Mary L6 months agoI absolutely LOVE when we go to an event at Windows on the River. This time it was the Dueling Piano's with JKL bus tours. What a great time we had enjoying the music, the amazing servers and the fabulous lunch. The lunch consisted of salad, rolls, tender prime rib, fresh green beans, mashed potato and an delicious dessert. Additionally, the place was decorated nicely for Christmas. Everyone I talked to enjoyed their meal and their time spent at Windows on the River. Looking forward to the next event held here.
Kendall Erhardta year agoMy husband and I used the City View Room for our ceremony and reception. We could not recommend this venue enough!! The entire planning process was so easy and Bobbi was such a joy to work with! We got so many compliments on the food and the beautiful space we used. They make sure everything goes according to plan and exceed at taking care of their guests. We had the most perfect night and are so appreciative of all the hard work that goes into making it a perfect night. Windows On The River offers the best of the best, you can’t go wrong if you pick them!!!
Alex Dillona year agoHad our wedding in the City View room in June, we worked with Bobbi and everything went perfectly! We had some unique room set up requests like a huge 30 person head table and decor on the patio and Bobbi saw my vision! I am normally a big planner so we visited a few times throughout the planning process and everything turned out exactly how I had envisioned. Food, drinks and service were seamless and our wedding guests raved about the room and the meal. So happy we had our wedding here!
Maria Serra2 months agoAs a May 2026 bride at Windows on the River, I want to note that I had a lovely day. I’m writing this in the hopes that some couples do not experience some mishaps that we did. 1. During our ceremony, in the Bridge View Room, staff could be heard loudly talking behind the room divider. So much so, family members in the front row (farthest from the room divider) could hear. 2. During cocktail hour, many guests ventured the entire way through the aquarium without seeing a single server with a passed appetizer. 3. The cake-cutting table was not set with two forks and a dessert plate. Additionally, our cake-cutting knife was still wrapped in the box, which was on the table, and still had the sticky note on it reading “for cake cutting.” We weren’t about to unwrap and unbox these in front of 300 guests. So, in front of our guests, we had to run to our sweetheart table, grab forks, run back to the cake table in the middle of the dance floor and grab bites. Not being able to have our traditional cake cutting with our special serving set was a bummer. 4. Obtaining parking for guests was difficult. The lot is not owned by Windows, though the companies work closely together. The staff at Windows had to constantly remind the team at the parking lot to even answer us as prospective customers. I hope the venue and the lot can establish a better communication system that benefits everyone. Simply put, these issues were disappointing for the amount of money paid. That being said, many things were also wonderful! The space was gorgeous for photos and dancing, the dinner was delicious, the bartenders were fabulous, the aquarium was a hit, and Kathy was always quick to respond. I write this in good faith hoping that the venue sees this and does not allow situations like this to happen with other couples and their families. We still had a beautiful day and don’t regret booking with the venue, but guest experience could be improved.
Am11 months agoSuch a cool aquarium! It's worth the visit. I was lucky to come when it wasn't too busy, and I visited at a time when the octopus was out. Sometimes they like to hide! This aquarium is good to visit as a solo or a big group
