A Wedding Venue Near Cincinnati That Doesn't Feel Like One

Forty-five minutes from downtown, a restored 1869 estate above the Ohio River with private overnight suites and a single wedding per weekend.

Dates fill quickly for peak weekends. Check live availability or speak with our innkeeper.

Why Riverside Inn

Most Cincinnati wedding venues are ballrooms, breweries, or country clubs that run two events a day. Riverside Inn is something different: a private historic estate just across the river in Warsaw, Kentucky, where your wedding is the only wedding on property all weekend.

Couples drive out from Hyde Park, Mason, Anderson Township, and northern Kentucky to trade hotel ballrooms for gardens, river views, and a place their families can actually sleep.

Closer to Cincinnati than you think

Take US-42 South or I-71 to KY-35. You'll be at the gates in roughly 45 minutes from the Banks, 35 from CVG, and an hour from Mason or West Chester. Far enough that your guests feel they've truly left town. Close enough that no one has to fly.

Gardens, gazebo, and the Ohio River as your backdrop

Gardens, gazebo, and the Ohio River as your backdrop

Exchange vows under the original 1869 gazebo or in the mature gardens facing the river. Sunset over the water makes for the photographs city venues simply can't replicate, and the property includes both indoor and tented options for weather backup.

03

Overnight accommodations are part of the package

Five king suites, each with a private bath, sleep your immediate family and wedding party. Depending on the package, your stay covers one or two nights, with Friday rehearsal access available on weekend packages, so no one is driving back to a Cincinnati hotel at midnight.

  • One wedding per weekend versus three per day
  • Transparent pricing posted publicly, not "request a quote"
  • On-site innkeepers, not a sales rep you'll meet once
  • Outdoor ceremony, indoor backup, and river views included
  • Family stays on property instead of in a chain hotel
Photography opportunities you can't fake

Photography opportunities you can't fake

Mature trees, garden pathways, the white gazebo, the brick estate, a working barn, and the river itself. Photographers regularly tell us they get a full editorial gallery without ever leaving the property.

Frequently Asked

Questions guests ask

How far is Riverside Inn from downtown Cincinnati?

About 45 minutes southwest of downtown Cincinnati along scenic US-42, with easy access from I-71 and I-75. Most guests arrive in under an hour from Hyde Park, Mason, or northern Kentucky.

Can guests stay overnight at the venue?

Yes. Our five private suites accommodate up to ten of your closest people across the wedding weekend, and depending on the package, your stay includes one or two nights.

Do you host both ceremony and reception on-site?

Yes. Couples typically marry in the gardens or at the gazebo above the Ohio River, then move to the tented lawn or Carriage House for dinner and dancing.

Is the venue exclusive on our wedding day?

Always. We host one wedding per weekend so the inn, grounds, and innkeepers are yours alone.

What is the maximum guest count?

Up to 200 guests for ceremonies and 100 for seated receptions under the tent. Smaller intimate weddings and elopements are welcome too.
