    Truly Impressive

    We recently hosted our wedding at Riverdale Manor, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. From start to finish, everything was truly exceptional. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance was absolutely magical.

    Maureen and her incredible team executed every moment with flawless precision. From the rehearsal the day before, to the ceremony, to the reception, and even the pack-up and send-off at the end of the night—everything flowed seamlessly. Their professionalism, organization, and genuine care allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of such a special day.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone at Riverdale Manor for giving our family and our guests a truly memorable event

    The BEST venue!

    We truly can't say enough amazing things about our experience with Riverdale Manor. Monica (our coordinator) made the planning process so easily, and she was extremely responsive throughout. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous in every area- from the outside scenery, to the reception space, and the indoor pavilion area where we had our ceremony. Our guests raved about the food, and we loved how customizable the menu was.
    The wedding day itself was stress free because of the coordinators and all of the lovely people who work at Riverdale! It was also more affordable than many of the other venues we toured. We really could not be happier with our choice to get married here!

    Dream Come True

    We hosted our wedding at Riverdale Manor in late 2024 and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we made. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional.
    The venue itself was breathtaking! Many guests commented on how beautiful the grounds and buildings were. We were really fortunate to work with Maureen- the owner who was kind, really knowledgeable that only years of experience can provide. She was a thoughtful partner every step of the way.
    And the food- Wow! The catering was absolutely phenomenal! Our guest are still raving at how incredible quality and presentations of all of the food.
    I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Riverdale Manor to any couple looking for a wedding venue

    Dream Wedding Venue!!

    Your venue search stops here! My husband and I got married here in May 2025 were in love with Riverdale from our first visit. Every aspect of the venue is gorgeous, including both ceremony sites. It ended up raining on our wedding day and it truly did not even matter because the covered option is just as beautiful as the outdoor option. You are required to use the in house caterer but they have tons of options and everything was absolutely delicious. Riverdale also provides a coordinator who works with you from start to finish. Our coordinator, Madison, was amazing. She was so friendly, helpful, easy to communicate with, and totally made our dream wedding day come to life. On the day of, we also worked with assistant coordinator Emma. The 2 of them took care of absolutely everything and made our day run so smoothly. I am so glad that we chose Riverdale for our wedding, I could not recommend them more!!

    Thank you!

    Our daughter was married at Riverdale Manor last Friday and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. Maddy was so responsive throughout the planning process and both she and Emma were so communicative, efficient and supportive during the rehearsal and wedding day. The venue looked beautiful and the food was delicious. Thank you for making Emily and Mark's wedding such a memorable day!

    My Dream Wedding!

    Myself and my husband got married at Riverdale Manor on November 15th 2024. To be honest, we fell in love with this venue the second we laid eyes on it during our tour. The venue inside and out is GORGEOUS and honestly has such a quaint magical feel to it. It has an upscale rustic vibe that I knew was exactly what I wanted. The venue offers its own catering which was so nice because we didn't have to worry about a thing with the food at all. The food was AMAZING and our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful everything was and how good the food was. Monica was our wedding coordinator and she was an angel. She answered all of my questions (and I loaded her up with them). I think the weeks and month leading up to the wedding I was so anxious about every little detail and she was always so quick to respond, never getting tired of answering my questions and putting me at ease. I will never forget the moment I was sitting at dinner at our sweetheart table and I looked around at the reception and thought ... 'wow, they really made my dream come true.' Monica did such an amazing job making everything look exactly how I wanted it to without a worry. It was the best day of my life and I am so thankful for my experience at this venue with their staff.

    Beautiful Venue with Wonderful Staff!

    I would absolutely recommend Riverdale Manor to anyone looking to book a wedding venue. Monica and Maddie were a wonderful team and were incredibly responsive from the time we booked 2 years ahead of our wedding to the day of. Maddie was our day of coordinator and she made sure the day went off without a hitch. The food was amazing and we are still getting compliments from guests 3 months later! The grounds are gorgeous and even though it rained a bit on our day, it was still perfect and photos came out great. Prices are affordable and they have so many options and really work to stay in your budget. Do not hesitate to book RM for your day- it will be perfect!

    I would highly recommend Riverdale for a wedding! It was a magical day!

    My son was recently married at Riverdale in Oct. 2024. Our coordinator, Maddie, was great! She was the 3rd coordinator assigned to the wedding over 1 year, 9 months but the transitions seemed smooth and the event was extremely well organized. I was impressed with Maddie and the rest of the hard working staff. I had a smaller role in the planning so I cannot comment on the communication up to the wedding day.

    I appreciated the tasting we had to make sure of all our food choices. We did change the menu based on that tasting. We had stations instead of a sit down dinner. The food was delicious and presented so beautifully! Many of our guests commented on it. The bartenders also did a great job. It was nice to save some money by bringing in our own beer/wine/liquor.

    The venue was gorgeous! The pavilion and patio were so pretty and the grounds were beautiful. Having the farm house to dress/take pictures was so nice and super convenient. We also enjoyed having the ballroom along with the patio to use throughout the night. It allowed for dancing but also quieter conversations.

    I would highly recommend Riverdale for a wedding! It was a magical day!

    The PERFECT Wedding Venue

    My husband and I got married at Riverdale at the very end of December 2023. It was the perfect venue for our holiday wedding. We appreciated the staff's communication, attention to detail, and overall kindness to our guests. My husband and I felt at ease throughout the entire planning process; having Thyme and Seasons catering at the venue was so helpful. The food was beyond delicious and everyone left well-fed! Our cake, also from Thyme and Seasons, was so beautiful and tasty. We cannot recommend Riverdale Manor enough! We are so grateful to have found such an amazing venue that made our wedding so magical!

    Couldn’t have asked for better!

    My wife and I got married at Riverdale Manor in June. Everything was perfect. The venue is beautiful, the staff was attentive and professional, and the food was amazing. We wish we could relive our day over and over again. I highly recommend having your wedding at Riverdale Manor!

    Super easy!

    We were married at Riverdale Manor this past Fall and it was stunningly beautiful. Based on all of the reviews, we expected the food and service was incredible. But what was most surprising was how easy the planning process was. We planned our wedding long distance and Maureen who was our coordinator was incredibly knowledgeable and also really responsive to all of our emails which made the process super easy. We worked with a lot of their recommended vendors and since they were very familiar with Riverdale Manor they needed little to no direction from us.

    Had a wonderful wedding at Riverdale Manor!

    Riverdale Manor was a great venue for our wedding. We had our wedding in late November, so we got married in the pavilion, where it was heated and very comfortable. Everything looked so great on the day of the wedding - the ceremony, the cocktail lounge and ballroom were all as good as we could’ve hoped. We also really enjoyed working with Monica as our wedding coordinator. She made everything so easy for us and handled all our details with ease. We felt like we were in capable hands from start to finish. Thyme & Seasons Catering also did a great job with all our food, everything tasted great and there were lots of options to choose from. FYI, if you do choose Riverdale, you’ll have to use Thyme & Seasons as your caterer. But overall, we were very happy with Riverdale as our venue, it’s an easy five stars for us!

