Spring Bride
We had an April wedding at the Riverside Hotel. It was the day of our dreams! Everything from the staff to the decorations was on point. My guests absolutely loved the views of downtown and the river from the patio balcony and the food was great. We never had to wait for a drink or an appetizer, they were well stocked and staffed. The coordinators were helpful and patient in the planning period. I had very little to worry about because they did so much. We had our ceremony outside, next to the New River and it was a perfect day. Our reception was in the ballroom up on the eighth floor. The room was the perfect size for my 80 guests. It can accommodate much more with the adjoining rooms. We chose to do the food stations, which was a big hit! It allowed everyone to chooses what they want and covered everyone's individual needs. The food was great. The staff payed great attention to my husband and myself the whole time. They even went out of their way for a few guests without even being asked. With the location right in the heart of Downtown Fort Lauderdale, many of our guests stayed at the beautiful venue as well. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurants, bars, and shops before and after the wedding. Overall, we could not have a better location!

Sales and Catering
Hello Loma / Rita My apologies for not sending this yesterday, but I was out of the office all day, I just want to tell you both MUCHAS GRACIAS for the amazing lunch meeting we had on Monday. I must say I was very impressed with the phenomenal job you both did, and the lunch was delicious, but what I truly enjoyed the most was having a chance to spend time with both of you. You both made it so enjoyable and informative that no doubt you'll be my first choice when we plan an event in Ft. Lauderdale. when I come across professionals like both of you, it will truly be a great pleasure to do business with you. I must also mention that I continue to receive a lot of positive feedback and comments from the Women's Market event we held at your gorgeous property on March 31. After I shared with some of my colleagues yesterday about the wonderful opportunity I had to have lunch at your property and really get to see all the options you offer, from the rooms to the conference rooms and amazing service (not to mention the food, OMG !!!), all they could say again was "we loved the property and the staff” (and the fabulous terrace that we didn't get to really enjoy, but that it looked so inviting). Once again, Loma & Rita, thank you so very much for everything, for the food, the company, the gift and the wonderful time you both dedicated to me from your busy schedule.

MEETING PLANNER COMMENTS:
The location of the property is amazing and perfect. The entire staff, meeting space, food and atmosphere are above superior! I have been a meeting planner for over 17 years and the Riverside is one of the BEST properties for small/midsize groups. The location alone is enough to fall in love with however the staff from the front desk, sales, banquets, all the way to the GM went above and beyond which made my job much easier where I could tend to my attendees needs/requests. I would highly recommend Riverside Hotel for meetings, groups and personal travel. There aren't enough words to express my appreciation to the staff! Thanks for taking care of me and my group...I will be back! Dawn Udy, CMP, Plan It Forward 04/2017 |

VERY Impressed
Good Morning Maura, I wanted to follow up with you to let you know that my client was VERY impressed with your facility and stuff for his meeting. He said the food was better than the other places that he has held his meetings in the past. Thanks again for all your hard work in making his meeting a success. Misty Jones, USA 05/17/2017 |
Thank You!
I wanted to give a heartfelt thank you to the most amazing Riverside Hotel team-this new enhanced website could not have been launched without each and every one of you.
