River Crest Banquet Facility

verything we needed. If you are looking for a great place to host your reception I HIGHLY recommend River Crest!

flexible and helpful. Nino answered all my questions quickly (and I had a lot), helped up figure out layout and planning, worked with our other vendors and was accommodating to our guests! We could not ask for more, the space gave us options and the beautiful patio and outdoor space gave us a lot of photo options and worked as our dream ceremony space. And as if you needed more reason to call the food was FABULOUS and many of our guests have commented on how wonderful everything was. Five stars for sure!

h throughout the whole process! It was nice to work with him, being that he is the owner of the facility! The food was amazing as well and the only regret that we had was that we didn't request a carry out bag to go with us afterwards because we were starving once we finally got to the hotel! I would recommend everybody that wants a great time to rent this facility as your vendor too!

d waitstaff were attentive and professional, and the food was simply delicious. All my guests were commenting on how good it was. There are two reception halls so two weddings can happen at the same time, so when I was choosing venues I was worried this might be disruptive from my experience at other venues that host many weddings at once. But besides a few guests from the other wedding and signing our guest book (which I just laughed about, it really wasn't a problem), we couldn't even hear that there was another wedding happening (although our times were staggered by 90 minutes, so that helped). River Crest was also far and beyond the best value of all the venues I looked into, which was really important to us, and I couldn't be happier with how our wedding went. Definitely recommend!

ce, both rooms... It was so great to have the dance room separate from the dining... joined by double doors. The guests loved that!!! The tables were set beautifully and the dining area was gorgeous! The dance room was had regular tables and cocktail tables for people to sit at. We used their sound system which was excellent! The food was excellent as well, we had several people approach us at the reception commenting on how delicious it was. We had the grilled chicken (boneless), Italian sausage, zucchini, baby red potatoes, spinach fettuccine which was outstanding and Greek salad. It was all fabulous! The waitstaff were very attentive and so polite. In good conscience, I cant leave anything less than 5 stars. We were that pleased with everything in it's entirety . We appreciate you all very much. Sincerely, The David Johnson Family David, Nancy, Faylyn, Jonathan, Nathan and (Robert and Shelby Kub)... the newlyweds. (:

pace. Some people have their ceremony out there, but we did not. We did put a fire pit out there and have a lounge area - so nice with the November chill in the air and the trees all strung up with twinkle lights. The staff is unmatched in their customer service - they really do want to make sure that your special day is all that you would like it to be. Accommodating for nearly every question or request. One of the servers continued to come over and make sure that I was taken care of - enough food, did I get cake, do I need a drink...so nice and made the evening perfect. Nino is the best! Thank you, River Crest!

es book and have their wedding there as well. I love the location of River Crest and the garden patio is beautiful and gave a feeling of nature in the city. The food was excellent! Nino can personalize it as well, for the appetizer/cocktail hour we had sport themed food, such as, nachos, mini hot dogs, soft pretzels, to show my husbands love of sports! Also had a chocolate fountain and a pizza snack at the end of the night. We went with a band and they had plenty of room to set up and the dance floor was packed all night. I can't say enough great things about River Crest, it will be a day I will always remember!

right there if we needed anything. I recommend River Crest to anyone.

a creek runs through as well. It was a spectacular place to take really nice pictures after the ceremony right on site, which saved us a lot of time. The owner does a fine job running his facility. He and his staff were very professional and the service during the reception was exceptional. You can tell he truly cares about delivering quality service and product. The food was delicious, and the feedback from our guests was overwhelmingly positive. The reception hall itself is clean and modern with an open view of the outdoor space through large windows on one side of the hall. Overall, we were so happy with deciding to have it at River Crest. The best part of all was that we didn't have to exceed our budget to make it happen. It was a simple but elegant wedding that we were able to plan with the wonderful value River Crest provided. My husband and I would 100% highly recommend this facility for anyone planning a wedding or other major event.

nues out there. We visited River Crest and couldn't believe we could get a 3-course meal with open bar for $32 a person! Nino helped us find the best package for our event and our budget. He even helped us pick our date, suggesting the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend because he could give us a discount for that date. Further, my husband and I are vegetarian, thus we wanted a 100% vegetarian menu. Nino worked with us to create a menu that fit our needs and the food was amazing. The eggplant parmesan was a hit, even with our meat-eating family and friends. It just goes to show that you can have a beautiful wedding reception without having to pay $30,000! River Crest is your answer for a simply elegant, affordable wedding. Just because it was affordable didn't mean that the quality and service lacked. The staff at River Crest were impeccable. They made me feel special all night by calling me by my married name, Mrs. Janes. They treated the wedding party like royalty! Although we had a buffet, serve staff were at the ready to help guests (including the bride in a white dress) carry their dishes back to their seat. They also took drink orders and served drinks. The patio was open all night for guests to come and go. The outdoor cocktail tables and lit trees made for a beautiful evening ambiance for people who wanted to get some air or take a break from dancing. The staff here are down-to-earth and really make you feel special. Do not judge this book by its cover - from the road it looks like a warehouse. However, once you enter and get the full ambiance of the elegant room as well as the patio, lawns and river, you will fall in love! I cannot thank this place enough for existing because on a small wedding budget, we had a beautiful, fairy tale evening where we felt like royalty!

