Awarded Best of Zola
Karen and Abigail were a pleasure to work with. The venue comes with tables and chairs and they make it super easy to rent signs/decor items from so you don’t need to worry about those small extra details. All around the entire place is gorgeous from the groom/bridal suite to the front entrance, reception and cocktail area, and the vineyard. The views were incredible and it was 100% worth it especially with how beautiful our pictures have turned out so far. I will say I felt they were a little busy as my wedding was Saturday and they also had weddings on Sunday and Friday. For this reason I felt a little rushed towards the end, but all in all I would have my wedding here 10 out of 10 times if I were to do it over again!

From our first conversation with the team at Riverwood Manor by Wedgewood Weddings, we knew we were in good hands. The staff was thorough and kind throughout the planning process, responding quickly to every question and detail we had. On our wedding day, they didn't miss a beat—the food and drinks were excellent, the music was perfect, and the ambience felt thoughtfully designed just for us. They had our signature cocktails ready the moment Chase and I finished signing our certificate, and the beautiful space with its large room and elegant decorations made everything feel special. Our guests had a blast, and honestly, so did we. We can't thank the Riverwood Manor team enough for making our day exactly what we dreamed it would be.