    Just perfect

    We hosted our daughters wedding at Riverdale Manor in May 2023 and it was just perfect. the weather cooperated and the ceremony was on the river. Maureen was our coordinator and did an outstanding job of pulling together all of our details. We had a seated dinner and we are still getting compliments about the food and service. We were thoroughly delighted with all aspects of our event at Riverdale Manor

    WOW! Our favorite day thanks to Riverdale Manor.

    We cannot begin to say enough amazing things about Riverdale Manor! Everything from the venue, to the staff, and the food went above and beyond our expectations. From the start, the coordinators made us feel at ease through the planning process. They answered every email in a timely manner and gave advice when we needed it. Vashti made everything feel easy with her calm, kind, and professional tone. We seriously couldn't have done it without her! And the food?! WOW. Wedding food is typically bland and not very memorable, but not at Riverdale. Thyme & Seasons Catering was better than we could have ever imagined for our 150 guest wedding. The taco station was such a hit and we continue to get compliments on the Salmon. I can genuinely say the food was the best I've ever had at a wedding. Our guests raved about it. Not only were the staff and food amazing, but the venue itself was perfect for our early Summer wedding. Our guests were able to enjoy cocktail hour under their beautifully lit Garden Terrace and Pavilion and venture down to take in the River views. The property is absolutely breathtaking all around. I highly recommend having your wedding at Riverdale Manor! Your wedding day will be perfect.

    The Most Magical Day of Our Lives

    Riverdale was the perfect venue for our wedding and Monica was a dream to work with.

    Their unique landscape and ability to use so mix of the property enabled our guests and to spread to have conversations, but also come together on the dance floor.

    Also, their ceremony location by the river was magical and the backup location had us never worrying once about rain.

    Perfect Venue!

    Melanie, Angie, and the whole team at Riverdale Manor took all the guesswork out of planning our wedding. From the first meeting through the day of our wedding, the team was friendly, supportive, and available to answer all our questions. The wedding itself was an absolute dream come true, and multiple guests commented on how gorgeous the venue is and how incredible the food was. I can not recommend Riverdale Manor enough!

    This must be the place

    My wife and I had our wedding at Riverdale Manor on a scorching hot day in late July 2022. But really our story with Riverdale began a year earlier. After getting engaged, we scrolled through what must have been hundreds of venues, looking for a location with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, searching for a place that felt like it represented us as a couple. I will always have to my credit that I’m the one who found Riverdale Manor.

    We visited and met Melanie, who would be our thoughtful and endlessly patient coordinator for the next year. Melanie made all of the details and options digestible and was attentive to our many questions. She showed us the space and it was even more beautiful in person than in the photos online. I would highly recommend making the trip and taking your time walking the grounds. It is peaceful and charming, with all the modern amenities you could expect.

    In choosing Riverdale Manor as our wedding venue, we were also choosing Thyme & Seasons Catering. Some couples may prefer a venue at which they can bring in a separate caterer, but to us this was a bonus. We had a tasting the winter before our wedding and were impressed.

    In the months that followed, Melanie answered every single little question we had, usually within a day. She never made us feel foolish for asking, and fielded our queries and requests with kindness. When our wedding day finally arrived, everything went without a hitch. If you are looking for a venue and coordinator that “just handles it,” then Riverdale and Melanie are your picks. It was really, honestly a magical day, and Riverdale a big part of that. This is a place that will exist in our memories forever, and we couldn’t be happier about that.

    Amazing venue and even better service

    We can't say enough good things about Riverdale Manor and Monica. From the moment we first arrived for a venue tour to the final box being packed into our family's cars the day of our wedding, we were taken care of every step of the way. Riverdale Manor offers couples peace of mind in knowing no matter what the weather may bring on your big day, your plan A through Z option will be beautiful. Our guests raved about the grounds and ability to spread out, and absolutely loved the food. Monica and her team were amazing to work with and thought of every detail.

    Riverdale Manor was perfect!

    Monica and her staff at Riverdale Manor made my daughter's late January wedding perfect! The day of the wedding, they handled everything from set up to boxing up the centerpieces, etc. at the end of the night so we were all able to just enjoy the wedding. Having a winter wedding means that weather can be an issue. Being able to hold everything inside at Riverdale Manor from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception made it so much easier for the guests. The venue is absolutely beautiful and the food was awesome. We did stations and they were a big hit! Thank you Monica for everything. It was truly a perfect day. The light dusting of snow made the outside photos awesome!

    Beautiful, Romantic, Fairytale Location

    Everybody says to prepare for something to go wrong at your wedding, but truly nothing did. Melanie responded to tons and tons of emails and many changes beforehand. And when the day came, she ran everything like a well-oiled machine

    The venue itself is gorgeous. The wedding was over a month ago, and people are still complimenting its perfection for our romantic fall wedding. I was going for fairytale forest with lots of different jewel tone colors, and it was perfect without feeling like a basic barn or a stuffy castle. Pictures attached.

    Note: The pricing is itemized, down to every napkin. To some, this is a minus because it’s a lot more work for the client. To me, it was a plus because we weren’t stuck with a pre-made package and could custom-tailor every detail and make it fit our budget.

    Otherwise I'll let the pictures speak for themselves :) (photos by Jackie Pochadt and Austin Gill)

    Above & Beyond in Every Detail

    Wow, we cannot say enough great things about Riverdale Manor!! This was the first and only venue we needed to see and it was so perfect for us from day one.

    We got the pleasure of working with Melanie - who consistently went above and beyond to be the most responsive throughout the entire process. From making sure we had enough food, to helping with decorations, and everything in between - we truly couldn’t have done it without all of her knowledge, recommendations and attention to detail!

    For the wedding day, Melanie kept everything running smoothly and ahead of schedule! Every single detail was perfect and everything went according to plan without a single hiccup - which is unheard of!

    There isn’t enough praise to say about Melanie and the staff at RM - we are truly grateful we got to meet and work with everyone for our special day!

    Everyone is still talking about how beautiful of a venue it is, how nice and helpful the entire staff was, and THE FOOOD - WOW SO DELICIOUS. Everyone was obsessed with the slider bar, crab cake bites, and mini margarita pizzas to name a few!

    RM will always hold a special place in our hearts ♥️ Thank you for making our wedding day more than we ever could have imagined!

    We can’t recommend RM enough!

    From the very beginning, we were treated like royalty. Monica gave us our first tour and we fell in love with the grounds. She was then our point of contact from there forward, making the planning process so easy.

    We were able to drop everything off the day before, which made life a lot easier. All we did was provide pictures and the staff put up all the decorations, exactly as we had imagined and sometimes better than we ever could have thought.

    The caterer with the venue (Thyme & Seasons) was excellent. Accommodating staff topped off the night! The bartenders knew everyone's drink orders by the end of the night and kept them hydrated. The assistants helped pack everything up and got everything into our cars so we never had to be worried about a thing.

    Gorgeous unique venue!

