Lindsay and her team are amazing! They told us that if all we wanted to do was show up with our dress and suit we could, or we can make as many choices as we want… We opted for making choices on things that mattered to us and let them do the rest. Boy did they deliver!!!! The venue was beautiful and well prepared for our day! They worked with us within our budget and made our day absolutely perfect…My husband and I both said we want to get married again every day as long as they are in charge. The food, cake, and beverages were amazing! By far the best wedding food I’ve ever had and our guests agreed. Lindsay and Vicky took great care in every detail of our day to make sure it reflected us and they took great care to ensure we were not stressed at all…it was truly amazing! Again, my husband and I both were so happy and grateful for all of their hard work and commitment to us having the perfect day! We’re anxiously awaiting our professional photos, but here are some from family and friends!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I could not have had a better experience with a wedding venue. We were treated impeccably from our initial phone call, to our scheduled tour, communication leading up to the big day, and finally the wedding itself. Running Deer is truly a well-oiled machine and dependable in the way they run events. Everything was clearly communicated as far as wedding options and costs, with no hidden fees or marketing agendas. We can't thank Heather D., our day of coordinator, enough for the thoughtful and attentive service she provided to not only to my husband and I, but also to our parents. We felt taken care of the entire wedding day and never had to lift a finger to get our needs met. All of the staff leading up to and on the wedding day were professional and helpful, always open to answering questions and making us feel comfortable. Kate and Jessica were especially helpful in the planning process. We heard nothing but rave reviews from our wedding guests on how lovely the event was and how much fun they had on our wedding day. We attribute much of the success of our special day to how well Running Deer ran everything. If the service wasn't enough of a reason to book with them, it really helps how beautiful the venue itself is, with three different options of on site ceremony locations and a flexible, full proof rain plan. We were even allowed to use the grounds we did not choose for our ceremony for wedding photos, as there were no other weddings occurring on our day. On top of everything the food was so delicious, which is not something that is always guaranteed with weddings. We wouldn't change a thing from our wedding day experience with Running Deer.

We hosted both our rehearsal dinner and welcome party here on a Saturday night in June of 2024 and I would book this again and again if I could! We had around 35 people for the dinner which was hosted in a semi-private area downstairs. We had salads, appetizers and then three options for meals and every option was delicious!! We then head upstairs where we hosted a welcome party for about 100 guests and the Hors d'oeuvres food served buffet style upstairs was just as good as the plated dinner we had downstairs. The dessert was also amazing!! Everyone was raving about the location and the staff helping to work the bar were so friendly. The venue was BYOB and they made it easy to drop off the alcohol ahead of time and kept it cold and restocked constantly. Everyone was so great to work with and they customized everything exactly how we wanted it. I truly can't recommend Spiaggetta enough!! We loved the food so much we went back for dinner a few days later while we staying in Stone Harbor for a few days. The location also can't be beat it is right across the street from the Reeds and within walking distance from everything in Stone Harbor!
