

how frivolous and to listen to any concerns we might have had along the way! The venue is absolutely gorgeous including the ballroom and grounds but the staff are truly wonderful!

e made it fun and organized so I felt like I had nothing to worry about. Heather is AN ACTUAL ANGEL. She made sure I had anything I needed the day of and I can hands down say she made my day as amazing as it was because she was with me every step of the way. Even when I was doing my first look and was super nervous, the girls working at the halfway house chatted with me to ease my nerves. I wish I could re-do the day a million times and its all because of the amazing people at Running Deer!

ck to respond and I never felt in the dark about anything going on at the venue. On the day of the wedding, Heather was always there by my husband's and I's side if we need anything at all, like a drink on an 80 degree day. I had a brunch buffet wedding and all of the food was fantastic. They had a nice selection for all different type of food for my guest to pick from. This venue is insanely beautiful. I have guest still talking about our big day because of how nice running deer is and because of their staff. We would recommend running deer to everyone we possible could because that is how great they are.
