Rivercrest Farm and Event Center Reviews

We got Married at the farm on October 7th 2023 and that day was the most incredible day of our lives! Everyone was beyond helpful the staff is beyond amazing! Let me just tell you, YOU need that day of coordinator, Bridget is the best, I repeat, THE BEST she did a phenomenal job! The farm is beautiful and over super accommodating. We also stayed in two of the homes on the property and made it a weekend event! The homes are just what you need! We would get married here once a year if we could! I do not have enough words to express how amazing it was! Just go! Have your event at Rivercrest! Run, get married!

Great venue, people, and experience! We loved all of the staff and they helped make our dream day come true! 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a good time, great communication, and a fun wedding!

This venue was EVERYTHING! It was beautiful, incredible, something out of my dreams. I am so grateful to have been married at such a beautiful location. But location aside, there is one person that stands out in the rivercrest team, Bridget Manley! She is just something special and about 50% of why we chose this venue. Bridget was our coordinator for the wedding and she was spectacular. She made the day feel flawlessly perfect and I could not be more grateful. She worked with us for months beforehand answering any and all questions. She made us feel confident and comfortable with the venue and our beautiful day. To the entire rivercrest team, thank you for everything you all did to make our night so perfect! Thank you for offering that alternative ceremony site so I could get my dream of getting married on the water. Thank you for everything!

When we visited Rivercrest we were stuck by the incredible view and beautiful barn, but when we met Bridget we knew this was our wedding venue. She is nothing but good vibes, professionalism, and top-notch organization. She will make sure your day goes smoothly and feels right— no judgement for where you might want to stray from the norm and plenty of good suggestions from her wealth of experience. She truly wants your day to be special for you and your partner. We loved having the venue for the full weekend to host all our wedding festivities from our rehearsal dinner, Friday meet & greet, Saturday wedding, and Sunday send-off. The Friday before the wedding we were frantically trying to get everything ready… well we should never have stressed because Bridget and the Rivercrest team turned our vision into a flawless reality. There were a few hiccups (the limo, our ride to the venue, broke down!) but Scot was quick to come up with a plan B and Bridget kept us on schedule. One of our favorite aspects of Rivercrest is how flexible it is for adapting to the different phases of a wedding. There are so many pockets of space to gather, dance, and enjoy. The getting ready rooms are a little tight for big groups (our wedding party got ready at the cabins we stayed at) and the on-site cabins are limited on how many they accommodate partially because of the limited number of restrooms. That said, the neighboring Deer Run cabins are fabulous and nearby. We loved our Rivercrest wedding and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to get married in the embrace of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Rivercrest was everything we wanted it to be and more! Bridget was so helpful and the entire team was wonderful throughout the wedding! They made our day perfect! I highly recommend getting married here if you want a stress-free and seamless wedding along with breathtaking views!

We had an incredible/dream wedding at Rivercrest. Bridget and Scott were both very responsive and helpful. The prices were affordable and the views magnificent. It was really nice that some of the family could stay at the venue and that we had such an awesome open guest rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. It's very much a rustic fairy tale experience complete with horses, mountains and a river!

Rivercrest farm was the perfect venu to get married at! We wanted a Barn with a rustic feel in a beautiful area and the place was just perfect for us and felt magical! Bridget our wedding planner was the easiest and friendliest person to work with. I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants to have a worry free wedding in a magical barn.

Everyone was absolutely amazing at Rivercrest! They were all so professional and hospitable! I would highly recommend this venue!

Our experience with Rivercrest Farm for our August 2021 wedding was nothing short of perfect! We worked closely with Bridget throughout our experience and was she was absolutely amazing! We met with her quite a few times to discuss planning and logistics and come the wedding day we had no worries. She was easily accessible by either phone or email and able to answer any question we had. We chose to hire the staff at the venue for the day and I definitely recommend doing so, it is well worth it. Neither of our families or our guests had any worries throughout the entire day. Everything was taken care of and organized from start to finish. The venue is well cared for and able to handle very large events. Bridget, the staff and the owners were very well accommodating and made us feel very special on our day! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

