My husband and I had our wedding at the Riverside Hotel this past month and we could not have been happier. From start to finish we have had nothing but the best experience. Everyone that works there has gone above and beyond to help us with even the smallest details. It is such a beautiful property with multiple ceremony and receptions locations on property. The process and communication with the hotel was very easy. The sales and catering manager, Rachel Greenfader, was the absolute best. I don't have the words to describe how incredible she was throughout this entire process. She is so trustworthy and helpful that you feel and do leave with a lifelong friend. My husband and I could not be more grateful to her for her with how much she goes above and beyond to make sure you have the experience of a lifetime. Daniela Almeida was in charge of our room accommodations and she was amazing. So helpful and patient with us through all of our questions and emails. Last, but not least the valet team is fantastic. They were so kind and always lending a helping hand to us bringing in our wedding DIYs. Daniel in particular was such a friendly and helpful valet attendant. Overall, we highly recommend booking the Riverside Hotel for any event. We would choose here a million times over!
