About this venue
Welcome to The Beach, an indoor/outdoor wedding venue set on a natural sand beach along the Arkansas River.
Just outside of Buena Vista, The Beach offers a relaxed, scenic setting for a full weekend of celebration. With the 14,000-foot Collegiate Peaks as your backdrop, you’ll be surrounded by riverfront views and an inviting beach atmosphere. Hold your ceremony by the water, enjoy cocktail hour on the sand, and move just a few steps into our full-service bar and restaurant for dinner and toasts. End the night watching the sun set behind the mountains, gathering around our fire pits, or celebrating inside on the dance floor.
Weddings at The Beach include all-inclusive packages that take care of most details, from catering to bar services.
We can’t wait to host you.

Absolutely incredible venue. Beautiful riverside location paired with caring staff and great communication. We felt supported every step of the way. Though once in a lifetime, we'd have our big day here a thousand times over. Highest recommendation.

Our Fall wedding reception
Riverside Grill at River Runners is the most beautiful venue in the Arkansas Valley. We have been coming here for years to see music, eat, drink and hang out with friends. To hold our wedding reception here was a dream come true. The professionalism and communication is top notch. The space is comfortable and inviting, and the hosts are very friendly, welcoming and easy to work with. If you’re looking for a venue to hold a wedding or event, book the Riverside Grill at River Runners!! 10/10 highly recommended!!!

Better than expected!
We were hopeful for the perfect wedding day but didn’t expect it to be….but The Beqch turned out to be nearly perfect in every way. The food was out of this world, amazing. The staff and service during the reception was exceptional. Although communication was sometimes delayed leading up to the wedding, we trusted in the process and everything worked out well.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
