Perfection in The Heart of the Mid-Atlantic Region
Multi-year award-winning Riverdale Manor is a historic wedding venue in Lancaster, PA, serving couples in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Delaware for 17 years. Nestled on six acres of wooded land and gardens, the manor dates back to the 1800s. Owned and operated by Maureen and John Raezer, the site boasts waterfront views of the Conestoga River, providing couples with picturesque backdrops. Fully restored and with modern amenities, this secluded property is minutes from downtown Lancaster.

The indoor/outdoor Pavilion offers rustic elegance with timber interiors. The Terrace has a stone fireplace and an excellent cocktail hour setting. Both pavilions are heated and can be opened and closed in a moment in case of inclement weather. The ballroom is a grand and spectacular space that boasts lofty beamed ceilings and reclaimed wooden floors. Its expansive windows allow light to flood the space, making it ideal for photographs. Iron-hanging chandeliers complete the vintage style of the room. The wedding party has two suites in the attached farmhouse to prepare for the event in privacy.

We worked directly with Vashti as our coordinator and she was so helpful! The venue is beautiful and the food was fantastic! I would absolutely recommend Riverdale Manor.
There are so many wonderful things about this venue it's hard to know where to start. The venue itself is beautiful from the ballroom to the pavilion to the farmhouse to the grounds. As a same-sex couple it was very important to us to have two rooms of equal size to get ready in. Riverdale Manor delivered with two spacious rooms for each party!
While planning the entire wedding our wedding coordinator Monica was such a big help! Not only is she such a kind person but she is well organized and knowledgable. Our wedding timeline ran on time/early all night due to Monica's hard work! We could not have asked for a better person to help make our wedding run smoothly!
The catering for Riverdale is from Thyme and Seasons Catering and no outside option is available. But honestly I don't think we could of chosen a better catering option. The food from cocktail hour to dinner and to dessert was incredible! We got so many compliments from our guests on how amazing the food was!
Overall we could have not picked a more perfect location to have our wedding!
There is not enough starts to rate how awesome Allen was. He was above and beyond our expectations with the highest professionalism and the best charistma. Our wedding included a lot of spanish speaking people and his transitioning with languages was so smooth and amazing. He really heard and went with our vibe and music selections and brought it to the next level. I think I have never seen so many people dancing non stop coming from so many cultural backgrounds. We had so many of our friends and family asking for our DJ as many people was impressed with both his mysic and event handling. 300% recommend Allen is you want the best vibe and fun everyone dancing kind if party. It was a total pleasure to work with him 🫶🏼
Any questions?
Monica was our wedding coordinator at Riverdale and she was a pleasure to work with! Monica was always super quick to respond to emails, helped to provide reassurance when needed, and worked with us to help our visions come to life (no matter how many back and forth emails). She helped make the whole planning process as stress free as possible and helped our wedding day flow seamlessly. Riverdale Manor is the perfect combination of rustic, elegant, nature-focused and cozy. We and all of our guests loved the indoor/outdoor combination for the reception. And the food was amazing, all of our guests only had good things to say about it. Would highly recommend stations for mingling experience and ability to try all different types of food. Our cake made by Thyme & Seasons Catering not only looked gorgeous but also tasted delicious! Would highly recommend Riverdale Manor as a wedding venue!!!
This review is coming from a vendor's perspective. My company has been lucky enough to provide entertainment at Riverdale Manor multiple times and most recently on 7/13/24. Vashti (Coordinator) and her team were more than accommodating on what was one of the hottest days of the year. They also made sure every guest was taken care of and worked perfectly in unison with all other vendors to provide the perfect wedding experience! I look forward to coming back soon.
I truly cannot say enough great things about our wedding at Riverdale Manor. From the moment we stepped on the grounds I loved the venue, with its equally beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces. The entire process, from choosing our menu, to setting up a tasting, to the day-of coordination was pretty much seamless. Oh and guests RAVED about the food - some even said it was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding! Vashti was our coordinator and she was wonderful!!!! She answered all of my (many) questions throughout the planning process and was there the day of to set up decor and keep things running smoothly. Our wedding was truly the most beautiful and special day, and the staff at Riverdale Manor made that possible. I will always cherish these memories!!!!♥️♥️♥️
Riverdale Manor, and their entire wedding team were absolutely fantastic. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and works perfectly in all seasons, all times of year. The pavilion and outdoor covered cocktail hour space work perfectly rain or shine and the entire grounds of the venue are stunning.
Monica and the coordinating team went above and beyond for my husband and I. Being located in CA, we were worried that there would be issues with communication and the planning process but Monica and the team worked effortlessly to ensure that everything was taken care of. I can not recommend Monica and the team at Riverdale Manor (including the inhouse catering of Thyme & Season) enough.
