The Riverview Wedding and Event Center

The venue is beautiful and the staff did a good job with the exception of the DJ, who claims to be the owner, but is reportedly the owner’s brother. Either way, he should think twice about cutting off songs specifically requested by the bride. Not to mention that he was very talented at clearing the dance floor. My advice is to hire an outside DJ if you plan to use these facilities.

I had my wedding at the Riverview in June. The location was very beautiful, the people were nice, and the price was right. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. I opted for the package which included the site, photographer, flowers, and «coordination.»
The flowers were very different from what I had discussed with the florist. They refused to produce a sample prior to the day of the wedding. Even though I had to provide sample pictures of what I wanted, the arrangements were very different than what I had requested. They encouraged me to go with fake flowers for certain flowers and insisted that no one would be able to tell. They looked awful. They also forgot an arrangement (the one over the archway).
I also had a problem with the pictures. I did save alot of money, however I am very dissatisfied. My husband’s head was cut off in many of our portraits and there were many other pictures with framing issues. The dimensions of the pictures are non-​standard which makes it difficult to order prints and many required cropping/​re-​sizing. Also, we were told that by booking their recommended photographer, we would be able to take waterfront pictures, which never happened.
Finally, there are cars in the background of many of my pictures including the ones where the bridal party enters. I wish that the «coordination» would have included a warning that cars would be allowed to park behind the arch. So I’d like to give a warning to any bride who is considering this site, that if you don’t want cars in the pictures of your father escorting you down the aisle, consider adding an apparatus/​decoration that would hide them. I’m not sure how much coordination was actually done for me as it seemed that my sister-​in-​law and bridesmaids tackled most of the problems that came up (and chose not to tell me about some).
Overall, we had a fantastic wedding and everyone had tons of fun. The important parts of the day went well. These are just the little things that happened that made it a little more stressful than it already was. Caution to the detail oriented bride.

Beautiful setting and wonderful owners! Small wedding of 50 guests. Riverview handled it all! Photos, music, flowers, dinner, beverages & no-​host bar. Completely shaded in July heat. Caribbean menu that was very yummy! Hope this is the type of place our children choose when they marry.

Went to The River View Event Center for a wedding Great location, Poor Poor Poor service, under staffed. All the food was cold by the time it made it to the table. the reason they charge 20% tip in advance is because they wouldn’t receive a tip if it was base on service. save your

I went for Mother’s Day and had a great brunch, the stuffed berry french toast was so good– melted in my mouth. The other menu items looked awesome too, I want to try the Thai Tacos next time.
Our table sat right on the River and we were surrounded by trees and vines and of course the sacramento river. The whole eating area is totally outdoors with an awesome view.
I can see how this would make a great wedding location, it was a perfect place for a special occasion — we did Mom’s day brunch. Call before heading out, as I think they have select hours and are open for special occasions only. Perfectly unique and totally special — plus great food.
