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.