First off, its taken us WAAAAY too long to write this review for Bridget, Scott, and the whole team at Rivercrest. We are a VERY satisfied June 2021 married customer of Rivercrest. This place is absolutely amazing. The moment we met Bridget in the height of covid to tour for our wedding, we knew that (she) and this venue was it! There was no way anywhere else could top it! We actually only toured Rivercrest and made our decision right after leaving! Anyone who has met Bridget knows immediately that she is the perfect person for what she’s doing. She’s extremely hospitable, cares beyond belief and will go to the ends of the earth to make sure EVERYTHING is the way YOU want it on your special day. We honestly felt like we had made a forever friend after meeting Bridget and touring Rivercrest for the first time. Not to mention, the price you pay for what you get is a slamming deal! Leading up to the wedding, Bridget was literally at our beck and call (even though she says shes a 30-days out wedding planner) there were plenty of times we needed answers or measurements and she was on top of it and answered us the same day we asked. The venue speaks for itself, the views and pictures we have to remember this day will never, ever get old. Scott, (the owner) made it a point to come out and introduce himself to us while we were decorating and setting up the day before. He also gave us his PERSONAL number and told us to call him at any time, if we needed anything! I mean, it doesn’t get more accommodating than that! There are nothing but good things to be said about this venue and the possibilities are endless. Bridget and Scott made it very clear that they were/are open to us using the venue however we see fit. They allowed us to have full control of where we wanted to put everything. Although, since Bridget is so great at what she does we did have her suggest and take over for some parts because, duh she knows better than we do! We live just over 2 hours away from the Venue but Bridget did a wonderful job at setting up video calls and making sure we felt comfortable about everything, every step of the way. It was an honest dream come true. Everything was 100x better than we would have ever imagined and we cannot recommend this venue enough. The people who work for Rivercrest paired with the beautiful views truly make it the most wonderful experience you’ll ever have in your life!!!!

I cannot recommend rivercrest highly enough. The venue was beautiful with an absolutely gorgeous location. The staff were extremely helpful and the day would have been a disaster without Bridget. She knows then venue so we'll and absolutely killed it as a coordinator.

We cannot say enough great things about Rivercrest Farm. From the second we met Bridget and did the tour, we knew it was the venue for us. The venue is stunning by itself and needed minimal decor, which we appreciated. It is so much more than just your traditional barn venue and has uniqueness in every aspect. Bridget is not only a creative genius, but also extremely flexible and was willing to work with whatever ideas we had! The owners, Scot and Paul, were so kind and accommodating the whole time that we used their property! The wedding went perfectly and I would choose Rivercrest 100x over!

Rivercrest Farm is a beautiful venue with breathtaking mountain views! We wanted a destination wedding from PA to VA. We toured several VA farms, but after our tour with Bridget at Rivercrest Farm we just knew this was the venue for us. Bridget was so great to work with every step of the way! Seven months into our planning , the pandemic began. Bridget & the owners of the Rivercrest were willing to work with us to turn our destination wedding into a small private ceremony. We were able to stream the ceremony on Zoom & our day turned out so amazing & beautiful! I would recommend Rivercrest Farm to anyone!

The experience and knowledge they have made everything flow so easily, and the amount of detail they put into everything is amazing! I couldn't have dreamed of an easier wedding planning experience, Bridget literally thought of everything and was so pleasant to work with she made the night magical and worked hard to make every idea I had perfect.

Booking with rivercrest was hands down the best decision we made about our wedding. Everyone was so helpful and cooperative throughout the whole process, and made the day of such a breeze. Could not reccomend them highly enough!!

Rivercrest farm went above and beyond for us! We couldn’t have found a better spot to get married. My husband is from New Jersey and I am from Virginia so we needed a place that was centralized for our families and big enough! We had about 50 people Just in Our Wedding party and about 300 people attended. No one ever felt crammed up or crowded because the farm was just perfectly laid out for a huge wedding like ours. We basically rented out the whole farm for the whole weekend. We really loved the fact that it came with houses that we could fill up with our wedding party. Everyone had only good things to say about the property and everyone who works there. Especially Bridget, she is the most chill/awesome wedding planner that you will ever work with. We had a band and a DJ and three food trucks. The weather was incredible and the barn was so beautiful. We recommend Rivercrest farm to any couple who wants to have a private, beautiful celebration with their family and friends. They were awesome.

Rivercrest Farm went above and beyond all of our expectations. Bridget was the best day of Wedding planner. She was professional, friendly, caring, compassionate, a ball of energy and very personable. She made sure everything went better than it was supposed to. Scott made sure that everything was beyond perfect. I would highly recommend this venue if you want your day to be special and one of a kind.

My daughter was married there on 10/12/19. Words can never express our joy and love for Rivercrest and every single person who worked with us! It was P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!!!! Anyone thinking of getting married in this area HAS to check them out.
This was the only venue we looked at whose contract began Friday morning and ended on Sunday afternoon. THAT was a life saver for decorating and then cleaning up afterwards.
The activities director, Bridget is a saint and extremely brilliant. We hired her as our DOC the first time we met her. She is in love with her job and it shows. Between Scot and Bridget, we never had a worry. They even had staff who provided expert help with decorating!
In addition there are several Air B&B houses on the property that you can rent. The wedding party never had to leave the farm.
We do not live in that area and every vendor Bridget suggested turned out to be phenomenal to work with! We love all of you at Rivercrest!!!!!
I chose pictures that showed all the different views and aspects of Rivercrest Farms.
