"Riff City was the PERFECT choice for my wedding venue. Adrianne and her team went above and beyond to make sure that my day was amazing. I highly recommend this new venue for any event. Book it now! It rained all day and Adrianne was super accommodating - moving my outdoor ceremony inside to the first floor of Riff City. It worked out perfectly. I received so many compliments on how fun and unique the indoor ceremony space was. There was plenty of space for 70 guests to sit comfortably and watch the ceremony. I actually think I liked it better inside rather than outside. The reception was on the second floor, Riff City Social, and exceeded all of my expectations. I dropped off all decorations three days prior to the wedding and the staff set them all up for us and did an amazing job. The room looked so good! I love that they allowed us to have real candles lit on the tables. It really gave that space a special ambiance. The room is plenty big to accommodate a lot of dinner tables, dance floor, a large bar, gift tables, dessert tables, etc. Our guests have unanimously given rave reviews about the food, and I agree! The cocktail hour appetizers were great, my guests have gone out of their way to acknowledge the crab cakes and pork belly. Dinner service was great - beef was cooked perfectly (rare to find at a wedding) and everything on the menu was delicious. Adrianne was easy to work with to accommodate my gluten allergy, and provided kids meals for the younger guests. The staff was very friendly and accommodating the entire day. They made us special plates of appetizers so we wouldn't miss out while taking photos after the ceremony. They consistently made sure our drinks from the bar were full. The bartenders were great! They even sent us home with "to go" bottles of our signature cocktails. My photographers had tons of great locations/backdrops to shoot in. As my photos start to come back, it shows what a beautiful space this really is! My outside vendors (dj, photographer, photobooth, cake) all complimented Riff City on ease of coordination. There were zero hiccups. A couple days after the wedding, the team had all of our decorations, and things we forgot neatly packed for us to pickup and take home. Planning this event was so easy - Adrianne/Riff City were completely straight forward. We had everything planned in just a handful of emails and conference calls. I will definitely host future parties and events at Riff City!"
"We recently had our wedding at Riff City, and it was an unforgettable experience! The venue itself is stunning and offers a perfect blend of elegance while still feeling modern. Our planner, Adrienne, was phenomenal from start to finish, ensuring that every detail was taken care of and that our vision came to life. The food was incredible—our guests are still raving about it! Riff City also offered ample space for live music, which was a huge highlight for us and added a vibrant energy to our celebration. The bar service and selection were top-notch, providing a great variety of options for everyone. Despite the high-end experience, we found Riff City to be very affordable, offering excellent value for the quality of service and amenities provided. The team was incredibly helpful and professional, making our evening completely care-free. We didn't have to worry about a thing, which allowed us to fully enjoy our special day. We highly recommend Riff City to anyone looking for a fantastic wedding venue. Thank you to Adrienne and the entire team for making our wedding day perfect!"
"Not a full bar, they sell their own brew and bottles. Limited cocktails/mixed drinks. Pizza has no cheese on it and the crust was burned. Not worth the $4. Show was good though. I'd give them another try if they opened their menu food and drink wise."
"Seems like it would work as an ‘event space’ but not a good music venue at all. The bar sits right in the middle where you’d want to watch the band and eliminates sight lines for half of the place. Giant support columns (and I mean giant) eliminate sight lines for another 20%. So a place that could probably hold 500-700 people by code really can only support 75 who can actually see a band. Stage is too low. Sound is mid. Vibe is neither punk nor hardcore. Should’ve bought Nietsches. And kept Tappo Pizza."
"Having originally booked everything with Thin Man, we were very nervous going into our wedding about the new management. At first, things were a little rocky as they worked through kinks but all the staff (Adrienne, Lisa + Team) went above and beyond to make our day PERFECT. The food was amazing! Restaurant quality food at a wedding is very rare. Our guests are still talking about the food and many have asked if we brought in an outside caterer because they couldn’t believe it. We would recommend the new RIFF City for your events!"