    Out of all the venues we looked at, nowhere came even close to Riverdale Manor! This venue is a "hidden" gem with a unique variety of indoor/outdoor spaces. They offer catering with pretty much ANYTHING you could imagine (mashed potato bar in martini glasses?!? yep.) with options to fit every budget -- and everything was absolutely delicious! Our wedding coordinator, Melanie, was INCREDIBLE and made sure everything went seamlessly throughout the planning process and wedding day. We received so many compliments on our wedding day about the venue -- and still are a month later!

    Absolutely lovely venue!

    We got married on 09/06/2021, and we honestly could not have picked a better place! Our coordinator, Melanie, was a rockstar from the second we toured the venue to the end of our reception. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! She was organized, professional, and very accommodating of our requests. She kept all of our vendors on the same page and ensured that everything ran smoothly during the event. She set up decorations, saved us from a last-minute table number mishap, and checked on us during the event to make sure that we were okay! Additionally, the day-of assistant, Sierra, was incredibly friendly and professional.
    The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and the grounds are incredibly well kept, right to the bridal/groom suites. The food was delicious and the staff was so polite. We can’t say enough good things about this venue. They offer so much!

    Amazing Experience!

    I got married here back in December and our day turned out just as we imagined! We worked with Sierra and she was so professional and helped us capture the vision we dreamed of. She set up all our decor and stayed on top of our timeline to keep us organized throughout the day. Dani was her assistant and he was so helpful throughout the day with everything we needed. Also, the food was incredible! Thyme & Seasons Catering has the best chefs! We were so lucky to have snow on our wedding day and very happy we decided to hold our wedding at Riverdale! For anyone looking for an amazing experience, we highly recommend!!

    Best venue for your best day

    Riverdale was the best choice for us. The layout of the venue is great for guests to go wherever they want to go (hang in the ballroom, dance in the pavilion, play backyard games). Our guests loved the venue. Melanie and the crew were absolutely awesome helping us with everything. The crew even helped pack our stuff at the end of the night. I highly recommend Riverdale Manor for your special day.

    Dream Come True!!

    Where to even begin? Riverdale Manor is utter perfection. Period. The second I stepped foot on the grounds, I knew it was meant to be our wedding venue. It's breathtakingly beautiful everywhere you look and at every time of day. The outdoor and indoor options are both to die for, which eases a lot of stress when talking about Plan B options if your first choice is to have your ceremony outdoors. The land has an endless amount of great photo spots that will give your photographers and videographers all kinds of fun things to work with. But those are all the highlights you'll learn very quickly after you visit. Let me tell you about some of the things you won't know until during or after your big day...

    1) You and your guests will be OBSESSED with the food! You'll get a tiny hint of that at your tasting, but you will be blown away by how delicious every single thing is the day of. I wish I could have their halibut, bacon-wrapped shrimp and cake every day!

    2) The staff are exceptional at what they do, and they are so sweet to your guests. (Danny in particular was amazing and so helpful!)

    3) Every single detail you plan will be perfect. Be sure to soak it in!

    4) Your coordinator will make sure your vendors have and know everything they need to to ensure your day is perfect.

    Maureen was our wedding coordinator, and I can't rave enough about her. She's incredibly detail-oriented and the most amazing thought partner. She'll not only bring your vision to life, but she'll help you refine it along the way. And the day of, she's handling it all so you can just be present and enjoy the day you worked so hard to create. We are BEYOND grateful for Maureen and her expertise -- if you have the honor of working with her, you truly have the best in the business (though I have no doubt every coordinator here is exceptional). Our day wouldn't have been the dream that it was without her.

    Riverdale will always hold the most special place in our hearts. We know you will love it endlessly, too!

    Wonderful!!

    I have absolutely no regrets about choosing Riverdale for my wedding. Its so beautiful,, fist off,, and it was spacious enough for COVID safety. Monica, a wedding coordinator there, was flexible, friendly and always willing to help me with any questions and to give suggestions. The wedding went so smoothly, and she worked with our DJ and Phographer to make sure everything happened on time, and they qork8like a well oiled machine. I would HIGHLY recommend Riverdale Manor for your wedding.

    Beautiful Wedding Venue

    Even in the midst of COVID-19 crisis, the Riverdale Manor was supportive, accommodating and encouraging throughout the planning process. The staff was outstanding, the food is fabulous - definitely not the rubber chicken of other venues. The new pavilion was perfect for the cocktail reception and surroundings made for a one stop venue to host our Daughter's wedding. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue, fabulous the food and first class the staff. Monica Wagner and her team did a fabulous job in supporting the day, enabling all of us to focus on the celebration and enjoy every moment. I would highly recommend this venue for any occasion / celebration.

    Perfect Winter Wedding at the Perfect Venue!

    Riverdale Manor was the perfect location for our picture perfect snowy winter wedding day! Our ceremony and reception were both held on the grounds and both were equally as beautiful. We worked with Melanie as our coordinator, who was extremely responsive in planning and answering any and all questions in the year leading up to our event and was instrumental in making the day seamless and stress free. We had so many compliments on the venue, service, and food. My husband and I went in with the expectation that not everything would go as we had planned on our big day, but our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we couldn't have asked for anything to be better or different. I look back on our big day with so much happiness and I hope that every bride gets to experience her wedding day the same way that I did at Riverdale Manor.

    Amazing Wedding Venue!!

    Booking our wedding venue was by far our most difficult choice. When we first saw Riverdale Manor in person, we just fell in love. Riverdale's property is gorgeous. One thing that was important to us was having a beautiful back up plan in case it rained, and Riverdale offered a beautiful pavilion. The staff are wonderful individuals and strong in their communication skills and friendliness. They assist you in wedding planning down to the last detail. Our day went so smoothly thanks to the staff. We had carving stations as our reception food, and many individual complimented how much they loved our food as well as the property. I still look back on our wedding photos and am just in awe at how gorgeous of a place Riverdale is. I am beyond grateful we booked them for our wedding! Our wedding was in early November. I've included some photos of the property for that time of year. :)

    So nice and rustic

    I was the brides maid in a wedding here a year ago and it. Was so pretty on that summer day down by the river. Everything was so nice it made a wonderful spot for photos.

    Dream Wedding Venue

    When my husband and I got engaged, right away we started researching venues. Riverdale was not on my list but we had numerous friends who suggested we check this place out. So glad we did! After leaving from our tour of Riverdale, my husband and I looked at one another and knew we had found our venue.
    To start, Riverdale is absolutely stunning. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. The farmhouse, ballroom and gazebo are the perfect combination of elegant and rustic. Another major reason we picked Riverdale was because of our “plan B”. We both wanted an outdoor wedding. Other venues we looked at did not really have a rain plan or if they did it wasn’t a very good one. At Riverdale that’s not the case at all. If you can’t get married on the grounds due to the weather, the gazebo is a perfect back up plan!!
    Monica was our coordinator during the whole process. I cannot say enough great things about her!! She was absolutely amazing to work with. She kept up on track with planning everything. She answered all our questions (even the annoying ones) and was always so great at responding quickly. Thanks to Monica I was not stressed at all leading up to wedding. I knew she would help make sure everything ran smoothly.
    Finally, our wedding day was a dream come true. Monica made sure everything stayed on course and on time which is such a relief. My husband and I were able to just enjoy ourselves all day/night. The food was seriously DELICIOUS (we still have guests telling us how great our food was). Everything was perfect!
    Honestly, Riverdale is one of a kind. If we could do it all over again we would choose this venue in a heartbeat!! We could never thank Monica and the staff enough for making our wedding so perfect!

