  Beautiful Venue that Simplifies the Wedding Process

  We got married at the Riverhouse in April and it was a perfect experience. We were initially going to do a backyard wedding and quickly into the planning process realized how much work it was coordinating a bunch vendors and figuring out who would do what on the day of. That all changed when we decided to switch our venue to the Riverhouse. They simplified everything! Here's the highlights:
  
  (1) Melody is amazing. She's the Convention Services Manager and guides the couple through everything they need to know about the venue and coordinates on the day. This was great as she was in touch with our vendors, helped determine the timeline for the day, ran the rehearsal, and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of. She's got years of experience running events and it shows.
  
  (2) They have delicious food that comes with your venue. All of our guests raved about how good it was. We went with the plated option as it was so nice for our guests to be able to served at their table AND it was cheaper than the buffet.
  
  (3) They set-up all the tables, chairs, linens, place settings and can assist with other items so that on the day of you can come in and add your personal items. That saved us so much time to know that we weren't needing to coordinate a large group to get everything in place. They also take everything down, which was AMAZING to not have to do at the end of the night.
  
  (4) It's really convenient for guests to be able to stay at the same venue as the wedding. Our guests really enjoyed that. We also did their brunch option the next morning and it was so great to get everyone together to say goodbye and once again the food was so good!
  
  We would definitely recommend the Riverhouse and looking forward to coming back for a visit on a future anniversary.

  Absolutely incredible!

  The team at Riverhouse on the Deschutes was, as said in the title, absolutely incredible. I cannot say enough amazing things about everyone. From Nicole who walked us through what everything may look like and cost, to our amazing Riverhouse wedding coordinator, Melody, who was my right hand through all of the planning and the executing of our fabulous wedding day, even to the on-site staff for our stay at the Riverhouse before and after the wedding day. If my husband and I could live this wedding again 100 times over, we absolutely would. Every person does everything they can do be understanding and accommodating in order to provide the very best experience and wedding possible. I am eternally grateful to everyone at the Riverhouse and loved them before this experience, but now I am head over heels in love.

  Choosing a venue

  Nicole has a very pleasant disposition and seems like all the planning will go smoothly with her handling things.

  The Riverhouse Hotel was the perfect venue for our mini destination wedding. We live in Washington and most of our family is in California, so Bend was the perfect in between. The Riverhouse was amazing because everything was right there for the guests. They had their rooms, a restaurant, a bar, the river, and many restaurants and stores within walking distance. It was really nice having all of our family and friends in one place for several days. The Riverhouse was super accommodating and Nicole, the event manager, made planning the wedding so easy! She has a ton of experience and it shows - I would email her questions big and small and she would always have a great answer or solution. I could not have asked for a better venue. Also - The food! It was so good from the rehearsal dinner to the wedding. All of our guests were complimenting the food and it made it so easy to have our venue and food be the same. It was one less thing to coordinate. I would highly recommend The Riverhouse. It is beautiful and the staff are amazing to work with.

  This was a beautiful venue, however it's a little spendy. I had a fairytale wedding there though! :)
