“We had the BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES! The River View team is very hands on. From the start, they are awesome and go above and beyond to be so organized and so quick at responding to our questions, before we signed our contract and afterwards. Their open house will always be special: we found almost all of our vendors at their open house, and all of them were truly wonderful to work with!! (Check with them when their next one will be). All of our vendors were amazing and we're not just saying that. They also have a list of preferred vendors where we found the remaining vendors, and so many of them were professional and great, but sweet and kind on top of that, that we felt like we were working with friends on our wedding day. On the day of, we were able to be fully present and not worry about the details, which was so appreciated. We ended up going with the Hospitality Suite and the Scalehouse addition to our package. addition to our package. It was a great move because it was so well stocked with drinks and foods! and all the food arrived for lunch was delish and delivered so promptly! It makes it easy to get read on the venue's site rather than a hotel or other location and have to uber / drive to the venue. And the venue itself is stunning. We timed it right and had our ceremony right at golden hour/sunset, so as we were saying our vows, guests told us they saw the sun twinkling on the river and between the trees, which made for an extra beautiful sight.”

“I grew up on a farm and really appreciated this setting. The owner is a master gardener and it shows, there are beautiful flowering trees, bushes and sunflowers that accent the outdoors. Some wedding guests had children and got to feed the livestock during the reception. They had baby goats, an alpaca and a donkey to mingle with. We had our wedding offsite and brought the reception here; if I had the opportunity to do it over I would have the wedding ceremony at their lakefront, it is beautiful and on peaceful lakefront”

“From our first conversation, the team at Celebration Manor made us feel like we were their only clients. They stayed in constant contact, checked in regularly, and followed through on every detail without us having to ask twice. The venue itself is clean and spacious, and having our ceremony at the water's edge was absolutely perfect for us. When our florist fell short on the arrangements, the owners stepped in and created our boutonnieres and table flowers from their own garden—one of them is a former florist and their work was beautiful. We loved Celebration Manor so much that my brother has already booked his wedding there too. If you're looking for a venue with genuine people who truly care about making your day special, this is the place.”
