River Rock Event Center Reviews

Absolutely PERFECT place for our wedding reception! It was a beautiful venue and everyone there was just a pleasure to work with! They helped make my day perfect!!!!

River Rock Event Center was the venue for my son's rehearsal dinner, a Texas-themed barbeque dinner. The event center is beautiful - both inside and outside. Susie and her staff were attentive to all the details and made sure the evening ran smoothly. They were very professional and accommodating to some last minute changes. Our guests could not stop talking about the venue and how awesome it was! Thanks RREC for a memorable evening!

I could not ask for better service or a more elegant location to have a special event. From the moment I walked into River Rock, the staff made me and my husband feel at ease and their professionalism made us feel that our event was in good hands. The staff was always ready to answer our questions and helped us work through details that we had not even thought of. The staff was patient and incredibly understanding. I would not hesitate to re-book any future event with them and will highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a place to hold their special occasion.

Maggie and her staff did an excellent job with the preparations for my daughters wedding. Everything was beautiful. I couldn't have asked for more.

Maggie, I just do not know how we could ever thank you and your mom for making Grant and Natasha wedding day so amazing! You all are awesome! It was every brides dream thanks to you!!!

I have hosted many parties and Susie Richardson and her staff made this one of the less stressful and perfect parties ever. Highly recommend this venue

if you want a place with beautiful surroundings and professional help, go no further. All the guests at my husband's surprise party were in awe at how lovely the dining room was decorated. The wait staff was very efficient and helpful.

River Rock Event Center provides a beautiful venue with a texas-tuscan feel, perfect for any event with multiple rooms with a great flow and fabulous outdoor spaces. We had a baby shower there, the tables were decorated adorably with antique baby items, the food and service was excellent and they had the fireplace going which was wonderful after lunch to sit around and open up baby gifts. The beauty and serenity of the location with all the deer as you drive in through the field approaching the venue is so picturesque. Susie, Janis and the whole family will make you feel like family. No one wanted to leave. In fact, we rented the two cottages for the weekend, and made it a family reunion.

My twin sister and I celebrated our milestone birthday at the River Rock. It was so perfect we are still aglow when we think about our celebration. Susie Richardson deserves kudos for offering ideas to capitalize on the style of the venue, organizing the flow of the event (welcome table, happy hour, dinner, entertainment and dancing).and arranging the space to be used. It was a beautiful setting, plenty of space for our Mariachi group to focus on all of our guests, a dance floor to shout about and a move to the patio for a Happy Birthday chorus with sparklers. You had to have been there!

Successful parties do not happen on there own. The staff aptly cleared place settings without disruption while preparing the dessert table. The DJ was able to plug into the Center's sound system; the bar was staffed the entire evening. All staff were helpful and courteous. Again, thank you Susie for being with us from our first visit to the end of the event. You are the best!

Book your wedding here! It's a must! I don't ever take the time to write reviews; as this is my first review EVER, but I felt this was very much needed. Suzie, Maggie and the rest of the clan made our wedding PERFECT. They are an extremely helpful and hardworking family. They will go out of their way to make things happen. I couldn't have asked for a better place to have our wedding. I promise you will not be dissapointed if you book this venue. Not only is it a gorgeous place to have a wedding but everyone there is easy to work with and the sweetest people to be around.

This is a lovely venue in a quiet setting in Fair Oaks Ranch. We had our daughter's bridal brunch here before her wedding. It was wonderful. The food was excellent and the service outstanding. We are trying to think of something we can celebrate here again soon!

Beautiful facility!! Highly recommend it!! Great for dance, wedding or shower. Friendly staff, easy to work with and very helpful!

The event center is beautiful, and Susie and her family were very attentive to our needs and requests. We had an AMAZING time, and will definitely plan other events here.

The April meeting of the Fair Oaks Ranch Women's Club was wonderful. Susie and family went over the top to make sure that everything was very special. The setting was just perfect for our needs. The banquet room is adaptable for a wedding, anniversary, family reunion, celebration, or corporate event. Joyce Horst, Past President, FORWC.

This place was absolutely beautiful. We had almost not decorations because the venue was to beautiful to mess with. If you look at this venue it will speak for itself. Tons of options for ceremony inside and out. Large gorgeous receptions area with fire place. And the coordinator with the venue was absolutely wonderful!

