The Riviera

I originally wanted a rustic/barn themed wedding when I got engaged, unfortunately living in queens I wasn't able to find any barns within 30 miles and was dissapointed until I found this venue. The riviera is beautiful and rustic and has exposed bricks in the main room. Everyone here is so friendly and attentive and ready to answer all your questions. I went once with my fiancee and then wanted to show my maid of honor, Brittany was so sweet and accommodating, she allowed us to come that same day and went over all the information with us again. She was so friendly and makes the experience a fun one. I am definitely looking forward to having my wedding here in 2016. We are having a 200 guest wedding and will be able to do so under 20k. You can get married on site with a beautiful water background. This is definitely a must see for a romantic beautiful venue.

We couldn't be happier that we chose the Riviera for our wedding! From the minute I walked in I knew it was where we had to get married. The property is beautiful, the staff is attentive and friendly. We booked with Paul who worked with us to give us a great deal for what we wanted. He always answered my questions promptly and offered advice throughout the planning process. Day of, Paul was there to make sure everything was set up correctly and ran smoothly. Brittany was our bridal attendant and she was wonderful! She was attentive and helpful, bustling my dress after the ceremony, getting us food, checking on us to make sure we were good. Our guests raved about the food and how wonderful everything was. Unfortunately, we were so swept up in the evening that we barely ate. We seriously regret that when we saw pictures of the cocktail hour and all the desserts they had out. They even offered boxes to people who couldn't finish their meals or wanted to take some desserts with them. They were so wonderful, we would definitely recommend them!

The Riviera was a slam dunk every way you look at it. We chose it for a few reasons: it was beautiful (right on the water with a rustic interior - exposed brick, high ceilings), affordable, and a catering hall that would take care of all of the odds and ends for us. We worked with Brittany and Michelle during the planning stages - both were friendly and prompt at responding to emails. My one complaint is that they didn't reach out much (we had to remember when each of our pre-wedding payments were due, they didn't give any reminders), but that is a minor complaint. All pre-wedding planning went smoothly... And the wedding day itself blew us away! Our maitre d' was three steps ahead of us throughout the day: he knew what we needed and where we needed to be at every moment. Danielle, our bridal attendant, was off-the-charts amazing! She consistently checked in without overwhelming us, set up cocktail hour food in the bridal suite, gave us a platter of all our dinner foods to sample, and even bustled my dress when my MoH and I were stumped! Danielle also made sure the top layer of our cake was wrapped and sent home with us, a detail I would've been sad to have forgotten. The food was all phenomenal. Every time my drink was down on a table for more than a minute, a bartender gave me a full new one. Thanks to the staff at The Riviera, I was able to have a worry-free wedding day. I couldn't recommend it more highly!

The Riviera was everything we hoped it would be. Our wedding was just a few days ago, on October 10th and the venue was great. Everyone raved about the food and how beautiful the place was. Our bridal attendant was on the spot; making sure the bridal dress was bustled, that we had drinks in our hands at all times and made us a wonderful platter of food. Yes, we actually got to eat at our own wedding! We can't thank the venue enough. We dealt with both Michelle and Brittany and both were very helpful in the months leading to our wedding. I really encourage anyone who is looking at the Riviera to give it a go.

We recently got married at the Riviera. Our day was absolutely amazing. The Riviera is a gorgeous rustic place with incredible views of the bay. Paul, the Maître D, catered to our every need. The entire staff is friendly and pleasant to work with. Our guests raved about the variety of food at the cocktail hour and dinner was delicious as well. We highly recommend the Riviera for any couple looking for a romantic and beautiful setting for their wedding day.
