“I had a truly amazing wedding experience at the Riverhouse! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding venue. The staff was so accommodating and wonderful to work with. We had a day of coordinator and a wedding attendant and they were attentive to all our needs on wedding day. The flow of the day was seamless, food was out on time. There were never long lines at the bar. Guests were very happy, I received nothing but positive reviews about the venue and the food from my guests. The cake was included in the package and was amazing. The river house wedding package is hard to beat!”
