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!

Look no further for the perfect venue!!

We had our wedding at Celebrations this past weekend at the River Park venue. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. There are planning meetings throughout the process and Ann was AMAZING at making my vision for the day come to life. We received so many compliments from our guests on how gorgeous the venue was. Throughout the night people commented on how delicious the food was, and the attentiveness of the staff. We chose one of the VIP packages and it was truly worth every penny. All the vendor options are vetted by the venue and were awesome. Many guests commented that it was the best wedding they have ever attended. If you are looking for a venue look no further! The entire Celebrations staff will make sure your wedding is picture perfect!!

My Dream Wedding

I cannot say enough about Celebrations on the River. This venue, and staff, played a major role in making my wedding day as perfect as it was. From the options they offered, to regular check-ins, to customer service; this place does it all! Ann and her team are absolutely amazing and so attentive! They truly care about each of their brides/grooms and strive to make each moment magical. Any time I had any questions or hesitations, they were there for me. They made sure that day of, I felt comfortable and relaxed knowing they had every detail covered. The venue itself is so versetile with outdoor and indoor options, waterfront views, spectacular interior design, and both bride and groom suites. I had so many of my guests tell me that our wedding was the best they have been to, and I owe it to the Celebration's team. If you are looking for a hassle-free and relaxed wedding planning process, use this vendor, you won't be disappointed :)
