Had our wedding ceremony and reception at the West Edison Rivery and it was so so beautiful! Tons of people complimented the venue and asked about it. I really enjoy that Ben and Jenna really leave almost everything “up to you”! We weren’t interested in a venue that forced “packages” (such as bar packages; children and a lot of sober individuals). The bar was incredibly customizable, and I know they more recently had to add the bar due to laws but they do it so well! The staff/bartenders were great! If you have a nice day, there’s tons and tons of room for guests to be in the back parking lot and mingle. The only thing that really stressed me out was decorating. The venue is very naturally beautiful so there isn’t a ton of decorating that needs to be done, however, the option is to hire someone, hope and rely on family and friends the day of, OR if there isn’t a Friday event, you get 1.5 hours to decorate. There wasn’t a Friday event, so we were able to decorate, and although it took a lot of stress off my plate, I did have a ton of friends and family that helped decorate but 1.5 hours was a bit stressful!!! We got through it, all was well, it was possible. Not enough of an issue for me to change my review. Bridal suite was magnificent. Had my eye on this venue for a long time and I’m so happy I was able to have my wedding here!

What a great space. We had a cekebration of life for my father here. The booking oricess was really simple, everything was very clear and they were wuite helpful with setup. We had a group of 70 people and it was perfect. Not too big but still could accommodate many more. We were concerned about the sound in such a large hard surface space but nouse panels on the ceiling took car of that and audio worked out great. Highly recommend this cenue space.

I would HIGHLY recommend West Edison Rivery: My husband and I booked our wedding date with West Edison Rivery two years in advance - the venue was just about to open and plans were still in the works. In the two years since we booked, West Edison Rivery has become THE destination to have a wedding (at least in my opinion)! West Edison Rivery is a beautifully redone warehouse in a convenient location. We were wowed by the mix of industrial, brick, and natural light. Our guests raved about the venue space, as well! Ben and Jenna were the most personable, down-to-earth vendors that we had the opportunity to work with throughout our wedding planning. We hope we have the opportunity to see their venue continue to thrive for many years! PC: Alyssa Sachs Photography

I photographed my clients wedding at West Edison Rivery in July 2024, and I had a very good time! First off, I loved the bridal suite. It was stylish, and plenty of natural light coming though the windows for beautiful getting ready photos. They had an indoor ceremony room where was very comforttable for all the guests, and nice high ceiling. I loved that it was by the river, and had beautiful greenery right outside of the building where we could take photos with the bridal party after. The reception room was already set when I showed up in the morning, so it was easy for me to grab setting photos in the beginning of the coverage. The staff members were friendly and wasy to work with. They are prompt and very professional, and everything went very smooth thanks to them! After the formal program, the whole room transformed to be a dance floor, so they got to enjoy dancing, including the Selbian cultural dances! Unfortunately, we couldn't take sunset photos since we were hit by a storm, but when the rain got slightly weaker, we got to do sparkler exit and night time newlyweds photos in the rain. It was so magical, especially with their beautiful brick buiding. This venue is definitely a photographer's dream venue. I really enjoyed photographing my first Wisconsin wedding at West Edison Rivery and hopefully I get to shoot here again! Thank you for reading my review!

We had our wedding at The Rivery on 5/17/24 and it was the perfect day. Ben and Jenna are the best owners; great with communication, kind, helpful and knowledgeable. We loved working with them. We booked our wedding date two years in advance, while The Rivery was an empty warehouse and still very much a work in progress. It was easy to trust Ben and Jenna’s vision of what the venue would become and we’re so happy we did. Truly the best experience. Thank you for the best day!!
