Beautiful venue for ceremony and reception. Dawn was a pleasure to work with and covered every detail, which gave us a lot of peace of mind along the stressful wedding planning process.
On the day of, I arrived at the bridal suite mid morning, was pleasantly surprised by the snack spread and champagne already set up in the room. Ming was extremely attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the getting-ready and reception.
Our day of coordinator Kelly and her staff set up everything exactly as we wanted and made sure everything goes smoothly, so we could stay as cool as a cucumber on the day of and enjoy our day!
Guests kept telling us how wonderful the food was, too bad we did not have much chance to enjoy it :( All in all, Rivercrest played a major part in making our wedding perfect, we highly recommend it to anyone in the...

Wedding: 4/27/12
I was recently married at Rivercrest on 4/27/2012. I could not have imagined getting married anywhere else! During the year and a half “planning process” Rivercrest and its staff were there for me 100%. I worked very closely with Dawn and she made my experience so easy and stress free. All emails and phone calls were returned quickly. Everything was organized and detailed. On the day of the wedding, I was treated like a princess. Dawn and Minh were constantly making sure everything was being taken care of and I was comfortable. I am still receiving compliments on how nice the venue was, how amazing the food was (best meal people have ever had), and how this was the nicest wedding they have ever been to. I cannot thank Rivercrest enough for making our day perfect!! Thank you!

My son and daughter-in-law. Michael and Tiffany, had their reception at RiverCrest on March 31, 2012. To say that their reception exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The cocktail hour was like nothing we had ever seen before. It was amazing Our guests kept coming up to us during that time raving about how great the food was and how they could not get over all of the choices they had. And that was just the beginning of a wonderful night. The layout of the rooms was perfect. With 263 people, it never seemed crowded! Everything flowed perfectly all night long. The entrees were delicious and even though eveyone seemed to have a lot to eat during the cocktail hour - everyone managed to clear their plates at dinner!!!! The chocolate fountain and candy table were hits also . The dance floor is huge! It was packed the entire night but there always seem to be enough room for everyone. The dining room staff was attentive and took care of everyone all night long. Also, kudos to Dawn, Patti and Chef Todd for their outstanding service! This is a first class venue! You should be so proud!! Thank you for giving Tiffany and Michael and our families such wonderful memories!!! Everyone will always remember their special day!!

Everyone at Rivercrest was incredibly friendly, helpful, courteous, and hard-working. We could not have asked for a nicer place for our reception. All of our guests raved about the impeccable service, overwhelmingly amazing cocktail hour stations, and beautiful location. Dawn was a wonderful coordinator who made a stressful process seem easy!

RiverCrest Golf Club made our dreams come true on New Years Eve. From day 1 the whole process was well organized in planning down to the smallest detail. Dawn Gannon (Wedding Coordinator) was so incredibly helpful and guided us through the numerous decisions with ease. The staff before, during and after the wedding ensured that everyone was well taken care of. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all at RiverCrest and it was absolutely seamless with nothing but compliments about the food and service the entire time. It is absolutely apparent that the entire staff takes pride in their work. We can't wait to go back to RiverCrest for our Social Dining Membership!!!

Wedding: 11/19/11
The staff at the Rivercrest gave us the most perfect wedding day we could possibly imagine! We received SO MANY compliments on the food and that was very important to us. The ballroom looked absolutely perfect and the linens, the place settings, the chairs, I could not believe my vision came to life. I was never a sentimental bride but I am still in awe that I am so thrilled with the way way everything turned out. The chef and his crew did an amazing job and were so great to work with! We were so happy with our choice to leave our wedding day in his team's hands. The banquet team provided such excellent and personalized service, it was truly a pleasure to have them overseeing the party. As a hospitality professional, these are moments that money cannot buy. I appreciate all of the time and effort that they personally put into our wedding day.