I had the pleasure of getting married at Riverdale Manor, and Maureen, our wedding coordinator, was truly exceptional. She brought my vision to life and made my special day unforgettable. The venue itself was stunning, with guests raving about its beauty. The food was exceptional, and the staff were warm and attentive, ensuring our guests felt comfortable and cared for throughout the celebration. Overall, I couldn't be more grateful for the incredible experience we had at Riverdale Manor!
I just had my wedding reception and ceremony at Riverdale Manor on 4/21/24. The grounds are so perfect and Monica was an amazing event coordinator! They have an exclusive caterer (Thyme & Seasons) and their food is AMAZING! All night long my guests were raving about the food and the gorgeous venue.
Monica was so helpful during my planning process, always answering my emails timely and helping make suggestions to make my event flow seamlessly. The day before the event I was able to drop off all my decor and they set it ALL up for me. She even has a whole list of preferred vendors which was very helpful as I am not a local.
Thyme & Seasons catering was also a huge hit. We did stations (pasta, pacific rim, grilling) and the food was all cooked to perfection and incredibly tasty. I wish I could have had more of it!
Everything is tastefully decorated and the setup of the venue is so nice. I loved getting ready in the vintage farmhouse but also having a more modern ballroom area for the reception was nice.
There isn't a single negative thing I can say about Riverdale Manor. If you are looking for a more garden vibe spring ceremony...this is your location!
You MUST book your wedding at Riverdale Manor! There are not enough positive adjectives to describe our experience with them. From the moment we toured, we were welcomed wholeheartedly by Maureen and her team. The coordinators are incredibly easy to work with and will answer your questions and concern promptly. The menu is extensive with so many unique options to choose from! Vashti, our coordinator, left no stone unturned and was able to fulfill all of our requests. During the wedding, her team was never far away from me or my husband. They got our plates of food, drinks, and anything else that we needed from the moment we arrived for our wedding day. Guests are still marveling at how beautiful and well-run the facility is. Multiple people told us the food was the BEST they’ve EVER had at a wedding. We had SO many leftovers that we were able to serve at our after party and beyond. As an additional perk, they had winter decorations up for our December wedding— with no cost to us— to add to the festivities.Thank you Vashti and everyone at Riverdale Manor for making our wedding day beautiful and stress free!
What an amazing wedding! The entire day could not have been more perfect! The staff at Riverdale was amazing and the food –OMG the food--the beautiful setting. It was more than I could have ever imagined it being for our daughter and son-in-law. Our guests are still raving about the entire event. Monica and Sam were so wonderful to work with. They were calm , cool, collected and caring—especially caring 😊! This was an amazing way to end 2023 and bring in 2024. Thank you to everyone! Oh, and did I mention the food? 😉 DELICIOUS!
My husband and I got married at Riverdale at the very end of December 2023. It was the perfect venue for our holiday wedding. We appreciated the staff's communication, attention to detail, and overall kindness to our guests. My husband and I felt at ease throughout the entire planning process; having Thyme and Seasons catering at the venue was so helpful. The food was beyond delicious and everyone left well fed! Our cake, also from Thyme and Seasons, was so beautiful and tasty. We cannot recommend Riverdale Manor enough! We are so grateful to have found such an amazing venue that made our wedding so magical!
Riverdale Manor was a great venue for our wedding. We had our wedding in late November, so we got married in the pavilion, where it was heated and very comfortable. Everything looked so great on the day of the wedding - the ceremony, the cocktail lounge and ballroom were all as good as we could’ve hoped.
We also really enjoyed working with Monica as our wedding coordinator. She made everything so easy for us and handled all our details with ease. We felt like we were in capable hands from start to finish. Thyme & Seasons Catering also did a great job with all our food, everything tasted great and there were lots of options to choose from. FYI, if you do choose Riverdale, you’ll have to use Thyme & Seasons as your caterer. But overall, we were very happy with Riverdale as our venue, it’s an easy five stars for us!
Wow! Monica made my wedding exceptional. I was very stressed planning a wedding but Monica tackled it with ease. She gave me any updates alone the way, reassured me, and was available for me 24/7. Ambiance was amazing, food was even better, SO many options to make your day how you want it. Monica knew my vibe and the reception was PERFECT when it was time for us and our guests to celebrate! I cannot thank you Riverdale enough for making our wedding perfect. Look no further for your dream wedding team!
We are so, so happy that we held our wedding at Riverdale Manor. Beyond the immaculate space, the team at Riverdale really made our wedding dreams come to life. Everyone on the team was so helpful, thoughtful, and friendly. We were so lucky to work with Maureen who has such a keen eye for detail and had so many ideas on how to make our ideas come to fruition in the space. Lastly, nearly 2 weeks after our wedding, we're still receiving compliments from guests about just how amazing the food was!
