November Wedding

We went to do a walk through at the Rivers Club with little idea of what to expect. As soon as we met Ashley and the whole team there we were blown away. From the kind greeting we received to the organization of the club we knew we had found our venue. The lead up to the wedding was easy. Anytime we had questions or something came up, we could easily rely on getting answer from Ashley, Cailin or the team. I was unsure what to expect when I dropped off all the decor for the reception. I showed Ashley and Cailin our vision and they delivered. We had the opportunity to do a walk through of the ballroom before guests entered and my jaw was on the floor the entire time. Not only did they get our vision, they far surpassed anything I could have imagined doing in my own! The day felt so easy for us. After our honeymoon we learned there were a few hiccups that day but Ashley, Cailin and the team handled it and allowed us to truly enjoy our day. I can not recommend them enough!!!

Fantastic experience with Rivers Club

I had my wedding reception at Rivers Club in May. Everything went so perfectly! Cailin and Ashley and their whole team were so attentive on the wedding day and I knew everything was under control. The ballroom was gorgeous and the hearth was perfect for the cocktail hour. I’m so thankful I chose this venue.

Fabulous Rehearsal Dinner

The Rivers Club was amazing for our themed rehearsal dinner.
Cailin was so responsive and easy to work with. The chef and bartender personally met with us to customize menu and drink selections. Everything went off without a hitch! The food and drink were delicious and the service was top notch. We would definitely use the Rivers Club again for any event.

Bride - Wedding Venue

The Rivers Club was an amazing wedding reception mostly thanks to Amanda, the Private Events Director. I was kind of all over the place at the start of planning and she helped to organize all of my ideas and bring them to life the day of the wedding. My goal with a venue was somewhere that took a lot of the planning out of it for me and that's exactly what the Rivers Club did! The food was amazing, the space allowed for an awesome dance party, while also having space for older guests to hang out in the bar area if dancing wasn't their thing. I am so grateful for Amanda for making our wedding day beyond perfect and cannot recommend this venue enough!

Truly Amazing Venue and Great people to Work with

I truly cannot say enough about the Rivers Club for a wedding venue. We had such an amazing experience working with the club and specifically Amanda. We heard about the club through a family member when we first got engaged. We met with Amanda for a tour of the club and venue. We were greeted with a celebratory glass of champagne to celebrate our special occasion. From that first moment we knew the Rivers was where we wanted to get married. We not only were able to have our ceremony there, but we were able to seamlessly flow into our cocktail hour and into the fabulous reception.

Amanda was there every step of the way helping to provide her input and make our dreams come true. She listened to what we envisioned and made it into our reality. Her kindness, flexibility, and creative eye helped to make our wedding be what it was. She stayed after work to allow us to come in and review all of the details and would even reach out if she had an idea. It was awesome to have such a great person to work with and she made it easy. It was a blast and I am so glad we got married here, it was honestly one of the best decisions we made.

Not only did Amanda play a role in our wedding, but Jim Gelzheiser, the executive chef made such a delightful dinner. All we heard about the food was good things from our guests. They have so many options and will work with you on your choices to make sure it is what you want it to be.


I cannot say thank you enough, It was a perfect day, and it will be a memory that will stick with us forever! Thank you :)

The Rivers Club is an absolutely amazing venue. My mother and I went venue hopping one weekend in Pittsburgh since I was living out of town. We visited around 8 places and were not finding anything that we liked and we were losing hope. I felt that I didn't have too strict of a criteria. I basically did not want pillars in the room (so that everyone could see what was going on), did not want to have to do much to make the room look nice, and wanted a great coordinator. I was told that when you find the place, you'll just know. I didn't believe that, but when I walked into the Rivers Club, I couldn't believe my eyes. The place is amazing in aesthetics and you don't have to do anything more to make the place look nice. There were no pillars in the main room. The wedding coordinators are incredible, attentive, and listen to the bride and groom. They will coordinate with you for whatever you want. I had no doubts that the day would go smoothly. The food is excellent. I was so excited for the appetizers and my meal. The staff is joyful and makes you feel good about everything. The Rivers Club exceeded expectations and made my wedding day amazing. I had no worries about the day and wish I could have another wedding there because of how amazing the people and this place are. My mother and I could not stop talking about the place before and after. We received numerous compliments from the guests about how great the venue was and that they couldn't believe that we found such an amazing place. Thank you Rivers Club and thank you Michele.

The Rivers Club is a wonderful place for a wedding reception. We looked at approximately 10 places for my daughter’s reception. The Rivers Club was the last place we had on our schedule to view. The space had recently experienced a renovation. It was bright and modern with plenty of space. Upon exiting the elevator there is an area where we had a photo guest book, the card/gift table and large oversized games supplied by the Rivers Club for guests. The cocktail hour had its own space with tables and chairs plus a player piano playing as guests enjoyed drinks and hor’dourves. The reception room had plenty of space for guests to mingle and dance. Working with Michele made planning the wedding easy. Her experience and expertise kept us calm throughout the process. Michele answered all of our questions and cried right beside us during the tender moments of the reception. The wait staff was wonderful and experienced. Guests commented on the great personalities of their servers. So many people told us that it was a beautiful venue and I would have to agree. I encourage everyone to check out the Rivers Club for their next event.

I just had my reception at the Rivers Club. I dealt with Michele , one of the planners. She was amazing to work with. Very accommodating, responsive and knowledgeable. The venue has been remodeled and it's simply beautiful inside. The staff the night of the reception was top notch and the food was to die for. I had guests tell me it was the best wedding meal they ever had. Unbelievable. When I priced out other venues , the Rivers Club was reasonably priced and what I loved is you paid per guest , alcohol was included in the cost. From beginning to end the experience was delightful. Book at the Rivers Club ! You will not be disappointed!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
