Testimonials

Carla Marquez

Thank you to the entire Riverside banquet hall family. My experience with you was amazing. I recently had my wedding in the richview hall and the decorations and food was everything I could have asked for. The staff was friendly and very helpful. I would recommend this venue to anyone for any occasion. Once again thank you to Riverside for making my wedding day complete!

Theresa Yong

“We have hosted two events here and both have been great. The room is very nice and the people are easy to work with. The food is good too. For fundraising events they are willing to work with you to get a good price and Sue is very supportive”

George Manampuram

“Our wedding reception was held at the Riverside Signature Hall in Surrey, and we were blown away. To be honest we were a bit nervous on how the hall decorations would come out, but Sue Halabi who is the senior event planner at Riverside took it to a whole different level. The decorations were absolutely gorgeous and we along with everyone at the hall was left speechless. Sue was extremely patient with our requests throughout the whole wedding process and very easy to work with. Special thanks also to Bobby who runs Riverside for being flexible with our needs. Thank you Riverside for making our Wedding a memorable one!”
