From the reviews

Nice wedding. The ceremony was in front of the river which was very beautiful but chilly and windy. The cocktail food was delicious and plentiful. The bartenders were very efficient and friendly. We needed a golf cart from the car to the venue which was fine. The dinner was okay, small portions.

★★★★☆ — Melissa, Oct 2023

We attended a beautiful wedding here. It is true that the restrooms are in a trailer, but you could hardly notice as the trailer is very clean and has the appearance of a regular bathroom. The venue itself is very pretty, and the view of the river is beautiful.

★★★★☆ — Jamie, Jul 2023

Gorgeous Delaware River views during Magic Hour. Stunning German-engineered party tent. Attentive, polite staff. We were honored to have been invited to this gorgeous venue we have unwittingly lived near our entire lives.

★★★★★ — Stephan, Nov 2023

I attended a wedding at the River’s Edge venue on April 8th, 2023. One of the highlights of our time at River’s Edge (other than the wedding) was one of your employees named Sarah. She tended to our table like we were her family; she was so personable. A total Rockstar when it comes to customer service delivery.

Getting married at River's Edge Garden Pavilion

River's Edge Garden Pavilion comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
