We had our dream house-party wedding at the Riviera Mansion in October. The venue and all of the staff made the day better than we could have hoped for. We hosted 140 people on the lawn for our ceremony, moving to the front yard for cocktail hour, dinner on the Sola Patio and dancing inside the main living room.The setup of the house made the day flow effortlessly as guests moved through the property seamlessly. Christy and her staff were so attentive and thoughtful from the tour, planning, and tasting to the wedding day. She was quick to answer questions throughout the planning process and was a vital part of our day-of team who made the event perfect. She always had a positive, confident energy that made everyone at ease and the whole process that much more enjoyable. The drinks, appetizers and food all were well-executed and flavorful. Many of our guests said it was the best steak and chicken they have had at a wedding! We hired KB Events as a recommendation from the venue and they worked together so seamlessly.
