The New Bern Golf and Country Club was an excellent choice for our reception! The river view was absolutely stunning and the food was delicious! Patrick worked with us very carefully on every detail so that everything would go perfect the day of the wedding! The staff was very friendly and accommodating! I highly recommend the NBG&CC for any wedding events!

Seems to be some issues in the event planning department. We saw two different event coordinators come and go during our planning and neither time were we forewarned or even notified - we just found a new person when we called to coordinate more details. VERY frustrating and we lost some planned details due to it. When we voiced concerns we were told they didn't feel a need to notify us because the general manager of the Club was still the same?! First planner told us some planned decorations would be fine, but when we arrived at the reception our lighting people told us the new person wouldn't allow them...so we paid for things we couldn't use. Likewise, we asked in advance and were told we could take photos on the green, but the day-of the manager said we couldn't (we snuck off and did anyway). Also learned after the fact that some guests never got the champagne toast delivered to their table.
All that said, everyone loved the food - espeically in the cocktail hour - the bartenders were great and the space worked fabulously. Location lends itself well to beautiful pictures. We compared places across the state and the food prices were VERY reasonable.
The ballroom is a bit dated and could use an overhaul, just be prepared to use lighting a decor to distract. They also left the top layer of our cake in their freezer and we had to come back the next day and ask for it. So yeah, we had some issues, but who doesn't - since most of our issues were things our guests never even knew about,we didn't get bent out of shape and overall viewed the day as a success.
