Riverdale Manor Reviews

Myself and my husband got married at Riverdale Manor on November 15th 2024. To be honest, we fell in love with this venue the second we laid eyes on it during our tour. The venue inside and out is GORGEOUS and honestly has such a quaint magical feel to it. It has an upscale rustic vibe that I knew was exactly what I wanted. The venue offers its own catering which was so nice because we didn't have to worry about a thing with the food at all. The food was AMAZING and our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful everything was and how good the food was. Monica was our wedding coordinator and she was an angel. She answered all of my questions (and I loaded her up with them). I think the weeks and month leading up to the wedding I was so anxious about every little detail and she was always so quick to respond, never getting tired of answering my questions and putting me at ease. I will never forget the moment I was sitting at dinner at our sweetheart table and I looked around at the reception and thought ... 'wow, they really made my dream come true.' Monica did such an amazing job making everything look exactly how I wanted it to without a worry. It was the best day of my life and I am so thankful for my experience at this venue with their staff.

I would absolutely recommend Riverdale Manor to anyone looking to book a wedding venue. Monica and Maddie were a wonderful team and were incredibly responsive from the time we booked 2 years ahead of our wedding to the day of. Maddie was our day of coordinator and she made sure the day went off without a hitch. The food was amazing and we are still getting compliments from guests 3 months later! The grounds are gorgeous and even though it rained a bit on our day, it was still perfect and photos came out great. Prices are affordable and they have so many options and really work to stay in your budget. Do not hesitate to book RM for your day- it will be perfect!

My son was recently married at Riverdale in Oct. 2024. Our coordinator, Maddie, was great! She was the 3rd coordinator assigned to the wedding over 1 year, 9 months but the transitions seemed smooth and the event was extremely well organized. I was impressed with Maddie and the rest of the hard working staff. I had a smaller role in the planning so I cannot comment on the communication up to the wedding day.

I appreciated the tasting we had to make sure of all our food choices. We did change the menu based on that tasting. We had stations instead of a sit down dinner. The food was delicious and presented so beautifully! Many of our guests commented on it. The bartenders also did a great job. It was nice to save some money by bringing in our own beer/wine/liquor.

The venue was gorgeous! The pavilion and patio were so pretty and the grounds were beautiful. Having the farm house to dress/take pictures was so nice and super convenient. We also enjoyed having the ballroom along with the patio to use throughout the night. It allowed for dancing but also quieter conversations.

I would highly recommend Riverdale for a wedding! It was a magical day!

As a photographer, this was a beautiful venue to work at! Grounds are big for different backdrops and the scenery is amazing, especially a sunset. very helpful staff as well.

My husband and I had such a great experience working with Riverdale Manor! From beginning to end everything went so smoothly and seamlessly. The venue is so beautiful and affordable, the food is GREAT and so customizable to your wants/needs. We are so happy we chose Riverdale Manor for our special day!

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!

My wife and I got married at Riverdale Manor in June. Everything was perfect. The venue is beautiful, the staff was attentive and professional, and the food was amazing. We wish we could relive our day over and over again. I highly recommend having your wedding at Riverdale Manor!

We were married at Riverdale Manor this past Fall and it was stunningly beautiful. Based on all of the reviews, we expected the food and service was incredible. But what was most surprising was how easy the planning process was. We planned our wedding long distance and Maureen who was our coordinator was incredibly knowledgeable and also really responsive to all of our emails which made the process super easy. We worked with a lot of their recommended vendors and since they were very familiar with Riverdale Manor they needed little to no direction from us.

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!

We hosted our daughters wedding at Riverdale Manor in May 2023 and it was just perfect. the weather cooperated and the ceremony was on the river. Maureen was our coordinator and did an outstanding job of pulling together all of our details. We had a seated dinner and we are still getting compliments about the food and service. We were thoroughly delighted with all aspects of our event at Riverdale Manor

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!

