Riverside Event Venue

• VIRTUAL TOURS •

I know this probably sounds crazy, but coming to our empty building, I get a sense of sadness in the room. It’s almost like our building is missing all of the love, joy, & celebration it gets to experience most weekends. We truly cannot wait for our first event coming back after this pandemic.

Until then, we are still giving tours...VIRTUAL TOURS, that is! If you are looking to book a venue for the remainder of 2020 or for 2021, let us know! We would love to video chat with you to show you around & answer any questions you may have. Give us a call or shoot us an email to schedule a time to chat!

Until we get to celebrate together again, stay happy, healthy, & safe sweet friends🖤

Mixing round & rectangle tables is one of our favorites things to do when designing a floor plan! It helps breaks things up and keeps your guests’ interest as they move around the room.

For this wedding in particular, it made their large family table stand out from the other guest tables all while making everyone feel included🖤

This will forever be one of our favorite memories. I can’t help but smile when I think of it!

Anne & Hamlin didn’t plan on doing a first look. They wanted to see each other for the first time at the end of the aisle. HOWEVER, excitement got the best of them and they just couldn’t help themselves! They both immediately turned to face each other & Hamlin planted a big ole one on her!

I wish we’d gotten a photo of all of the vendors’ faces, as all of our mouths were on the floor (because that was NOT the plan!).

Their love for each other is undeniable & it was so sweet to be able to witness their excitement with them on their wedding day🖤

It never ceases to amaze me where photographer’s eyes are drawn. They see the world so beautifully different than most.

Some are drawn to the river, some to the trees, a few to the fence and some to one of our personal favorites, under the overpasses. We are so excited every time we receive an album and find another little hidden gem that a photographer appreciated about our building or grounds.

If only these walls could talk...

They have seen so much love in the short year and a half that we have been open. Lots of laughter, kisses, happy tears, and quite a bit of breaking it down on the dance floor as well!

It’s been a long time since this room has been empty and we couldn’t be more thankful!

P.S. We’re also extremely thankful for Aislinn for befriending us, believing in us, and for always being ready to bounce ideas off of🖤🖤🖤

Ceremonies on the lawn are some of our favorites, because we can watch through the windows upstairs🖤

Heather & Stephen did something we’ve never seen before. After exchanging their vows, they stuck around as their guests dismissed and greeted everyone row by row, making sure not to miss a single loved one. We were so touched by this simple act of thankfulness!

10 Questions to Ask When Touring Wedding Venues 1. What is the maximum guest capacity?

Last week, a mother of the bride reminded me of the age-old K.I.S.S. method, which translates to: Keep It Simple, Sweetie.

It is so easy to get wrapped up in all of the little details that go into your wedding that inevitably leave you stressed out & can take the joy out of one of the best days of your life.

Getting married in Alabama changing Aug. 29 Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. Oh, and something notarized.

Not only do couples use our indoor spaces as a rain plan, but also a HEAT plan! With all of this hot weather, our couples & their guests are raising praise hands for air conditioning! (We’re not kidding, guests have literally thrown up praise hands when they hear the ceremony is inside🙌🏻)
