I didn't give it 5 stars because the lady who owned it when my husband and I got married there a little over 2 years ago. She was very rude, and once she got her money her personality changed from super nice and helpful to not giving a crap. What I'm trying to say is, building and location...great. The owner is the only reason why I didn't give this place 5 stars.

There is space for the kids to play and views of the mountains. The other review, giving one star to some random guy (not the venue) is equally as scandalous as what her officiate did at her wedding. I feel that it should be taken down, as it is irrelevant. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Riverside Center. A beautiful and functional space with the added edification of the 9/11 memorial. Cheers.

Rent Wenatchee supplied the special items that we needed for our daughter's wedding last weekend…read more Laura, the owner, went out of her way to get candle vases, burlap table runners, and wooden folding chairs for the reception and delivered everything on time to the winery venue. Our daughter wanted a very specific look for the reception, and we couldn't find these items for rent anywhere in Wenatchee. However, after contacting Laura, she was able to purchase these items and rent them to us for a very reasonable price. She was extremely friendly, professional, and accommodating, and she communicated with me whenever it was necessary. Most of our guests were from out of town, and they were extremely impressed with how beautiful everything looked. I highly recommend Rent Wenatchee for anything you need for event rentals. If you don't see a item that you need on their website, contact Laura and she'll do everything she can to get it for you.

Working with Tim Putnam of Smokeblossom Catering turned out to be a completely and utterly…read morenightmare experience. Last winter (Dec 2017) we signed a contract with Tim to cater our wedding in the Methow (late summer 2018). We then promptly sent him a deposit check for $1,500. After not hearing anything for a week, we discovered that the deposit check had been stolen out of our mailbox at our home in Seattle. After this discovery, we immediately reached out to Tim to both send him a new check, as well as get his help by confirming with our bank that he had never received the stolen check. Tim had absolutely no empathy or understanding of the situation. He immediately backed out from the catering agreement which left us scrambling. In order for us to recover the stolen funds, our bank needed Tim to sign a document stating that he had not cashed the check and hadn't received payment. Tim absolutely refused to do this. He repeatedly accused myself, my fiance, and my sister (who was assisting with planning) of stealing the check ourselves, trying to steal his identity and personal information, and lying to him. Multiple times he hung up on us while telephoning and behaved completely irrational. We worked incredibly hard to make the process smooth for him. We spent hours on the phone with his bank and our bank, as well as the Seattle Police Department, trying to recover the $1,500 funds. We sent Tim written confirmation and documentation of our engagement and impending wedding, but he only threatened us and continued to accuse us of fraud and attempting to steal his personal information. In total, we spent over 50 hours trying to sort out this mess. We were absolutely stunned and heartbroken throughout the whole process, having not only lost a large portion of our wedding budget, but also being treated so poorly during what should have been a happy time. Our initial impression of Tim was positive, which is why we initially signed a contract to do our catering with him. However, as we worked to recover the funds (which we were never able to recover the $1,500 due to Tim's staunch refusal to confirm to the bank that he never received payment), it became extremely clear that we could never, ever recommend Tim and Smokeblossom Catering to anyone. I cannot speak to Tim's culinary abilities, but I would advise anyone interested in Tim Putnam and his catering company to steer clear of this irrational man and his business and his poor and distasteful business and communication skills. Thankfully, we found another fantastic and local catering company to work with, and the food at our wedding was lovely and enjoyed by all.

My husband and I had been hearing about this place since we got to town. It took us a little bit…read moreto figure out their hours as they primarily do catering but open most Fridays and Saturdays for dinner. Everything we ordered was fantastic. We tried a large selection of the menu as it seems to all be Chef's choice and varies quite a bit. Each dish was a unique take on an otherwise typical dish and done with a noticeable reverence for playful and balanced flavors. The chef and owner also has a selection of local and specifically chosen wines so don't be afraid to ask for a recommendation. You will not be disappointed!

There was a heat wave of 95+ weather on both days and to our shock and surprise, the party bus/shuttle on Sat arrived at our Airbnb in Moses Lake with NO A/C! Needless to say, we made the best of it but it was literally miserable. Our driver, Paul, said he would make sure our shuttle the next day would be equipped with a/c. On Sunday when we got on the bus, there was this tiny portable a/c unit that was blasting hot air out. This was simply not acceptable for the second day in a row. Our group tried to contact this company multiple times to simply ask that they give us a discount for this situation and nobody cared to answer/respond. Keep in mind we paid over $2k+ for their 2 day service and we did NOT get the comfort and convenience they promised. p.s. Our driver Paul was accommodating and nice so to clarify, this review isn't about him but the company.
