The River Center Reviews
We had our wedding reception at the River Center this fall at their South venue. The venue is beautiful and it was the perfect space for our wedding reception. We worked with Paige and she was excellent, going above and beyond to help make it the best day. The venue is beautiful, they have in house catering, supply all place settings and linens, and have bar service in house. Can't recommend River Center enough and had the most perfect wedding celebration there!
