Wedding Venue

The Riverside Hotel team have been such an amazing support. From the initial planning all the way through to the day after the big event.
We hired the Riverside Hotel to host our wedding and we booked the entire site exclusively for our use.
The rooms were spacious and clean, the food was amazing, the staff were so helpful and professional and any questions were responded to within 24 hours during the planning stages.
Thank you so much to all of your team.
