On WeddingWire since 2008

Riverside Receptions and Conference Center is a wedding venue located in Geneva, Illinois. This unique property is nestled along the Fox River and provides spectacular views from its two-story event space. Characterized by a picturesque stone exterior, the historic building exudes a chic and rustic atmosphere that is ideal for celebrations of love. Couples who wed at this estate will enjoy friendly and helpful staff, all-inclusive packages, and exclusive access to the venue on their special day.

Facilities and Capacity
Riverside Receptions and Conference Center comes with a breathtaking outdoor ceremony site where soon-to-be-newlyweds can exchange their vows. This courtyard can hold up to 130 guests and features vintage lanterns, natural stone walls, brick walkways, and lush green vegetation. Two indoor conference centers are also beautifully outfitted for ceremonies, receptions, and cocktail hours. These include the lower-level Mill Room, which accommodates 110, and is furnished with a cozy pub-style bar, natural brick limestone walls, and three impressive fireplaces. On the upper level is the Bridgeview Room, an elegant event space that seats 130 and boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views of the river. Couples can even rent the entire facility to make use of all three sites and throw a truly unforgettable party with all their loved ones. A get-ready suite is also available for the wedding party to prepare together and socialize ahead of the walk down the aisle.

Services Offered
Rentals of Riverside Receptions and Conference Center come with all-inclusive packages that include Chiavari chairs, ivory house linens, and floor-length tablecloths. The venue also offers a large variety of centerpieces such as seasonal fresh flowers, greenery, votives, white lanterns, crystals, and cylinder vases with floating candles. For reception meals, the extensive in-house catering features four hours of open bar, a champagne toast, the cake, and buffet, food station, and plated dinners. Nuptial brunch menus are also available, for those couples who would prefer a more casual affair. Overnight accommodations are situated at an adjacent sister location, The Harrington Inn and Spa. This hotel provides luxurious suites, a tranquil ambiance, and a full-service spa where the wedding party can pamper themselves with facials, massages, and more.

The food, the view!

The staff at Riverside Receptions is amazing, the food is to die for (guests called and texted for days to tell us how good) the space itself is just gorgeous. Did I mention the food. Clean plates and happy bellies for sure. They are all inclusive, and made the process so simple without having to chase down a bunch of various vendors, which is the way to go. I would not hesitate to book any type of event there.

Highly Recommend

This venue is a hidden gem! We saw this venue after late nights researching, and although it was a little further out than we were initially planning, we knew we had to at least take a tour. Honestly, we should have stopped looking at other venues after that. Every venue we toured was compared to Riverside Receptions, and nothing could top it.

Tina, Renee, and the rest of the team are all so wonderful to work with. They are in the business of making wedding dreams come true. They were so accommodating in ways that we never even imagined. We were in contact mostly with Renee. Renee showed us the venue, answered our seemingly endless questions, met with us for our drop off appointment, worked with us during our rehearsal, and coordinated the lineup for our ceremony. It was nice to see a familiar face at our meetings. She also was very helpful with her suggestions, and she knew what worked and what did not.

The venue itself is gorgeous. We had the lower level for our wedding day. The weather was beautiful in the afternoon, so we took beautiful pictures outside and behind the venue on the river. It rained during our ceremony and dinner. Luckily, we had planned for our ceremony to be inside regardless. The reception room was right on the river with full windows across the whole room and a gorgeous view. Later in the evening, when the rain stopped, our guests were able to spend time outside.

The food was delicious. We enjoyed all the food at our tasting, so we had a hard time making decisions. The food was just as delicious at our wedding. The drinks were also great, and there was never a long wait. Our guests had such a great time. Overall, if we had to do it all again, we would not change a thing.

We highly recommend Riverside Receptions.
