After photographing weddings at Running Deer Golf Club for nearly a decade, it's become one of my favorite South Jersey wedding venues for couples who want flexibility without sacrificing flow. Unlike many venues that offer a single ceremony setup, Running Deer gives couples four distinct ceremony options, including a secret location overlooking the golf course that many couples never discover during their initial tour. Between the wooded vibes of The Timbers, the classic Pergola, the Grand Ballroom rain backup and the hidden golf course ceremony location, couples have multiple ways to personalize the experience while keeping the entire day centered in one location.
