s all along the way, was so open to all of my ideas and extremely accommodating. We did not use a wedding planner, but having River City be our reception venue, our getting ready venue, our rehearsal venue, our caterer, our guests' hotel block, and our after party location, Christina served very much as a wedding planner for us! The staff at River City were always helpful in person. The phone calls to book hotel rooms was our biggest frustration, as the company has all phone calls directed to an off-site location and that caused a lot of issues with guests booking their hotel rooms within the block discount. Overall would highly recommend! The site is clean, BEAUTIFUL, luxurious, and romantic. And we were offered a free one-year anniversary night at the hotel with dinner at the Steakhouse! They truly seek to make your wedding an above and beyond special experience, not just doing the bare minimum.

tly had never been to River City but was hooked after my initial meeting. Megan was extremely responsive to every email, call, question I had. She helped me plan every detail for the night and understood my vision. She was so helpful and accommodating with all the hotel bookings / getting calls from wedding guests, and then having to reschedule everything out a year. Megan just made me feel so much less stressed about everything, even when red wine was spilt on my dress during cocktail hour :). Megan was right there helping get it all off! Then the wedding night was everything I could've dreamed of and more - the room was STUNNING (definitely recommend the draping, wow), the food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was amazing. We keep getting told by guests how much fun and beautiful the night was, and Megan and River City made it all possible. I wish I could go back and re-live it all again, and I wouldn't change a thing. Seriously you can not go wrong with this venue, highly recommend!! Can not thank Megan and team enough!!

when you have a large guest list. We added the draping and up lighting and OMG. It was absolutely breathtaking and everyone to this day still raves about how gorgeous it was!! This venue has it all, we had champagne toasts for all guests and wine service with dinner as well which was a huge selling point for me to have! The best part about River City is Megan Jung, the coordinator. From day one when we met she was the sweetest and really helped us to have the perfect day we envisioned! We had to postpone due to COVID and Megan was there every step of the way to make it a stress free process! Megan was so prompt to answer all of my emails over the last 2.5 years. Leading up to my big day. She met with me to go over all the details and really was able to help me envision what the room would look like! There were many times I had to call Megan to get more opening for rooms for my guests and she was always right on top of it all! The week of my wedding, we were able to bring up all of our decor items and anything we needed so we didn’t have to feel rushed the day before. After the wedding, the staff had everything in boxes for us for easy transportation as well! The morning of my wedding, Megan came to my room to check on me to make sure I had everything I needed and made sure I knew that everything would be taken care of. She did all the communication with my florist, transportation and cake/desert vendors so I didn’t have to worry about any of it! Later on when it was time to head back to River City, she made sure we got to take a look at the room before all our guest were able to come in and we were speechless! The room was everything we wanted and more!! I loved that she did this for us so we could take a minute and soak it all! During my cocktail hour we had a little difficulty getting my bussel and Megan stayed and helped until we got it right! The tiny but big gesture meant the world to me! As we headed into the reception Megan made sure my husband and I had everything we needed, such as serving us appetizers since none of were able to get any at the cocktail hour, serving us drinks from the bar and just making sure everything was perfect! The staff throughout the reception were top notch!! They really made sure all of my guests were all taken care of and it truly was noticed how amazing they were all night long!! After we got back to our room Megan even had left us a note and a bottle of champagne for us to have as a new married couple! I can’t tell how amazing Megan is! River City has a huge part of my heart during this entire wedding planning journey and I’m so sad it has come to a close, but if anyone reading this is looking for the best prices in town with the best service and quality food, this is the venue for you!! You will not be disappointed!!

