From the very first moment i stepped foot in riverview room i knew it would be the place that we would get married. I greeted by Isaac and we instantly fell in love with not only the venue itself, but the knowledgeable, fun, and kind staff! My mom and I canceled the rest of our venue appointments after our tour, if that tells any brides (especially destination) how amazing my first impression was. I knew being a destination bride was going to be difficult, but i was overwhelmed by how easy everyone at Riverview room made it for me. From the sweet card and candle i got in the mail after choosing Riverview Room, to the morning after the wedding retrieving our stuff from the venue, EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT(and easy.) The food tastings that they host serve and display some of their most popular menu items (but i can’t imagine there being a bad thing on the menu!) if you can make it to one of those i highly recommend it (if you can’t.. make sure you choose the corn and crab bisque and lamb pops - our guests are STILL talking about those.) Mandy made everything so incredibly easy. She was patient with all my questions, she was always willing to offer a helpful suggestion, and she was just over all incredible. Our ceremony was supposed to start at 6 o’clock and right at 5:50 it started raining and all of our guests came in. She came to me and asked me what i wanted to do because i knew that the backup plan was to have it inside. She knew that i wanted it outside so i asked her if we could hold off until 6:15 and if it hadn’t stopped raining then we would move it inside.... and asked if we could open the bar :) well she made it happen! Opened the bar and she notified our guests that the wedding would proceed at 6:15! When i tell y’all these folks are there for the bride and groom, THEY ARE THERE FOR THE BRIDE AND GROOM!!! They are amazing! They had attendants for us and attendants for our parents and we never had an empty drink in our hand. My mother in law has not stopped telling people about it! I honestly could go on and on and on about how amazing our wedding was all thanks to Mandy, Isaac, and the staff at Riverview room!!

Best Decision we made for our wedding was using the Riverview Room as our wedding reception venue!! Mary and her team were absolutely brilliant and helped make Sept 14, 2013 the best night of our lives!

The Food- AMAZING: it was abundant, always replenished, served hot with such rich robust flavors and quality. The variety was outstanding

The View- AMAZING: Surrounded by the Mississippi River, the St Louis Cathedral and in the heart of the French Quarter- you can see it all with the panoramic balconies and large open wide windows that surround the venue. No one can beat this

The Space: AMAZING: nice dance floor, clean carpet, nice china and glasses, unique layout with plenty of room both inside and out!

The Open Bar: AMAZING: enough said!!! All guests were so delighted!

The Value: AMAZING: all inclusive of appetizers, food, open bars, personal attendants, linens, tables, chairs, cake cutting, the list goes on and on! Value CANNOT be beat by ANY vendor in the French Quarter- Trust me I looked!!

Mary: AMAZING: this woman knows everything there is to know about coordinating your event. She offers amazing advice, is easily reachable at any time and was there from start to absolute finish on the big day. An absolute breath of fresh air to work with compared to many other vendors around town!!! Her team is hands down amazing as well!!!

In short, book at Riverview Room and your wedding will be AMAZING :)

I can't say enough about the Riverview Room, Mary and her staff. What an absolute perfect venue for a day so special. From day 1 of planning, I felt like I was in good hands. Mary is trustworthy, flexible, helpful and straightforward. She helps with vision, decision making and so much more. The Riverview Room itself is incredible. The decor and architecture is beautiful without any additional decorations. Our guests RAVED about the food. They are still talking about it! And the rooftop view on the terrace made our ceremony so magical! And for the out-of-town guests, it was such a neat New Orleans experience. If you are questioning whether to book your ceremony/reception here....stop. If you book this second, you won't regret it!
