Beautiful Venue
Mid September wedding and it was beautiful! We loved the ceremony location and the fact that the reception was on the same site. Everything went very smoothly. They do take you out on the property for sunset photos so make sure to plan your time accordingly. We had to head out right after dinner and when we got back guests were leaving so knowing that, I would have moved the ceremony earlier by an hour. But we took our time and hit all the spots (pictures are the part that will last forever so get them all!) Otherwise it was perfect. We also opted to stay the night in the B&B and I highly recommend doing so. Makes the night easier and more relaxed and breakfast is provided as well. -

Katlyn B. Sent on 10/25/2021Absolutely GORGEOUS venue!!!
My husband and I just got married at Bill and Brenda's venue and it was absolutely perfect! Their venue was the first we visited and we instantly fell in love. The property is gorgeous, and it is clear how much time and attention they give to it. The weather was perfect, so Bill was also able to take us, our photographers, and our videographer out into the field of wildflowers where we were able to capture the most beautiful moments! They were both also very responsive to all of our questions in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and their attention to detail helped make sure our wedding went so smoothly! It could not have been more perfect, and their Bed & Breakfast they have available for the couple the night of was perfect for my husband and I. We loved not having to travel anywhere after such an exhausting (yet perfect!) day. Thank you Bill and Brenda so so much for helping make our day so special!River Edge Bed and Breakfast & Gathering Place's reply:
Thank you Katlyn-- You and Jeremy were a pleasure to work with! Glad you enjoyed our B&B overnight stay as well! I saw a few of your sunset photos and they were amazing. I'm glad to have taken part in getting you out there, as the field photos are really a highlight of our property for creating lasting memories. We wish you all the best going forward! Bill -

My husband and I were married on 9/18/21 at this BEAUTIFUL site! This was the first venue site that we looked at and we both instantly fell in love and booked it that day. Bill and Brenda were wonderful to work with and answered any questions that we had leading up to our wedding day. They were available the entire wedding day and helped to make sure that it ran smoothly. We chose to stay the night at the bed and breakfast that is on the property and our stay was perfect! The entire property is beautiful and I can't recommend it enough.River Edge Bed and Breakfast & Gathering Place's reply:
Hi Sara,
We appreciate your kind review and are happy everything went well for you and Joel! It is common for us to book first time lookers, due to the uniqueness of our property. Hope you guys were able to see and enjoy our resident deer and other wildlife during your stay at the B&B.
Stay in touch! Bill -

Jessica P. Sent on 09/08/2021Most beautiful outdoor venue
Most beautiful venue! My fiancé and I love the outdoors but didn’t quite want that typical rustic barn wedding. We toured a barn and new right a way it wasn’t “us”.
We went to River Edge and we’re immediately blown away by the property!
There are just acres upon acres of beautiful wildflowers that serve as a gorgeous back drop for your special ceremony! Also, the weather was so good that Bill took us out on a wagon ride with our photographer and videographer and got the most gorgeous shots! Well we got two back so far, but we can’t wait to see the rest!
You can tell that this venue is 100% Bill and Brenda’s pride and joy by the way they take care of it. They are all about preserving the natural beauty of the grounds and it truly shows.
The pavilion itself is gorgeous, simple, clean, and very classy. It is stringed up with white tulle and fairy lights for a very elegant look! There is also a sweet backdrop already set up for behind the head table! It has string lights and tulle curtains once again. They include all of the tables and chairs also! (Just beware, you will not be able to set up your venue the night before…. This must be done at 11am only, the morning of the wedding) All in all, this place is a 10/10 If you get a chance to tour it, do it! Then book it ASAP! You won’t be disappointed!
With love, -Jessica and Griffin TomasikRiver Edge Bed and Breakfast & Gathering Place's reply:
Hi Jessica,
We are very happy you enjoyed our venue, and really enjoyed working with you! Just to clarify for our readers, we do offer a 10am setup option on day of wedding. There is a small upcharge for this, however most groups have had no issue with our 11am setup time if they come adequately prepared.
We hope you and Griffin will enjoy your wild flower field photos, as well as the great memories from our beautiful venue!

Beautiful venue and fantastic owners!
Our wedding day was absolute perfect thanks to River Edge and Bill and Brenda. Bill and Brenda were always so quick to answer any questions I had throughout the entire planning process (which turned into a lot more questions thanks to being a covid bride). They were completely understanding and made sure everything was set for our big day. The venue itself is GORGEOUS and is a photographers dream. It’s also a huge plus that you get the entire property for the day, so you can have a very private event while still having a beautiful and spacious venue. I’ve heard nothing but compliments from our guests about our venue and how much everyone loved it. The few pictures we have are breath taking and we cannot wait to see the rest of them! I seriously can not recommend this venue or Bill and Brenda enough, they were fantastic!!River Edge Bed and Breakfast & Gathering Place's reply:
Jamie,
Thank you for the kind comments. Your field photos turned out gorgeous, and I was a pleasure to assist with getting you guys out there with your photographer. We wish you all the best!

Madeline B. Sent on 09/03/2020Beautiful property, built-in ambiance, great people
Bill and Brenda were so wonderful from start to finish. They were very communicative and I could tell that they genuinely invested in our having a perfect wedding day. The property is so breathtaking and the pavilion has so much built-in ambiance that minimal decorating was needed. They helped us with things we didn't even know we needed. They are so affordable, and it was so worth it.River Edge Bed and Breakfast & Gathering Place's reply:
Madeline,
Thank you for your kind review. It was apparent that you and your guests were really enjoying the property, and share our appreciation of nature. We wish you and Henry all the best going forward.

