We had our wedding reception at River City and it surpassed our every expectation. People still come up to us and tell us we had the best wedding they have ever attended. Megan and Christina were both amazing. So organized, helpful, kind and enthusastic. They always went the extra mile when we had a request or question to help us find answers and make it happen. We having nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience with them. We even got to do our food tasting twice because there was a new chef and they wanted to make sure he cooked everything the same as we had agreed upon before. We literally had minimal things to stress about they took care of everything. The reception was decorated exactly how we wanted and absolutely stunning. The whole staff at River City did an amazing job taking care of us and all of our guests and everything ran smoothly. We had the most perfect day and my husband and I recommend River City to every engaged couple we know and talk to! You will not be disappointed!

For the quality and uniqueness of the venue, the pricing was very reasonable. We couldn't have asked for a better space or a more dedicated owner to host our special day.

We were thrilled with our wedding day at Grbic! Lejla and the whole team made sure that our special day went smoothly and exceeded our expectations. The event staff took special care to make sure my husband and I had what we needed (we even got to eat!) and the bartenders…whew. They were phenomenal. They even brought shots out to the dance floor. Everyone had a great time and they played a big role in that. The food was absolutely incredible. We were able to use the main event space for the ceremony and then moved to the restaurant space for the cocktail hour while the team flipped the main space for the reception. Everything was executed flawlessly. They even let us stay for two extra songs at the end of the night. Our guests had a fantastic time, and so did we. Thank you Grbic!!
