Where do I even begin? Our experience with The Estate at River Run for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding was absolutely exceptional!

First and foremost, the venue itself is simply stunning. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were so captivated: the beautifully manicured gardens, the picturesque views, and the breathtaking architecture created an enchanting atmosphere that set the stage for the entire weekend.

From start to finish, Kim Moody and team went above and beyond to ensure that our special events were nothing short of perfection. The entire team at ERR deserves a standing ovation. They went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, leaving us stress-free and able to fully enjoy our celebrations. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine passion for creating magical experiences were evident in every interaction. From our initial meeting to the final farewell, they were attentive, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. They took the time to understand our vision and seamlessly transformed it into a reality. The level of personalized service we received was truly exceptional. Special shoutout to Abby who entertained our every question and request!

Our wedding weekend was nothing short of magical! The staff worked tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of the day ran smoothly. From coordinating with our vendors to accommodating last-minute requests, they truly went above and beyond to make our dreams come true.

We cannot express our gratitude enough to the entire team at The Estate at River Run. They turned our vision into a reality and created memories that will last a lifetime.

Made My Wedding Dreams Come True

I had the most incredible experience with The Estate at River Run. From the start, I knew I wanted an intimate ceremony that reflected who we are, and this venue delivered that and more. Cameron and Kim took the time to truly understand my vision and walked with me every step of the way, answering questions, calming nerves, and following up on every detail. Their professionalism and genuine care made such a difference.

Special shoutout to my officiant, Sarah Pete—she wasn’t just an officiant, she felt like a part of my bridal party. She helped me with my dress, supported me through photos, and made sure I was comfortable and cared for the entire day. Truly a gem!

I also have to give massive love to Amber of Amkay Photography. I was super particular about my photos, and she went above and beyond. We spent over four hours total on calls and communication to make sure my vision was captured—and she nailed it. Amber is truly next-level and made me feel like her top priority.

I can’t recommend The Estate at River Run and this incredible team enough. They took such pride in making my day special, and I’m forever grateful they were a part of it.