OVID 19. During the months leading up to our wedding, my now husband, would often comment that he was beyond happy knowing I was stress free due to Megan and her team who were there to help with anything and everything we had questions about or needed help with coordinating. One to three weeks before the event, Megan and her team ensured proper hotel arrangements for our wedding guests, met with me to review the décor set up for the cocktail hour and reception hall, and stored all of our decorations and table favors. On the day of the event, Megan and her team distributed hotel room “Guest favors” as people checked in, worked directly with our transportation providers, made accommodations for our hair and makeup services, and checked in with us to ensure that we had absolutely everything we needed. After our ceremony and photos, as we were arriving back to River City, Megan and her team greeted us with umbrellas to prevent our wedding party from getting wet, unloaded our bus, put items back in our hotel rooms, kept us on our timeline, and escorted us to the green room where they had additional staff there to serve us appetizers and drinks. During the event, EVERY SINGLE MEMBER of the staff was extremely courteous and attentive. Without having to ask, Megan and her team secured all of our cards/gifts back to our hotel room and even left a thoughtful surprise. The day after our wedding, the staff had all of our décor neatly packed and ready for us to pick up. We have been receiving nothing but positive feedback on how delicious the food and drinks were, how beautiful the room looked and friendliness of the staff. River City’s prices are comparable to other venues, but what sets it apart from the rest, are all of the incentives River City offers you when you spend certain amounts. We were able to provide all of our guests with champagne toasts, offer wine service during dinner, enjoy two nights in a director’s suite, and have a wedding coordinator for roughly the same price you would pay elsewhere for only the location, food, and drinks. Thank you River City for the memories and the experience!

Megan was organized and accommodating for all guests - any worry I had she was there to help me in any way she could. Highly recommend you have your reception here - especially if you are debating venues during COVID restrictions. They have the capacity to host the reception you are dreaming of and still maintain guest safety concerns and adhere to guidelines. Thank you River City for an amazing night we will not forget for the rest of our lives!!

The staff at River City were very attentive to our needs. We had some guests with allergies and dietary requirements, and they verified each of them by name before serving them. We loved the food and have received many compliments from our guests! We are so thankful we chose River City to host our wedding reception!

River City set up and tore down all of our decorations, and made sure to send us extra dinner plates to my husband and I's room for after the reception. They are so incredibly thoughtful. And let me tell you- the food is still the rave of all of my guests. They cannot stop talking about how delicious the food was.

staying at the hotel, so that meant a lot of people in the hotel block, a lot of coordination about where to put the families, and a lot of emails, phone calls and questions. But everyone handled it so well! They had all of the rooms prepared upon arrival, even with bar stools for the makeup artists in the bathroom! Even with some hiccups in the transpiration on the wedding day, Megan remained calm with a smile on her face and got everyone where they needed to be, right on time. She handled every phone call and text and got everything done! Every vendor said that the venue was so accommodating to their needs and even the DJ said that they made his setup the easiest it has ever been! Megan handled every little request and made the entire day and reception exactly what I wanted it to be. She kept everyone happy and organized and did it all with a smile on her face. I will miss emailing her every few days with wedding questions and details! P.S. -- To all the brides-to-be, the draping and the go-bo's in the ballroom are 100% worth it!!!

tina, our Bartenders, and all of our dinner staff! Wedding planning can be very taxing.

We were able to meet up or chat any time we had a question or concern, which were always addressed timely. We walked into the ballroom for the first and immediately *jaw drop* it was beautiful as can be and the entire staff were super accommodating not only to us, but to all of our guests as well.

asta for sides! Everyone still tells us that we had the best wedding food they have ever had. And I had to agree with them. Most places I felt like the chicken was over cooked/dry, or the sides were okay, but River City had the most amazing food and so many different selections. Also, working with Christina, Megan and Hannah was such a great experience. Since it was our first time getting married, we were completely lost on what all we needed or even where to start. But thankfully they were there to help us. They took their time in showing us around, didn’t pressure us into anything we didn’t want, gave us all the different options that we could with the space, vendor lists and much more. It was awesome having such experienced professionals by our sides. We had so many questions for our wedding, but all three of them promptly answered all of them. It was great to have such a quick response and a team that actually cared about us and making sure our wedding was what we wanted. River City definitely did everything they could to accommodate us and made sure our wedding was perfect. I’m the kind of person that likes to understand everything and find the best solution for the best price and River City definitely provided that for us. I price shopped everything and for the cost it was very reasonable compared to other hotels and places we were looking at. They worked with us from planning the set up costs, to the food and drinks, and working with our budget. It was great to know that we were in such great hands. I think the best part was that Christina, Megan, and Hannah were so extremely helpful with setting everything up. We didn’t hire a wedding planner so we were truly blessed to have them helping with all of it. They worked with us in getting a timeline put together, coordinated with the vendors so they would be set up and ready to go once we got off the bus, coordinated unloading the party bus of the food and coolers, and made sure the wedding was a well-oiled machine. The bartenders were great. There was barely a line to get drinks and there was even a personal bartender for the wedding party so we could enjoy ourselves. It was such a great experience that I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to get married. Plus, you get a casino right next door! We wanted a wedding that was going to be a lot of fun for our guests and something to talk about. And River City definitely delivered! It was the wedding all of our friends were looking forward to the most, and everyone had a great time. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. We are both so happy that we chose River City for our venue.

