The perfect wedding venue
Rockwell was an absolutely beautiful venue for our wedding! From our first viewing of the space the team was nothing by helpful. Ji Hee and Eleanor were quick to respond to emails and worked closely with us to get a date secured. Our guests loved the space! We were fortunate to have great weather and were able to use the patio, but it would have been just as beautiful if weather didn’t allow. We could not recommend Rockwell enough!

Amazing Venue!
Rockwell On The River had pretty much everything we were looking for in a venue. It had a beautiful outdoor area where we did the ceremony and cocktail hour on the river. We got so many compliments about the outdoor area. The inside is quite large, but sections can be draped off to make it seem more intimate. There is a wonderful bridal suite upstairs at the venue that is away from the craziness where we relaxed before the ceremony and had a moment to eat some apps after it. The space really lights up with your florals, greenery and lights, so it is beautiful canvas for which you can work with your vendors to create. They were easy to work with and the venue comes with the bar (Venuelogic), who were also very flexible and easy to work with.
