Reviews of Donaldson Brown Riverfront Event Center
May Wedding with Blooming Wisteria and Incredible Views
The day of the wedding, we had access to the many (large) bedrooms on the second floor where we had all morning to get ready, as did the men. This was so convenient. There was also the option to stay over night and have breakfast in the morning. We did not do that.
I was so fortunate to have Sue there on the day of the wedding as she helped organize, coordinate, and answer any questions. There was a hard time of 10pm that we needed to close down the wedding, but the Casino is right down the road and many guests went there afterward.
This venue was so amazing and I would highly recommend it!