We looked at a few wedding venues in the Phoenixville area, however once we visited Rivercrest, we knew it was the best out of any venues in the area that combined elegance and great value. As soon as I took a tour around the ball room, bridal suite, grounds and met with Dawn, I knew this is where I was having my wedding. From the beginning Dawn was very accomadating and walked us through every step of the process. She was very organized and quick in her response if I had questions. When it came down to crunch time, we decided to add a dessert at the last minute, which Rivercrest was able to accomodate.
Because of the time the sun set on our wedding day, we did pictures before the ceremony at Rivercrest which (we were lucky to have a beautiful warm and sunnday in November) had beautiful fall scenery behind and in front of Rivercrest.
From my own opinion, as well as the guests at the wedding, they thought the food was just delicious. So many people said, they were full just on the food that was presented during the cocktail hour. The dinner was fantastic and last but not least, the cake was just phoenominal. I had pictured a small 3 tier cake, however they went above and beyond and the cake was at least 4 feet tall, which included all the decorations I had provided.
We had approximatley 165 guests, the ballroom was gorgeous and extremely spacious. No tables were crammed and the room just poured elegance throughout the evening. The staff that evening was very efficient and the staff ensured my husband and I ate our dinner/dessert.
I can honestly say the entire day was fantastic and went off without a hitch. This can definitely be attributed to the fantastic staff and ambiance at Rivercrest that was provided. I was able to have my dream wedding for a great value with superb service and gorgeous scenery inside and out. I would highly reccomend this location!

From the moment we went to look at Rivercrest as one of our potential vendors, we fell in love with this venue immediately. Not only is this venue spacious and in a great location, but the staff at Rivercrest is one in a million. They are professional, curtious, and on point with everything. I cannot thank Dawn Gannon (wedding coordinator) enough. She worked with me the whole way and answered so many of my questions, emails, phone calls. Everything was an immediate response. On the day of our wedding everything went so smooth and was literally perfect from the ceremony to the reception. The food at Rivercrest is absolutely amazing! All of our guests are still talking about it.

I don't even know where to begin! Having our wedding at Rivercrest was the best decision, and we had an AMAZING time!! From the beginning Rivercrest was so accommodating and helpful, Dawn especially was so great and helped me through the planning process, as at times, I really had no clue what I was doing!
The food selections were extensive, and at the tasting we learned that it also lived up to its reputation! Rivercrest spoiled us during the tasting, and made the selection the most difficult part. All the food at the wedding was phenomenal, we also got the raw bar,, and heard many compliments that the shrimp were the biggest people had seen, and the mussels were the best people have had! The mashed potato bar was a huge hit, and amazing, and over all the cocktail hour surpassed our expectations. Everyone was excited to see a wedge salad for the appetizer, as it was something different, and the duet of the crab cake/filet was delicious, and as residents of Maryland, we are picky! The open bar, and candy bar, were also wonderful touches to our day!
Dawn and her staff, including the day of managers, really catered to our every need and made the day smooth and flawless. Leading up to the big day, Dawn was always helpful and responsive (putting up with both my dad and my questions!). The space itself was exactly what we were looking for, big, open, with windows, and a large dance floor. We still have people telling us it was the best wedding they've been too.
I really can't say enough about Rivercrest, they took care of us and our requests every step of the way. I would not change anything about our day, and I'm so appreciative how Rivercrest made us feel like royalty in how the handled everything about our day.

My husband and I got married and had our reception at Rivercrest in July of 2011 and we are so glad we did. The day was magical. The staff at Rivercrest could not be better. They are willing to meet your every need. From the planning months ahead, to the day of our wedding, their staff made sure we were satisfied in every way. My husband and I LOVED their food. There is no other cocktail hour like Rivercrests, and we've been to alot of weddings! They have stations of unlimited food and the food is first class. We had a potato bar, cheesesteak sliders, crabcakes and more! The nice part is you don't have to wait for a server to bring you one teeny tiny piece of food. Here you can choose what you want and enjoy a great serving size. Dinner was just as fabulous. Our guests are still raving. The grounds at Rivercrest are beautiful inside and out. Outside of Rivercrest there are perfect spots for pictures with amazing backgrounds. Inside is very spacious and well kept, with a huge dance floor. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

Wedding: 7/8/11
Rivercrest exceeded all of my expectations - the facilities are gorgeous, the staff is first class and the food wowed our guests. My husband and I were married at Rivercrest in July. Due to family circumstances, we planned our wedding on a very short timeline which was stressful and the staff at Rivercrest went above and beyond to make everything come together perfectly and ease my mind every step of the way. When I wanted a menu with lots of vegetarian/vegan options + vegan marshallows for our chocolate fountain - they did it. When it started pouring rain shortly before the ceremony started, they quickly pulled together a lush green background of plants and flowers. The ballroom is a perfect set-up for a fun night of dancing and celebrating. If I could give Rivercrest and their staff 10 stars, I would....

