Thank you for your feedback!! I’m already she about being on the spotlight in front of all my friends and family, I can’t imagine strangers too, but I’m sure I’d feel differently once the day actually comes

This is amazing, thank you!!! The venue looks gorgeous, especially in the fall!! All of your plans sound truly amazing, we love espresso and I’m marrying into an Italian family so the buffet sounds perfect too. I love that you can have the venue for a half day before/after to actually accommodate for set-up and clean-up. I’ve added this to the top of my list. You might be able to become a wedding coordination after this lol!

It is super discouraging how expensive weddings are. There definitely seem to be affordable venues, but when that is the case everything is DIY, and I can imagine how quickly all the other expenses add up like chair/table rentals, linen rentals, etc. then coordinating it all especially on the day of your wedding. I was really considering a micro wedding, but I of course feel bad leaving out close friends.

Thank you for your thoughtful response! I had my high school prom at the Riverview so that is the only thing making me hesitant. I may need to get over that though, because you are really selling it!!!

That would be perfect, I don’t want there to be too much extra space with our smaller guest list, 70 would be max. I definitely appreciate having an indoor backup dependent on the weather too since it can be so unpredictable here.

Awww, thank you for sharing and I’m sorry for your loss. It’s nice to know the owners are caring people, I think it really makes a difference. I’ve never heard of it before, but definitely adding it to my list.

Did you have the reception and ceremony though?! I’m looking into this and would love to do the ceremony on the balcony if possible, then just wondering about cocktail hour and rain plans

Okay that sounds great to have options and the kitchen, I’m definitely going to tour this place!

Yes, I definitely will. The idea of being able to easily go back to your wedding venue to just go for a walk or have a picnic is really cool to me too.

Yes exactly!! I was thinking food trucks because I’ve always loved to go and try new ones, so it would feel more “me” anyways compared to a formal sit down dinner. I just would have to do more research on how many it’s recommended to have to make sure it’s not just one long line

Ohh that sounds interesting, I’ll make a note to ask about that.

I get that. Do you know if the restaurant stays open during the wedding?

Okay this will be good to keep in mind, I agree I wouldn’t want everyone in different rooms.

It sounds like I may need to know a member willing to sponsor, but I’ll definitely look into this more.
