About this venue
This traditional colonial building was built in 1926 and known as the Riverside Mormon Church. The Junior League of Jacksonville purchased the building in 1979 and by 1980, we opened our facilities to the community and its many organizations. The Riverside House offers its board room, auditorium, reception hall and kitchen to the public. It is the perfect setting for wedding ceremonies and receptions and provides a beautiful atmosphere for any celebration.

The Best venue!
The Riverside house was not only gorgeous, but everyone there was so amazing and welcoming and it truly was the best spot to have our wedding! Ashley was so kind from the beginning all the way to the end! Anytime I had a question, she had an answer! I felt so comfortable and they made sure our wedding day ran smooth and that we were comfortable and happy with how everything was going. Truly, it is a beautiful venue and I would recommend them to anyone still needing to find a venue!
I couldn’t have asked for a better venue!
The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and the staff made everything so easy! It was the perfect venue for our little wedding and I’m so glad we chose the Riverside House!