Words cannot explain how happy we are we booked Riverdale Manor! They are so professional, kind, and responsive. Vashti was always fast with emails and responded to every question. She ran our rehearsal and day-of so smoothly and seamlessly. Everyone raved how gorgeous the grounds were, and how DELISH the food was! I know I'm biased, but it was honestly the best wedding food we've ever had. The staff brought my husband and I huge helpings of all food and were so attentive. They nailed all of our decor details/instructions and helped us pack everything at the end of the night. The day could not have run more smoothly and they are true experts and professionals at what they do! Get married here!
If I could rate Riverdale Manor more than 5 stars, I would! First, the staff at Riverdale exceeded our expectations. Monica, was always so responsive and available for any questions we might have. On our wedding day she did absolutely amazing in setting up my vision for our wedding and she truly took so much stress off of me as a bride and really let me just enjoy the day. She made wedding planning such a pleasure with her help and direction. The catering staff, bartenders & everyone else went above and beyond with service & did so wonderful with making the night flow. The food & drinks were amazing! I seriously cannot say enough great things about everyone who is apart of their staff. Not only is the staff fantastic, but the venue itself is perfect for hosting a wedding. I never worried about rain due to the fact they have beautiful rain plans. Our guests were able to spread out at Riverdale and enjoy the entire venue and were not limited to one space. Everything there is very well maintained & clean and you can tell they pay attention to details. Overall, I had the wedding of my dreams at Riverdale Manor & cannot thank everyone for making that dream come true! Thank you!!
If we could give more than 5 stars we would! Everything was perfect from start to finish. Vashti paid close attention to every little detail to ensure we had the perfect day. Planning a wedding can be the most stressful thing you ever do but Vashti answered every question we had and replied to every email (I sent a lot) in a very timely manor. The venue is tucked away on the river to create the perfect intimate ceremony space. The food was excellent 10/10! My husband and I are both vegan and they accommodated us very well. The portobello Wellington is so amazing that my mother in law keeps trying to recreate it but it never turns out quite as good as the one we had at riverdale! We are so thankful to have had the opertunity to work with such a great venue and staff.
Everyone needs to get married here!! I will recommend this venue to everyone for the rest of my life! The event staff is amazing and knows exactly how to make your day perfect. Rain or shine, this venue can accommodate you. GET MARRIED HERE!!
We couldn't have had a better experience having our wedding at Riverdale Manor! They were great to work with and made the process easy for us. Our coordinator Monica was super friendly and helpful, and took care of everything on the day of the wedding. It was so nice to have someone in the wedding industry to set everything up for the ceremony and reception, and decorate using the decorations we provided. It was so nice not to have to designate a family member to have to do that on the day of the wedding! Our guests had a great time and we received many compliments about the venue and the food from their catering company, Thyme & Seasons. Would recommend!
Riverdale Manor was everything we could imagine for our wedding day! It was absolutely beautiful and had plenty of room for all of our guests! Our coordinator, Monica, was simply amazing! Always quick to answer emails and helped us every step of the way to ensure our vision came to fruition! Highly recommend!
Where do I begin! It was truly a dream. Monica, the event coordinator was available, organized, and cheerful throughout the entire process! The food was exceptional! Especially the salad and salmon! The wedding day was such an elegant experience, I felt like a princess. The pavilion was spacious but also very intimate. The ballroom was large, elegant, and spacious for all the dancers. Having the patio area allowed for guests to space out and not feel clustered. I would 100% recommend this venue if you are looking for these types of experiences :)
Amazing place to get married. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful. Everything was set up just how we wanted it to be. The food was amazing and we got so many compliments. The whole day went seamlessly. Vashti and her team were amazing. I can't recommend this venue enough. Best day ever.
Monica, Jackie and everyone at Riverdale Manor and the in-house caterer, Thyme and Seasons, exceeded our expectations. Monica was always prompt at responding to all of my questions. She is also very organized, friendly and on top of everything! The venue is beautiful, no matter the time of year (we had our wedding in February 2023.) We had numerous people tell us the food was the best they’ve had at any wedding they’ve been to. Monica and Jackie set up all of my decorations with little direction from me and nailed the look I was going for. I could go on and on, but if you book Riverdale, you won’t be disappointed. Wish we could relive that day :)
So happy we got married at Riverdale! The venue is beautiful and the staff are all very attentive and friendly - we had such a great experience working with Angie from the first time we toured the venue til we left as a married couple! 10/10 would recommend
Riverdale was wonderful to work with start to finish. Monica was so helpful and organized throughout the planning process and her and everyone else at Riverdale made the day go by so smoothly. Everyone is still commenting on how wonderful everything was. Do not hesitate to book your wedding here, it'll be the best experience possible.
I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was working with Riverdale Manor. The venue is stunning. Monica, our wedding coordinator is an absolute delight. She made us feel comfortable and helped us through all of the little details. She made sure we enjoyed our night and had nothing to worry about. The food was outstanding as well as the cake. We had a perfect wedding night!
