    Amazing venue

    A massive thank you to the team at Rivervale for all their hard work and support in making our day so special! The events team were superb, kept everything running smoothly and were making sure all our guests were happy! Communication throughout the planning process was flawless and could not be faulted whatsoever. Marie was fantastic on the day, making sure me and Henry were looked after and had everything we needed. The kitchen and bar teams did an absolutely phenomenal job, all our guests were raving about how amazing the food was, everyone was kept well fed and watered throughout the day and the getting ready process which was lovely! The venue looked stunning on the day and you can really tell they put a lot of effort into maintaining the grounds to ensure it’s beautiful for each and every wedding they host. Thank you again for making our wedding day so magical,

    All the best,
    Mr & Mrs Wadge

    Beautiful venue, amazing team, everything you want for the perfect wedding

    We had our wedding at Rivervale Barn, and the day was absolutely amazing. The venue is stunning and the team are incredible. We had Victoria as our wedding co-ordinator and we are so grateful for all her help throughout the planning process and the day itself. Everything about the venue feels very high quality, the staff are all super friendly and attentive, the food is delicious, we highly recommend this venue!

    Amazing venue!

    I attended a wedding at Rivervale about 8 years ago. When we got engaged I knew immediately that I wanted to look a Rivervale. Compared the similar venues in the area, Rivervale was head and shoulders above the rest. I’m still getting compliments from guests about how beautiful the venue was and how good the food was.

    The communication was excellent normally receiving a email back the same day in regards to my hundreds of questions! We had a planning meeting in person and then a zoom meeting a couple of weeks before the big day. I was even able to change the seating plan around a few days before due to people dropping out.

    The team on the day was amazing, setting up all of our extra decor in the morning and constantly checking if there was anything we needed. Our day went without a hitch or if there was one I didn’t notice it.

    The venue is stunning and has so many photo opportunities, inside and out.

    I cannot recommend Rivervale Barn enough

    Absolutely fantastic.

    We cannot recommend Rivervale Barn enough, our wedding was everything we could have ever wished for and more!

    Lyndsay our wedding coordinator / planner was absolutely fantastic. So friendly and welcoming and really made us feel at ease with all the planning. Our meetings with her at the venue were very helpful and she always replied to our emails, she went above and beyond - we appreciate it so much!

    Our first visit to Rivervale Barn was actually virtual due to the lockdown. The staff did an excellent job at showing us around virtual and giving us lots of information.

    We finally got to view the venue and it is absolutely stunning. The barn looks gorgeous surrounded by the most beautiful gardens. We also had a blast at our tasting event. The venue was dressed like a wedding reception and it gave us a little taster to how our day would be.

    Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Lyndsay ensured the day ran smoothly and was very efficient. All the staff and catering team were attentive. It was a lovely touch to have a glass of iced water and some tissues as we waited outside the ceremony.

    The food was absolutely delicious and we have had so much positive feedback from our guests regarding the food.

    Thank you so much to Lyndsay and the rest of the team at Rivervale Barn. You helped us so much to have the most special day. ❤️

    Can we do it again?

    We both fell in love with Rivervale Barn the moment we drove down its beautiful driveway and walked through the door. Its been 6 weeks since our magical day and we still have guests telling us about how perfect it was, they were big fans of the Sangria!! The barn and gardens are breath taking, making it perfect for our photos and video. The suppliers we used were all from their recommended suppliers, which were all exemplary. A big thank you to our wedding coordinator Ellie, she was so helpful and attentive throughout the planning process and our day!! We used their gorgeous beauty room with Rivervale Beauty doing mine, 7 bridesmaids, flower girl and mums hair/make up...their work is beautiful! I also want to shout out and say a massive thank you to the lady who ensured me and Dan had some canapes and sangria during our photos, checked up on us throughout the day and saw I was sitting on table 8 when the dessert came out so she brought it over to me. Honestly, she made us feel so special and went above and beyond. Thank you

    Best day ever!

    This venue was simply stunning for our wedding! The team were all really accommodating and easy to contact throughout. We could not have asked for more from a wedding venue - breathtaking and such a good space with a bar on the dancefloor to keep everyone together! We had the most amazing day and I would recommend Rivervale Barn to anyone!

    Just wow - like omg wow

    Where to start - it was amazing. The venue, the catering, the venue staff... everything leading up to, and on the day was just done with expertise that you'll only get from a dedicated venue and team like that at Rivervale Barn. Our every need was dealt with before we knew it, and the planning leading up to the day working with our liason (shout out to you Brandon!) was intergral to our perfect wedding day.

    Amazing wedding venue!

    Rivervale Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding. The barn and gardens were so beautiful, and made every photo look amazing! The staff at Rivervale Barn were brilliant. Very friendly and made the day itself run so smoothly. Special thanks to Brandon who helped us organise our day - without all your support and guidance it would not have been the same! Would highly recommend.

    The best day ever!!

    If I could give Rivervale Barn 10 stars, I would!!

    As soon as we first saw the venue, we fell in love with it and knew this was where we wanted to get married. From start to finish, the team have been fantastic and have been there every step of the way.

    On the actual day, I didn’t have to think once about what I needed to do or where to go. The team were already there, holding my train whilst leaving the pamper room, ensuring we got some of our canapés and even having a tissue and glass of water ready before I walked down the aisle! It sounds like such small things but they honestly made the day run so smoothly and will always be something I remember!

    You will not regret booking Rivervale as your wedding venue - I wish we could do it all again!!
