Happy couple married in August

May 2024

Wow! Such a great day!

Wow! Recently had the honour of hosting my parents wedding here and from start to finish, could not have been better. The staff on every level are absolutely fantastic. The effort put in from listening to our wants and needs, to the finest of details in decoration was phenomenal. Food is fabulous, location could not be more beautiful, inside, out and all round one of Aberdeen's best hidden gems. Absolutely will recommend to anyone looking the wedding if your dreams.

My grandsons wedding was the most wonderful day. I was apprehensive about attending because of my mobility not being what it used too and I was reviving from a hip replacement. I wanted to share in this special time with my family so I went along. The venue was really easy to access and where there were a few steps they put a ramp down for me without any fuss at all. The food was perfect and the entire day ran without any snags. I will be back for my 80th birthday party :)

Response from the venue

Thank you, for your lovely comments and I am happy to hear we were able to make you feel so comfortable.

The owners of this very unique venue are really welcoming. We were considering an alternative venue for our wedding until we spoke to Lauren. We recommend every couple visit this venue before deciding to strike it from their list. The venue is so different from anywhere we have seen so far.

Response from the venue

Thank you ☺️ We are both really looking forward to your day.

Great day with Ian and Beth! Super chilled out and relaxed weeding venue.

🎀💗 i had the most amazing day at Riverside Cafe Bar for our baby shower! a massive thank you to everyone for coming and for all of the lovely gifts given to us for our baby girl. you can tell that she is so loved already🥰 i hope yous all had a great time

Our retirement celebration was great. Lovely food and drinks in a fabulous setting. Staff were excellent.

I attended a friend’s wedding. The venue was set up beautifully with amazing attention to detail. The team headed up by Lauren couldn’t have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The whole day passed by without a hitch. The bride and groom were so happy on their special day. The food and service was amazing. Prices for drinks were very good. They have a great range of beer, spirits and even cocktails. Will definitely be visiting the venue again.

Response from the venue

It’s lovely to hear from a couples guests, your comments are things we hear frequently from wedding guests. We don’t see the need to charge premium prices, personally I’m always shocked when I attend weddings in hotels and get charged a fortune for standard drinks. Your feedback is really helpful Thank you :)
