My fiance and I attended a friend's wedding at The Vineyard at Riverbend Chapel; we were so captivated by the venue, amenities and services that we have set our date and being married and having our reception at the Vineyard! The beauty, service and value would be difficult to match elsewhere

The Vineyard at Riverbend was totally perfect for our winter wedding! Tonya and Toni went above and beyond to make our day so special. From the rehearsal to the catering everything went smoothly! You can trust them with anything and everything! The catered to all our requests and were very flexible! The indoor ceremony space feels intimate and romantic while the reception area is decorated perfectly.. Everyone asked how we found the place because they were so impressed! I would recommend to anyone!

You have such a beautiful venue and great staff. Terry was wonderful to work with. Wish we could do it again!

As a planner myself, chicken is always a tricky entree and moisture from preparation to table is always a concern. Please relay to your caterer that they did a wonderful job in keeping the chicken moist. The vegan meal was much appreciated and we really appreciate you making sure Josh, the groom, didn't have mushrooms on his entree.

My recommendation on your preferred florist would be that you offer more than one recommendation. Upon meeting with them, I don't feel they were prepared for the consult or had appropriate photos to share with clients. As a professional, I would expect them to have visual options and not ask the client to share what they are looking for, but instead provide visuals from which to then build from.

We were disappointed that the honeymoon suite had water damage, and appreciate you providing transportation to the bed and breakfast we decided to stay at.

I will definitely recommend your facility to others, and really like that you donate any additional monies above the cost of operation and upkeep to Christian organizations. This made the event even more special knowing this!

I hope to send photos your way very soon. If you would like to visit my photographers website let me know and I will forward the link.

Warm Regards, Jennifer and Josh Cain
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Vineyard at Riverbend Chapel offers the perfect setting for weddings and receptions. The outdoor wedding location sits on the bluff of the Missouri River with a breathtaking scenic view of the surrounding area. No need to worry about a back up plan for your outdoor wedding due to inclement weather for there is a gorgeous and charming chapel that seats over 250 people. The reception hall is simply cozy and elegant. The staff will ensure that you have no worries on your special day! This is by far one of our favorite places for wedding photography and videography. It has been an absolute joy working with Toni Backs and the staff at The Vineyard at Riverbend Chapel. It is a must see or must visit location if you are planning a wedding.