    Loved! Beautiful place and Amazing Staff!

    Beautiful Place with helpful and amazing staff. Made our day just more memorable. Melanie Helped us through the whole process, she was wonderful to work with, professional, attentive, helped us with every detail you can think of. There were many things we hadn't even planned as we were new to this like every other couple getting married for the first time. Melanie kept us on schedule through out the whole wedding. Riverdale manor has the Best food, it was delicious and filling, the staff packed us food to go which was a plus because during the wedding we barely ate. All of our guest were amazed with the venue and their catering, to this day I still get great comments about it. Couldn't agree more. I would look into booking them!

    Out Dream Venue

    Mu husband & I feel completely in love with this venue at 1st sight. Melanie was amazing! She made sure everything ran perfectly. The wedding was outside by the river and was stunning. The reception looked incredible and we did a lot ourselves so Melanie was fantastic helping to put last minute touches on things. The venue was the perfect size for our 140 guest list. Our guests raved about how gorgeous the reception hall and the grounds were, but also about how amazing all the food was. It was the most wonderful day and I couldn’t recommend them enough!

    Perfect Wedding Venue!!

    My husband and I got married there in April, and Riverdale Manor exceeded our expectation in every way! Monica was our wedding coordinator and she did an excellent job in keeping constant communication with us during the planning process and throughout the wedding day. She was very organized and ensured that every detail was taken care of, which I greatly appreciated. She assisted with the pre-wedding setup and the guest raved about how beautiful the entire venue looked. I gave her a vision and she brought it to life. I could not thank her enough! The venue itself was breathtaking! I was hoping to use the outdoor grounds for the ceremony, unfortunately the grounds were wet from the day before, and they were unable to set up on the lawn. As such, we had to use the pavilion. The pavilion was beautiful and it created a very intimate ceremony. The overall ambiance of the venue was breathtaking and we received so many compliments. The food was also delicious and a good serving size. The staff and bartenders were all extremely professional and kind to our guest. I would highly recommend this venue!! It was perfect!

    Best Day Ever!

    We were just married at Riverdale in June. The day was truly perfect!! It exceeded all of our expectations. Several guests told us it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Everyone loved the food and commented on how professional and courteous the staff was. We worked with wedding planner Monica and are so thankful. She responded promptly throughout the entire wedding planning process and was extremely knowledgeable and fun to work with. We were able to enjoy our day stress free knowing that she was taking care of everything. We had a blast at our wedding and would do it all over again if we could.

    Gorgeous venue -- excellent service

    I can't say enough good things about Riverdale Manor. The venue is stunning and the food absolutely delicious. The staff and owner Maureen and wedding planner Monica went out of their way to make sure the wedding day went off without a hitch. It's always the small things though-- like an heirloom cake server we brought and thought we forgot to bring home but found later that it was carefully wrapped up by the staff in our bundle of things we brought home -- or a bartender that saw the MOB waiting in line and jumped out to serve her specially that sets one place above another. Dani who helped orchestrate the staff and the day was so professional and kind. It is clear that Riverdale knows how to make sure the day is very special and runs smoothly. I would not hesitate to recommend this venue for anyone who is hoping to have a stress free day and beautiful wedding.

    Riverdale Manor

    I was married here one week ago and it was incredible. Monica was our wedding coordinator and did a great job of keeping the day running smoothly. We had all the appetizers we wanted and she made sure the whole day was on schedule. Her kind and relaxed nature helped both James and I feel at ease as well. Gorgeous venue too- with lots of outdoor space and gardens and a beautiful ballroom that simply doesn’t need much decorating with the natural light seeping through. The food was spectacular, the bartenders and staff kind. We loved our day and it would not have been made possible without this wonderful venue. I would recommend this to others, especially if you want your day to be gorgeous and fun. Thank you Riverdale Manor!

    Gorgeous Venue, Fabulous Staff!

    Our March 1st, 2019 wedding at Riverdale Manor could not have been better! Monica worked with us for the past two years to make our vision come true. We loved how gorgeous the grounds were in all types of weather. It being early March we wanted a venue that could handle, sun, rain, or snow. It snowed the morning of our venue and the snow with all of the lighting was just gorgeous. We received so many compliments on the food, decor, and overall ambiance of the venue. We chose our photographers (Tony Gibble), transportation (Schultz), and officiant (Rev. Theresa) from their preferred vendors list and we loved each of them!! Our whole day was completely stress free all thanks to the staff at Riverdale Manor, Monica, and the amazing vendors they recommended!!

    Perfect Wedding Venue!!!

    The first wedding decision we made a year and a half ago was choosing our venue, Riverdale Manor. We worked with Monica from the moment I inquired about the venue 2 years ago, to our wedding day this past Saturday. Monica was an abolute pleasure to work with!! she was always patient with my many emails with questions and my detailed outlines/timelines. She knew our vision and was able to set-up the perfect Ceremony & Reception spaces we oculd have ever dreamed of. Our wedding was perfect from start to finsih. The venue alone is simply stunning (they decorate with greenery for the Holidays!) and their staff is FANTASTIC! We were so lucky to work with a venue and staff that did SO much for us, and all of their couples. They get the linens, handle all the food, set-up all your supplies day of, have gorgeous bridal suites, pack everything up at the end of the night, and are there to make sure the day is as perfect as it can be. I have never worked with a site that was so organized until working with Riverdale. Monica is the greatest ever and working with her and her assistant Julie was so lovely. They never made me feel rushed or like a burden. They were there to make sure everything flowed nicely. They also pack all your supplies up at the end of the night AND give you leftovers!! This was so so exciting for me and my husband because we hardly had a moment to eat, so having leftovers, our cake, and desserts, was so special for us. If you are thinking about Riverdale, I suggest choosing them! They're the best in the business!

    Beautiful venue, helpful staff

    We had a wonderful experience with Riverdale Manor and with our coordinator, Melanie. She took care of the numerous big and small details throughout the wedding planning process to ensure that our wedding was a beautiful, enjoyable night for us and our guests. We couldn't believe that everything went so perfectly!

    You get a lot for your money at Riverdale Manor, which is not something I can say of the other venues we toured in the Lancaster and Philadelphia areas. While planning, I was all about simplicity, and having catering in-house and a wedding coordinator included in the package made planning much easier on us. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, reasonably priced wedding location with great, professional service.

    Absolutely perfect!

    Monica, Linda, and the staff at Riverdale are absolutely top notch. I had a wonderful experience with everyone I encountered during the planning process and would not change one thing. I was told by several people how delicious the food was and how beautiful the venue is. Some even compared it to Magnolia, which for this Fixer Upper fan is the ultimate compliment!

