I rely quite heavily on Yelp for making decisions about businesses, but like so many others, I…read moredon't contribute nearly enough to the community with my own reviews. After my wedding this past weekend, I felt I had to come on here and share my experience with our venue, Riverside Receptions. My wife and I were intent on having a unique wedding. We wanted something outdoorsy, and within a 200 mile radius of Detroit. We were also intent on finding a venue that would let us do things the way we wanted. So often, you see that the best venues make you use their caterer, place restrictions on how long the bar can be open, etc, and we wanted to avoid that to make sure we could throw the best party possible. We scoured the internet, and found virtually no options that met these criteria. When we came upon RR's website, we were obviously impressed by the pictures. However, we always assume that pictures are deceiving. So, when we visited the venue for the first time, we were astounded. Seriously, this is the most beautiful place you can imagine. The precision and care that went into the design of RR is mind blowing. Every detail is perfect - it's like Disney. John, the owner, was absolutely wonderful to work with. He let us do whatever we wanted, and provided tons of support in terms of pulling everything together. We had our set up at 10am, started the cocktail hour at 3pm, and didn't have to be out of the venue until midnight. How often can you find a wedding venue where the party is 9 hours long? And, since we were allowed to bring in our own bar and our own caterer, we were able to save thousands when compared to other venues. I've read other reviews online saying that RR is expensive. These reviewers are *insane*. You couldn't possibly find a venue as beautiful as this and spend less money. In the end, the comments from the guests ranged from "How the hell did you find this place?" to "This can't be real". Our goal was to wow people, and RR made that possible. Now, there's always a catch. For RR, it's that the venue is in the middle of absolutely nowhere. This is kind of cool, because you're totally isolated, but it does add headaches to the planning process. The closest hotels to the venue are in the middle of Three Rivers, about 10 miles away. I strongly recommend using the Super 8. I know what you're thinking: "Super 8? Sounds gross". But, it's actually quite nice, and much closer than some other hotels down in the Sturgis area. It's also very reasonable, as one would expect from a Super 8. Now, if your guests are drinking, you really need to have a solution for getting everyone to and from the venue safely. So, you'll have to spend some money to hire shuttles. The closet vendor we could find was in Kalamazoo. This added some cost to the event, but this was more than offset by the savings we realized on the caterer and bar. Moral of the story: For us, having our wedding at Riverside Receptions was the best decision we've ever made. Just visit the venue, and you'll understand why.

I filled out his form on his website and within minutes he called me back. This threw me off because I went to contact 4 DJs before him, and I didn't receive a response for days. Jason was very explanatory towards what he does. He is very detail oriented, but also works very well off his cuff. He is a constant in an event of constantly changing variables. He takes the requested music for the open dance portion of the ceremony, holds off drunken, inappropriate, and nonsensical request. Most importantly, he understands how to read a crowd, and how to get and keep people on the dance floor. I highly recommend Hashtag for your event.

We had a buffet luncheon for 85 people for four and half hours in order to accommodate the various work schedules of our employees. The buffet included chicken, roast beef, roasted vegetables, green beans almondine, roasted rosemary potatoes, salad and rolls.

The response from our staff was overwhelming and everything from the food, service and presentation was great. And, an added bonus is that all proceeds go directly to Real Services Meals on Wheels program - catering for a cause!