River City Casino was the best choice we could have made for our wedding! While we were initially looking at a handful of venues, River City was the only place that didn’t make us spit our drinks out when we saw the price. After meeting with ...
sales to go over our options - we were sold! We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at River City, but in reality we did everything there. One of the reasons we loved the venue so much, was the variety of settings that made it easy for us to get stunning pictures without ever leaving the grounds! Even better, there’s an attached hotel and built in after-party at the bars and casino! Christina handled our sale and initial contract. She was absolutely amazing and worked with us to make sure we had everything we wanted and more, all while staying on budget. Once we signed our contract, we were assigned our Event Manager, Haseeb. Haseeb’s attention to detail and fine eye made our big day truly amazing and we are so thankful to have met him! In all reality though, every single staff member we met at River City from the A/V Technicians to the Banquet Managers and wait staff went above and beyond! River City definitely knows how to do hospitality. To give a brief run down of our day: We stayed at River City the evening before so that we had rooms to get ready in the day of. Our party stayed in the Director’s Suite and the rooms were absolutely amazing. Huge, with plenty of room for our entire wedding party to get ready (we had to rooms, one for each side). Even better are all the onsite restaurants and cafes that made for easy coffee/breakfast. Once we were ready, we took all of our pictures on site. From the restaurants, to the fountain outside, the grounds, and ballrooms, RC really has a ton of great spots for pics without ever having to leave. We did our ceremony in the middle third of the ballroom, with the wedding party on stage. The “curtains” that the A/V team rigged up made for some awesome photos and the stage looked fabulous. After the ceremony, guests headed out into the foyer for cocktail hour. The bar staff were quick to get everyone a drink despite the large guest count (~275). It was the perfect time to mix and mingle while the room was flipped. Once the room was ready, Haseeb grabbed us for a first look before the guests headed in. The room was simply stunning - Haseeb asked us to trust him and we are so glad we did, because we can’t imagine anything better! From there, it was time for dinner and dancing! The food was delicious and the drinks were great. The dance floor was packed for the evening and everything went off without a hitch! Once the reception was over, guests headed out to the bars and casino to keep the party going. We never thought we’d be able to have a wedding half as amazing as what we got with River City! We’ve gotten so many compliments and everyone was so impressed with every last detail. The staff never once told us no, they were amazing to work with and great with not only us, but our other vendors as well. If only we could do it all again! TL/DR: You would be stupid not to have your wedding at River City!

The guest rooms at the hotel were beautiful and having access to their restaurants and bars between the wedding and reception was super convenient. Sunday brunch for our guests was a huge hit.