    We are so happy that we chose Riverdale Manor for our wedding venue! At our very first appointment, we knew that we would be in great hands! Monica was an amazing coordinator, and was always there to answer questions or give creative ideas. Due to the forecast, we ended up having our ceremony in the pavilion instead of outside on the grass. The pavilion was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful ceremony spot. . After the ceremony, Monica and staff did such a great job turning the pavilion into our dance floor and bar. Our guests are still raving about the food served at dinner, and we agree that it was delicious! The dessert bar is an absolute must, as well. Thank you, Riverdale Manor, for making our dreams come true!

    Riverdale Manor is amazing!! On many levels... the location and scenery is breathtaking, the venue is beautiful, the owner Maureen and staff are second to none! This is THE place to celebrate your wedding. Our guests still rave
    about our daughter’s wedding a year later. From the outside chapel to the outside patio, you will be hard pressed to find a more beautiful, clean, well run wedding venue anywhere.....

    Riverdale Manor is a beautiful venue for a wedding! We had a summer wedding and opted to have our ceremony in the pavilion, even though they have a grass area for a ceremony as well. It was the perfect spot for our ceremony and the lights were beautiful. We decided to have the pavilion transitioned to the dance floor and it was a great decision so that the older crowd could stay inside to mingle while the partiers could dance all night long outside. Melanie, our coordinator, was so helpful and promptly answered our concerns/questions. The day went off without any major issues. I wouldn't have had my wedding anywhere else and recommend Riverdale Manor to anyone in the Lancaster area.

    My husband and I got married at Riverdale Manor in May 2018 and we could not possibly be more happy with Riverdale Manor!

    We fell in love with Riverdale Manor upon our first visit. There are so many spaces to love - the covered pavilion and breezeway, the indoor hall, the outdoor ceremony space by the river, the patio, and the farmhouse. We also loved Riverdale because it had an indoor ceremony option that we loved just as much (if not more) than the outdoor space!

    It had rained the entire week of our wedding, so the ceremony was in the covered pavilion. The space was so beautiful and intimate, the perfect ceremony. We had so many compliments from our guests on how much they loved the ceremony space and how it was unique to any wedding they had previously attended.

    Our coordinator, Monica, was so awesome! We worked with her from our very first visit. She was so on top of every little detail. She typically responded to any inquiry within 24 hours. She was there every step of the way to help us plan, and she attended the wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly. She and the Riverdale team also set up the room and put up all decorations so we didn't have to do anything the day of the wedding except enjoy the day!

    Strongly recommend Riverdale Manor to everyone!

    My husband and I just got married last week at Riverdale Manor. This venue could not have been more perfect and beautiful. Monica, our coordinator was so awesome and helped alleviate any day of stress we had. She literally did everything! Everything about our day was perfect - the cake and food were delicious, the venue itself, the ease of having someone put all your visions to life, the bride and groom suites, and so much more. We also loved how beautiful the back up option is for the ceremony in case of inclement weather. If I had to go back and do it over, I wouldn't change a thing or our decision to get married here. I can't stop raving about this venue. This place made our day a dream come true. All our wedding guests were complimenting how beautiful it was. I can't speak highly enough about Riverdale Manor!!!!!! Thanks again Monica!!!

    Riverdale Manor was the perfect choice for our March wedding. The property was so beautiful and we knew we would have great options for our ceremony and reception no matter how the weather turned out. We worked with Maureen and we really appreciated her depth of knowledge: she helped us make the right choices for our vendor team and generally to achieve our vision. Many of our guests commented both on how beautiful the venue is, but also how smoothly the whole evening ran. We had a great experience with Riverdale Manor and Maureen, and we really appreciated how easy she made our wedding planning process!

    I, apparently was a very calm bride! How could I NOT be with such amazing vendors and the most perfect venue for us.

    The entire staff was organized and professional to help plan for the wedding, and they were wonderful the day of! I couldn’t have made a better choice for a wedding venue. Thank you Riverdale Manor for our perfect wedding day! My family members and guests still compliment on how beautiful the grounds were for our July 2017 wedding.

    Also, I cannot believe Riverdale Manor is less than 2 miles from my childhood home and elementary school...what a hidden gem!

    My wife and I get married September 22nd. This venue is top notch and made our day that much better. The staff is great and was willing to help with anything we needed as much as they could, was even accurate in giving me updates on our alcohol levels. Food was top notch, and the views were amazing throughout the night. I would HIGHLY recommend riverdale for anyone looking.

    My wife and I just got married here in October 2017 and this place was PERFECT! We planned our wedding from Seattle, WA and our coordinator, Monica, was the perfect combination of professional and fun for helping us every step of the way. She has no problems planning most of the wedding over email, and provided us will all of the tools and info so that is was easy to do so. She was open to every idea we had, and provided spot-on suggestions for the pieces we were unsure about. As for the venue, the grounds are beautiful, the staff is friendly and the food is fantastic! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day :)

    Our experience with Riverdale Manor was truly outstanding from start to finish. Katie was our coordinator, and she was absolutely amazing, and so responsive and helpful during the planning process. Everything was perfect - from the food, to the beautiful venue, to the staff, we seriously couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out. Stop searching now and choose Riverdale Manor for your special day, you won't regret it!!

    I cannot say enough great things about Riverdale and their staff there! We got married on September 17th, 2017, and everything was executed flawlessly, from the start to the finish. Our coordinator, Katie definitely knew her stuff, and was very quick at responding and guiding us through the planning process. On your wedding day, the grounds at Riverdale are yours to use to create your dream space, and your event is their sole focus that day, which is something that really appealed to us. While they do have specific guidelines and rules, if you think about all of the things you CAN do with the space, rather than the restrictions and the things you CAN'T do, you will be able to create your vision easily! The ceremony and reception timeline ran seamlessly, thanks to Katie and her assistant, and we had PLENTY of time to eat, dance, mingle, and truly ENJOY our day- it was so so awesome to not have to worry about a single thing! My husband and I work in the hospitality industry, so the food and service were extremely important to us. Not only was the food flawless, but all of the bartenders, service staff, runners, bussers, and clean up crew were polite, friendly, attentive, and did everything possible to keep us happy! For brides considering Riverdale- this place runs like an oiled machine. They have very specific vendors and staff that work with them every weekend, and know the drill- so trust them and use their experience to your advantage. Do consider a venue like this that has high standards set for the level of hospitality they provide. You may think that they are being too strict or limiting, but in the end, your guests will really notice the difference! You don't need the 20inch sparklers anyway- trust me ;) To finish, we have to send a HUGE thank you to Katie- you are wonderful and great at what you do. Thank you for being patient and open to our suggestions, constant e-mails, and for working with your staff to pull off the best event EVER. <3

    Riverdale Manor is a magical place and I fell in love the minute I saw it! The staff is phenomenal and we could not have had a better wedding day! They are thorough, welcoming, and as concerned about your day as much as you are. I'd get married there 100 times if that was possible! There will never be enough "thank yous" for Riverdale, you guys are the best!

