We attended a wedding at Riverbend Venue this winter and it was absolutely gorgeous! Honestly, the pictures online don't do this place justice—you have to see it in person.
The setting with the snow and the flowing river was magical. Having both the ceremony and reception in one space was really convenient and made the whole event flow seamlessly.

We had an amazing wedding at Riverbend Venue! Everyone at the venue was nice and so accommodating and for that we are forever grateful! The Apple River along the venue was gorgeous and great for photos. We didn’t need a whole lot of decorating because the venue is already beautiful. We wish we could relive our special day with such amazing people!

I loved working with Riverbend!! The venue itself is gorgeous, and we got a ton of compliments on it. Not only that, but the staff are incredible. We worked with Cathy for most of our wedding planning, and she went above and beyond to provide recommendations, answer questions, and make sure everything was accounted for. On the day of, Ali and Carlee really stepped up to make sure everything was perfect. We are so grateful for all they did for us, and I HIGHLY recommend them!!

Wedding venue

Would never deal with the owners ever again. Trying to renegotiate terms on a deal after a deal was struck. In a have to accept now or never time frame.

It is a beautiful location, but we felt it was not the right choice for our venue for our event. It was a bit musty smelling upon first entering, perhaps because there used to be a fountain in the facility. or perhaps because we had a lot of rain the few days before. The event manager was kind and friendly, but it felt very regimented and "wedding factory" and a bit closed and dark for our tastes, once toured in person. We opted to go with another venue that felt more relaxed. But really, it is a wedding venue. So it's really up to someone's personal tastes, it just wasn't for us.

Wonderful venue, staff and owners!

Really nice they should open for weekends

Riverbend was the perfect venue for our wedding! After being stranded by Circle B venue Ali and her team swooped in to save the day! They helped make our vision of our big day come to life. From the decorations, bar service, great bridal suite, outdoor space for guests during cocktail hour. I could not have asked for a better day. Looking back I would not have wanted my wedding anywhere else but Riverbend!!!

Absolutely beautiful venue in a gorgeous river setting. The staff was amazing and we received so many positive comments from the guests. They made our Son and Daughter in-laws day so very special! Truly one of the nicest wedding venues I have been to in a long time! A million Thank yous Riverbend!

Beautiful and spacious. Very comfortable.

Stunning wedding venue! We had our reception here and we could not have asked for a better spot to do it. Our guests loved the river and patio area to hang out. It has a perfect design with a bar area, dinner room, cocktail area, and dance floor that helps create a great atmosphere. The staff are easy to work with and incredibly helpful leading up to and on the day of the event. Thank you for helping create such a special day for us!

It is absolutely beautiful!! Ali was amazingly friendly and helpful! Perfect spot for a celebration

I dj’ed a wedding at this lovely venue. I love the ceremony/dinner area . Their sound system is set up perfect. Their staff is very friendly and accommodating . The bartenders ( Kenzi and Charity) are awesome.

My husband and I had our September wedding at Riverbend. The venue was beautiful and we had so many compliments from our guests. The venue is right on the river and made such a beautiful background for our ceremony. The dining area and bar/dance area are in different rooms, which made everything so smooth as we didn’t need to have any room flips or turnovers done quickly. We also found the bridal and groom suites super convenient. We were even able to keep our belongings in the suites all evening. The staff at the venue is INCREDIBLE. The bartenders were super friendly and professional, and we were absolutely amazed at all the work Cathy and Ali did for us. They were super responsive to us and helped plan out so many small details. I could not recommend this venue enough!

Highly recommend RiverBend to anyone looking to have a beautiful wedding. This venue is perfect. We had so many compliments from our guests on the venue. The getting ready rooms are the best and are nice to use throughout the night. Some beautiful areas for photos. Can’t wait to get ours! Lastly, the staff is what truly make it happen. Cathy goes above and beyond for you to make your dream wedding come true. Her experience and knowledge are second to none and our big day went off without a hitch. The bartenders were also amazing and very attentive to our guests and my husband and I. They made sure everyone had a great time. Cannot say enough good things about this venue.

I have only been here as a guest but it’s a nice place from that perspective.
