Wedding of our dreams

Riverside Vines is brand new, and you would never know. We got married in November 2022, it was 70 degrees and beautiful. The lake front ceremony is stunning, your wedding is on a farm yet everything feels very modern. Communication was great throughout the whole process. I had my guests stay at two hotels in Chester, VA so it was only 20 minutes from the venue. Everything was seamless. We also stayed at the farm house on site, that's the way to do it. SO much less stress the morning of your wedding because you're already there. All of my bridesmaids loved the house, it was massive and had everything we needed. Couldn't recommend this venue enough. It's only going to get better each year, I can tell. Thank you RSV!

October Wedding

Riverside Vines is a beautiful venue. You can get away with very minimal decorations because of how beautiful the scenery is. The venue offers its own catering & requires that you purchase a bar package through them. Unfortunately, you cannot schedule a tasting for the catering menu (which is why we ended up choosing an outside caterer), but you do get the opportunity to schedule a wine tasting. Maria is very flexible & easy to work with, but responsiveness to questions was very variable throughout the process. When Maria was out due to unforeseen circumstances, it was hard to get in touch with anyone else from the venue & if we got in touch with someone who wasn't Maria, they often weren't on the same page as what we had previously discussed. The venue cost does include a coordinator who was extremely beneficial. Our coordinator, Leila, was very familiar with the venue and was able to answer all of our questions once we got closer to the big day. She was instrumental in reducing our stress/anxiety about things going smoothly. Robert, the bar manager, who was present for our rehearsal dinner & our wedding day was fabulous. My bridesmaids & I stayed at the chateau the night before the wedding & got ready there that morning which was very convenient. Our wedding day went perfectly & I wouldn't change a thing. Overall, I would recommend Riverside Vines for your upcoming wedding.

Great potential

Newer venue with great potential. Unfortunately many hiccups leading up to our big day that caused a lot of unnecessary stress with the venue and planning team.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