    I recently got married at Riverdale Manor on July 3rd, 2017 and our day couldn’t have been more perfect. We worked with Maureen Raezer who made the planning process easy, stress-free, and fun! I would highly recommend Riverdale Manor to anyone who is looking for a venue that will take care of you and make sure everything is planned out. As a bride, it was amazing to not worry about the little details – the staff at Riverdale took care of setting everything up and making sure the day ran smoothly. Our guests who attended the wedding could not stop complimenting us on the venue we selected. The food was also a major hit! Guests loved the quality of the food and appreciated that the food was delivered to each table at the same time, no tables were left waiting (even if they were sitting at a higher table number). On top of everything else, Riverdale also provides multiple locations to get married (indoors and outdoors). Luckily we had amazing weather and we were able to get married outside by the river, but if there would have been rain… their indoor location at the gazebo is just as beautiful! Thank you Riverdale Manor for providing my husband and I with a day that we will never forget!

    You will not regret picking Riverdale Manor as your venue. We were getting compliments ALL night about the beautiful venue. The lights in the pavilion made such a romantic glow, we had people dancing all night. The landscaping is absolute perfection, flowers, trees and green everywhere. Maureen was so organized and had all of my wedding party and family in line. The ceremony and reception was absolutely perfect. I'm so glad that we found Riverdale Manor!

    We recently had our ceremony and reception at Riverdale. We chose Riverdale as soon as we walked in the doors to visit a year ago. It's stunning (you don't need many added decorations) in itself and it also has a beautiful pavilion as a rain plan! The absolute best part about our experience was Monica and the staff. Their expert planning was so helpful and everything in our day was perfectly executed. They were super accommodating and kept everyone happy. They checked on us constantly and made sure we had every little thing we may need so everything would go smoothly. We can't thank you enough for all the hard work and care that you put into our day!!

    Riverdale was the perfect choice for my husband and I. It is beautiful and has so many options of what to do with it. Monica was amazing from start to finish. She was prompt in responding to emails and answering any questions and eased our minds throughout the entire planning process. She also did an incredible job placing all of my special touches throughout the venue. They had a great list of preferred vendors that made finding vendors so much easier since I came from out of town. All of our guests loved the venue as well and kept asking how I found it because it was an incredible evening that was unique! It was the most perfect day and ran so smoothly because of their wonderful staff. Couldn't recommend Riverdale Manor more!

    I couldn't recommend this venue more highly. Best decision we made when planning the wedding!

    Our wedding was held on December 17, 2016. The day was snowy and a bit icy, but the weather never worried us since we knew we were in good hands with Maureen at Riverdale Manor! They were out shoveling the walkways and parking lot before we got there. There are several options for where to hold your ceremony on the property and we were doing ours in the pavilion anyway, so weather wasn't ever a concern. The pavilion was beautifully lit and warm. We even were able to borrow an archway and some other pieces of decor for our ceremony/cocktail hour. We served hot chocolate at the program station to keep our guests warm.

    When we arrived before the wedding everything was already set up for us - we didn't have to do a thing. We could just get ready and focus on the day ahead. Linda helped Maureen that day and stayed for the duration of the evening and she was delightful. She (and the bartenders) were always making sure we had a drink or anything else that we needed. The food was wonderful! We had kabobs, meat stations, pasta station, and a dessert buffet and everyone enjoyed it. Thyme and Seasons (the official caterer for Riverdale) even made an AMAZING 2 tier naked carrot cake for us at a really affordable price.

    At the end of the night, the staff at Riverdale sent us home with left over entrees and dessert, and also packed up all of our decor so there wasnt really anything for us to do at the end either.

    Everyone at Riverdale was a joy to work with! Maureen, the owner, really knows what she is doing. She has a lot of previous event planning experience and she has wedding planning down to a T. Her staff is professional and friendly. They have specific rules and timings to follow, but for good reasons, and they keep the day stress free and moving forward. Couldn't have had a more wonderful wedding venue! Thank you!

    We absolutely loved working with Riverdale Manor. We planned our wedding while living in VA, and the staff at Riverdale were more than accommodating with the distance and time constraints. They were well organized, and very insightful with planning the timing of the evening. I loved the convenience of the catering and venue being closely connected. Our guests were very impressed with the food, cleanliness of the facility, and how beautifully the staff decorated the space. We are so glad we were able to have our reception there!

    My husband and I were married on 09-Dec-16 and both our ceremony and reception were held at Riverdale. I worked with Monica and she was the absolute best! Monica never seemed flustered, which is the perfect characteristic for working with brides/weddings! She always made me feel like she had everything under control. She was prompt in her email responses, timely with appoints and never seemed annoyed by my questions!

    The setting was perfect for us, as well. It is located along the Conestoga River - so great for outdoor weddings (when warmer) but the ballroom also has a wall of windows that overlooks a stone patio with lanterns. The ballroom was decorated minimally for Christmas, which allowed me to put my own personal touch on the space. The Pavilion, which is where the ceremony was held, was also minimally decorated. It has a wood floor, exposed wood beams, and twinkling string lights. It was just perfect for a December wedding!

    I found the cost of Riverdale to be significantly less than most venues in the area, in terms of what you get for what you pay. The rental fee was very reasonable. The menu (must use Thyme & Seasoning Catering) was extensive and offered a variety of options for all budgets (Buffett, Carving Stations, Plated) My husband and I were very pleased with how the food tasted. (Which is obviously important!) The chicken picatta was hearty and delicious and the horseradish crusted salmon was savory!
    Overall, I cannot say enough great things about the venue and staff. I have no complaints and would highly recommend this venue!

    Riverdale Manor was more than we dreamed of. We fell in love with the site immediately - the lovely lawn by the river and the pavilion full of lights were romantic beyond belief. It felt like a fairy tale. Monica was our coordinator, and I wish she could be present for every major life experience. She had great ideas on how to make the day flow better, and was a calming and thoughtful presence. The food was delicious, so we didn't mind having to go through their caterer. We also appreciated the flexibility to accommodate various food needs (gluten free, vegetarian, etc.) and to save some funds. We also saved a lot of money by getting married on a Sunday in early November, so if that's a concern consider off-season to keep budgets low.

    Maureen helped us every step of the way for our wedding. The food was amazing, the scenery was amazing and all of the helpers were great. The staff set everything up even better than how I pictured it! They made the process leading up to the wedding worry free and the day of absolutely perfect. All I had to worry about was not crying walking down the aisle!

    This venue is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff is unbeatable! My husband and I were able to enjoy every moment of our day because Maureen and her staff made sure everything was taken care of without making us lift a finger! If it wasn't for Maureen and her staff I don't think the wedding would have gone as smoothly as it did!

    The venue is stunning! There is enough space for your guests to walk around and so many options for ceremony space! They have several outside sites, a lovely pavilion (which we chose), and a ballroom, and the best part is that you don't have to share the venue with anyone else! Some venues we visited said they may have other weddings at the same time, but Riverdale Manor only has one wedding at a time so it's just about you and your wedding!

