    The best night of my life

    Running Deer Golf Club made our wedding day stress-free from start to finish. Heather DeRosa, our reception concierge, was truly the highlight of the experience—she anticipated our needs without us having to ask and handled problems before we even knew they existed. The team took care of everything, from setup to cleanup, so we never had to worry about a single thing. The food was outstanding, and we loved that everything was included with no surprise fees. The whole staff communicated with us in a way that was clear, efficient, and professional throughout the planning process. Even though we won't get married again, we'd absolutely do it all over again at Running Deer because of the care and attention Heather and her team provided.

    THE venue!

    From the moment we first reached out to the team at Running Deer Golf Club by Ron Jaworski Weddings, we were impressed by their professional and clear communication style. They made us feel like their top priority, and were incredibly accommodating when we needed to make last-minute changes. The venue itself is spacious and high-quality, with a cozy and comfortable atmosphere that our guests absolutely loved - from the intimate ceremony to the lively cocktail hour and reception. The staff went above and beyond our expectations, and truly made our wedding day feel like it was all about us. We can't thank the team enough for their perfectionist attitude and excellent service, shout out to my girl Kate! - they exceeded all of our hopes for our special day.

    Venue Review

    From the moment my partner and I reached out to Running Deer, their communication was quick, detailed, and professional. They were always friendly and accommodating, saying yes to any request we had. The team took initiative and were proactive, setting up all the decor so the space looked flawless and perfectly matched our garden party theme. The venue is relatively affordable and the ceremony spaces and ballroom make for a beautiful and timeless event. The only downsides were the air conditioning, which was quite poor and left the ballroom feeling very warm, and the steak entrees, which many of our guests, including myself, found to be overcooked. Overall, though, Running Deer provided excellent value and service that made our special day truly unforgettable. I want to give a special thank you to Kaitlyn and Riley for making the wedding planning process so easy. They are a powerhouse team and I loved every moment I got to work with them!

    The Most Perfect Day!! 1000/10

    Running Deer is absolutely beautiful, and the staff is truly amazing! Everything went so smoothly, and they were a huge reason why. As a type B bride, Katie and her team somehow knew exactly what I needed without me even saying a word. From decorating details to last-minute wardrobe fixes, they handled everything! My MOH needed her dress fixed, and the groom had a button pop off. The staff jumped in and took care of both in no time. My concierge, Heather, was incredible. She made sure we ate, kept our food warm, and always had drinks ready for us (even water!). The food was delicious, and everyone loved it. The chocolate room was a huge hit too! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better team!!

    Ask for Riley!

    From the moment we first reached out to Running Deer Golf Club by Ron Jaworski Weddings, we were impressed by their responsive, polite, and attentive communication style. Heather Derosa was amazing - during our wedding, which took place during a heat wave, she kept us hydrated and even hid an icepack in my hair that no one could see! The team at Running Deer was incredibly flexible and accommodating, helping us pull off all our quirky ideas like a piñata, a flip cup entrance, and a flower girl handing out airplane shots down the aisle. The venue itself is spacious and offers a great variety of backdrops for photos. Overall, the exceptional service and beautiful, versatile space made Running Deer Golf Club the perfect choice for our special day.

We’re so glad you felt supported and cared for throughout. It was a joy to be part of such a unique and memorable celebration. Wishing you and Lauren all the best in your new chapter together! Warmly, The Running Deer Golf Club Team
