We got married Friday, October 21st, and everything was so perfect. I fell in love with the venue the moment I stepped into it and the all-inclusive package was a life saver for all of the immense wedding stress. It was so nice to know that I had someone working for me with the wedding planning from the food, to the DJ, to day of coordination. A huge selling point that we loved was the photo booth!
All of our guests had the most amazing time getting to sneak into the photo booth with the affinity provided props and got their pictures printed right then and there! It was a huge talking point of our wedding.
The grounds and venue are just absolutely breath taking. Tracy and Mark truly know their stuff and do a great job of setting everything up and making the day of as stress free as I could possibly imagine. We loved the mimosas as we were getting ready and the guys loved the whiskey/cigar bar. The food too....oh my gosh! We got the pasta bar and we had SO many people tell us how amazing it was and that it's the best wedding food they had ever tasted.
The DJ, Erin, was PHENOMINAL!!!! She helped make everything so light hearted and fun and helped us make all of our ideas a reality from coordinating our ideas to even playing almost every song we sent from our playlist!! Every staff member was very professional and worked very hard to ensure we had the best day possible -- and we definitely did.
Thank you again, Mark and Tracy, for everything!

This venue was amazing from start to finish was exceptional. Traci and her team helped us pan every detail and were very professional. From the exceptional outdoor venue to the DJ that helped us party till we were exhausted to the bartender that took care of our guests to the amazing food that Traci prepared from scratch herself. The whole experience was very stress free and down to an art. They are the one to pick for your special day. We are fortunate to find a venue that meet our needs and made us feel like part of the family. Thank you so much for making our day truly memorable. We highly recommend them to make your day just as memorable as our day. Thank you again to Traci and all of her team. Job well done. Chris and David Fortner
My daughter got married here and like any wedding there were a couple hiccups (huge unexpected storm, mic trouble, lights went out, etc) but Affinity went above and beyond to make sure everything was ok, including moving the dance floor last minute because of the storm and they even included my favorite wine in bridal suite. Not to mention they went above and beyond when it came to my food allergies. I can honestly say the people at affinity feel more like family now than just a face. Thanks, Tracy, Teresa and everyone else, we appreciate all you did.
This place is incredible! From the very first moment we reached out to our special day, the venue owners, Tracy and Mark, were the most amazing people to work with! They truly go above and beyond to make your day exactly how you want it. What I really loved was that they did the catering, the decor, and the DJ. Instead of having to work with a bunch of different vendors, I only had to work with them. That takes so much stress off us as a couple. The amazing part about the owners is they really take the time to get to know you, your style, and what your relationship is like. They truly care for their couples, and the grounds are beautiful!!!
Affinity Riverside Estate is an EXCEPTIONAL place to have your wedding! They offer their own catering and DJ so you only have to pay one bill and don't have to communicate with a million different companies. Tracy was absolutely spectacular and basically doubles as a coordinator. She made sure everything happened when it was supposed to, and she even found me a new bakery when my cake got cancelled TWO DAYS before my wedding. Very easy to work with and made the whole planning part a lot less stressful! Not to mention the indoor and outdoor parts of the venue are all beautiful. We had our ceremony outdoors and reception indoors and it was perfect!
We wanted a intimate setting with a rustic feel- this venue was exactly that. I called and was able to talk to the owner immediately and set up a preview! Tracy went through all my options for booking and offered a one stop shop experience- they have an amazing in house cater that made the process seamless. Tracy was there through the entire 6 month engagement, answering all my silly questions. The day of was perfect and everything I hopped it would be. Tracy and mark pour everything into their place - and it shows. Highly recommend
Affinity was the perfect venue for us! Tracy and Mark were attentive and made sure we were happy with every decision made. It would be dang near impossible to find a venue this beautiful and owners this accommodating anywhere else in Missouri.
love this venue for my daughter wedding
You do not only get one of the most unique venues when you book Affinity, but you also get the most genuine, kind, helpful, hardworking, and flexible owners. New owners Tracy and Mark have done so many upgrades to the venue to make it even more beautiful and unique. Multiple guests said they wished they could have had their wedding here. If you are looking for a venue for around 200 guests--look no further! You will not regret booking Affinity.
NEW OWNERS! As of February, 2016, the venue known as Affinity Ballroom is under new ownership and is now the Affinity Riverside Estate!
This is an incredibly beautiful and unique indoor/outdoor wedding venue. The new owners have done a ton of maintenance, reorganization, etc.. This place is a MUST SEE!