    I can't thank you enough Maureen!!!!

    Riverdale Manor is the perfect spot for a reception! Beyond its stunning natural beauty, it has so many spaces for different types of people to enjoy themselves, the company, and the atmosphere, which is what drew us to it. It has a space where kids can run around, where our grandparents could talk away from the music, where nursing mothers or sleepy babies could have a quiet space – Riverdale has it all!

    We worked with Monica Wagner and she was wonderful – very organized and flexible when last minute changes needed to be made. She gave great suggestions and was always happy to see us and accommodate our questions.

    Easily my favorite spot in Lancaster! Recommend it highly!

    We got married May 29th 2016 and everything was perfect. When looking at wedding venues Riverdale stuck out right away. Once we went on a tour we fell in love! It is a beautiful property, so may amazing options to have the ceremony. We worked with Monica, she promptly answered all of our questions and concerns, calmed me down when I was getting anxious about organization, and constantly checked in with us at the wedding day making sure everything was ok. She brought us food when we were unable to eat because of our guest stopping us and talking to us. The food was amazing our guest kept raving about all of the options and how good everything was! The whole day was so organized and every little detail was put where I imaged it. I highly recommend Riverdale! The staff was attentive, the grounds are gorgeous, and the food was delicious. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect!

    Riverdale is a dream venue! The grounds are gorgeous, the staff is great, and the food is delicious! I planned the wedding from out of town. Monica, the coordinator I worked with, was fabulous! Quick to answer all emails and questions. On the day of, she set up all my decorations and I didn't have to worry about a thing. She worked with all the vendors and the day could not have gone more smoothly, even with a huge thunderstorm right before the ceremony. My guests are still telling me how amazing the place was. Highly recommend to everyone!!

    We just wanted to take the opportunity to send our personal thanks for the professional manner in which the staff at Riverdale Manor carried themselves for Kristin & Dustin’s wedding. Monica was amazing. The support she provided was first class. The rest of the staff was amazing also. They did not hesitate to jump in and help with the moving of the arbor or packing up and loading everything after the event was over. They were all very patient with us as well. The food was amazing.

    We got so many compliments on the venue. Words like “magical” and “breathtaking” were used more than once. We could not have asked for a better experience. Kristin said everything was “perfect” and you can’t expect much more than that from a bride on her wedding day. Please pass along our sincere thanks to your entire staff. We will certainly recommend your venue to anyone looking for a special place to have their wedding.

    Our wedding could not have been better. Monica, our wedding planner was amazing. The staff was friendly and professional. The food was worth every penny we spent. The atmosphere and the setting made our day not only special for that day but we will have memories that will last forever. Deb our photographer from Annie Sharp photography was awesome. We used Damien from a local radio station who made everyone wanting to dance and have a great time. There is not a better facility to get married. Every star is well earned and anyone planning a wedding will not look at another site once they see the grounds.

    Riverdale Manor is AMAZING! We had our wedding there on April 1, 2016 and our reception exceeded our expectations. The whole night was so organized, flowed well and went perfectly. We worked with Monica throughout the planning process and we cannot say enough positive things about her! I highly highly recommend this GORGEOUS venue! Not only is it beautiful, but the food is amazing and the staff goes above and beyond. We wish we could re-live our wedding all over again!

    Riverdale Manor was one of the most beautiful venues we've ever seen. We are so happy we got married there! Monica was very helpful especially since we planned our wedding from afar. She was timely and got us prepared for the big day! Our wedding day was seamless and we couldn't have been luckier.

    My fiancé and I are getting married at Riverdale over the summer. We just had our tasting and were very pleased! If you are are Riverdale bride choosing your menu right now, we especially recommend the Pomodore Pollo and the grilled eggplant salad: DEEEELICIOUS! Our coordinator is Maureen, and we have been really enjoying getting to know her. She has a ton of experience and really knows her stuff. She also has a fun sense of humor, which we love! If Riverdale has any negative reputation in reviews, it's that people have said that there are a lot of rules and regulations. I would like to address that. So far, I have found the regulations to be relatively minor, and totally reasonable. I honestly do believe that the sheer amount of events that they hold gives them a lot of insight as to which regulations are going to make your wedding go without a hitch. I haven't asked for anything really important that Maureen said she couldn't or wouldn't accommodate. I look forward to leaving another review and addressing that again after our actual wedding, but I'd like to say: so far, so good!!! P.S. This place is GORGEOUS during the winter season and can accommodate any weather condition perfectly. We just visited for our tasting, and I have to tell you that I was almost wishing we had booked a winter wedding there...that's how gorgeous it is! They are also offering a great discount now for remaining Sundays in 2016! Please have a visit, you won't be disappointed!

    very pleased with everything at Riverdale Manor! They did a wonderful job with my sisters wedding. The DJ was great, the photo booth from Shining Star Photo Booth was terrific, and the food was to die for. The flowers and decor looked perfect. Riverdale Manor is a spectacular venue.

    We held our ceremony and reception at Riverdale and were so pleased with every detail. We worked with Monica, who was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. She was timely with answering my many questions and was always cheerful and helpful. On our wedding day, there was always someone nearby to take care of anything we needed. The setting and buildings were so beautiful and had such an intimate feeling even with 130+ of our friends and family. As for the food, we did stations and everything was absolutely delicious! Two months later I am still getting compliments on how good the food was which isn't always the factor with wedding food. I am extremely pleased with everything from planning to how smoothly things went the day of the wedding!

    Riverdale Manor provided exceptional service! We worked with primarily with Troy for our event, but all the staff we encounter were super helpful and friendly. The property is naturally beautiful. The reception opens up to an outside pavilion and patio where most of our guests mingled throughout the night. The food was excellent, we had stations-pasta, kebabs, and carving. We also had popcorn and ice cream. Everyone loved the food and venue site!

    Riverdale Manor was absolutely beautiful, and my whole wedding experience there turned out perfect. The staff is amazing, and they take great care in making sure your big day turns out exactly the way you want it. They set everything up, and take everything down for you. The food they supply from Thyme and Seasons catering is wonderful. All of my guests were very impressed with it. They always have some sort of flowers blooming, or they have it decorated in a way that the whole place looks gorgeous no matter what month you are getting married in. It truly is a perfect place to get married at.

    Riverdale is an incredible place to have a wedding and reception. Maureen helped us fit everything within our budget. She was easy to communicate with. Having an on site coordinator the day made everything run so smoothly. The food was amazing. Riverdale is highly recommended any time of year they can accommodate any situation!

    My husband and I are from Baltimore, Maryland, but were struggling to find an affordable venue for our massive guest list in the Baltimore-DC area. We knew Riverdale would be about a 2 hour hike for most of our guests, so we were concerned about whether or not it would be "worth it" while we were on our way to our first venue visit.

    Needless to say, it was beyond worth it. This place is absolutely gorgeous and the staff could not be more fun, helpful, and professional. We worked with Monica and she was absolutely instrumental in helping me maintain my sanity through the wedding planning process. She was always available to answer my questions and make adjustments when I was being a little spazzy and indecisive.

