Riverview Room

We came here today to celebrate our one year anniversary. We got married in the Riverview Room one year ago today it was a magical time. Service was top-notch. I'm gonna miss this place when they close down.

What a beautiful wedding venue! Beautiful views of the Mississippi River and beautiful room to dance and celebrate a wedding!

We attended a wedding celebration here at it was a fantastic venue. The views were spectacular, the food was great and the service was on point. It was a large venue that seemed very intimate. There were at least 150 people and it was very comfortable. There was a large dance floor good amount of seating are and two patios to enjoy the view of the river. ReLly enjoyed the venue and would recommend to friends

Went to an event there last night. The venue is awesome with some great views. The food was delicious. The staff was very helpful and everyone had a smile on their face.

I attended a wedding there last night it was really nice. i loved the glass door entrances. It makes me wonder how long this place has been in business. I would say it is on Par with some of the nice private event spaces on Fulton st. Service was top notch this lady Lula constantly cleared our table of half eaten cold food. The Nighttime View of the River cant be Beat!The bathroom is a lil hard to find and it doesnt have the historical factor like the Cabildo but i would definately book this space for a private event if there asking price wasnt astronomical.

I attended the most beautiful wedding here last weekend. You really can't beat the view. And as bad as wedding food usually is (it sits around all day), everything tasted amazing.

From the start the communication from the Riverview Room planning team was unorganized. The staff was dishonest and they had about 3 points of contact, making it very confusing. The building went through a renovation a couple months before my wedding. We asked many times what it would look like and never got an answer. We were even told at one point we could not rehearse on the terrace (where the ceremony was set to be) because they would be finishing up renovation the day before the wedding. When we questioned this, another member of Their team acted like they never told us that. When we got to the rehearsal, it was a mad house. There were workers everywhere. Scaffolding all over the building. Workers painting and renovating on the terrace the entire time we rehearsed the ceremony. Not to mention the coordinator did not speak to me even when we stood side by side. The wedding day, they had extra bars and chairs piled up in the hall making it cluttered and unappealing. They forgot to turn the light on over my cake for a cake cutting. The staff at RR was not organized in the day of plan at all. It was a cluster and as the bride I was very confused what was happening at all times. They also ran out of our specialty cocktails right after the second line. The scaffolding was in almost every photo outside which was a little upsetting considering I booked the venue for the outside views. When I reached out to the venue to express my concern. They wrote me off and said they didn't breach anything in my contract. They were very condescending and tried to invalidate everything I said. A very upsetting, unprofessional and unorganized experience as a bride.

I highly recommend any encounters in visiting this event space and asking questions be recorded and documented.We asked specifically to use the outdoor terrace area for setting up bandstand and dancing, not using inside space. At first we were told not a problem and then told that our design wouldn't work after giving our deposit. We cancelled due to not being able to execute our plan. Our cancellation was done a year before our event. We asked for the deposit return and told that it was nonrefundable as stated in the contract, even though we believed we had been told conflicting information.The owner, Mr. Greg Leighton, wrote a vile email chastising us about our comments.Just make sure you document all your questions, record the space and your interviews with any representatives of this organization.As a business person dealing with events on a national and local level, I would highly recommend that you be careful when considering this venue.

My Daughter's wedding reception was held at the Riverview Room and it was an amazing day. The staff were awesome!! Very welcoming and accommodating. The food was very delicious and always served at just the relight temperature.I would highly recommend this venue. Family and Friends were in awe of beautiful view and food.I'm now planning to attend New Years Eve celebration at the Riverview Room.

I highly recommend this venue. I recently assisted with a destination wedding at the Riverview Room. Upon arrival for the ceremony rehearsal, Skylar was extremely helpful, organized and personable. She put everyone at ease about the wedding and reception. She also offered some assets that we needed to complete the decor. The day of the wedding Skyler introduced us to her entire team who assisted us with setting up the decor and staging some props. They went beyond their scope of work to make sure that everyone was ready for the wedding. Melinda who is the lead chef is professional, and loves what she does. The food was delicious and the servers were so incredibly gracious. The bride and groom were happy and their special day was perfect as they had planned! I would highly recommend this venue as the staff, service and location add to the ambiance and magic of New Orleans. Thanks Skyler and chef Malinda for making April 16, 2022 EPIC!! With gratitude, Kimberly in Los Angeles.
