As others have noted, Two Rivers is a stunning venue for your wedding. My husband and I eloped there last week. Even though it was just the two of us (no guests) we still wanted our day to be beautiful. The sunset over the river in the background is so amazing in our pictures and video. The grounds are beautifully manicured and drain well. Even though it rained heavily a few hours before our ceremony, the grass was not muddy or slippery at all when we took our photos. But the best part about Two Rivers is the event coordinator Jamie. This elopement is the second wedding we've planned (the first one never happened due to Covid). After the horror of our first wedding coordinator at a different venue, Jamie was a breath of fresh air, a Godsend, an angel, . Even though our wedding was just a tiny elopement, she treated us as though we were important. She was super communicative and always on top of every single line item. On the day of, Jamie corseted my dress, tied my hair ribbon, boosted my confidence by telling me my makeup (which I did myself) looked beautiful, managed the vendors, moved the setup around in response to high winds, oversaw our dinner, etc. She literally did EVERYTHING. We were amazed just watching her be here, there, and everywhere, making sure everything was just right. She deserves every accolade. We can unreservedly recommend Two Rivers and Jamie for your big day.

My absolute favorite layout in southeast VA. The course is challenging, but not impossible. The conditions are always excellent and it is easy to enjoy your round here. The staff are always on point and they make you feel at home. The Clubhouse is the perfect place to hang out after your round for a drink or meal.

Amazing views. I imagine the venue would meet close to any client’s expectations. Everything is neat and clean and those few employees I interacted with, were all very friendly and helpful. The appearance and overall atmosphere is rather ordinary and áltmodisc but very well maintained.

Two Rivers Country Club was a dream wedding venue! We had our 10/17/2020 ceremony at the gazebo, cocktail hour on the beautiful patio, and the reception inside the Cypress Room. As a result of COVID, we only had 13 guests but even with such a small group, the wedding still felt grand due to this prominent and gorgeous venue. I loved how my getting ready shots came out in the bridal lounge! And of course, we took full advantage of the sunset – TRCC is the only venue I know of in our area where you can be pretty much guaranteed a priceless sunset. The staff is also amazing! Jamie, the event coordinator, was absolutely fantastic to work with. We communicated regularly throughout the planning process. She is truly the BEST at what she does and she made our day exactly what we wanted with the perfect timeline. I can’t thank her and TRCC enough!
