- VViktoria Rose Bongcaron16/08/2024River's Edge: A Wedding DreamRiver's Edge: A Wedding DreamWe had our sit down wedding at River's Edge on the 5th of August and we had such an amazing experience. The venue and the view was stunning and was such a beautiful backdrop for our wedding. We had both our ceremony and reception indoors and the team were able to completely transform the room from ceremony space to beautiful reception in about an hour. The food was incredible quality. We thought everything they put out was restaurant quality and our guests also had many compliments.We had our sit down wedding at River's Edge on the 5th of August and we had such an amazing experience.

Our Event Coordinator Mariana was AMAZING! She was super flexible and supportive, accommodating a number of special requests, such as a pizza station (not on their usual menu), and allowed us to DIY our styling, which played a huge role in helping us keep to budget.I recently had my cocktail style wedding at River’s Edge and my husband and I could not be happier with our decision of choosing this beautiful, modern and minimalist venue.
