About

On WeddingWire since 2008

Located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Riverdale Manor offers an idyllic setting for life's most magical events. This beautiful wedding venue sits on six acres of manicured grounds, where couples can exchange vows, take their wedding portraits, or simply sit together and admire views of the Conestoga River. Owners Maureen and John Raezer have fully restored and renovated this property, transforming a historic manor from the 1800s into a serene destination just minutes from downtown Lancaster.

Facilities and Capacity

Couples can begin their forever indoors or al fresco at Riverdale Manor, with several stunning ceremony locations to choose from. From the tranquil indoor-outdoor pavilion to the quietest corners of the grounds, every area on the property has its own distinct charm. Those who wish to host a cocktail hour after their ceremony can gather on The Terrace, a rustic outdoor space with a large stone fireplace. The ballroom inside the manor can accommodate up to 200 guests for a banquet reception, with iron-hanging chandeliers illuminating a couple's way toward the dance floor. Boasting lofty beamed ceilings and expansive windows, this setting is the epitome of sophistication and elegance. There are two private dressing suites on-site for soon-to-be newlyweds to use on their wedding morning.

Services Offered

All couples who host their special day at Riverdale Manor will have support from the in-house coordinator and event assistant throughout their journey to "I do." They will be on hand to assist with all aspects of wedding planning and organization, including designing day-of timelines, choosing seating arrangements, and selecting a reception menu. Catering at the venue is provided exclusively by Thyme and Seasons Catering, one of Lancaster County's premier catering teams. These culinary professionals excel in a huge variety of cuisines and cooking styles, so they are always happy to customize their menus to suit a couple's requirements. The manor's events team will provide essential rental items, such as glassware, china, linens, and flatware, to ensure a seamless and enjoyable dining experience.

Super easy!

We were married at Riverdale Manor this past Fall and it was stunningly beautiful. Based on all of the reviews, we expected the food and service was incredible. But what was most surprising was how easy the planning process was. We planned our wedding long distance and Maureen who was our coordinator was incredibly knowledgeable and also really responsive to all of our emails which made the process super easy. We worked with a lot of their recommended vendors and since they were very familiar with Riverdale Manor they needed little to no direction from us.

The PERFECT Wedding Venue

My husband and I got married at Riverdale at the very end of December 2023. It was the perfect venue for our holiday wedding. We appreciated the staff's communication, attention to detail, and overall kindness to our guests. My husband and I felt at ease throughout the entire planning process; having Thyme and Seasons catering at the venue was so helpful. The food was beyond delicious and everyone left well-fed! Our cake, also from Thyme and Seasons, was so beautiful and tasty. We cannot recommend Riverdale Manor enough! We are so grateful to have found such an amazing venue that made our wedding so magical!

We work at Riverdale Manor more than any other single location. They are consistently on schedule, professional, and great to work with. Working there as much as 30 times a year or more, not only am I not sick of their food, it continues to be delicious time after time. I look forward to each time I am there because I know how good it is going to be.
