James and Jamie were wonderful to work with and provided everything we were looking for and more. Get ready rooms, tables and chairs provided, view of the river, forest background,...
tent and restrooms for our guests, and a prep area. Plus garbage cans, bar, fire pit, sound system and lawn games and plenty of areas for cute photos. It rained in our day and they even had a few umbrellas to add to ours that we brought. Jamie responded quickly to any question I had. We had about 65 guests but the venue can easily fit more. Our catering was a drop off and we used the prep area in the barn to do a sandwich spread between getting set up and the ceremony. Despite the rain our guests had a blast and our day was wonderful. Everything was so tranquil and beautiful. The fire pit was a big hit. Thank you!

uch you and your guests enjoyed the day—even with a little rain in the mix! We're so glad the umbrellas came in handy and that the fire pit helped keep things cozy and fun.
It was a joy working with you both and seeing everything come together so beautifully. Your thoughtful setup, especially with the sandwich spread in the barn, was such a smart and seamless way to keep things relaxed and enjoyable. We're thrilled that the space worked so well for your guest count and that the little extras—from lawn games to the river view—added to the experience.
Wishing you all the best as you start this next chapter. Thank you again for choosing us to be a part of your celebration!

bly helpful, responsive, and kind. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous — lush, peaceful, and full of natural beauty that made our day feel truly magical.
Jamie and James were amazing throughout the entire process. They were so efficient and calm during our rehearsal and even when we ran into some last-minute technical difficulties with the speakers, they jumped in and quickly got everything working. We were even allowed to stay a little longer to make up for the lost time, which we appreciated more than we can say.
They were flexible with last-minute changes and explained every detail so clearly, which made the planning feel smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for a venue that’s not only beautiful but also comes with a wonderful, caring team — this is it. We’re so grateful for everything they did to make our day so special.

As the groom, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience at our wedding venue. From start to finish, everything was smooth, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable. One of the high...
lights for me was the groom’s cabin — spacious, comfortable, and a great place to relax and get ready with my groomsmen. It really made the morning feel special.
The views at the venue were absolutely stunning. Whether it was during the ceremony or while taking photos, the scenery added something magical to the whole day. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything looked.
Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a venue that delivers both comfort and unforgettable surroundings. Truly a day I’ll never forget.

We’re honored to have been part of such an unforgettable celebration.

My husband and I got married last week at River Valley Oasis and really could not have imagined a more fitting location for us to begin our married life together. RVO was the first...
and only venue we toured because we just knew it was the one for us the first time we saw it. The price is a great value with tables, chairs, yard games, a sound system, a groom room(right on the river!), a bridal Suite(with light up mirrors & a steamer), four restrooms with running water, a fridge to store beverages or keep food cold, a huge white tent for reception, plentiful parking and more, all included. The setting is absolutely stunning and private with the river just feet away from both the ceremony and reception locations and trees all around you. It is a great location and truly an Oasis. James and Jamie were so easy to work with and wonderful with communication. Anytime we had questions or wanted to visit the venue, they were quick to accommodate us. We really appreciated the flexibility with vendors and being allowed to bring in prepared food to save money. There's also minimal need for decoration due to the natural beauty that is River Valley Oasis. Thank you so much for everything, having our wedding at your Venue was truly a dream.

elf is so well maintained we didn't need much decoration at all. We were the first wedding to have occurred there and at first sight(back in May) it definitely seemed to be a work in progress but every time we visited during our engagement the area just improved tremendously (this is over a 5 month period !)!! I cant wait to visit again someday and see how much the place has grown.
I was beyond excited we found such a perfect place for our wedding right in our own home town and at such an affordable price. This venue is perfect for weddings going for a whimsical, natural, fairytale style. The owner Jamie is very sweet and really tried to accommodate all my wishes for the big day. The only things that were a struggle to navigate with was catering and communication. Jamie had a preferred cater that could not fit our budget. The good news is you don't have to do the preferred cater, the bad news is you don't have access to the on site kitchen or to the sinks in the kitchen. Suggestion? Food trucks. As for communication, there were times when we were told one thing and then not allowed to do the things we had initially agreed upon in the end. Suggestions? Know the contract like the back of your hand and if anything is agreed upon after the contract is signed, get it in writing! But really those were the only things. In the grand scheme of things those issues didn't phase the big day one bit. It was the happiest day of my life and my wedding felt so complete at River Valley Oasis. I can not thank Jamie enough!
Sincerely,
Mrs. and Mr. McManus
