We are thrilled with our choice of The River View for our wedding! From the moment we stepped onto the property, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding day. The stunning views and beautiful space provided a breathtaking backdrop for both our ceremony and reception.
The venue and catering staff were incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the entire planning process. They ensured everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding, which allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment. The venue was impeccably maintained, and the setup was exactly how we envisioned it.

Tommy Sent on 09/28/2023Dream Venue on the Occoquan River
The River View at Occoquan is an absolutely stunning venue in a pocket of Northern Virginia we didn't even know existed (until our wedding planner suggested it to us as a potential wedding site and ultimately was the perfect location for our big day).
River View offers the intimacy for a private wedding, while easily accommodating 150-200 guests, and provides the perfect backdrop of the Occoquan river for any outdoor ceremony/event. We were so impressed by the food, the service, and the overall experience provided by the team!
Despite the logistical challenges of planning a Virginia wedding from the West Coast (we live in Los Angeles), it was a smooth process working with the River...The River View's reply:
Tommy, we were so honored to be part of your special day, we wish you and Michael the very best! Thank you for your kind words! -

We had such a wonderful experience working with Hannah and the River View team! We had so many changes leading up to out wedding due to Covid and rain, and they were so on top of everything! It is such a beautiful venue both indoors and outdoors! -

Tugce Sent on 07/28/2022Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish
If you pick River View, you will not be disappointed. The venue itself is absolutely a dream, but Cori and Fern definitely make it worthwhile. They were always so responsive and so helpful, even offering us things the venue just had from over the years. Their added guidance was/is unmatched.
The Great Blue Heron is the caterer for all of the Nova Parks, and even though they are an automatic booking their services are also top notch. Every person I talked to after the fact raved about how delicious the food was.
Overall, if you are considering River View - pick it, you won't regret it. -

So my wife and I toured the River View in February of 2019 and we instantly loved the venue when we walked into the building. We first met with Cori and her team, she gave us a thorough rundown of the venue. She was so friendly and patient with our questions. She explained at that time that the River View was a new venue. We were excited that it was recently build and the scenery in the area wowed us, especially since it's on the river bank. We were so impressed, we signed a contract the next day to reserve our wedding for April of 2020. We wanted to try their catering partner, Great Blue Heron, so we went... -

Kathryn Sent on 09/16/2021The River View is IT.
I live in Philadelphia, but knew I wanted to get married where I grew up. I toured the River View in February of 2020, and because the staff was so warm and the space was so stunning, booked it immediate for 9/18/2020. Then COVID erupted, and I can’t say enough good things about Cori, Fern, and the rest of the team at the River View. They helped us reschedule (twice) and were there for us when we were finally able to celebrate in person on 9/3/21. Every single detail was thought of and managed. Cori & Fern answered questions for us before we were able to ask. We got so lucky that the first venue we toured was this... -

Luciana Sent on 08/08/2021Great venue and team!
The staff at the River View is absolutely incredible! Unfortunately we had to cancel our wedding due to the pandemic and travel restrictions, but the team at RV was great leading up to the event and in working with us to reschedule and eventually cancel. Cori and Fern are extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and already have the answer to your question before you've thought to ask it. The space is also, of course, beautiful and what sold us in the first place. The catering is also excellent and we enjoyed the tasting. Highly recommend the River View for your party needs! -

Jenna Sent on 07/26/2021Beautiful Location and Wonderful Staff
Fantastic! The team at the River View was truly amazing at every step of the way. They were very communicative and helpful during the planning process; and made sure that I had nothing to worry about on the day of the event. The food from Great Blue Heron (their contracted catering team) was soooo good, all our guests had rave reviews! The bar tending team also was cranking out the most amazing drinks that left our guests speechless. It is a beautiful venue, in a great location, and they have a fantastic service team on top of it! I couldn’t have asked for anything better. -

Jenna Sent on 11/17/2020Best venue!
I threw more than a few temper tantrums towards my now husband insisting upon this venue and wow I’m so glad I did and only a little ashamed about it.
This place is gorgeous at all times of the year. The building itself is such a nice modern vibe it’s a nice change from all the barns in this area! The windows are so gorgeous and the view of the river is perfect! I love all of our pics from this place! -

