Amazing night at rira⠹s!

We had our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at RiRa’s upstairs this past weekend, and it was absolutely wonderful. Tara, RiRa’s Event Manager, was incredibly easy to work with. She was responsive, on top of all the details, and over the top helpful. The food, drinks and service were flawless. We could not recommend RiRa more!

Rebecca and the events team were amazing in the planning and execution of our event. They were very flexible to meet with us and to accommodate every request we had. Every email was replied to promptly and we felt like we were in great hands leading up to the event.

When it came to the event itself, the staff was super helpful and professional. Everything went very smoothly and I never felt like there was anything that we needed to request or attend to. Overall, I would suggest this venue to anyone for their reception.

Such an amazing place to have a wedding reception! Especially for couples who are not having a huge wedding, the layout of the upstairs room makes it feel full and alive all the time. The food is absolutely wonderful, the service was amazing and our only complaint was that their was more AC. They were very easy to work with and helped with everything!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
