It is always River House's intent to allow the couple to completely envision their wedding day before it happens, to highlight all of the fine inner intricacies so that the couple can picture themselves celebrating and relaxing alongside family and friends. River House views their tasting events as an opportunity to showcase not just a few menu items, but the overall experience of the venue, from how they clear and set tables, to the kind of music that will be playing, says Ostrander, "Because we believe in what we are offering to people and that that will make them excited." Whether people come to Odette's to plan their wedding, stay for a leisurely dinner, or even just go to enjoy a three-hour brunch, any visit to River House will be an experience. From the little handmade key-shaped chocolates made by the in-house pastry team to the extensive hot chocolate choice on their rooftop menu, to the valet's uniform, refinement and care are present in every detail. At River House, gorgeous atmosphere marries convenience. From clinking champagne flutes in the open-concept ballroom to relaxing in the vaulted ceiling piano lounge, the location offers a grandiose full- weekend experience to any couple that wants to celebrate their wedding with vibrance and flair.