Riverdale was the perfect venue for our wedding and Monica was a dream to work with.
Their unique landscape and ability to use so mix of the property enabled our guests and to spread to have conversations, but also come together on the dance floor.
Also, their ceremony location by the river was magical and the backup location had us never worrying once about rain
Probably one of the best choices of our wedding day was booking Riverdale as our venue. We got married on a beautiful day in April, and our day was perfect from start to finish. We got married outside, but I loved the fact that I didn’t have to obsess over the weather beforehand, because the pavilion is stunning too. Our friends and family are still raving about the delicious food and gorgeous atmosphere. We worked with Sierra and she was extremely organized and helpful throughout the entire process. Pricing is very reasonable for all they have to offer. Highly, highly recommend having your wedding or event at Riverdale - you will not regret it!!
We worked with Monica & her communication was amazing! She easily filled the blanks with what we needed & let us lead. The venue was beautiful and all the guest kept mentioning it. So glad we picked this venue for our special day
We got married at Riverdale recently and everything was absolutely perfect! We worked with Monica, who made our planning process so easy and enjoyable! From the first meeting with her till day of our wedding she was fabulous! She and her team truly made our special day perfect and went above & beyond to exceed our expectations! The venue and grounds are absolutely stunning. We had nothing but amazing compliments during and continuously after!
From Patrick and Andrea Keen. I could write a book on perfection from start to finish of a wedding/reception, Riverdale was over the top. Thank You for making their wedding excellent. The Staff, Food and Politeness was just so perfect. Thank You and God Bless..
We absolutely loved working with Riverdale Manor for our ceremony and reception. It was so nice to have a planner along the way and they worked with us to make sure we had everything we wanted. Our guests were so impressed!
Riverdale Manor was an incredible venue for our wedding day, and they were fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. Our coordinator, Melanie, would always respond to our millions of questions within 24-48 hours, and anytime that we ran into an issue, she always helped us resolve it. For our wedding day, the catering was delicious, the grounds were beautiful, and the ambience was perfect. We highly recommend Riverdale Manor for any couples.
We had such an amazing wedding at Riverdale! The venue is beautiful and the perfect back drop for photos. We worked with Maureen and Sierra as coordinators and they were spectacular at getting our day to be perfect. The timeline is on point, the food is amazing, and the atmosphere was great. It poured most of our wedding day and the venue has an awesome back up plan for rain. The ceremony and dancing in the pavilion made for a fantastic evening. Definitely recommend here for your wedding!
Cannot say enough wonderful things about Riverdale Manor and their staff. We worked with Monica who was the best! She guided us step by step throughout the process and made planning our wedding day fun and easy. The day of the wedding the staff set everything up for us and helped pack everything up afterwards, which was a huge help to us and our family. It was truly the most magical day!
Monica and her staff at Riverdale Manor made my daughter's wedding perfect! The day of the wedding, they handled everything from set up to boxing up the centerpieces, etc. at the end of the night so we were all able to just enjoy the wedding. Having a winter wedding means that weather can be an issue. Being able to hold everything inside at Riverdale Manor from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception made it so much easier for the guests. The venue is absolutely beautiful and the food was awesome. We did stations and they were a big hit! Thank you Monica for everything. It was truly a perfect day. The light dusting of snow made the outside photos awesome!
The perfect wedding venue if you are seeking indoor/outdoor layouts, rustic and charming themes, and not wishing to rent any supplies. Each couple is given an event coordinator and we had Monica, who was amazing!!! She handled literally everything. Reminders for meetings, payments, and decisions. We had a meeting to select the menu which she helped greatly with. Forgot to mention that Riverdale has their own catering company, Thymes and Seasons, so you essentially get everything you need at one shot. They provided tables, chairs, linens (which we got to select with the help of Monica and she organized the rental) and they even had many optional items at their venue that were available to use at no extra cost. Monica was there on our big day with an assistant to help everything go smoothly. She coordinated with all of our vendors so much so that I did not have to answer a single vendor call on our big day. The food was amazing, the service was also incredible. We received so many compliments on the venue and are so happy we chose it for our special day!
Everybody says to prepare for something to go wrong at your wedding, but truly nothing did. Melanie responded to tons and tons of emails and many changes beforehand. And when the day came, she ran everything like a well-oiled machine
The venue itself is gorgeous. The wedding was over a month ago, and people are still complimenting its perfection for our romantic fall wedding. I was going for fairytale forest with lots of different jewel tone colors, and it was perfect without feeling like a basic barn or a stuffy castle. Pictures attached.
Note: The pricing is itemized, down to every napkin. To some, this is a minus because it’s a lot more work for the client. To me, it was a plus because we weren’t stuck with a pre-made package and could custom-tailor every detail and make it fit our budget.
Otherwise I'll let the pictures speak for themselves :) (photos by Jackie Pochadt and Austin Gill)
Wow, we cannot say enough great things about Riverdale Manor!! This was the first and only venue we needed to see and it was so perfect for us from day one.