Amy Sent on 08/17/2020Our wedding was perfect!!
Everyone we met at the venue was absolutely AMAZING!! Their communication was awesome and they were always so quick to respond to any questions we had. Working with them was just such a delight and I believe the staff really enjoys what they do. They took such great care of us on our wedding day and they were so flexible especially because we had to move the ceremony indoors about an hour before the guests arrived. They recommended vendors where we needed them too and they were just so helpful with everything. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and exactly what we envisioned! And they’re very dog friendly which is great because we had our pup in our wedding... -

Biz E. Sent on 02/29/2020This was an easy choice for me
I got married here in February of 2020, and I am so glad I chose this venue! Their team answered my questions promptly whenever I asked. I had tons of access to the venue during the planning process, and there were a million great places for photo ops. The day of my wedding went perfectly, and I felt very well attended by the whole staff. -

Melanie Sent on 10/12/2019Absolutely Stunning & Perfect!
My husband and I got married here on 09/06/2019. We had an AMAZING experience! The staff, particularly Cori and Liz, were extremely helpful, responsive, and worked with us throughout the whole process. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The venue was STUNNING! We had our ceremony outside with a gorgeous view of the river. The reception area inside is extremely spacious and has plenty of natural lighting with all of the windows. Great Blue Heron is their caterer and the food was outstanding. We received so many compliments from our guests about the venue, staff, and food. I had the wedding of my dreams thanks to The River View at Occoquan! I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Thank you for everything!The River View's reply:
You're an angel, Melanie! Thank you for the kind review and choosing us to host your family and friends. -

Narise Sent on 09/03/2019Stunning Venue & Professional Team
We took a chance on the River View and booked it when it was still a floor plan and muddy outside and we are so happy that we snagged a spot at the River View before it booked up quickly. We cannot say enough about this venue!!! The space is absolutely stunning, both inside and outside. We had our wedding there in early August 2019 and it was an absolute delight. Cori is super(!!!) professional and responsive to all email correspondence and was always available by phone as well. Liz of the GBHC (caterers) was also very responsive to our many changes/ updates to our requests. All of our guests raved about the gorgeous venue and it was an...The River View's reply:

We had our wedding at The River View on June 14th. It was beyond amazing! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the coordinators are awesome! During the whole wedding process, Cori was in constant contact with me, answering all of my many questions. The day went off without a hitch and all of the guests loved the venue too! I would highly recommend this venueThe River View's reply:

Heidi Sent on 02/26/2019This venue has it all! We would highly recommend it
We can't say enough about how much we loved the River View. From our very first tour (while it was still under construction) to communication after the event, Cori and Kaila were incredibly competent and easy to work with. We were easily able to coordinate in person, through emails, and through phone calls. No matter what the detail was (like scheduling walk through with four different people's schedules in mind, coordinating with our event designers, providing platters to our baker, sending me photos of what pre-plated salads would look like because I couldn't decide, working on lighting the day of, answering endless questions, etc.) Cori and Kaila were professional and always knew what to do. We were so grateful...The River View's reply:
You're so precious, thank you for the high praise! We strive to make planning as seamless as possible for our couples. Happy to hear you and Danny loved your experience! -

Wendy Sent on 10/28/2018beautiful location & amazing service and food!
This venue was absolutely... AMAZING! It's such a beautiful venue, inside and out! I just had my wedding on 10/19 and it was just so beautiful! This venue has a large bridal room and the groom can hangout at a little modern "club house" outside. Complete privacy and the venue is so spacious, with very modern designs.
The service of EVERYONE prior to the big day, on the day of the wedding was great too! From the first time we went to do a tour, to the walk through, setting up tables on the day of, wait staff, bartender... everyone was extremely nice, caring and very professional. No one complained about any service and the interactions all feel...The River View's reply:

This is the one
Beautiful. Spacious. Breathtaking. Once in a lifetime memory that will never be forgotten by us or our guests. Any and all other adjectives that can describe the perfect venue should be used.
The venue was absolutely gorgeous. It was the perfect location for our wedding. We had almost given up and settled on another venue, but we had a feeling that the right venue had to be out there. With River View, you have a capacity of 400+, modern building, incredibly tall ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, waterfront for beautiful photos, pristine wooden floors, gold chiavari chairs, amazing team (Cori and Fern), exclusive caterer Great Blue Heron (who nailed all the service and food), and the list goes on and on. -
