A Dream Come True

My husband and I are so happy we chose Rio Plaza for our wedding venue. There were other places that would have worked for us but the large windows overlooking the Riverwalk from the Grande Vista helped to top them all for our reception and having our ceremony on their rooftop was everything we hoped for. Christine Blankenship was always welcoming and responded in a timely, friendly, and professional manner during our planning process and always made us feel like she understood that even though she does this multiple times a week that this was going to be our one and only wedding. We really appreciated her patience and grace while we were planning and had multiple questions, sometimes the same question a few times; a blessing to a nervous bride-to-be. The set up for our ceremony area was exactly how we envisioned it as well as the reception room which was set up beautifully; Christine worked wonderfully and professionally with our vendors. During our reception, Christine, Kimberly and the rest of the Rio Plaza staff were friendly to our guests, assisting, directing and checking on us to make sure we had our deliciously made food which was also catered by Rio Plaza, and drinks throughout the evening. We are so thankful for them because it really does fly by. Thank you Rio Plaza, Christine and all the staff members that worked to make our wedding day extra special. My husband is still getting messages and comments from friends and family that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to.

Amazing Venue and Staff

Kimberly went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect! The hiccups that were thrown into our plan because of the pandemic were seamlessly resolved to make sure we had everything we envisioned.

We've had the pleasure of creating stunning one of a kind invitations for several brides using this facility for their rehearsal dinner. We have heard nothing but kind words about them...I would recommend calling them sooner than later to tour the grounds before your special day is all booked up!
