Rivers Club

My now-husband and I had both our ceremony and reception at the Rivers Club, and overall we are really happy with the service that we received. The food was fantastic (even better than it was at the tasting!), their newest wedding coordinator Terry Chavara is very professional, responsive, and easy to work with, and the dinner staff was amazing! Terry was very flexible with our requests, which we were very pleased about, and she and the staff needed no direction when it came to setting up for the big day. We simply dropped off all of our decorations and such the night before, and it was all set up perfectly for us the next day, no questions asked! I can't tell you how much easier they made my day!! The only gripe that I have is that they completely re-decorated their ceremony room after we booked, and painted all of the walls a dark orange color. It isn't hideous, but orange is my least favorite color ever so I wasn't exactly thrilled. Their ballroom was left the same (and it's gorgeous!), so I could live with the orange color of the ceremony room. Overall, very happy with the Rivers Club! Definitely recommend it!

The Rivers Club was fantastic. Our coordinator Denise was brilliant. From the minute we walked into the club we were sold. Nothing we had seen before compared in the personality that the club has. It was really nice to know that everything would be handled in such a professional way. On the day of the wedding Not a single thing went wrong. The food was amazing and the staff more than helpful. I will have to find more excuses to go over there now that it's all over with!

The experience at the Rivers Club was 100% positive. Emily was wonderful, and helped us to plan a wonderful wedding! The food was excellent, the service incredible, and the cake was beautiful! We also found the cost to be considerably lower than some other venues in downtown Pittsburgh.We were especially impressed with how up front the Rivers Club was regarding pricing (NO hidden fees or minimums). They were very flexible and allowed us to do a consumption bar, which saved us a lot of money.I recommend the Rivers Club without hesitation. It was wonderful!

Everything went so smoothly from the planning to the big day. Emily was great to work with and gave a lot of help when needed. We could not be happier with our choice for our reception. Would highly recommend to anyone. Great place!

My husband and I are so glad that we chose The Rivers Club to have our wedding reception. Emily Faust was awesome. She took care of every single detail and made all of my dreams come true! Our wedding was everything that we have ever dreamed of and more! We are still hearing people talk about our wedding. The food was absolutely amazing! The cake was excellent. We even drove an hour to get the cake again for my birthday! The service, the decor, the food, the staff, etc...everything was great! I have recommended The Rivers Club to everyone I know! We had such a beautiful wedding reception..one that we will never forget.. :)

The River's Club made everything so easy. I've recommended them to every one of my recently engaged friends. Pricing was very reasonable, considering what you get out of their package: a dedicated reception event planner, the reception space (which is not shared, they only do one even at a time), the food, the bar package, the cake - they also took care of linen rentals and lighting for an extra cost. As opposed to a few sites we interviewed, the River's Club was not only open to unique, custom ideas - they welcomed them and were excited to help (and I had a lot!!). The bar was stocked with our special alcohol/beer requests at no extra charge. Emily Faust was our event director and she was exceptional - she worked with me for at least a year in advance (including several status meetings in person) and made sure that on the actual wedding day, I was not worried or bothered with a single thing. They also do not charge hourly to rent the space. We got to start whenever we wanted and we weren't rushed out at the end of the evening - our reception lasted as long as our bar package was booked for. The food was great as well. I'm still recieving compliments from our friends and family that our wedding was one of the most fun and 'put together' weddings they've ever attended. I attribute a lot of that to the River's Club.

My husband, Jayson and I are very happy that we selected The Rivers Club for our wedding day! We could not have chosen a more beautiful and elegant place! The food was outstanding and the dance floor was nice and spacious for our guests to dance literally ALL night long! The help provided by Emily Faust at the Rivers Club (she was our coodinator) was absolutely exceptional! She was very friendly and helpful, also curteous and professional! We also feel it was very well priced for the exquisite service provided! We highly recommend the Rivers Club and we know that anyone will be just as happy as we were! They made our day the most memorable ever!

Emily Faust is a goddess sent from heaven. Emily handled every detail of my reception and it turned out to be AMAZING. At our initial consultation, Emily asked for us to state what we envisioned our reception to be like. Then she quickly turned and said, just imagine if you didn't have to worry about making sure this & that was taken care of....because her job was to ensure we had the perfect memorable evening. And that she did....We didn't have to worry about a thing. The ambience was spectular, the food delicious, the beverage plentiful. My guest raved all night and are still raving about our reception. Emily not only added the finishing touches to memorable day...it was stress-free for my husband and I. I highly recommend the River Club and Emily.~Tamica Mickle
