Riverview Room

ah-mazing!!! If I was to do it all over again I would with the exact same people and place. I currently live in Chicago but the communication was if I lived up the street. I highly recommend for not only your wedding/reception but every occasion.

re phenomenal, throughout the entire planning process - they even helped me find my phone the next day when I left it at the venue on our wedding night (further shows how much fun we had!) Our parents on the day of raved about how well taken care of they felt by the attendants. Everyone loved the food and the space. They did a wonderful job making sure everything was exactly how I had envisioned. Inside tip: make sure that you book your tasting right when you book the space - there is one per quarter and that way you can make sure you can plan accordingly! We would not change a thing about our amazing day, thanks to all of the effort and care the Riverview Room staff provided. Thank you, Riverview Room!

i helped us with all the details and Skylar was a fantastic attendant! The views from the terrace and balconies over looking the river and city are unbelievably dreamy and made for great photos! Between the murals painted on the walls, the hard wood floors, white ceiling, white carpet, and large windows- every corner of the room is gorgeous. We used almost all the decor they offered because everything just flowed together so nicely- that was a bonus for us because we didn't have to purchase and coordinate added decor. The RVR crew offers a food tasting a few times a year which was a fun and valuable experience so we could choose some food options for our reception. Our guests said they loved the champagne wall before the ceremony and raved about the food! We added the bananas foster station, and even though the attendants brought some to us on the dance floor, we wished it could have been more of an "event" for us to watch and get pictures with, as a lot of our guests said they missed it. We got married in early June and knew it would be hot so we supplied paper fans for our guests- which they reported back they appreciated. Our bridal party said it was hot but not as bad as they thought it would be. Our ceremony was for 6PM and lasted about 20 minutes. When the ceremony ended and we returned outside for family pictures, it was about 6:30-6:45 and it immediately felt cooler as the sun went down so consider your ceremony time. We felt the cost of the entire venue was more than what we originally wanted to pay, but looking back, we wouldn't change a thing and everything was so worth it! Thank you RVR team for making our night the best night of our lives! We absolutely loved it and appreciate all your effort!

are so flexible when it comes to last minute changes in case of rain. The view of the river was beautiful along with the rooftop view of the city!They made everything so perfect and I highly recommend them if you are trying to find your perfect wedding venue!

assigned to my husband and I. She met us downstairs when we arrived and asked us for our drink orders and explained she would be taking care of us the whole night. However, that was the last time I saw her. Our wedding coordinator was also annoyed with her and there were countless times I had to go to the bar myself or have to track someone down to get me a piece of cake or food. That definitely put a small damper on an otherwise wonderful night.

it all! Most importantly their team was great and all of our guests raved about the amazing customer service they received during the reception.

ng an authentic New Orleans culinary experience. Months later, our guests are still talking about the oysters, shrimp & grits and gouda mashed potatoes! The day of our wedding, Mandy and her team made sure everything was flawless. Thank you Riverview Room team for making our wedding dreams come true!

ht unseen as we live out of state. The location is in the heart of the French Quarter with amazing views of the river and Jackson Square.

your beautiful venue. Our guests are still talking about it! We will always recommend you to anyone looking for a place to get married.

n were so attentive the entire night for us and our parents. The night ran so smoothly because of them.

ff was especially attentive, detailed, and supportive of everything I needed and asked for. Both Elizabeth and Isaac were so friendly! On the day of, the staff had set up everything exactly as planned. Our guests loved the picture perfect views from all the balconies. The staff did an amazing job packing our leftovers (both hor d'oeuvres and cake) and helping us pack our belongings after the reception. I cannot say enough good things about the Riverview Room. Thank you so much for making our big day so wonderful and memorable!

rything down during send off and we were ready to load our cars right after. Liz was great in serving the bride and groom and parents with food , beverage and anything they needed. I would highly recommend using this venue. Thanks so much for making our night special!

got started only 10 minutes past schedule. The venue itself is beautiful inside and out.. but I cannot speak highly enough of all of the workers who work so hard to make your wedding day so smooth & stress free! All the guests also raved about how good the food was & how beautiful the venue is.

zabeth and her team are an absolute joy to work with and the most helpful through all of the planning process. I am a very detail oriented and picky planner, and they made sure that every single vision was brought to life and then some. The food was incredible and received so many compliments. We are so thankful to have had our special day at this beautiful venue and would highly recommend it to anyone considering!

hat took care of us and our parents the whole night were AMAZING! The whole venue looked stunning and every single one of our guests has commented on how beautiful and fun our reception was. The whole experience was enjoyable and I am extremely happy with our choice 😊

