I just wanted to send a quick note to thank you and your amazing team for making Saturday’s event so special! Our family and friends had such a wonderful time, and everyone was raving about the delicious food and the beautiful space. Your staff was fantastic—so warm, attentive, and helpful—and everything came together perfectly for our daughter’s first birthday. We’re so grateful for the care and effort you put into making it such a memorable day. Thank you again for helping us celebrate in such a special way!”

E. Antman 8-9-25

Thank you for helping us plan such a wonderful dinner for our girls.  With family and friends changing their rsvps last minute, we were a huge pain for the waitstaff. 

David was awesome, the food was delicious, and a good time was had by all.  Most importantly, I was able to participate in the festivities with family from near and far because all I had to was show up.  Your fabulous staff did the rest. 

Please extend my thank you to David, chef Robert, and everyone else that helped us.  It was a wonderful evening, the attention to details was spot on, and I would definitely have another family event at RMCC.”

The Royal Melbourne was the most amazing wedding venue! Our day was absolutely perfect. The venue is a beautiful place inside and out. So many places for great photos! Food and service were great, too! Everything was perfect! I also cannot say enough about Megan D. She was such a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process and was on top of it day-of! So organized, attentive, and accommodating! Great attention to detail. Highly recommend!”

This was the first venue of many we looked at when deciding on where to hold our wedding reception. We fell in love with so many aspects of this venue- from the hall itself to the beautiful patio area to the amenities and accommodations. We found ourselves comparing this venue to all the others we looked at afterwards. By the time we had our last venue to check out, we had already made up our minds we were going to have it here. Megan and the other staff were beyond excellent and went above and beyond to help make our day as perfect as it could be. So many of our guests came up to us after the reception expressing to us how wonderful and beautiful this place was. The Royal Melbourne Country Club is definitely a place to check out if you are interested in a beautiful, traditional style reception hall with amazing scenery.”
