Awarded Best of Zola
My partner and I got married in September 2024 at Rivers Edge. We selected this location because we wanted an outdoor wedding and the grounds and river were a perfect space for us. The accommodations of the slab, tent, tables, chairs, and lights were all integral to our wedding being a success. Tanya is a down to Earth person and we are as well, so that worked very well for us. Tanya was always responsive and accommodating. All of our guests commented on the beauty of the grounds and the space. Everything was easy to manage and clean up. I can't recommend enough if you want a nice, chill wedding or event with beautiful nature surrounding you with creature comforts like the get-ready rooms, slab tent, and generator for power. Also close enough to town/stores in case you forgot anything you needed!