Our daughter's June wedding at River Rock Event Center was magical. Their wedding coordinator Dixie Howell and the Chef Chase worked with us to create the event we wanted. Prior to the event, Dixie helped us make a plan for the entire evening, and then had the staff available seven hours before the wedding so that we could add personal touches. They catered to our daughter and her bridesmaids throughout the day with food, fruit, and drinks in the bride's room. The staff set up her wedding on the beautiful front lawn, ushered her guests to the patio for drinks and delicious hors d'oeuvres while the wedding party to took pictures, and then opened their lovely reception hall with its gorgeous lighting and gleaming floors.

I have to say, as the groom on our wedding day we could not have chosen a better place for a wedding. We searched and visited multiple places in the area and fell in love with this place.

I really liked the Texas ranch theme, since I had family coming in from Maine this was a great treat to all of them to see. The complex is so clean and neat. Also, every evening there are deer out in the fields which add to it's outdoor theme.

The staff are incredibly nice! I can't tell you how many venues (some even close by) that we visited for tours and the staff only talked to the bride and only asked questions to the bride- I was essentially nothing to them. NOT here! I was treated with great respect and professionalism. The staff here always checked in with me and included me in on all the conversations and questioning they had about our preferences.

I highly recommend this venue for a wedding or any other event.

The April meeting of the Fair Oaks Ranch Women's Club was held at the River Rock Event Center. The grounds and interior of the Center were outstanding and made a beautiful setting for our program. The food and beverage service was outstanding and the room arrangement met every one of our specifications.
The whole meeting was one of the highlights of our organizations year.

Beautiful venue and great staff!

River Rock Event Center was wonderful to work with from the start and absolutely gorgeous venue! They were always accommodating and really made sure that the reception for my wedding was everything and more that I had dreamt it to be. I even got to take my bridal portrait at the reception hall prior to the wedding without a charge. Some of my family and new in-laws stayed at the awesome cottages that are located on the property and loved the convenience of it. We loved the fact that the weekend was totally ours letting us have our time to set up and take down all of our decorations. Just make sure you know all the charges ahead of time (like the kitchen charge) and pay on time. I would recommend it to my friends and use it for future events if I needed to. Thanks Susie and the staff of River Rock Event Center for making my day so special! It's a Texas Hill Country Gem!

Our wine tasting group had an April Tasting at the River Rock Event Center. The outdoor patio with the bluebonnets and waterfall created a perfect setting for our starter wine. The indoor facility was arranged for our dinner complete with table decorations and the addition of an informal seating area around the fireplace. We all felt that the rural setting and flexible service were outstanding. We hope to repeat this in the future.

Beautiful place, very lovely . Can't wait for my big day!!

Overall, the experience was great: however, the day of, our coordinator was late and seemed very frazzled. She seemed overwhelmed with all that needed to be done. We were even more relaxed than she was. But other than that, it was a good experience and everything went great!

BEAUTIFUL property. No highways, no noise. Quiet, all my guests commented on how amazing the venue was. Would recommend to any of my girls.

This was the perfect venue for my simple and rustic wedding. We utilized the entire venue (3 outdoor patios and 2 indoor spaces) giving my guests the ability to move about during the reception, which everyone enjoyed. Our guest count was about 110, and we fit perfectly; not sure if you would want to go too much higher than that, though. We also rented the 2 guesthouses which lie on the property, and they are gorgeous. It was an amazing place to spend our wedding night. They also served as a "getting ready" space for the groom and groomsmen, so we could stay seperated before the ceremony.

The service staff was absolutely wonderful and kind, and the reception ran very smoothly.

They do not allow outside caterers, and when I asked about doing a tasting before hand, the coordinator was strangely opposed to it and specified that we would be required to pay any costs for a tasting. I, therefore trusted them blindly with the food, but luckily, all the food we were served was excellent. The coordinator was very flexible about my food choices, and we really enjoyed everything we ate.

My only big complaint about the venue is that the coordinator made several small decisions without consulting me, leaving me with surprises the day of. There was nothing major, all minor details, but every bride has a very detailed image in her mind of what she wants her "special day" to be like, so surprises were not a good thing to me. I appreciated her sentiment of "doing it for me", but I still would have preferred knowing about changes in the details.

When it came to the cost for everything, the invoices were extremely "general" and were not detailed. My parents covered the cost of the venue, so I didn't push the issue. (If I were paying for it myself, I would have been far more demanding about seeing what exactly I was paying for.) With that said, I think everything was very reasonable and we spent right at what we were anticipating/ told in our initial consultation.

The coordinator was absolutley delightful for ME to work with, although she did butt heads with all of my bridesmaids, sisters, and a few guests. I think it takes a very strong personality to be able to manage that many people, though, so it didn't really bother me too much.

All in all, it was an amazing backdrop for the best day of my life.
