Great View, Great People, Best Wedding
The Riverview location, staff and environment was the best decision we could have made for our wedding. From the second we stepped into the lobby on our first visit. To entering the day before for the rehearsal Meghan, Kayla, and staff were kind and helpful the entire time! The Riverview stole our hearts as the first venue we looked at and after only looking at one other place we knew we were already set. Having two attendants and the coordinator the day of the wedding made us feel like we were taken care of, and not looking or asking for anything the whole night. Our guests are continuing to rave about the food, views, and attentiveness of the staff still. We cannot thank the Riverview enough!
Perfect Day at The Riverview
Our experience with The Riverview was incredible from start to finish. The process of booking included a detailed tour of the venue and a thorough review of the terms and conditions at a meeting to sign the contract, leaving us confident that we fully understood what we were agreeing to. Our tasting event was a wonderful chance to see the team in action and make some decisions about our own menu based on what we did and didn’t like. We worked with Kayla and Meghan as our coordinators, both of whom were a pleasure to work with and extremely responsive throughout the planning process. We were able to take advantage of their expertise based on experiences with past weddings but still had the flexibility to customize the details of the day so that it didn’t feel like a “cookie-cutter” event. And the physical space is truly beautiful! Our planning experience was wonderful, but the experience with the venue and team on the day of our wedding was exceptional. Meghan’s positive but firm leadership kept things moving smoothly and between her and our attendants, Cam and Felicia, every detail was attended to! They were prepared for everything, even wardrobe malfunctions, makeup mishaps, and last-minute requests. We did quite a bit of DIY planning and customizing, but on the day of, we did not need to lift a finger! We were especially impressed the the special attention paid to our priorities. My husband and I were excited about our menu and prioritized food during our planning meetings. At our wedding, the venue made sure we had plenty of opportunity to eat, but the excitement of the day took away our appetite. The Riverview team packed up all of the food we couldn’t eat and sent us home with our leftovers (plus some!) so that we still got to enjoy our meal! Another item worth noting is that although two weddings took place that night, we never would have known it! We could not hear the other wedding in our ballroom and never encountered the other group during the entire time we were on site! In short, planning our wedding at The Riverview was an amazing experience, and the wedding day itself was even better! I’d encourage anyone to book!

The Riverview was an absolutely fantastic venue for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was fast, organized, and incredibly helpful - they were always there to assist whenever we needed anything. The quality of their work and attention to detail was truly breathtaking, creating an elegant and timeless setting for our special day. They even went above and beyond to make sure our bridal party was well-fed and taken care of. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and stress-free wedding experience. Highly recommend The Riverview to any couple looking for an exceptional venue.
Perfect Wedding Venue
The Riverview took care of our every need. Kayla was so great to work with she was great with communication and always had the answers to our questions. Our day went perfectly thanks to the amazing staff at the Riverview. Our guests loved the service, food, cake, and Italian cookies. The cookies especially were such a hit! I would choose the Riverview as our venue a million times over!
