About Canyon Crest Country Club
Canyon Crest Country Club in Riverside pairs garden and waterside ceremony settings with a ballroom reception, framed by mountain and tree views. Its all-inclusive packages fold catering, cake, DJ, coordination, and gratuity into the price. The club is a longtime local option positioned on value. Couples cite it as offering more for less, with strong food and included extras that other venues charge separately. A dedicated coordinator and outdoor-plus-indoor flexibility keep planning simple. It's a fit for couples wanting a full-service celebration on a moderate budget.
What couples love
Couples call it a beautiful venue and say it offered more for less, with so many things included in the price that other places don't offer. The food earns high marks, with reviewers naming dishes like chicken marsala and calling it some of the best food they've had at a wedding. Coordinator LizzieMae is singled out as pleasant, professional, and thorough, helping calm nerves and keep the day running smoothly.
Good to know
Several reviews flagged service inconsistencies, including one table not getting champagne for the toast and slow bread and water refills. One couple described a staff member being rude to family, and another wasn't allowed to set up for the ceremony as early as promised. A coordinator change was blamed by one couple for making their experience worse, suggesting quality varies with who is assigned.