in full, we were a few weeks out and then BAM, the Stay at Home order was issued. RVR was very accommodating and allowed us to move our date twice with no issue. * The venue itself is wonderful. The ceremony on the terrace was magical and the views are amazing. I loved that there were so many balconies so people had many options on where they could spend their time. The layout of the place is great and was perfect during Covid because people could really spread out. *The food was amazing (or so my guests tell me lol) *Elizabeth and the rest of the sales team were pleasant to work with even during the tough times Con: *The venue coordinator I feel terrible even saying this, but there were just too many things that were not as we discussed. My guests had a great time and everything was perfect in their eyes, but I was bothered by the details that were out of place. 1. Since we had to lower our guest count, we had to find a way to compensate for all the money we already paid. One of our options was to bring out a late night snack. The coordinator suggested po-boys and beignets. None of my guests can recall the late night po-boys, but the venue said they were passed out. I am 100% sure there were no beignets. The venue said that it was not in our contract. It was not in our contract because somebody dropped the ball. 2. Through many meetings and discussions with Carmela, we had agreed on doing the sparkler exit into the second line. This was discussed many times. The night of the wedding, about 30 minutes until it ended, my own personal planner approaches me to ask if I wanted to do the sparkler OR second line exit. Very confusing. I ended up just doing the second line to save time, but that was not what I wanted nor what we had spent a year and a half planning! 3. The welcome tables and guest tables were not set up to my specifications. In the back of a guest photo I can literally see a cardboard box just out on top the welcome table. I also saw that a bag of glow sticks was just sitting out on the table with our engagement pictures. WTF. I trusted whomever to set these things up in a nice display. It doesn't look like much effort was put forth. 4. The coordinator was so forgetful. We had a Zoom meeting scheduled a week before that she completely forgot about. This wasn't the first time she forgot about a meeting either. The day of the wedding she texted my planner wondering what beer I chose. I got asked on the day of my wedding what beer I was supposed to have. I know we discussed it & I saw her write it down. She forgot that the musicians were supposed to have a heater until we reminded her after arriving. She also had my cakes set up in the wrong spot. They were supposed to be in the middle to make a lounge area in the corner. This was not done correctly either. That's not the end of it either, but I'll stop there. I know it may seem like I am nit picking but that's only because when so much time, effort, and money is spent on something, you want it to be perfect. I know I'm lucky they even allowed me to have my event, but I had to write this review to let other brides know to be cautious in working with the venue coordinator. I didn't even see her the day of! Weird.

ing. Thank you to the staff!!

e staff couldn't have been better at making the process a little less stressful and producing an even more beautiful product than I could have imagined. From the gorgeous views of the river and the city, to the delicious food, to the amazingly friendly staff, it was the most beautiful day of our lives thus far.

st tour. It was the last venue we visited and both the space and staff blew everything else out of the water. We also booked our venue about a year before our wedding and they were kind enough to let us come by and bring my mother-in-law from out of town for a second tour, which was such an important part of making her feel welcomed in the wedding process. The awesome tasting we attended solidified that we made the right choice. Staff was there during the planning to help us answer questions (we found phone calls to be quicker than emails). They were honest with their advice, which is helpful during the planning process when it can feel like everyone is just telling you yes. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, the Riverview Room was accomodating of our menu and schedule changes. The last month was the easiest of all! Of course, the space was perfect on the day of the wedding. Our rooftop ceremony was gorgeous and the reception was beautiful. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. Our family of New Orleans locals was impressed, which says a lot. The balconies provide a ton of space for people to spread out but be near one another. The staff at the Riverview Room totally wowed us too. Our bridal attendant made sure we ate and always had a fresh drink in our hands. She helped me change for our departure and was reassuring the whole night. The waiters and bartenders were incredibly kind to all of our guests. They were everywhere when we needed them but never in the way. And most importantly, they seemed happy to be there and to be having fun (no one wants to feel like they're bothering someone, but these folks went above and beyond to make conversation with all of our guests). And of course the location in French Quarter made it the perfect place to end the night with a second line. I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else.

mention the space is beautiful! The whole team made our wedding the most perfect night!!!

rocess and they were quick to respond to questions. We loved this place not only because of the beautiful views, but also for the amazingly open layout. The layout of the place really helps the crowd to see and interact with each other best. This venue also stood out to us because they did all of their cooking in house and the day of (my guests could not stop talking about the delicious souther food) and the wedding coordinator came with the booking. I cannot stress enough how great Mandy was the night before and of. Me, my husband, and our parents were well taken care of on the wedding night and she made sure that we all had food and a never ending supply of drinks! Seriously recommend this location! You'll love it! We did!

work with these people and how we felt like our day meant so much them as well as to us. I had to cut this review from 1 whole page to a a couple paragraphs so that people would read it but hands down the staff and venue were amazing! From our first conversation with Elizabeth we knew this is where we wanted to have our wedding. We booked the venue without even traveling down prior that’s how comfortable she made us feel and I am glad we did. We planned our wedding from out of state and there is now way I could have done the planning process without Mandy and Isaac. They were responsive and informative and made me feel heard and at ease. I knew I could trust them in the process and they didn’t shy away from stepping up to any task. Chef Tom and our bridal and parent attendants ensured that our big day went smoothly they worked magic all night and were there for us the entire time. From the rehersal to show time they were there for us the entire time! There wasn’t 1 hiccup the entire night. THE VENUE IS STUNNING. We went with white, simple, greenery gold and small candles and it was PERFECT since the venue itself is so beautiful. The views of the river and off the balcony are so perfect there is no venue that could recreate them. There wasn’t much more decor we needed to add which I loved. Our food and alcohol packages were amazing and I loved every appetizer and entrée we tried. If the Riverview Room is available for your big day you will not be disappointed. I wish I could give them 200 stars. We are so thankful for this staff and venue. The Hanky’s

upgrades and a beautiful river view!

endlessly patient with my never ending questions. I was an overwhelmed and overworked bride and they gave me the only thing I could hope for - some peace. I knew they had me covered. They know what they’re doing and they are handling it perfectly. Day of, I never had to worry. I just had to show up. The food was delicious!! And the two women that were helping us out all night were absolutely FABULOUS. Everyone we’ve spoken to since the wedding has raved about the venue (that terrace is so gorgeous at sunset!) and the food. Thank you to the entire team over there for helping us create this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
