“Words cannot express how wonderful of an experience it was having our wedding at the Riverside Receptions in Geneva, IL. From start to finish Amy, Renee and Marcia were so helpful and supportive. The venue is stunning directly located off the river. We had our wedding on Sunday, July 3, 2022 with a courtyard ceremony and indoor reception with panoramic view of the river. Everything was just perfect. I strongly recommend this venue to anyone looking for something different from the banquet style wedding with a great elegant touch. 5 stars”

“We had our wedding on October 12, 2019 and it was a dream come true. Throughout our entire planning process, The Bend was so incredibly helpful with every single part of it and made everything so much less stressful. From the big details all the way to the smallest little details everything was PERFECT. Mykenzie made us feel like we were truly living a fairytale on our wedding day!
