Best day of our lives!

We have big families and not only needed space but we wanted it to look amazing as well when seating 300 people! Celebrations was very organized, transparent, and collaborative when working with us. We live 1 hour away so our scheduled meetings were able to be done over zoom. When doing taste testing, they have scheduled nights where you can taste the food and design your own decorations exactly how you want it; very hands on! Kayla, the programer we worked with, was very supportive, answered all of my questions and was nothing but on top of things. Everyone has shared with us how fun and amazing the night was and it wouldn’t have been without Celebrations and Kayla! I wouldn’t have changed a single thing!

What An Amazing Wedding Day

Our wedding at Celebrations on the River was absolutely amazing! First, they made the planning process so easy. The tasting and decor sampling day was a fun experience that made us feel comfortable that our day would include everything we could ever want. Then, working with Kayla during meetings on our “wedding bible” made us feel confident that no detail would be missed. Finally, our actual wedding day was what we hoped for and so much more. First, my girls and I got ready in their beautiful bridal suite. The hair and makeup artists were so impressed with the set up. The groom and his guys were able to play poker in their suite while waiting to get dressed. Then, our reception went so perfectly thanks to the team. Kayla kept everything on track and the bartenders kept the drinks flowing. The food received rave reviews by all our guests. The space was even more beautifully decorated than I could have hoped for. It was the perfect day. If you are looking for an amazing wedding venue, I highly recommend Celebrations on the River.

Best Day Ever

The day was absolutely perfect. From the weather to the last dance of the night. Celebrations knocked it outta the park and made my dream come true. Above and beyond our expectations. Food was good, bridal suite was amazing but ac wasn't working in the suite and it was 86 degrees outside and trying to get ready was a challenge. Tye ac wasn't able to get it fixed that day but it wasn't there fault. We did the best we could. The service, the decorations, the bartenders, the wedding planner, the DJ, the cupcakes and cake, the appetizers, the late night snack, the groom suite, the atmosphere. It was all perfectly put together. They are amazing people to work with and I highly recommend Celebrations on the River for your wedding venue and ceremony.

If I could choose my wedding venue again, I'd pick Celebrations on the River!!

As a September 2026 bride, one thing I’ve learned during wedding planning is that choosing a venue that helps with everything is worth more than you realize. I originally chose a beautiful venue… but that’s basically all I got, a venue. After that I had to find everything else: hair stylist, makeup artist, DJ, caterer, cake, cupcakes, decorations, a wedding planner… the list goes on. Planning a wedding this way has been a lot of work and honestly pretty stressful. You see all these TikTok videos that make planning your own wedding look so easy, DIY decorations, budget hacks, and weddings planned for super cheap. It looks great online, but when you actually start planning, you realize how many vendors you need to coordinate and how easy it is to forget things.
Looking back now, I truly wish I had chosen Celebrations On The River. I originally looked at Celebrations On The River because the venue is absolutely beautiful, and even just walking through the space during the tour, you can tell that they have weddings down to a science and truly know how to take care of couples. At first the price made me a little nervous because I thought I could plan my own wedding for less. But once you start adding up vendors, decorations, food, and everything else, you realize it adds up quickly anyway.
One thing I didn’t fully think about when choosing my venue was setup and cleanup. At my current venue, my family and I will actually be setting everything up the morning of my wedding and cleaning up our space that same night. If we want extra time to set up the day before or tear down the next day, it costs extra. It’s definitely something I didn’t realize would add more stress to the day. Knowing that Celebrations On The River takes care of those kinds of details for you honestly sounds like a dream come true for a wedding morning.
What makes Celebrations On The River so amazing is that they handle so much of the planning for you, such as food, decorations, coordination, and making sure the whole day runs smoothly. Having professionals take care of those details so you can actually enjoy your wedding day would be priceless. Don’t get me wrong, I love my venue and how it looks, but the amount of time spent researching vendors, making phone calls, and organizing everything has definitely been overwhelming at times.
If I could go back and choose again, I would 100% go with Celebrations On The River without hesitation. Future brides and grooms will thank themselves for choosing a place that helps make the planning process easier. If you’re debating between planning everything yourself or choosing a venue that helps with it all, trust me, the peace of mind is worth it.

Our dream day came to life thanks to all the staff

Kayla and Heather helped my dream wedding come to life! From the first meeting with Kayla to the end of the wedding night the staff at Celebrations was amazing. So responsive, nice, and I could tell they wanted to help make our day special for us.
They never compared our special day to anyone else. They have everything in house for decorations which made setting up and take down stress free for us and our wedding party. The place was magical.
Kayla was always so responsive and I knew I would hear back from her within a day to any questions I had.
The bar staff was amazing! So quick making drinks and extremely nice! The food was amazing! You would never guess that it was made it a big batch to feed 290 people! The food was seasoned well and hot! Several people have raves about the food!

10/10 would recommend Celebrations for any special occasion! My husband and I were blown away with everything.

Beautiful Venue Excellent Service

We had the most perfect wedding at Celebrations on the River. We are most definitely bias, but the venue and staff made it amazing. We booked Center Court with Kayla. The venue very comfortably hosted 250 guests & Kayla was amazing to work with. Being able to rent their decorations and not having to buy our own, set them up, or tear them down was a large reason why we booked. After the wedding we are so happy we didn’t have that hassle, so worth it!

Celebrations !

Celebrations helped make planning a wedding in 6 months easy. We attended the Wedding Expo and met Sarah and Ann there. We quickly decided this is where we’d like to have our wedding and got to planning. Sarah was fantastic to work with and we have received multiple compliments on how great the venue was!

Best Wedding Ever!

We celebrated our wedding at Celebrations this past weekend and it exceeded all of our expectations to say the least! It was the best day of our lives. All of the staff were super accommodating and did everything they could to make sure our day was as stress-free as possible. Our favorite comment we received was "Can you guys get married every weekend?" trust me, we would if we could.😂 The decor, food, venue, and staff were incredible and I defiantly recommend them for anyone that is getting married. Thank you for helping make our dream wedding come to life!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
