My wife and I were intent on having a unique wedding. We wanted something outdoorsy, and within a 200 mile radius of Detroit. We were also intent on finding a venue that would let us do things the way we wanted. So often, you see that the best venues make you use their caterer, place restrictions on how long the bar can be open, etc, and we wanted to avoid that to make sure we could throw the best party possible. We scoured the internet, and found virtually no options that met these criteria.

When we came upon RR's website, we were obviously impressed by the pictures. However, we always assume that pictures are deceiving. So, when we visited the venue for the first time, we were astounded. Seriously, this is the most beautiful place you can imagine. The precision and care that went into the design of RR is mind blowing. Every detail is perfect - it's like Disney.
John, the owner, was absolutely wonderful to work with. He let us do whatever we wanted, and provided tons of support in terms of pulling everything together. We had our set up at 10am, started the cocktail hour at 3pm, and didn't have to be out of the venue until midnight. How often can you find a wedding venue where the party is 9 hours long? And, since we were allowed to bring in our own bar and our own caterer, we were able to save thousands when compared to other venues. I've read other reviews online saying that RR is expensive. These reviewers are *insane*. You couldn't possibly find a venue as beautiful as this and spend less money. In the end, the comments from the guests ranged from "How the hell did you find this place?" to "This can't be real". Our goal was to wow people, and RR made that possible.
Moral of the story: Having your wedding at Riverside Receptions will be the best decision you ever make. Just visit the venue, and you'll understand why.

Still being acclaimed by friends and family.
Riverside Receptions was amazing. The scenery was beautiful and provided a perfect place to take pictures and to party. John was a responsive host, my wife and I visited the venue at least 4 times beforehand to look at things, all it took was a text message to him. Everything went according to schedule.

Beautiful, magical, and elegant space for a wedding! My husband and I love officiating weddings here. The landscaping is amazing!
Riverside Receptions in Centerville was, by far, the most beautiful outdoor venue I have ever had the privilege of photographing. Their gardens, with waterfalls next to a gently flowing river created a heavenly atmosphere perfect for the wedding I was hired for. I really hope that I can work the venue again this coming summer.
Riverside was a dream location for a wedding we photographed earlier this month. The staff were friendly and the grounds were absolutely pristine. Riverside even went as far as to track us down through our bride when they found one of our memory cards in their parking lot after the event. I will be recommending Riverside to potential brides looking for a venue in our area.
