Our Wedding Day was a dream come true for my Husband and I. We were married in the Parklands Gardens, had our pre-reception drinks on the Riverfront Deck and our Reception in the Sunset Marquee. The day was perfect, the food was so delicious and the Riverlife staff were incredible. To Jordyn, our Event Manager, it is simply impossible for me to put into word how incredibly grateful we are for everything you did to make our wedding day a real life dream come true. Your reassurance about our wedding plans and work ethic is something you should be very proud of. My calmness on our wedding day was because of these things, I just knew our ceremony and reception would be exactly as we imagined because of you. But truthfully it was better than all our dreams! We will cherish the day forever and we cannot recommend Riverlife enough!

We recently had our wedding at Riverlife. The Parklands setting for our ceremony was beautiful and private and the City lights marquee along with the lawn was perfect for our reception. Our event manager Jordyn was a pleasure to work with. She made sure we had everything we asked for and nothing was too big an ask for her. She kept us up to date with everything going on with the Covid-19 restrictions and worked with us to make sure we stayed compliant but still had the beautiful wedding we wanted. All of the staff on the day we amazing. They were all presented well and service was perfect (i was never without a drink and there was always someone close by checking in) Jordyn along with her team made sure we had the most perfect day with absolutely no problems. We cannot recommend or thank Riverlife enough

Surprisingly Affordable and gorgeous location! A well oiled machine when it comes to service and enough delicious food to feed even the biggest eaters! At less than $100pp including furniture and venue package, this stunning location on the brisbane river with incredible views is a hidden Gem. We starred on the river front deck and were delighted with surprise fireworks accross the river. The food is fantastic, we had the coctail menu, and you can BYO alcohol which reduces the cost considerably. the staff are organised and think of absolutely everything. couldnt recommend more, you can do as much DYI as you like or leave it to the professionals for a small fee. we had over 100 guests and spent less than 10k

The venue was stunning and I’m so happy to have gotten so many photos with the city background as well as the cliffs background. The coordinator was very helpful and communicated fairly well. My only reason for not giving a 5 star rating was that it is a difficult venue to get to so if you have many people who are elderly or disabled it is possible for them to get there but may be extra work depending on the person. We had to walk more than 500m to get to the closest point to order a Uber.

Beautiful venue on the Brisbane River. After three challenging reschedules due to border closures, the wedding day and coordination was almost flawless. Highly recommend this location for the ceremony and reception. Just make sure delivery drivers for stocking the venue know how to get there in advance and aren't going to turn their back on you the day before the wedding because they don't know how to drive to the venue. This is not a criticism of the venue, but just a heads up.