Thanks to the wonderful staff at RiverCrest Golf and Preserve. What a WOW day for me, my daughter, new son-in-law and our family and friends. Again, WOW. It all began when we reserved the RiverCrest for my daughter's special day. The RiverCrest was so great.
June 11, 2011 was a wonderful day all the way from the start at the Bridal Suite, the arrival of guests, the ceremony, the cocktail hour, the dinner and reception. The food, the everything.....right down to the candy buffet. I have received sooooo many wonderful compliments from so many of our guests saying "THAT THIS WEDDING HAS BEEN THE BEST WEDDING THEY HAVE EVER ATTENDED". It certainly was a great day. The staff were GREAT and accomodating to our every request. So nice and friendly right from the start to the end of the evening. It certainly was a pleasure working with the RiverCrest.

RiverCrest was the first wedding venue that my husband and I visted--and after that vist we were so sure we wanted to have our reception here that we didn't even bother to look anyplace else. I can honestly say that not only was it one of the easiest decisions we made, but it also was one of the best! From the service to the food, to the beautiful location...everything was amazing and I could not have asked for anything more. The entire staff is top notch, but I need to give a special shout out to Dawn and Patti who were super easy and fun to work with, while at the same time went to great lengths to make sure that everything was perfect and that my husband and I were happy, stress free and able to enjoy our big day!!!

My husband and I were married March 2011. Rivercrest was the one and only place we looked for our reception. From the first time we went there for another wedding two years prior we decided we would love to have our wedding at Rivercrest. The entire venue is wonderful. We would not have had as much help from the entire staff if we had chose another place. Dawn and Todd are the best! They were very helpful in the decision making process. Todd is the best chef! He really blew us and our guests away with the cocktail hour and entree. Many people have referred to the shrimp to "being on steroids."The biggest shrimp cocktail they have ever had. Four months later we still have family and friends telling us it was the best wedding ever! I think I must agree! The rooms are beautiful, the staff is attentive and helpful, the food is out of this world and the location is great! The entire venue was so detailed and ran so smoothly because of all of the people at Rivercrest, they truly make sure your day is perfect! I can not thank them enough!

Rivercrest is a impressive Club with a beautiful setting. Food 5 star and the staff 10 star. Patty the Banquet Manager was excellent. Attending to our
every need and anticipating our every wish. She made the entire evening
run smoothly and without effort. Couldn't have done better at the Ritz.
Rivercrest is a well kept secret tucked in the back hills of Phoenixville.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Rivercrest! I cant begin to tell you how well they took care of us. I am so happy that we choose to have our special day there. I still say LOVE since we are also now members of the club and they continue to amaze us.
My husband and I got engaged one year ago and we immediately started looking for a venue. After dragging him to 10 million places between PA and NJ, we finally decided that we would look at Rivercrest. We initially didn't look at it because we felt it was a tad above our budget. Am I glad we went a "tad" above our budget? YES.
We immediately knew RC was the place for us because it was classy, clean, and convenient. They have multiple ceremony areas which was key for us since we wanted a back up for a rainy day.
Dawn, our event coordinator, was and is amazing!!! Love her. She made sure we were all on track with our items and she put up with my 50 million questions.
The food tasting was far beyond our expectations and was incredible. I had so many compliments about how great the food was from many of our guests. Mash Potato Martinis ROCKED!
I also want to mention how FANTASTIC they entire staff was the day of our wedding. Patty, the banquet manager, really runs a tight ship. She made sure I was taken care of in every way possible. She had a drink in my hand at all times and made sure I ate and had a stress-free day.
The candy bar was great and our cake was to die for. All in all RC was a great place for our wedding. I am also very picky so this place gets a definite FIVE STARS for me. Thank you RC Staff!

If you haven't taken a tour of Rivercrest you really should check it out. We fell in love with the facility after our first visit. Not only is the facility magnificent, but the staff is so professional and friendly as we experienced from our first steps into the building. As a visitor we were treated like celebrities and as a bride treated like royalty. Choosing a ceremony site and reception site seemed difficult, but Rivercrest offered both and executed both flawlessly. Great food was a priority for us and we were amazed at our private tasting hosted by Rivercrest. We were able to taste all of the items that we were considering and then some--we were even able to try some items that weren't on the menu since Rivercrest can customize alot of your menu. Dawn, the wedding coordinator and Chef Todd personalize your tasting and are there throughout the tasting to answer any questions and make suggestions. Our rehearsal and ceremony were beautifully executed by the two banquet managers Kelly and Patti. The poolside ceremony is just perfect with the sparkling pool water coupled by the waterfall cascading right behind us. We were totally blown away by the food and service especially the hors d'oeuvres stations where the food was plentiful. We had nothing to worry about from the day we booked until we left the reception. I would encourage any future bride to visit Rivercrest Golf Club--you will love it as we and our guests did.
