The views of the water and city skyline provided the perfect backdrop for some truly breathtaking photos. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, or private celebration, this venue offers endless opportunities for capturing beautiful memories. The staff at the Roostertail are nothing short of amazing. They always go above and beyond to make every event flawless, always greeting guest with a smile and ensuring every detail is taken care of. And let me tell you about the food—it was out of this world! Every dish was expertly prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. From appetizers to the main course and dessert, the flavors were divine and left our guests raving long after the event. If you’re looking for a venue that combines scenic beauty, exceptional service, and incredible cuisine, the Roostertail is the place to go!

    Roostertail was an exceptional wedding venue that exceeded our expectations. Their communication throughout the planning process was honest, fast, and professional, making the logistics seamless. The quality of their work and overall value was clean, timely, and orderly - the schedule was strict and easy to follow, and they catered to not only the bride and groom, but our guests as well. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special day.

    If you’re looking for the most amazing venue for your wedding, we emphatically and highly recommend the Roostertail! We had our wedding 8.30.24 at the Roostertail, and it was the most amazing experience! Every detail was taken care of by the staff. Shawna, our coordinator from the Roostertail, was so exceptional to work with. I didn’t have to worry about anything. I had literally more than a dozen people tell me it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Not to mention that the setting is beautiful, with gorgeous views of the water.

    If you're thinking of having your wedding/reception at the Roostertail...do it! My husband and I got married there in May and it was absolutely perfect. The staff was so organized, welcoming, and helpful, and they made the planning process easy for us from start to finish. One huge perk about this venue is that their packages include everything (food, drinks, chairs, linens, etc.) and they even had a boxwood wall for rent that provided some great photo ops. Views of the river from the ceremony and reception (Palm River Room and deck) were gorgeous and look beautiful in our photos. Many of our guests also commented that the food was delicious. We want to give a huge shout out to Nicole for being an MVP on our big day! She made sure everything ran smoothly and worked side-by-side with our day of wedding planner to ensure our wedding day was just how we envisioned. I can't say enough good things about the Roostertail!