We got the pleasure of working with Melanie - who consistently went above and beyond to be the most responsive throughout the entire process. From making sure we had enough food, to helping with decorations, and everything in between - we truly couldn’t have done it without all of her knowledge, recommendations and attention to detail!
For the wedding day, Melanie kept everything running smoothly and ahead of schedule! Every single detail was perfect and everything went according to plan without a single hiccup - which is unheard of! There isn’t enough to say about Melanie and the staff at RM - we are truly grateful we got to meet and work with everyone for our special day! Everyone is still talking about how beautiful of a venue it is, how nice and helpful the entire staff was, and THE FOOOD - SO DELICIOUS. Everyone was obsessed with the slider bar, crab cake bites, and mini margarita pizzas to name a few!
We can’t recommend RM enough!
Out of all the venues we looked at, nowhere came even close to Riverdale Manor! This venue is a "hidden" gem with a unique variety of indoor/outdoor spaces. They offer catering with pretty much ANYTHING you could imagine (mashed potato bar in martini glasses?!? yep.) with options to fit every budget -- and everything was absolutely delicious! Our wedding coordinator, Melanie, was INCREDIBLE and made sure everything went seamlessly throughout the planning process and wedding day. We received so many compliments on our wedding day about the venue -- and still are a month later!
We got married on 09/06/2021, and we honestly could not have picked a better place! Our coordinator, Melanie, was a rockstar from the second we toured the venue to the end of our reception. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! She was organized, professional, and very accommodating of our requests. She kept all of our vendors on the same page and ensured that everything ran smoothly during the event. She set up decorations, saved us from a last minute table number mishap, and checked on us during the event to make sure that we were okay! Additionally, the day-of assistant, Sierra, was incredibly friendly and professional.
The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and the grounds are incredibly well kept, right to the bridal/groom suites. The food was delicious and the staff was so polite. We can’t say enough good things about this venue. They offer so much!
We got married at Riverdale Manor in September. Monica was our wedding coordinator and was absolutely amazing to work with. From the planning process to the actual day, she was prompt in answering any questions I had and was so helpful! The venue is beautiful and our day went so smoothly. I love that there are multiple ceremony locations and a beautiful plan B in case of rain which many other venues did not have. The food was AMAZING! All of my guests are still raving about their meals. We had the most perfect day and would recommend this venue to everyone!
The venue was very nice and beautiful. They took care of everything and everyone was very friendly. Monica was our wedding coordinator and she was great! The food is amazing too. Our ceremony ended up being pretty short and they worked the schedule around it very well. They also gave us a really cute ornament of the house.
I got married here back in December and our day turned out just as we imagined! We worked with Sierra and she was so professional and helped us capture the vision we dreamed of. She set up all our decor and stayed on top of our timeline to keep us organized throughout the day. Dani was her assistant and he was so helpful throughout the day with everything we needed. Also, the food was incredible! Thyme & Seasons Catering has the best chefs! We were so lucky to have snow on our wedding day and very happy we decided to hold our wedding at Riverdale! For anyone looking for an amazing experience, we highly recommend!!
My husband and I had our wedding reception at Riverdale Manor and it was definitely one of the easiest decisions we made! From the start they were transparent and so easy to work with. Monica was absolutely amazing and on top of everything! I am not the most organized person and she went out of her way so many times to ensure that we had the best day ever and we truly did. I would recommend Riverdale Manor to everyone, from the coordinators and planners to the event staff and servers, everyone was so great and welcoming to all of our guests. Monica made sure our day was a breeze and made our dream become all that we could have wished for and more! We couldn't thank her enough!!!!
We got married at Riverdale September 2021 and it was perfect. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Maureen ran everything so smoothly and all the guests were in awe of how stunning the venue is and how delicious the food was. One of the reasons I picked this venue over others was because they had multiple ceremony location options indoor and outdoor that were just as beautiful. So although it rained on my wedding day and the ceremony was moved into the pavilion, it was still a gorgeous ceremony and I didn’t feel like I was compromising my ceremony! No matter where you get married on the property you will be satisfied and guests will fall in love. Definitely recommend this venue you won’t regret it.
10/10 recommend Riverdale Manor for your wedding venue! I recently got married on Sept. 3rd and Melanie and her team worked extremely hard to provide us with the most seamless, beautiful wedding! Every little detail was exactly what I hoped for and much more. Melanie was so great through out the process. She was very organized, knowledgeable and remained clam during the wedding. I loved the venue so much! Due to the flooding, we had to switch the plan B but I ended up loving it way better! I wish we could relive this day! Everything was amazing !
My Husband and I got married at Riverdale Manor in August 2021. Our wedding day was nothing short of amazing thanks to all the hard work the staff at Riverdale put in.
