GUEST TESTIMONIALS
"Riva Grill not only saved the day for our wedding, but literally felt like it was our dream venue when all said and done. A month before our wedding I got an email from our original venue saying it was going to be under construction on wedding day. I was so upset. I reached out to Riva Grill to see if they’d host it and serendipitously they had my date open (the Friday before and Sunday after they had other weddings). Kimberly went above and beyond to make our wedding spectacular. Ambiance was great, food was great, they do a great job setting up the beach ceremony. Our guest experience was superb. It was literally the perfect day. Couldn’t recommend it more."

"Thank you for a wonderful evening. There were nothing but compliments on the food and service. The prawns and crab cakes were a big hit. Thank you again for helping us set up the centerpieces & wedding favors-it helped us a bunch!"

"Thank you so much for the wonderful job you guys did for our wedding and reception. It came out better than we even expected. Everyone loved the food, the venue, and had such a great time. I can't remember our bartender's name, but he then popped out to say hi to us on Saturday when we were for lunch. Everyone is super great! Loved it! Thanks again and hope to see you guys next time we're at Riva's!'

"I wanted to let you know how wonderful everything was at the rehearsal dinner for Justin and Laura on June 10. The room was a perfect size and the food and drinks were perfect, and the view of Lake Tahoe was perfect! Lots of our guests told us how great everything was. Also, the service was fantastic-everything was very smooth. We appreciated your nonstop help and availability from helping (set up the room) to the cocktail hour and dinner that night. It seemed that if we had a question at anytime during the process, that you were not more than seconds away. You truly made all of this so successful and memorable as a wonderful night for all of us."

"Jon and I wanted to thank you for the amazing job you did in organizing everything for us at the Riva Grill! It can be really stressful planning a wedding, especially because I was planning it from a distance, but you really helped make it easy for me. You walked me through everything and always got back to me so quickly. With all the different things I was thinking and worrying about, I never worried about the reception at the Riva - you took care of everything for me! The venue was absolutely beautiful, and the way you set up the cake and the room was gorgeous! So many guests commented on how wonderful the room was and the food...oh my gosh did people love the food! And everyone who was helping out that day was truly wonderful, or as my relative from Boston likes to say, "wocked awesome." Thank you again for everything. I would highly recommend the Riva Grill for a place to hold special events."
