My husband and I had a small intimate wedding at Riviera Vines and loved the entire experience. I am not the ballroom over the top type of bride nor am I the rustic barn bride so this was a perfect option. We and our guests had so much fun. The venue had a huge newly renovated bridal suite for me and my bridal party to sip and slowly get ready. They had so many cute spaces and you can tell a lot of thought was given to the wedding experience. You get so much included for the price. If you are sick of barns and looking for something super cute and different, this is the place!
