We had our wedding reception at River City and it surpassed our every expectation. People still come up to us and tell us we had the best wedding they have ever attended. Megan and Christina were both amazing. So organized, helpful, kind and enthusastic. They always went the extra mile when we had a request or question to help us find answers and make it happen. We having nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience with them. We even got to do our food tasting twice because there was a new chef and they wanted to make sure he cooked everything the same as we had agreed upon before. We literally had minimal things to stress about they took care of everything. The reception was decorated exactly how we wanted and absolutely stunning. The whole staff at River City did an amazing job taking care of us and all of our guests and everything ran smoothly. We had the most perfect day and my husband and I recommend River City to every engaged couple we know and talk to! You will not be disappointed!

The Little Bevo was the perfect venue for our small, themed wedding. The owner, Nicholas, was extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the planning process and on our big day, ensuring everything ran smoothly. His communication was timely and thoughtful. The venue space was intimate yet spacious enough for our 50 guests, with charming vintage details that aligned perfectly with our vision. For the quality and uniqueness of the venue, the pricing was very reasonable. We couldn't have asked for a better space or a more dedicated owner to host our special day. Nicholas' attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile made our wedding day truly memorable and stress-free. We would highly recommend The Little Bevo to any couple looking for great service and a one-of-a-kind venue with plenty of character.

Choosing this venue was the best decision we made for our big day. Grbic was outstanding!! From touring, securing, planning, tasting, then day of hosting…all was seriously top notch. Not only are our guests saying how beautiful our wedding and reception were but they cannot stop talking about the food!! The food was out of this world. Best food at a wedding..period. The staff was also so friendly and professional. The coordinator helped us out with so many great ideas too. Like mentioned, we made the absolute best decision going with Grbic. Worth every penny. They will also exceed all your expectations!
