Dream Venue on the Occoquan River
River View offers the intimacy for a private wedding, while easily accommodating 150-200 guests, and provides the perfect backdrop of the Occoquan river for any outdoor ceremony/event. We were so impressed by the food, the service, and the overall experience provided by the team!
Despite the logistical challenges of planning a Virginia wedding from the West Coast (we live in Los Angeles), it was a smooth process working with the River View team. We were very impressed with the responsiveness and high touch support we received from Hannah, Ashley, and the River View staff along the way. They were easy to communicate with and super accessible throughout the planning process and the final weeks leading up to our wedding day, which made the whole experience very enjoyable.
Day-of-wedding execution was seamless, with only a few hiccups that none of our guests were aware of (firepits were not turned on and wine table service was limited). Otherwise, we were very happy with the way our wedding turned out - guests were very pleased with the food catered by the Great Blue Heron team and everyone loved the venue (especially the scenic drive up to the venue )!
Thank you to the entire River View team for making our dream wedding a reality! We will definitely recommend River View to friends and family looking for a wedding venue or event space in the future!
Beautiful venue!