We had our rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception at River City in March and everything was wonderful! From the beginning, when we were still looking at venues and trying to decide, Christina at River City was extremely helpful. She went over ...
all the details of how the events would take place there and what the typical schedule would be, but also made it clear that we could personalize the schedule to fit our wedding vision. Once we booked River City, Christina introduced us to our wedding host, Megan, who took over coordinating everything with us. While Megan served as our go-to person there, Christina was still available to us if Megan was away or out of reach. Megan was amazing though! She helped us with everything we asked, even the last minute details that didn't come up until the day of. Throughout the wedding planning process, she would send email reminders of things we needed to have done or booked at the point in time. She offered advice on some of our plans and details. If there was something we wanted but it wasn't necessarily going to look good or work out for the best, she would let us know. She would be honest and tell us it might not turn out how we want it, but if we really wanted to do it they would get it done. While some people might not appreciate that type of honesty, we did! She was so helpful through everything. Even the planning that was our responsibility, if I had a question about something she did her best to have an answer or get me in contact with people who did. They had great recommendations for vendors for us to use- decorations, cake, music, etc. And once those vendors were booked, we just compiled a list of their names and contact information and Megan got in touch with them in regards to when and where they needed to be to setup everything. Once our wedding weekend arrived, they were very accommodating. They had rooms for us to use for storage and preparation that were secure, and that we had access to 24/7 while we were there. Decorations that we brought from home to use, they set up for us where we wanted them. We basically just had to show up- everything was done. For the rehearsal dinner, we decided to do a sit down, service meal. Their servers were professional and courteous. And the food was AMAZING! We had so many compliments from our guests on how good the food was. For the wedding, it was held in the middle section of the event center. Once that was over we hosted a cocktail hour in the lobby area of the event center. During that time River City staff transformed the room from just the middle section to the whole room set up for the reception. When our guests went back in it looked like a completely different place- they loved it! We decided to do a buffet style dinner for the reception with carving stations, and once again the food was GREAT! The staff was professional the entire time and kept everything clean and cleared. At the end of the night, all we had to do was take the items we wanted to keep- decorations, pictures, etc. and they helped us move those items. After that, they took care of cleaning everything up. Everyone at River City made our wedding weekend the best and took so much of the weight off of our shoulders through the whole process. My husband and I joke all the time saying we should just have a wedding at River City every year to celebrate our anniversary because we, along with our guests, had such a great time! Thank you Christina, Megan and the rest of the RC staff!

The convience of the ceremony room and reception room being so close, along with a hotel to accommodate guests, and a casino for after wedding fun was amazing!

I even forgot something for a memory table and they found something for me to use in place of what I forgot. Megan and Christina truly went out of their ways to make us feel special. I received so many compliments on the venue and everyone was very impressed with how beautiful it turned out! They even provide center pieces for no additional cost, which left one less thing for us to worry about. We had cake from an outside vendor and they cut/platted it and put fruit and whip cream on the plate to make it look even fancier...I’m serious when I say they went above and beyond. The price was very reasonable for all that was included! I have NO complaints about our venue and all that they provided....I would recommend them to EVERYONE. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

She quickly responded to my phone calls, texts and emails. The food was delicious! Months later and everyone is still talking about how beautiful the venue site was and how amazing the food tasted. The beef tenderloin was a crowd favorite! During our food tasting the chef came out to talk to us and go over our food choices plus we got to take home all of the leftovers. Nothing compares to the venue's beauty. From the tall ceilings to the grand entrance. Guests loved the complimentary valet parking and the wedding hotel room rates. Megan was a great resource during the wedding planning process. She made sure to communicate with all of my vendors (band, florist, cake, etc.) before the wedding and the day of. This was a huge stress relief to know that she was taking care of all of these details for me. I was able to drop off all of my decorations a few days before the wedding. The staff set everything up for me and took everything down when the reception was over. This meant my friends and family could enjoy the reception without worrying about setting up or taking down anything. I would highly recommend this venue to any bride.

have worked with. After we booked with River City, Megan Jung handled all of the details (and many more questions from us) with such professionalism and enthusiasm. She made us feel so special and seemed just as excited for our big day as we were. We had 240 guests with 3 bars, 2 buffet lines, a very large dance floor, and still plenty of room between tables. The room was stunning with the chair covers, uplighting, and led monogram (designed by Megan). Even if we would not have had these "extras", it still would have been gorgeous. We also had a donut bar that was set up in an impressive and unique design. One of the things we got SO many compliments on was the food! After our taste test, we felt confident that it would be delicious, but knew that something could get lost when serving such a large number of people. We couldn't have been more wrong. It was outstanding! We had two. Here's displays during cocktail hour. There was nothing average about these beautiful and heart displays, but why should I be surprised. Everything was first class. The staff working the event was very professional, friendly, and helpful. Our other vendors were very complimentary of Megan, as she was in touch with all of them coordinating times for drop offs and set ups. The convenience of having a block of rooms at the hotel was priceless.
