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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely LOVED working with Grbic Events. Lejla (the wedding coordinator) was so fabulous and helped the day run as smoothly as possible. She went above and beyond to make sure my wedding vision came fruition. The night of the event she was out of the floor and her team was constantly checking in and making sure everyone had what they needed. The team was so great to work with and I would 10/10 recommend this event space for any event. The event space is gorgeous and the outdoor area really helps accommodate for large weddings. We had about 300 people and it never felt too full or crowded. We got so many compliments on the food. The food was delicious and everyone loved that it was a little different than typical wedding food. This event space is spectacular and I would highly recommend it to any bride!
