dding venue you can imagine. It's so beautiful that you don't need a lot of decorations! Every single staff member was incredible. It stopped DOWNPOURING 30 minutes before our outside wedding ceremony. Every last staff member was outside drying off chairs and squeegeeing the aisle so that we could have the outside ceremony that we dreamed of! It completely made our day! The dinner was delicious and the appetizers were even better! We received so many compliments on our venue!

What made the experience even better was Hailey and Dom. They were incredible to work with—organized, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our day perfect.

We were able to relax and fully enjoy our day knowing we were in such good hands.
RiverStone Premier, along with Hailey and Dom, exceeded every expectation we had.
We couldn’t imagine a more beautiful or well-run venue for our wedding. If you’re looking for a stunning location paired with an amazing team, this is the place! Truly a 10/10 experience! 💍

ue itself is gorgeous and we chose it because of the versatility of the place. We were not required to take down any tables for space on the dance floor so any elderly attendees didn't need to move. Since they also took care of the food, it was an added weight off our shoulders. The bar was well stocked and never ran out of anything.
HIGHLY recommend them. Dominique was wonderful and she handled our wedding personally and everyone there was incredibly welcoming.

There is room for guests to space out and enjoy the indoor and outdoor areas of this venue. We had a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by festivities inside. Everyone who works at Riverstone made our day amazing! The venue itself has a built in sound system and custom lights with a recessed dance floor, which makes for an awesome reception. The in-house catering was incredibly tasty and took away the stress of needing to hire an outside vendor! Our guests complimented the beauty of the venue, the quality of the food, and the kindness of everyone they interacted with at our wedding! I can't say enough how grateful we are for Dom and the Riverstone staff! If you are looking for the best place to host your day, you should absolutely snag a spot at Riverstone! This hidden gem venue is a dream and give you the best wedding! *All photos in this post were taken by our amazing photographer, Lottie Lillian!*

dding reception on Friday, things went smoothly and were well done.
I greatly appreciate Amy’s attention to details and checking in with the mothers as well as the bride and groom throughout the wedding day. Amy kept the rehearsal moving along, and made sure everything was in place and running on time the day of the wedding. It also meant a lot that Amy took the extra initiative to check in with me and the groom's mom at the end of the evening to see if we needed anything before she left for the night.
We received so many positive compliments on how beautiful the venue is inside and out. The bathrooms are modern and were well kept during the wedding. Our guests raved about the delicious food, and that it came out of the kitchen hot, and was served so timely and smoothly. You were definitely well staffed for the size of the event. As a former banquet server, I am well aware of all that goes on to coordinate such an event. Kudos to the entire wait staff, kitchen staff, bartenders, and other venue staff for working as a team and making their wedding day flawless.
We are not from the Fort Atkinson area, but I definitely will recommend Riverstone Wedding/Event Center to anyone in that vicinity looking for such a venue.
Thank you again for a fantastic job. We could not have wished for better weather, a more beautiful venue, and a staff that worked efficiently, professionally, and as a team to make our daughter's wedding day so perfect.
