And it was the best decision we made for our already stressful wedding planning process. Verside, we decided it would be best to move our wedding closer to home. We are very happy and loved working with this venue! Read More We understand that things happen and there will always be something. Overall, we definitely recommend Riverside as a wedding venue. Our wedding planner had to fight a bit with the bar staff to get the bars moved into the reception area, which was discussed prior. Thankfully it was some one the back and not family tables. We had made our tables assignments based on a chart provided by the venue, and some of the tables were mixed up. We found out it was a safety issue, and the staff quickly acclimated and hors doeurves were still passed. We had our cocktail hour in the hall outside the ball room, and the ballroom doors were opened before they were supposed to. We were supposed to have ranch and pesto boats on the tables for dinner, which were missed. We also got a bridal suite for free the night of the wedding, the venue drove us away on a golf cart for our grand exit, and they communicated well with our other venues. The look of the venue - the ceremony and reception spaces were beautiful and Riverside had tons of décor we could use. Venue Personnel - The ladies we worked with, Kelly and Shaundria were AWESOME! They made the planning process so smooth, and did so much extra stuff for us (such as printing bar menus and creating name cards).

Everything in the same place - no travel decreased cost for us, we didn't have to worry about people drinking & driving, and there was on site food and fun (casino, pool) for guests Hotel rooms for out of town guests - nice rooms, most guests get early check in, hotel block with discounted rate. Ck and the reception was in the ball room.