Absolutely incredible! Truly the best choice for a wedding venue. The food, the staff and the venue was really outstanding. Riverdale Manor should be on everyone's short list of venues

We cannot begin to say enough amazing things about Riverdale Manor! Everything from the venue, to the staff, and the food went above and beyond our expectations. From the start, the coordinators made us feel at ease through the planning process. They answered every email in a timely manner and gave advice when we needed it. Vashti made everything feel easy with her calm, kind, and professional tone. We seriously couldn't have done it without her! And the food?! WOW. Wedding food is typically bland and not very memorable, but not at Riverdale. Thyme & Seasons Catering was better than we could have ever imagined for our 150 guest wedding. The taco station was such a hit and we continue to get compliments on the Salmon. I can genuinely say the food was the best I've ever had at a wedding. Our guests raved about it. Not only were the staff and food amazing, but the venue itself was perfect for our early Summer wedding. Our guests were able to enjoy cocktail hour under their beautifully lit Garden Terrace and Pavilion and venture down to take in the River views. The property is absolutely breathtaking all around. I highly recommend having your wedding at Riverdale Manor! Your wedding day will be perfect.

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.

Melanie, Angie, and the whole team at Riverdale Manor took all the guesswork out of planning our wedding. From the first meeting through the day of our wedding, the team was friendly, supportive, and available to answer all our questions. The wedding itself was an absolute dream come true, and multiple guests commented on how gorgeous the venue is and how incredible the food was. I can not recommend Riverdale Manor enough!

My wife and I had our wedding at Riverdale Manor on a scorching hot day in late July 2022. But really our story with Riverdale began a year earlier. After getting engaged, we scrolled through what must have been hundreds of venues, looking for a location with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, searching for a place that felt like it represented us as a couple. I will always have to my credit that I’m the one who found Riverdale Manor.

We visited and met Melanie, who would be our thoughtful and endlessly patient coordinator for the next year. Melanie made all of the details and options digestible and was attentive to our many questions. She showed us the space and it was even more beautiful in person than in the photos online. I would highly recommend making the trip and taking your time walking the grounds. It is peaceful and charming, with all the modern amenities you could expect.

In choosing Riverdale Manor as our wedding venue, we were also choosing Thyme & Seasons Catering. Some couples may prefer a venue at which they can bring in a separate caterer, but to us this was a bonus. We had a tasting the winter before our wedding and were impressed.

In the months that followed, Melanie answered every single little question we had, usually within a day. She never made us feel foolish for asking, and fielded our queries and requests with kindness. When our wedding day finally arrived, everything went without a hitch. If you are looking for a venue and coordinator that “just handles it,” then Riverdale and Melanie are your picks. It was really, honestly a magical day, and Riverdale a big part of that. This is a place that will exist in our memories forever, and we couldn’t be happier about that.

So glad we got married at Riverdale Manor! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the food tasted great. We got compliments on the venue and the food from every single one of our guests. Also the staff at Riverdale went above and beyond by setting up all of our decor on the day of, and tearing it all down and packing it up for us, along with the leftovers, immediately after the wedding. Also love that the venue and catering are all combined, it made our lives so much easier that way!

We can't say enough good things about Riverdale Manor and Monica. From the moment we first arrived for a venue tour to the final box being packed into our family's cars the day of our wedding, we were taken care of every step of the way. Riverdale Manor offers couples peace of mind in knowing no matter what the weather may bring on your big day, your plan A through Z option will be beautiful. Our guests raved about the grounds and ability to spread out, and absolutely loved the food. Monica and her team were amazing to work with and thought of every detail.

Monica and her staff at Riverdale Manor made my daughter's late January 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!

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 praise 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 - WOW SO DELICIOUS. Everyone was obsessed with the slider bar, crab cake bites, and mini margarita pizzas to name a few!

RM will always hold a special place in our hearts ♥️ Thank you for making our wedding day more than we ever could have imagined!

We can’t recommend RM enough!

From the very beginning, we were treated like royalty. Monica gave us our first tour and we fell in love with the grounds. She was then our point of contact from there forward, making the planning process so easy.

We were able to drop everything off the day before, which made life a lot easier. All we did was provide pictures and the staff put up all the decorations, exactly as we had imagined and sometimes better than we ever could have thought.

The caterer with the venue (Thyme & Seasons) was excellent. Accommodating staff topped off the night! The bartenders knew everyone's drink orders by the end of the night and kept them hydrated. The assistants helped pack everything up and got everything into our cars so we never had to be worried about a thing.

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!

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!!