    The day itself was simply glorious. Monica completely brought my dream to life and the staff were completely on point. Everyone spent the day making sure Tyler and I had everything the way we wanted it, even if it complicated things a little more for them (sorry, guys). They even packed everything up for us at the end of the night! Our bridal party and family who had stayed behind to help pack up were shocked that they didn't have to lift a finger!

    Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was. Some even admitted to me that they were cursing us a little bit while they were stuck in traffic on the drive up, but they all said the venue took their breath away when they got there. Riverdale has lights strewn on the trees and in the pavilion and gazeebo that they turn on without extra cost or even having to be asked. When night falls, the venue goes from gorgeous to fairy tale. It's spectacular!

    Thyme & Seasons catering prepares DELICIOUS food, as well. Everything is served warm and seasoned to perfection. It's marvelous.

    You'd think all of this perfection would cost an arm and a leg, but it was super affordable!

    I can't say enough good things about Riverdale Manor. Our coordinator Monica was AMAZING-- so helpful, so on-top of every detail, and such a pleasure to work with. She answered every one of my (many) questions promptly and always with a smile, and was incredibly helpful in figuring out all the details of the wedding. Best wedding coordinator EVER!
    Riverdale is such a stunning location, and both Riverdale and Thyme & Seasons (caterer) were great to work with. I'd been nervous reading reviews about them being strict but I honestly can't think of a single thing I wanted to do that rules would have prohibited. They were very flexible in creating the menu, allowing me to DIY as much of the room details as I wanted to do, and did a fantastic job setting everything up. Just walking into the room while they were setting up the morning of almost got me all teary-eyed it was so beautiful.
    The wedding was beyond my wildest dreams and I know that Riverdale and Monica were a huge part of making the day the best of my life! Thank you!

    PERFECT WEDDING VENUE! Riverdale Manor is secluded, beautiful, intimate, cozy, and extremely convenient for guests of all ages. Everything you could possibly need in one location - and one level (no steps) made it easily accessible for any elderly and handicapped guests. Warm and cozy - even in the middle of winter. And although the weather outside was gloomy (seriously rained ALL day), the minute you stepped through the door, it was magical. The white lights twinkled and sparkled all over the property. Maureen and Kate were amazing. They helped us think of everything (in a non-stressful way), and we truly did not have to worry or think about a single thing on THE wedding day. We would give 100 stars if we could! Thank you for giving us a beautiful day to remember and treasure forever!

    Troy was my coordinator at Riverdale. The venue was absolutely gorgeous. We used the gazebo space for our late November wedding and the farmhouse for our reception. The space needs very little decorating due to its innate beauty. Troy was more than amazing functioning as a wedding coordinator. The food was (as I was told by MANY of my guests) by far the best food at a wedding ever. It is well worth the cost and I highly recommend the venue!

    Maureen and her staff allowed my husband and I to have our perfect wedding. The venue at Riverdale is phenomenal- there are so many options! We had our wedding on the grass, cocktail hour in the pavillion and reception in the ballroom. I never wanted an outdoor wedding as the weather was a concern, but seeing what Riverdale had to offer, I couldn't pass it up. Most of our guests were from out of town and were blown away Riverdale. We received endless compliments, and everyone had a great time!

    Riverdale Manor is the most gorgeous venue to have your ceremony and reception. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Troy was our coordinator and from day one he was so helpful and prompt and professional but also very personable. My now husband is an officer in the Army and was in Georgia and then Louisiana during the whole year and a half of planning before our wedding. Troy was so incredibly flexible and understanding when I couldn't give him answers about setting up meetings until last minute because I waiting to figure out when my fiancé could come home. Troy made not having my fiancé around to help make decisions so much easier and I really appreciated his help and input with things. He really knows what he is doing and he made our wedding day go off so smoothly. It was absolutely beautiful. I couldn't be more happy with choosing to get married at Riverdale Manor.

    The staff at Riverdale Manor are absolute pros at everything they do. I had the pleasure of working with both Monica and Troy to coordinate my wedding and their level of professionalism, attentiveness were probably the best I've ever experienced, not to mention they are just about the best kind of people you would want to be helping you on your big day. They went above and beyond to make my wedding day stress-free and seamless. Every detail was taken care of and never ignored, I felt so relieved to know that I could trust them with even the littlest details that only a overly-conscious graphic designer like myself would notice. They deserve so much credit for my wedding.

    Aside from the wonderful service you would get at Riverdale Manor, let's not forget how beautiful the venue is. I love that the venue is nested in a dead-end, and for that one day, that beautiful piece of land is all yours. It has the perfect balance of charming and rustic but modern enough to be comfortable with clean facilities and beautifully landscaped grounds. The whole set-up of the venue was absolutely perfect to hang out with your guests and be under a more intimate and personal setting. I can honestly tell you that me and my husband actually hung out with every single one of our guests and we had about 100 guests. The set-up is great for just chilling and hanging out.

    The food was also delicious. I've been to a lot of weddings, and usually wedding food isn't that great but I can honestly say the food at Riverdale Manor is restaurant quality. I received a lot of positive feedback and everyone was very satisfied including myself. The dessert buffet was AWESOME.

    For any newly-engaged folks out there, I would recommend this venue in a heartbeat. The staff are exceptional, the venue is beautiful and the food is yummy. You have the best of everything here.

    Riverdale was the first and only venue we looked at!! Fell in love and booked our date on the spot. I love that they let you build your own menu, it's a great way for you to control your own costs. Troy was our planner... he was awesome!!! I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Troy made my job so easy! He helped me every step of the way. I never felt stressed or like my questions went unanswered. He was so quick at getting back to me via e-mail (which we mostly used since we are from out of town). The venue is amazing! The food was great! Our guests had nothing but the best things to say. We are thrilled that we went with Riverdale. Our wedding was fantastic!!!!

    I'm not sure there is anything I can put in this toy box that can express how much I loved our experience at Riverdale Manor! We live in MA so the entire wedding was planned remotely, with us having only 2 visits to Riverdale prior to our wedding rehearsal the day before the wedding. Maureen and the entire staff took care of everything for us! From setting everything up, to taking everything down and packing it up for us at the end of the night. And the food - amazing! All my wedding guests commented on how good the food was! They all also commented on how gorgeous the entire facility is, and I couldn't agree more! We had the most perfect wedding day, and I can't thank Riverdale Manor enough for that!

    Riverdale Manor made wedding planning a breeze! We worked with Monica and she was incredibly helpful with every aspect of wedding planning. She allowed me to ask tons of questions and always was very quick with her responses. Riverdale was incredibly flexible and made us feel like we were the only couple they were working with. On our wedding day, Monica was extremely helpful with maintaining the flow of the whole evening. The staff was very professional and all of our guests spoke very highly of everyone who helped them. The food was UNBELIEVABLE! Overall, I would highly recommend using Riverdale Manor! We wouldn't have changed a thing :)
