We recently held our wedding reception at Riverlife, and it was absolutely perfect. The venue is beautifully located right on the Brisbane River at the base of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs — the setting couldn’t have been more picturesque. Maddie, our event coordinator, was amazing to work with. She was always responsive, answered all of our questions, and went out of her way to accommodate any requests we had. Her support made such a difference in making the planning process smooth and stress-free. The catering team did a fantastic job setting up the space. We chose the buffet option for our reception, and the food was excellent. Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed both the variety and quality. Riverlife also provided clear instructions on how to get to the venue, which made it easy for us to share with our guests and helped everything run smoothly on the day. Both we and our guests had a fantastic time and absolutely loved the venue. We would definitely recommend Riverlife to anyone looking for a stunning, well-run location for their wedding or special event.

Riverlife was the perfect venue for our wedding. It offered great value for an inclusive package. Claudia and staff were amazing and coordinated everything perfectly leading the to the event They were accommodating with our requests, and worked out all the details with our other vendours. Our ceremony was in the park beside the river, only a short walk for guests to the reception venue. On the night we were very well taken care of by Paul and his team! We had the best night!

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.
