Beautiful Venue!

I recently worked a wedding at River Landing as a vendor (live painter) and loved it! I have also been there for an expo and am so amazed by how many great options they have for every kind of couple. I found the staff to be wonderful and easy to work with and definitely hope to return! All the guests and the couple were so happy at the end of the night, and as a worker it just felt easy! Which is not always the case!
