We got married at the Riverside this October, and it was nothing short of the most dreamy, perfect day. The space is gorgeous (our guests still haven't stopped raving about it), the staff is so helpful and flexible, and the price is so reasonable, you truly can not find a better value in the city! We got some absolutely stunning photos on the rooftop too! If you're looking for a unique, customizable venue at a reasonable price this is the place for you!
I’m not one to write reviews but my experience at The Riverside was truly something special and they deserve their recognition and all the success. My wife and I got married at The Riverside last year and it was far beyond a day to remember, it was perfect. The space was the out-there, unique, and customizable (budget too) just as we always dreamt about finding. We were given the space for the weekend. Set up, drop off Friday, clean up Sunday. The owner James did the most for us. Helping us the entire way through with set up, arrangement, moving lights, having mirrors you name it. Exceptional service. James also took care of a dispute we had with another vender, allow us to step away and just enjoy the day. Thank-you, James. Kalie, the venue coordinator and many many other roles, was perfect. Energetic, helpful through the entire process. Prompt with replies, giving advice and also allowing us to build the day to be ours. Thank-you Kalie, you really heightened our entire experience. We fit 200 people inside the venue. Did black and white attire. Ceremony on the second floor. Dining room. Bar room. Dancing room. Cocktail room. Yes, there’s this many rooms and they all flow. Go check them out. Kalie and James, thank you again and feel free to reach out whenever. Share our photos, our story, our budget, and my number if you see fit. Wishing you guys the best.

I had an amazing time. This venue is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. Also very clean. I came for an event called Fine and Favored. Specifically a gala for Christian singles desiring as Christian community and kingdom marriages. I had a blast. I’d definitely come back to this location for future events.
From viewing the facility till the end of my event. Their communication is top tier. Kalie was super helpful with my shower even providing ideas. The facility is huge! And the best part they give you the venue at 10am without charging for extra hours like most smaller venues in metro detroit. This gives time to decorate and set up without rushing. I’m so happy I chose this place! I can’t wait to use again!
I absolutely loved this venue. I fell in love when I first viewed it. I knew I was having my 40th birthday here no matter what! The staff is amazing, super friendly and helpful! 10 out of 10 recommend!