During the planning process, our coordinator, Melanie, was responsive and walked me through every step! Bless her heart for answering all of my millions of emails and making me feel like the it was bo big deal at all. Her constant and professional communication with me made planning a Covid wedding all that much easier.
As for the venue, we ultimately chose Riverdale Manor because of how beautiful and well kept the venue was and the amazing Plan B option if it rained. They recently have built a new terrace and bar which we loved!
I will recommend Riverdale Manor over and over again!
Riverdale was the best choice for us. The layout of the venue is great for guests to go wherever they want to go (hang in the ballroom, dance in the pavilion, play backyard games). Our guests loved the venue. Melanie and the crew were absolutely awesome helping us with everything. The crew even helped pack our stuff at the end of the night. I highly recommend Riverdale Manor for your special day.
Where to even begin? Riverdale Manor is utter perfection. Period. The second I stepped foot on the grounds, I knew it was meant to be our wedding venue. It's breathtakingly beautiful everywhere you look and at every time of day. The outdoor and indoor options are both to die for, which eases a lot of stress when talking about Plan B options if your first choice is to have your ceremony outdoors. The land has an endless amount of great photo spots that will give your photographers and videographers all kinds of fun things to work with. But those are all the highlights you'll learn very quickly after you visit. Let me tell you about some of the things you won't know until during or after your big day...
1) You and your guests will be OBSESSED with the food! You'll get a tiny hint of that at your tasting, but you will be blown away by how delicious every single thing is the day of. I wish I could have their halibut, bacon-wrapped shrimp and cake every day!
2) The staff are exceptional at what they do, and they are so sweet to your guests. (Danny in particular was amazing and so helpful!)
3) Every single detail you plan will be perfect. Be sure to soak it in!
4) Your coordinator will make sure your vendors have and know everything they need to to ensure your day is perfect.
Maureen was our wedding coordinator, and I can't rave enough about her. She's incredibly detail-oriented and the most amazing thought partner. She'll not only bring your vision to life, but she'll help you refine it along the way. And the day of, she's handling it all so you can just be present and enjoy the day you worked so hard to create. We are BEYOND grateful for Maureen and her expertise -- if you have the honor of working with her, you truly have the best in the business (though I have no doubt every coordinator here is exceptional). Our day wouldn't have been the dream that it was without her.
Riverdale will always hold the most special place in our hearts. We know you will love it endlessly, too!
We just got married at Riverdale Manor on 4/24/2021 and it was AMAZING. Monica our coordinator was so good we can’t brag enough about everything. From the planning process to the day itself it all went smooth and everything fell right into place. Our friends and family raved over the food and the beautiful views the venue provides. If we could do it all over again we would. This venue and staff are exactly what you need for and amazing day !!
My husband and I can't believe the amount of detail and time everyone at Riverdale put into our special day. Our guests were beyond thrilled with all the service and the beauty of the venue.
My husband and I are so happy we picked Riverdale Manor to have our wedding. It was truly the perfect day! Riverdale is beautiful inside and out. Our wedding was a day we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We worked with Melanie and she was amazing. So communicative and professional from start to finish! Thank you to everyone at Riverdale Manor!
Riverdale Manor was a beautiful reception venue for our fall wedding! The new addition of the Garden Terrace, combined with the Pavilion was a perfect location to give our guests lots of outdoor space for cocktail house and dancing! We are still getting compliments on our gorgeous venue! Maureen was fantastic and very knowledgeable with all things wedding, and was so responsive via email. We could not have been more comfortable with all the special precautions and guidelines taken during our 2020 wedding.
We had such an amazing wedding! Trying to plan and prepare during the year of 2020 was not easy but Monica and the staff at Riverdale were very accommodating! We loved our day!
I can not say enough good things about Riverdale manor!! Monica and the staff at the venue were the most wonderful people to work with. Planning a wedding is super stressful (let alone during Covid) but Monica was there to help along the way. She made our vision come true! The weather on the day of was pretty unpredictable so having the option of having it under the pavilion was so great! The food was also fantastic! All of our guests said so many good things about it. I would Recommend that everyone chooses Riverdale to get married at!! It truly exceeded our expectations!
Riverdale Manor will always have a special place in our hearts.
I would highly recommend for a wedding or any other event venue! Monica helped to make everything perfect for our wedding day, she was fantastic! She helped to make the planning a lot easier and made sure everything was running smoothly for the day of.
I really loved the flexibility of having the ceremony either inside, under the pavilion or by the water. The food was excellent and they provide alot of flexibility to fit you & your guests needs.
I cannot say enough about how amazing this venue is. They help with every detail from menu planning to decor placement. They are able to accommodate outdoor ceremony and coacktail hour with a contingency plan for rainwith absolutely STUNNING ambiance! I loved working with Maureen and Sierra, our wedding was a dream come true!
