"We couldn’t have dreamed of a better wedding venue than River’s Bend. The setting is stunning, and it was amazing to be able to have so many of our family and friends stay on-site. Even though it was early April and the weather was a bit unpredictable, all of our guests had an incredible time walking around the property, visiting the redwoods, and stopping by some nearby wineries. Laurie and the team were great to work with- we always felt like we had thought partners when working through tricky potential issues like rain and COVID. We appreciated the flexibility we had to turn the weekend into exactly our vision, and we felt they were truly invested in making the weekend as special as possible for us and our guests. Oh also, the food from the in-house caterer (we used them for the reception dinner and brunch) was great! A few of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We highly recommend River’s Bend to anyone who wants an outdoors, magical, fun-filled wedding weekend.

"For a rustic-chic, outdoor wedding with vintage flair that won't break the bank, this place was a perfect choice for us. It has all the elements necessary for an amazing weekend with great family and friends. We bbq'd, walked the gardens, swam in the river, and enjoyed campfires under the stars. With a little imagination, this place transforms magically and the natural beauty of the land is unbeatable! If you are a foody, we had nothing but outstanding reviews about how great the food was. They use almost everything they can from their very own gardens. My husband and I were a bit apprehensive as the caterer did not offer any tastings at the time but we took a leap of faith and I believe it turned out better than we could have imagined. Even our very critical (though lovable) guests were delighted by the meals. If given the opportunity, we would do it all over again just the same. The place is truly amazing and our guests felt the same." E. Carrero
“Having our wedding at River’s Bend was a truly magical experience from start to finish. The location was gorgeous and ideal for our vision of a rustic weekend celebration. There’s something special about the property — the redwoods all around, the peaceful Navarro river, wide open meadows, the wild birds flying through the sky, the lingering summer sunsets, the cozy country cabins — that makes it a completely unique and entirely special setting. I can’t imagine having our celebration anywhere else.
The setup was also ideal for our wedding. Having the majority of our guests stay right there onsite was convenient, affordable, and incredibly fun! Our ceremony under the giant oaks was lovely, the deck made for a perfect dance floor, and playing music by the campfire was a beautiful end to the day.
We had both the wedding meal and the next morning’s brunch catered by River’s Bend. It was outstanding, and we were especially thrilled with the food. Not having the opportunity to do any tastings beforehand, I was a little bit worried that I was taking a chance on the catering — this was absolutely not the case. The food was delicious and all of our guests were delighted. I highly recommend using the professional, experienced staff at River’s Bend as a catering service.
All in all, our experience at River’s Bend was fantastic." Courtney and Danny Chaves
