The Maola at Riverside

Amazing venue and staff

From day one, the team at The Maola at Riverside made us feel like our wedding was their top priority. They communicated with us every step of the way, always thorough and responsive to our questions and concerns. What really stood out was how carefully they listened to our vision and then arranged the space to match exactly what we had imagined. Beyond just providing the venue, they offered solid vendor recommendations that helped us build our dream team. The space itself is absolutely stunning and truly one-of-a-kind, and we loved seeing how they continue to add new inventory for couples. We can't thank them enough for going above and beyond to make our day special.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **An Amazing Experience at The Maola at Riverside Event Center!** I cannot say enough wonderful things about **The Maola at Riverside Event Center**. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, but what truly made our experience exceptional was the amazing staff. As an event designer and coordinator, having a venue team willing to work alongside you makes all the difference. The staff was extremely helpful with the venue’s inventory, table setup, and helping us execute our overall design. They made sure we had what we needed and that everything ran smoothly throughout the event. A huge THANK YOU to **Ciarra, Heather, Anika, Ellis, Katlyn, and Lisa**! You all did an outstanding job and made our experience so much easier. **Ellis**, a special thank you for jumping in and helping me and my team lay that floor decal down! Let me tell you, getting that decal down on the floor was HARD in itself! 😂 It definitely took teamwork, patience, and determination, and I truly appreciated you being right there helping us get it done. Then came the breakdown! **Ciarra and Anika**, thank you for helping us pull that same floor decal back up. If putting it down was hard, pulling it back up was another challenge all by itself! 😂 That decal did NOT want to come off that floor, but you stayed right there helping us until we got it up. **Heather**, you were absolutely amazing! Not only did you jump in and help us with the table setup, but you also helped fill **all of our candle vases with water**. You were running back and forth, making sure each vase was filled to just the right level. Those details matter tremendously when you're executing a large event design. Your willingness to keep going and make sure everything was right saved my team valuable time and helped bring the entire design together. **Thank you, Heather!** ❤️ And **Katlyn**, you were such a sweetheart! ❤️ You made sure **each table had the correct number of chairs**, which was extremely important to our seating design. You were helping us get those tables together while carrying your baby on your hip! You were so sweet, patient, and willing to help wherever you could. I will never forget that. Thank you for making sure those little details were taken care of because those are the things that help an event run smoothly. What impressed me even more was that the staff didn't disappear once the celebration was over. They also stepped in and helped us during the breakdown of the décor. After putting so much time and energy into designing an event, that extra assistance at the end of the night means more than people realize. This staff was truly **AMAZING** to me. Their kindness, teamwork, professionalism, and willingness to help made a lasting impression on me and my team. I sincerely hope **She Du2 Much LLC** has the opportunity to work at **The Maola at Riverside Event Center** again. I will gladly tell the world about this beautiful venue and the outstanding service we received. Thank you, Maola at Riverside, for not only providing a gorgeous venue but for having a staff that truly understands **TEAMWORK**. You helped us execute our vision from setup all the way through breakdown, and I am incredibly grateful. **Five stars from me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** — **Torri Parmley Thibodeaux** **She Du2 Much LLC**

We could write a book on how much we love Maola at Riverside. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, there are so many different spaces and the venue is flexible to let you use any or all of them! There are few venues in the area that offer what Maola does in terms of space, and even furniture which is included! The entire staff and the owners are the most kind, gracious, and patient people you will meet. Everyone on the staff took time to ensure that our needs and wants were met for our wedding, especially Kaitlyn who went above and beyond. No review could be enough to say how much we love this venue and the people who work here!

I cannot say enough about this venue. Not only is the venue so unique and absolutely stunning, but the staff really make the experience special. They go above and beyond to make couples feel valued and heard. They were so incredibly accommodating and generous throughout the process. I wish I could relive my wedding day at The Maola over and over again. They helped make our day truly magical.

I don't know where to begin as everything was perfect. The rooms for the girls and guys to dress and prepare were so spacious and comfortable. The bar and lighting had a "club" feeling. The dining room was very comfortable for eating and had plenty of room for dancing. I thought the acoustics were good too. Oh and the restrooms were very clean and very convenient near the bar. The ramp made them very accessible. I should have mentioned how nice the chapel was. It felt perfect, like a small country church. I definitely felt God's presence during the ceremony.
