“From the moment we reached out to Hotel Madison about hosting our wedding, they made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Our coordinator was quick to respond to all of our questions, comfortable walking us through each detail, and genuinely caring about ensuring our day was perfect. The venue itself was beautiful, with elegant lighting that created a warm and romantic atmosphere. We were impressed by the flexibility of the staff to accommodate our needs, and the overall value of their wedding package was amazing - it included so many extras that other venues charged for separately. Having one dedicated point of contact from start to finish was incredibly helpful, as she knew all the ins and outs of our wedding and could anticipate our needs.

“I don’t think I can say enough amazing things about Bridget and the staff at Rivercrest Farm and Events. With my research and talking to other venues, Rivercrest provides a unique opportunity for couples for many reasons - multiple Airbnb’s onsite, ability to decorate the venue yourself, having the venue for 2.5 days, the open mindedness to creative ideas, and no one else has Bridget!! When my now husband and I drove up on the property, we loved how quiet and beautiful the area was. But it was Bridget who sold us on the venue. Bridget is one of the friendliest, supportive, and most enthusiastic person - the best combination of what you want for an event coordinator. We looked at another place before seeing Rivercrest and we heard a lot of “no’s”- “No we wouldn’t do this or couldn’t do this”. So when we met Bridget, it was a breath of fresh air. When we told her our ideas and vision, it was a lot of “YES!” or “we can figure it out”. If there was something she wasn’t sure we could do, she would reach out to the owners or provide other solutions. Some different ideas - Toby Keith tribute, a The Office theme wedding video, the groom/groomsmen coming into the ceremony to Motley Crue, and bridal party flip cup entrance. We decided Rivercrest was our venue before we even got back to our vehicle to leave. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, Bridget was very easy to reach and communicate with! Our 30 day walkthrough was easy and Bridget helped us see our vision come to life. Within the one month leading up to the wedding, Bridget would reach out to give updates and was flexible with any changes in our timeline. She was able to communicate to our vendors and be an advocate for us. Rivercrest has vendors on a recommended (not required list). We got our DJ (DJ Chuck) and caterer (Crossroads Catering and Cafe) off the list which were both fantastic!! Rivercrest has great connections! On wedding day, everything went smoothly!! Her staff helped with getting our older guests food and kept an eye on them throughout. Everything was set up how we visioned! Scott the owner was also helping out! Couldn’t be more thankful to the staff of Rivercrest for making our day so perfect!! All of our guests had only great things to say about the venue. No complaints all around. We also rented 2 of the Airbnb’s which are onsite. Both Airbnb’s were super cute and clean! The Airbnb’s were a great option to have all of our friends stay with us. Bonus with being dog friendly!! Rivercrest allowed us to have a wedding weekend and not just a 5 hour day to spend with our loved ones. We recommend Rivercrest for all couples no matter how far you live! They deserve all the praise and the travel. 100% worth it.”