We originally chose Riverdale Manor because of its affordability and the overall WOW factor. Through the planning, we were more and more certain that we made the right choice. The menu tasting blew us away. The COVID hit and the support and professionalism we received from Riverdale Manor was above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. The coordinators made the day go smoothly and took all of the stress off of us. They even packed up everything for us during the reception and helped us load it in our cars at the end of the night! Also- the portions were HUGE and NONE of our guests went home hungry. They all couldn't get over how beautiful the grounds were and delicious the food was. If we were to do it all over again, I wouldn't even think about booking another venue. I hope to attend some weddings at Riverdale just to relive the magical day they created for us! Check them out- you will NOT regret it!!
Riverdale Manor was the perfect location for our picture perfect snowy winter wedding day! Our ceremony and reception were both held on the grounds and both were equally as beautiful. We worked with Melanie as our coordinator, who was extremely responsive in planning and answering any and all questions in the year leading up to our event and was instrumental in making the day seamless and stress free. We had so many compliments on the venue, service, and food. My husband and I went in with the expectation that not everything would go as we had planned on our big day, but our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we couldn't have asked for anything to be better or different. I look back on our big day with so much happiness and I hope that every bride gets to experience her wedding day the same way that I did at Riverdale Manor.
We could not have been happier with booking our wedding and reception with Riverdale Manor. It is such a beautiful venue and the in house catering (Thyme and Seasons) provided amazing food. We had the privilege of working with Monica throughout the entire experience. This was a destination wedding for us and Monica made it so easy and helped us plan out every detail to make it a perfect evening. The plan was to have the wedding on the lawn, but mother nature threw us a curveball the morning of the wedding with rain. Monica and her team quickly transformed the pavilion for a beautiful ceremony for our 125 guests and by the time we joined the cocktail hour it was already set up with the bar, photobooth, and speakers for outdoor dancing. It was a magical night and we would highly recommend Riverdale to anyone.
We got married at Riverdale Manor and have absolutely zero complaints! The venue is gorgeous, the food is amazing, and the staff is friendly! Melanie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was responsive with my endless questions and really helped my vision come to life. If you're considering Riverdale Manor, DO IT.
I can't fully explain how lucky I feel that we found Riverdale Manor. They were an absolute dream to work with and made wedding planning so much less stressful. The venue was gorgeous, the food was amazing, and everything was perfect. Stop looking for other venues and book Riverdale Manor right now!!!!
We were just married at Riverdale in June. The day was truly perfect!! It exceeded all of our expectations. Several guests told us it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Everyone loved the food and commented on how professional and courteous the staff was. We worked with wedding planner Monica and are so thankful. She responded promptly throughout the entire wedding planning process and was extremely knowledgeable and fun to work with. We were able to enjoy our day stress free knowing that she was taking care of everything. We had a blast at our wedding and would do it all over again if we could.
We chose Riverdale Manor because it is simply stunning all year round. We got married in late November. The grounds were beautiful for pictures and the indoor ceremony space was stunning. Riverdale takes the guessing out of wedding planning, which to me as an absolute plus. They think of nearly everything, and they're precise on timing and execution. They're affordable and accommodating. The food is INCREDIBLE and the selection is huge. Thank you, Melanie, for all of your help!
My husband & I got married in October, and it was absolutely beautiful! Melanie did SUCH a great job helping to get everything ready, including making sure the evening ran smoothly even if some of the scheduled things changed at the last minute. I wish our wedding could have lasted all weekend, because it is an amazing venue with amazing people in it! The outdoor/indoor space options were perfect for the fall season because it was a bit chilly. The ceremony was outside with the beautiful fall leaves and we moved inside for the reception. Melanie worked very well with the other vendors that came in and communicated with them leading up to the event. This helped us to only worry about enjoying our day and not worrying about the "behind-the-scenes" stuff. I will definitely be recommending Riverdale Manor to all of my friends and family because I can't wait to come back! Thank you to everyone at the venue that helped make our day perfect!
When my husband and I got engaged, right away we started researching venues. Riverdale was not on my list but we had numerous friends who suggested we check this place out. So glad we did! After leaving from our tour of Riverdale, my husband and I looked at one another and knew we had found our venue. To start, Riverdale is absolutely stunning. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. The farmhouse, ballroom and gazebo are the perfect combination of elegant and rustic. Another major reason we picked Riverdale was because of our “plan B”. We both wanted an outdoor wedding. Other venues we looked at did not really have a rain plan or if they did it wasn’t a very good one. At Riverdale that’s not the case at all. If you can’t get married on the grounds due to the weather, the gazebo is a perfect back up plan!! Monica was our coordinator during the whole process. I cannot say enough great things about her!! She was absolutely amazing to work with. She kept up on track with planning everything. She answered all our questions (even the annoying ones) and was always so great at responding quickly. Thanks to Monica I was not stressed at all leading up to wedding. I knew she would help make sure everything ran smoothly. Finally, our wedding day was a dream come true. Monica made sure everything stayed on course and on time which is such a relief. My husband and I were able to just enjoy ourselves all day/night. The food was seriously DELICIOUS (we still have guests telling us how great our food was). Everything was perfect! Honestly, Riverdale is one of a kind. If we could do it all over again we would choose this venue in a heartbeat!! We could never thank Monica and the staff enough for making our wedding so perfect!
