    Picture perfect

    We cannot thank and recommend Riverdale Manor enough for their outstanding and exceptional work as our wedding venue. The collaboration and preparation in the buildup was absolute first class, the communication and expertise was second to none, and of course- the big day- everything was flawless. The execution of every little detail and nuance throughout the many stages of the whole day was perfect, and the party we always wanted to throw happened because Riverdale Manor. It was not only the most fun and best day of our lives, but we have continuously received glowing feedback from our guests about every aspect of the wedding- the food, the service, the venue, the vendors, everything. Riverdale made that happen. Again, we cannot thank and recommend Riverdale enough. We will never forget our beautiful wedding day.

    Working at Riverdale is always a great day. They are extremely good at communicating with vendors about delivery times and answering questions at set up . It is a beautiful venue whether rain or shine on your wedding day. The grounds are well cared for and the space for reception is beautiful and a pretty backdrop no matter your color scheme for the day . Everything looks beautiful in the space , it is the perfect backdrop for your day . From the River that runs beside it to the pavilion for those days that maybe are not excatly idea for your guests to be outside (and it still feels like you are outside! such a plus. ) The staff is always super helpful and kind . You are in the best hands at Riverdale Manor ! It is truly a gem in Lancaster Co.
