River Creek Country Club

Right after we got engaged, my wife and I looked at nearly 50 venues online and in person. We initially took River Creek off of our list because the upfront cost was more expensive than other venues. But, then we quickly learned that all the «less expensive» venues nickel-​and-​dime things like chair rentals, centerpieces, etc. River Creek does it all! Aley, Rachel, Kenny and the whole event team took such good care of us. Anything we needed, they handled.
Just before the wedding, I forgot to drop off ribbon meant to be tied around our centerpieces. Rachel called asking if we still wanted it; I said no — but then she surprised us by going out and buying a perfectly matching ribbon and extra, small decorations for the centerpiece. And, when the bakery delivering the cake messed up — causing our top cake tier to tumble to the floor — Kenny and Rachel saved the day! The two-​tier cake was so beautiful, it was impossible to tell that the whole thing collapsed minutes earlier.
The venue and service was so stellar that a few guests compared River Creek to a wedding at the Ritz! Thank you all so much for making our special day so stress-​free, easy and memorable.

River Creek dinner last night … Rib Eye to rival Golden Coral … Where’s the meat? Tough as boots. No manager in sight … Dining here is getting harder and harder.
ONE very dissatisfied member.

Played the first weekend in May and the course was in excellent shape. The greens rolled true and had fully recovered from aeration. The pace of play was a little slow at the beginning, but the ranger was on top of things and the pace was a few minutes over 4 hours. The beverage cart always has a good selection of beers and was around frequently. Overall, it was a very nice round.

My husband and I chose River Creek as our wedding venue (we’re not residents or members of the club), and were very happy! The ballroom is beautiful and recently renovated overlooking the Potomac! The River Creek events coordinators were wonderful to work with, and helped with some last-​minute coordination with our vendors. Also, the food at River Creek is FABULOUS!
My only con: our ceremony was held on the verandah overlooking the beautiful Potomac River (check out my photos!), but below the Verandah River Creek club members were dining on the patio, and the sounds and chatter was very noticeable during the ceremony.

Absolute horrible customer service ever– super super slow service. I don’t know how it takes 30 min for eggs. For fancy clubhouse your expectations are high.
On Sunday brunch’s they have buffet, but it’s so obvious they don’t want to re-​stock the buffet that every item looks like it was picked over by vultures. And only until they can see the entire bottom of the serving dish do they huff and puff and go get another tray. They only keep like 5 plates out for the buffet at a time. I don’t understand the thought process behind this. The two times I went back to the buffet I had to wait for plates. Like 10 minutes — remember my super slow service comment! And the kicker. It’s super expensive. Never again

Enjoyed the hospitality curtesy of Member Rob. Nice venue.

I am not a resident/​member of River Creek Country club, but planning my wedding, this place was the second venue I’ve looked at. I’ve been hooked ever since. They gladly will allow non-​members to book events at this venue, and they are super flexible and helpful.
Allie in event planning is very helpful and professional. She showed us the entire venue, gave us ideas as to what to do, and offers as much flexibility as you can imagine. Other places I looked at were not as warm and welcoming, and were not nearly as flexible. She even had the receptionist take us for a ride on a golf cart to view the property to see where we can take wedding pictures.
As for the property itself, it’s very beautifully designed. The huge veranda on the back overlooks the golf course and there is a spectacular view of the Potomac River. The surrounding neighborhood is gorgeous– lots of beautiful houses and town homes and very upscale. I cannot wait to get married here!
