Why Riverside Inn

Not every wedding wants a guest list of two hundred. Some couples want a Tuesday morning at the river, fifty of their closest, or just each other and an officiant. We built our smallest packages for exactly that.

Same estate, same gazebo, same care, scaled to the day you actually want.

Three small-wedding formats

Three small-wedding formats

  • Elopement (2 guests): ceremony at the gazebo, suite for the night, officiant available
  • Micro wedding (10 to 25): garden ceremony, intimate dinner in the Carriage House
  • Intimate gathering (25 to 50): ceremony, cocktail hour on the lawn, seated dinner
02

Guest count options, in practice

Two? The gazebo and a witness. Ten? The gardens. Twenty-five? The Carriage House for dinner. Forty? Add the lawn. Fifty? You're at the threshold of our Intimate Wedding package, which adds the tent and bumps the cap to 100.

Planning guidance for small weddings

  • Pick the suite first, then the ceremony site, then the meal
  • Choose weekday dates for the most flexibility
  • Build in one hour for portraits at golden hour
  • Keep the speeches short and the food slow
  • Plan brunch the next morning, not just dinner that night

Why couples choose small here

Because the property doesn't require scale to feel right. The gardens, the bluff, the gazebo, and the inn itself were built for a private home. A 25-person wedding here feels like exactly what it is: a private gathering on a private estate.

Frequently Asked

Questions guests ask

What counts as an intimate wedding here?

Anything from a two-person elopement up to 50 seated guests. Above 50 we move you into our larger Intimate Wedding package, which handles up to 100.

Can we get married on a weekday?

Yes, and we encourage it. Weekday and Sunday-Thursday dates have lower pricing and far more calendar flexibility, often available within 60 to 90 days.

Do you offer all-inclusive elopement packages?

Yes. We provide an on-staff officiant, and photography, simple florals, and a celebratory dinner can all be arranged through our preferred vendor network.

Is the suite included for the night of the wedding?

Yes. Every micro-wedding and elopement package includes at least one night in a king suite, typically the night of the wedding.

How do we start planning?

Send a wedding inquiry with your guest count, preferred season, and three potential dates. We typically reply with availability and a custom proposal within 24 hours.

Is catering included or do we hire outside?

Catering is in-house for every package, from a two-person elopement dinner to a 50-guest seated meal. One vendor, one menu conversation, no coordination headaches.

How late can a small wedding go?

Outdoor music has to end by the local midnight noise ordinance. For most intimate weddings, dinner is wrapping by 9 and the night naturally winds down well before then.

What does the suite for the night cost if we add nights?

Additional suite nights are $235 to $290 depending on the suite and the season. All five suites have king beds and private walk-in showers (no tubs on property).