Andrea H. Sent on 08/02/2020Amazing, Beautiful Venue!
Bill and Brenda were absolutely lovely to work with, and their venue is spectacularly beautiful! We used their wooden arch/overlook setting as our ceremony spot, and it was so pretty. Bill and Brenda always responded to our emails quickly, answered all of our questions very patiently, and were just so kind to us and our guests. We had to delay our ceremony due to COVID, and they went the extra mile for us and the other couples so that we could have a new date that worked for us. They were even willing to work outside of their usual hours to accommodate our request for a brunch wedding! We couldn't have been happier with how our wedding turned out, and the River Edge Bed and Breakfast was the perfect venue for us. Thanks, Bill and Brenda!River Edge Bed and Breakfast & Gathering Place's reply:
Hi Andrea,
We want to thank you as well as our other brides for patience, understanding and willingness to make adjustments along with us during this uncertain time. We wish you all the best as a married couple, and hope to see you again in the future! -

Bill and Brenda ensured our wedding day was amazing. They have such a beautiful venue that made the entire day feel like magic. They worked so well with us from the time of booking all the way through the wedding date. It was so great that we knew they would help us have such an amazing day and really eased a lot of the worry and stress we otherwise could have had. They worked well with our other vendors, made sure we has amazing photos taken on the property, and were available for any questions we had. We highly recommend! -

A beautiful venue with amazing owners who constantly work with you to help make it as easy and stress free as possible. The owners Bill and Brenda, are some of nicest and sweetest people we have ever met! They communicate well with the expectations and costs for their particular site. The cost is amazing for the incredible venue with three different options to be married at and furthermore all the available spots for pictures! We couldn't have asked or wanted a better place to tie the knot! -

The perfect reception!
As a side job I am a wedding Coordinator so when looking for a venue for my own wedding I knew that I would be looking for both value and the most bang for our buck. River Edge is breathtakingly beautiful! And they work for any budget. Which my now husband will tell you is most important because we are both teachers.
The sun came out on our wedding day and everything was magical!
We could not have picked a better location for photos or for our reception! The kidos even had a blast playing with the lawn games that we set up out front.
Brenda and Bill are so nice and easy to work with! My husband and I planned our wedding in 6months so we were under a lot of time constants and all of our questions were answered promptly and always helpful!
We are so grateful for everything! And could not ask for a better day!River Edge Bed and Breakfast & Gathering Place's reply:
Chrissylynn,
You and Clayton were a joy to work with as well. Best wishes to both of you!

When looking for a venue, River Edge B&B popped up in my search and I could tell from the pictures that it was a beautiful place. Bill and Brenda responded to emails very quickly and were gracious to let us come see the venue several times. There was so much already at the venue that made it beautiful and less that we had to do such as the lights strung up in the reception area. Our day was very special thanks to this place!River Edge Bed and Breakfast & Gathering Place's reply:
Marissa,
You and your whole family(s) were awesome to work with. So glad we could get you out in the field and near the river for your most beautiful photos! Take care, Bill -

Zoey Sent on 10/19/2018Great service from Brenda and Bill!
I recently was married at the venue and had the most wonderful experience. The location was beautiful - I received so many compliments! We overlooked the golden switch grass for our ceremony and you could see the river flowing in the background. The staff (specifically Bill) helped direct our traffic into the parking area while Brenda was helpful in helping me set up and make my vision come to life. They were kind, patient, and extremely helpful. I would highly recommend this venue and plan on coming back for honeymoon stays in the bed and breakfast!River Edge Bed and Breakfast & Gathering Place's reply:
Zoey,
Thank you for your kind comments. We were so happy to be part of your special day, and were happy to help in any way we could. Your photos were stunning, and we're happy you could take full advantage of our many scenic photo areas. You and Bob make a great couple. We wish you many happy years together!

Emily Sent on 10/06/2017Perfect Venue
Everything about this venue is perfect. There are multiple ceremony areas to choose from, and they are each individual and unique. The pavilion is very conveniently located, so your guests have only a small walk from ceremony to reception. The staff is friendly and willing to help when you need it. The house is beautiful as well, and the dressing building is cozy. We ended up having 94 degree weather on our September wedding day, but us and our guests hardly noticed or cared because we were having such an enjoyable time. Our wedding day would have been perfect no matter what venue we chose, but having the privilege to invite our guests out to River Edge made it even more special.River Edge Bed and Breakfast & Gathering Place's reply:
Emily,
It was a privilege and joy to be part of your beautiful wedding day. The tempo of your ceremony and reception was very reflective of your lives together and the path you desire to follow in your future. Peter's parents really went out of their way to share their musical talents, and were a pleasure to work with. Your invited guests, both family and friends were friendly, respectful and cooperative towards us as venue owners--making our day perfect as well! May God bless you both in the coming years.

This review is long overdo! My wife Shelly and I got married at the River Edge B&B on June 2nd, 2017 and were thrilled with the magical day we had at the B&B. The natural beauty of the river backdrop, the twinkle lights hanging from the reception pavilion's ceiling, to the wonderful stay in the B&B after the wedding, it all was amazing. Bill and Brenda did such an amazing job of helping us, from working with our pastor for the rehearsal, to helping unload donuts and cakes from our caterer when they arrived last minute. Bill and Brenda have a true passion for making your day special, and go out of there way to make sure it is. We would recommend River Edge B&B to anyone. You will love your special day there. - Erik and Shelly S. -
