    Wonderful place for our wedding

    We truly enjoyed our wedding at riverside event center! The space was easy to decorate because it is already beautiful. We enjoyed doing everything at one location. Robin and her staff were wonderful to work to work with and very accommodating.

    Go ahead and book it

    If this venue has found its place on your list of potentials, just go ahead and have your wedding here!! I got married October 22nd and I relied on Robin and her team to find all vendors, set up, and coordinate the whole day. I was extremely happy with the vendors, the expertise of everyone involved, the attention to detail and the positive energy from everyone involved. Robin was incredibly helpful on the day of and did things I wouldn’t have expected such as putting my veil on, helping with my bustle, and overall just making sure I had a great day. This venue goes above and beyond, not to mention the mountain views and adorable areas to take photos nearby like The Flowering Bridge. We love Riverside event center and we will definitely consider using it for any events our family could have in the future. Thank you so much Robin 💜

    Fantastic Experience

    Working with Robin and Calyssa has been the highlight of our wedding planning process. The venue itself is perfect in terms of size, ceremony options, views, decor, and adaptability. All that paired with Robin and Calyssa's extensive wedding planning experience make Riverside a dream place to get married. Every step of the process was smooth, professional, friendly, and relieving knowing we were in good hands. Rather than pump out the same event over and over, they go to great lengths to make each event unique and special. I cannot recommend them enough!

    Excellent Event Space, Service and Value

    My wife and I selected Riverside to host a welcome dinner for about 80 wedding guests during our wedding weekend. We coordinated with Robin and the team at Riverside and they were very responsive and helpful. The venue is a great location and the service provided was excellent in advance and the day of. The bar prices were also very reasonable. Overall, we would definitely recommend this event space.

    Riverside Event Center's reply:

    Thank you so much Todd we really appreciate the kind words! You were wonderful to deal with and we wish you much happiness with your family!

    Stress Free Wedding Day!

    LOVED working with Riverside Event Center for my Wedding Ceremony! Robin and her team made the whole experience stress free and perfect! Robin is so well organized and so helpful! The customer service is top notch! Although it rained on my wedding day, it didn't damper the experience at all. The space is beautiful and had plenty of space to do photos inside and a few outside for my January Wedding. I would recommend Riverside Event Center to anyone looking for quality customer service, beautiful location, and wedding expertise!

    Robin and her family made our wedding day perfect. From the moment we walked into Riverside last year, Robin and her family felt like our family. My wedding day at Riverside was beyond anything I could have imagined. Every detail went off without a hitch, even though it rained and we moved the ceremony inside. Robin is an expert coordinator. I am so grateful to Riverside for allowing us to have the most magical wedding day. I would recommend this venue to absolutely anyone and everyone. We have gotten compliments from so many guests about the venue, from how beautiful it was to how kind and excellent everyone running the show was. Thank you so much for everything you did for us!

    We had our wedding at the Riverside Events Center on April 28, 2018. Robin and her family helped everything go smoothly as planned! The place is beautiful on the inside with a wonderful view of chimney rock for an affordable price. Our wedding looked like we spent way more than we did because of this amazing venue. Robin is very responsive and always trys her best to help the bride and groom! I am so happy we picked this venue and I wouldn’t change a thing! I recommend it for sure! :)

    We just had our wedding there 2 weeks ago and it was perfect. They were so awesome through the whole process, especially the weekend of. They made sure everything kept running smoothly and made sure we were getting exactly what we wanted every step of the way. They were super supportive and accommodating of us having our dog there as the ring bearer too! Thank you so much Robin and Calyssa!

    What a great time! This venue was exactly the right mix of beautiful scenery outdoors and beautiful atmosphere inside. Robin was so professional and helped us make decisions that made the whole event come together. The food was "the best I have ever had at a wedding!" to steal a comment I heard many times throughout the day. My daughter's wedding was "perfect" to quote her!

    Beautiful Location and great staff. When our officiant didn't show up, they reached out to a few that they knew and found someone who could do it. They really worked with us to make our day beautiful and go as smoothly as possible. We would definelty recommend Riverside Event Center to any other couples
