My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding at Riverwood Manor, and I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. The lakeside ceremony space exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the natural beauty of the grounds. The ceremony area sits perfectly nestled among mature trees that provide just the right amount of shade and create a magical, intimate atmosphere. The tranquil lake in the background offered a stunning backdrop for our photos. The staff at Riverwood Manor were exceptional from start to finish. Our coordinator, Sarah, guided us through the entire planning process with patience and expertise. On the day itself, the team worked seamlessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly. What truly sets Riverwood Manor apart is their attention to detail. The white ceremony arch was elegantly decorated just as we had envisioned, and the seating arrangement allowed all our guests to feel included in the moment. The natural aisle created by the chairs and trees made for a breathtaking entrance. The reception area was equally impressive, with ample space for dining and dancing. The catering team prepared a delicious meal that our guests are still raving about weeks later. If you're looking for a venue that combines natural beauty with professional service, Riverwood Manor delivers on all fronts. Our guests repeatedly told us it was the most beautiful wedding setting they had ever experienced, and we couldn't agree more. This hidden gem provided us with memories we'll cherish for a lifetime.

This venue is the most amazing venue I toured while planning. It’s was absolutely stunning and everything I wanted in a venue. The venue coordinator is very nice, however, at times it was very difficult to get in touch with her. There is no staff to cover if she happens to be out of the office (which made it stressful as it closer to my wedding). Overall, I would recommend this venue for any celebration. I also loved that I had to option to bring all of my decor and vendors. My overall experience was a good one. My wedding was beautiful and everything turned out great.

First, it’s beautiful. We did our ceremony at a Catholic church down the street and had our reception at the Rafters, but my favorite photos are by far the ones we took in front of the St Mark’s chapel- it’s so romantic! As a reception venue, it is very reasonably priced, and has everything you could need. We got ready in the adorable carriage house, and we also did my bridal shoot there a few weeks before the wedding- they turned out beautifully. Also, if you book with their caterer (The Flyin’ Lions), you get a discount AND support a good cause! But that’s not even the best part: their food is AMAZING. I am literally still dreaming about the salmon and mashed potatoes from my wedding day, and so many guests told me how much they loved the food. The taste testing was fun too, they have a ton of options! Also, Allison is the best coordinator EVER. You will love working with her, and every vendor I hired that had worked with her before told me the same thing! She is so personable and really gets to know you, and she will bend over backwards to help you with whatever you need. She is fantastic with communication; her responsiveness and helpfulness alone reduced my wedding planning stress. I also loved the preferred vendor list Allison provided; it made it a lot easier to narrow down our vendor choices! Allison and Debbie (from Flyin’ Lions) made our wedding and all the months leading up to it so special and wonderful; we cannot recommend them enough!