My husband & I cannot say enough about Riverdale. From our tour up to our wedding day, they were great to work with. Maureen was fantastic and made sure the day went smoothly. Our plan was to have the ceremony on the grass in front of the tree/creek but due to morning rain we went to plan B which was to have the ceremony under the pavilion. I was not disappointed of this decision as every where on the property is beautiful. If we had to do it all over again, we sure would pick Riverdale again! Many of our guests are still talking about the property !
Our March 1st, 2019 wedding at Riverdale Manor could not have been better! Monica worked with us for the past two years to make our vision come true. We loved how gorgeous the grounds were in all types of weather. It being early March we wanted a venue that could handle, sun, rain, or snow. It snowed the morning of our venue and the snow with all of the lighting was just gorgeous. We received so many compliments on the food, decor, and overall ambiance of the venue. We chose our photographers (Tony Gibble), transportation (Schultz), and officiant (Rev. Theresa) from their preferred vendors list and we loved each of them!! Our whole day was completely stress free all thanks to the staff at Riverdale Manor, Monica, and the amazing vendors they recommended!!
We had a wonderful experience with Riverdale Manor and with our coordinator, Melanie. She took care of the numerous big and small details throughout the wedding planning process to ensure that our wedding was a beautiful, enjoyable night for us and our guests. We couldn't believe that everything went so perfectly!
You get a lot for your money at Riverdale Manor, which is not something I can say of the other venues we toured in the Lancaster and Philadelphia areas. While planning, I was all about simplicity, and having catering in-house and a wedding coordinator included in the package made planning much easier on us. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, reasonably priced wedding location with great, professional service.
Out Dream Venue
My husband & I feel completely in love with this venue at 1st sight. Melanie was amazing! She made sure everything ran perfectly. The wedding was outside by the river and was stunning. The reception looked incredible and we did a lot ourselves so Melanie was fantastic helping to put last minute touches on things. The venue was the perfect size for our 140 guest list. Our guests raved about how gorgeous the reception hall and the grounds were, but also about how amazing all the food was. It was the most wonderful day and I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Monica, Linda, and the staff at Riverdale are absolutely top notch. I had a wonderful experience with everyone I encountered during the planning process and would not change one thing. I was told by several people how delicious the food was and how beautiful the venue is. Some even compared it to Magnolia, which for this Fixer Upper fan is the ultimate compliment!
I cannot say enough about this venue. The staff, led by Monica were the friendliest, most efficient people ever! The preferred vendors are amazing and reasonable. The food was delicious and plentiful. You couldn’t get a more beautiful setting and convenient location. Exceptional all around.
Oregon Dairy and Petals With Style were amazing as well.
Monica had everything flowing perfectly and our wedding day was perfect. The photos you see just can't to the location justice. We visited on a whim and was blown away with the scenery and details that come included. The venue was affordable and worth every penny. All of our guests lived the food and the idea of the three stations. (I'm very indecisive and hated when I went to a wedding with platted meals) All the food was delicious and we were able to take home any leftovers (thankfully we have a chest freezer to store most of it. I recommended budgeting for some cheap containers to portion out when you freeze because they only provided foil storage pans.)
My husband and I got married there in April, and Riverdale Manor exceeded our expectation in every way! Monica was our wedding coordinator and she did an excellent job in keeping constant communication with us during the planning process and through out the wedding day. She was very organized and ensured that every detail was taken care of, which I greatly appreciated. She assisted with the pre-wedding setup and the guest raved with how beautiful the entire venue looked. I gave her a vision and she brought it to life. I could not thank her enough! The venue itself was breathtaking! I was hoping to use the outdoor grounds for the ceremony, unfortunately the grounds were wet from the day before, and they were unable to set up on the lawn, as such we had to use the pavilion. The pavilion was beautiful and it created a very intimate ceremony. The overall ambiance of the venue was breathtaking and we received so many compliments. The food was also delicious and a good serving size. The staff and bartenders were all extremely professional and kind to our guest. I would highly recommend this venue!! It was perfect!
Riverdale is such a beautiful venue! I was personally drawn to Riverdale Manor because of the pavilion, it allowed us to be outside but covered if it were to rain. We loved working with our coordinator, Melanie! She really took the time and listened to our vision and our needs during the planning process. Everything ran very smoothly, I never even saw the workers transitioning everything in between the different parts of our ceremony and reception. When the night was over, the workers helped us take everything up to our cars so there really wasn't any stress the whole night!! Highly recommend!