ng and knows her stuff. the kitchen is extremely dirty and belongs on kitchen nightmares and wastes too much food.

re is an open bar included in the price per plate. The one thing that was a small issue was that their glasses at the bar were a little small. Each of their rooms has a patio area with a beautiful view. I was extremely happy with the venue. There is a memorial park across the street as well, which was a great place to take pictures.

little unusual as my daughter and son-in-law were married by Darth Vadar. The food was simply scrumptious, the waitstaff was marvelous, the venue clean and beautiful. I would highly recommend this venue. Again, we were very happy!!!!!!!!!

and handled every curve ball I threw at him like it was nothing. The food at Rivercrest is delicious! We went with the family style menu and everybody was very impressed. The bar service was fantastic as well, the bartender repeatedly came over to us to make sure we had everything we needed. This facility is beautiful and the staff is wonderful!

nd contacts of all our vendors to be sure everything was taken care of. The food was amazing. All in all I highly recommend them.

, and accommodating to all of our needs and requests. The prices are very fair and you don't have to upgrade to an entire new package if you want a few things changed here and there. The food was great, the bar tenders were fast and poured delicious drinks. Overall this was a great wedding venue!

ar. It was the best place for wanting to have a wedding but cannot afford 10,000 just for hall rental. All the people were awesome and so nice and helpful. anytime i had a question i always got to talk to someone. my overall experience there was amazing!! the food was great! I would occasionally hear from a friend or someone that went to a wedding there, before i got married, or had a party there that the food was good and all the people were great and they were! i would recommend this place to everyone i know!

from our guests. The ceremony, hall, and food where all above my expectations. One of our guests noted that his niece had recently gotten married and spent far more then we did and had no where near as nice of a wedding as ours. Nino and his staff where accommodating to our needs and Mary helped alleviate the stress of the day helping things flow smoothly. I can't thank them enough for helping to make our wedding a day we'll never forget.

, there were lights that lit up the tree and my photographer got some great pics. I received many compliments on the food. Nino & Rebecca were awesome and always promptly answered all of my questions. They are very accomodating.

ack of the area. Nino, the owner, was very professional during the planning and made me feel like I didn't have anything to worry about for the big day. Nino stepped up when needed during the ceremony and during the reception. We had a buffet dinner for the reception and the food was fabulous and hot! The staff was professional and plolite and made sure everyone was happy! I was so pleased with the way River Crest helped host my wedding and reception and I would highly recommend Nino and River Crest for anyone's wedding and/or reception. The service and food was impeccable!!

When we tasted the food, it was wonderful. When it came to the actual event, they rushed us to eat. The food was ready way before the time they were supposed to serve us. As a result, they were all trying to rush us through our pictures and moments after the ceremony ended. The food was definitely not as good as it was the first time! Everyone else seemed to like it fine, but mine was cold and tough. One of the dishes was overcooked. The site coordinator was very mad because they were supposed to put away the tables and vacuum up before they left which they didn't. In setting up, they had to go back for more linens because they didn't bring enough. The most positive thing I can say is that the server who took care of me was fantastic. She was attentive and kind.

was very, very nice. They're more accommodating than I could have ever expected! Thank you so very much for helping to make such an amazing night for us and our friends and family!

egetarian guest (she loved the eggplant parmesan). The food was delicious (try the grilled chicken) and we couldn't have asked for more. :) I recommend River Crest for your wedding!

always asking if we had everything we needed, making sure we had a full drink in our hands, and that everything went smoothly. The food was wonderful, and everyone keeps telling us how awesome the reception was.

op talking about it. We got married outside in their garden by the pond and the set up was wonderful. The owner and staff was WONDERFUL and VERY HELPFUL. They worked with me on everything. They made sure that they keep it about making us happy. I would recommend this place to everyone. Not to mention we got ALL OF THIS FOR A GREAT PRICE.

azing photos! it was an amazing night, and the food was even more amazing. We have gotten so many compliments, and our hotel was 1 mile down the road.

thing you need. Nino the manager/owner is readily available and even onsite during your event! We had a worry and stress free planning process with the River Crest. They respond promptly to emails and phone calls. I couldn't have been happier with the reception we had there. The food is incredible! The serving staff is friendly and attentive. This is a gem in Oakland County. Make sure you check it out!

have also had their wedding and/or recetion here. Would recommend it to anyone! Thanks!

a discount per person for being on a Friday and in the month of November. My wedding was November 19th and too cold to be outside so they pulled an arch inside and we had the ceremony right on the dance floor. The food was excellent and all my guests were very impressed. The service was great and I loved that the server for the head table went out of her way to call my by my new married name, it was very cute. My husband and his brother could not figure out how to tighten their tuxedo pants and when they got to River Crest Nino showed them how and they were fixed right up! My husband was so thankful he didn't have to waddle down the aisle! I HIGHLY recommend River Crest for weddings and will use it again should I have any other banquet needs.

u every step of the way and is so helpful. He gave me a list of perferred vendors and that is how we found our Officiant for the wedding. Would recommend to others!

street that also provided a nice backdrop for pictures. (within walking distance from the venue) My guestes were then able to go directly inside for drinks and a few light appetizers while we did pictures. The food was excellent and they were able to accomidate all the decorating we wanted to do to the room.
