“THE PERFECT WEDDING VENUE! It was an absolute pleasure to have had our wedding at Riverway. We have constantly gotten compliments on how nice the venue looked, how great the food was and how amazing the atmosphere felt. The venue itself requires very little decorating because it is so beautiful on its own. Bradley, the Riverway coordinator, worked with us a year in advance to make sure the day went as smoothly as possible and coordinated with our wedding planners at Pearl Collaborations to ensure that we had nothing to worry about on the day of. We could not have asked to have worked with better people and be at a better venue than Riverway :)”
“i wish i could give more than 5 stars. It was such a joy to work so closely with Brad and the Riverway staff. I've been in touch with Brad for the past year and a half and he was always there to recieve my requests and answer everything with warmth and hospitality. I fell in love with the wooden interior. I didn't need much decor as the venue really spoke for itself. We went with their wedding package and it was very convenient to have both the ceremony and buffet option. We went for a menu tasting 4 months before the wedding and we were so impressed with the quality and consistency from the trial to day of (I wish I ate more). We ordered some canapes during cocktail hour and the staff brought us a plate. It's the little things that stood out to me! There was also some kind of toffy dessert that had all my guests obsessed! The parking at this venue is very limited as it is shared with public golf users. Something to be mindful of, since it is technically shared with a public space, you won't have control over who enters the venue (despite a private event sign displayed). One pair came in to return lost sunglasses they found outside (which is nice and fine), but I also saw a group quietly enter through the side door near the bridal suite to use the bathroom - that I wasn't totally fond of. The bridal suite comes with a locked key pad. I wish I did a better job at remembering to close the door when I'm done. The outside door is next to the bridal suite, and the bathrooms are also near the bridal suite. Just something to be mindful of! I loved that the bridal suite had a very large mirror and nice chairs. Great for photo ops! I also loved that I could host a tea ceremony during cocktail hour. Anything we wanted, Brad made it happen so seamlessly and I just wish we could add on an extra 5 hours to the day. Having our wedding at Riverway was a dream. We look forward to looking back on these memories knowing that Brad and Riverway were such a big part of this celebration. Please see pictures for reference!”
“We had a great experience having our wedding at Riverway. The patio was perfect for cocktail hour and the main dining area worked very well for the reception. Being on a golf course, you might see golfers behind the ceremony space in summer, but it didn’t feel distracting and didn’t take away from the ceremony. The sunset views are beautiful and shine through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which our guests loved. The plated dinner was a highlight. The steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare, in spite of the quantity that needed to be prepared, and the chicken with mushroom marsala cream was equally tasty. Portions were satisfying, and desserts like tiramisu and toffee sticky cake were crowd favorites. Dietary restrictions were handled smoothly, and we were well-attended-to during the initial menu tasting. Our signature cocktails, including some custom options, were a big hit with our guests! Bradley was friendly, responsive, and helpful. The Riverway team helped ensure everything on the day-of went off without a hitch. Their attentiveness and thoroughness let us relax and truly enjoy our day. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a smooth, well-organized wedding with a team that really cares!”
“The decor and grounds are amazing! Great views, wonderfully kept flowers and other plants, tall ceilings indoors, and just a really nice space. Went for a dinner and the bread they had was warm, tasty, and fresh. The mains were all delicious from the mashed potatoes and chicken to the pasta and the veggies. The only thing that could have been better were their desserts as they were all premade, prepackaged ones that you could tell were taken out from the fridge as the donuts even had condensation water on the icing. If they had some housemade desserts, it would be even better.”
“Food and atmosphere are great…service is very lacking for a relatively nice place. Have to flag down servers and ask for every little thing. One server put down the plate so violently the little cup of ketchup almost landed in my friend’s lap. Thankfully she caught it but the server didn’t apologize or anything”
