Can't say enough good things about this venue !!
We’re just two days away from our wedding at the Rimbey Riverside Retreat, and we’re already thrilled with our choice of venue! From our initial visit, it was clear that this place was something special. The venue's charm and the range of amenities included in the package have made planning our big day so much easier and more enjoyable.
We’re also thrilled about the beautiful cabins on-site and the ample space available for our guests who are bringing campers. Plus, having the venue take care of setting up and taking down all the decor has been a huge relief. It’s clear that Duncan and his crew have thought of everything to make our big day as perfect as possible..
The management team at the Rimbey Riverside Retreat has been incredibly supportive and accommodating throughout the planning process. Their kindness and professionalism have made this journey smoother and more pleasant.
We can't wait to celebrate our special day at such a beautiful and well-equipped venue. We’re confident that choosing the Rimbey Riverside Retreat will make our wedding unforgettable, and we’re looking forward to sharing this experience with our friends and family!

Get married at Rimbey Riverside Retreat
My daughter and son -in-law, were married at Rimbey Riverside Retreat. Everything about this venue is outstanding. They are so accommodating and helpful. The word beautiful is not significant enough to describe this location and venue. Breath taking perhaps, there is a beautiful area for the wedding, you will get amazing pictures as it is north facing. The banquet hall is so beautiful, clean and set up so well. Tables and chairs and some décor are provided, they also provide bartenders. The parent cabins are equipped with a full-size refrigerator, if need be, you can bring food and drinks for the weekend. All of the bathrooms are clean and well-lite. You have to check Rimbey Riverside Retreat out, will not be disappointed this venue has it all. For reference the wedding was in September.

This was easily the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning journey! This venue not only wowed us, & our family but we had compliments all day and evening from guests on how gorgeous this venue was. SO many bonus's to booking here. The tables & chairs are included. They have decor included, bartenders included and many many more things that you won't find anywhere else around the area. We were able to set up Friday and take down on Sunday. I HIGHLY recommend doing this, nothing around your wedding day should feel rushed. Not only was the venue amazing, the accommodations offered and the decor but the management was incredible as well. Kind hearted people that were super easy to work with! We are SO incredibly happy that we got married at the Rimbey Riverside Retreat.

Absolutely magical. Our wedding at Rimbey Riverside Retreat was everything we dreamed of and more. The property is stunning, with breathtaking views, long golden grasses, and sunsets that made for the most beautiful photos. From the pond to the wide-open fields, every part of the venue offers a serene, natural backdrop that feels untouched and truly special.
One of the biggest advantages was the sheer size of the property. We had family from all over the country, and being able to have so many guests stay onsite without the cost of hotels made the weekend feel like a full family reunion. Everyone had space to relax, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. The kids were in heaven running around, tossing frisbees, and playing lawn games. If you have little ones attending, definitely bring outdoor games; there’s more than enough room for them to roam and enjoy.
The main reception hall is massive and perfectly designed. The large garage doors let in the sunshine and a warm breeze during the day, creating an open-air feel while still offering protection from weather. The venue comes equipped with a huge professional-grade speaker, Bluetooth connection, and mic, which was great for setup and downtime even though we had a DJ for the big event. It’s a great option if you don’t want to hire someone or just need something powerful on standby.
A huge cost-saver for us was the ability to bring our own alcohol. Compared to restaurants or venues with full-price bar service, this alone saved us thousands. Pair that with a team of experienced, friendly bartenders, and we had an incredible party at a fraction of the cost.
The cabins are rustic yet comfortable. Guests loved staying in them, and while the stairs are a bit steep for older folks, the comfort and setting more than made up for it. The bathrooms across the property are pristine… you’d never guess you were at what some might call a “camping” venue. Everything was clean, modern, and well-kept. The RV campers in our group were also thrilled with the hookups and appreciated how easy it was to have drop-off and pickup directly at the resort.
The Corral made for a perfect afterparty hangout, and the flow of the weekend was so much smoother thanks to the owners allowing us to arrive early to set up. That extra time meant we weren’t scrambling. We got to enjoy the entire weekend and soak in the experience without pressure.
Judy and Duncan, along with their crew, were exceptional to work with. Communication was easy, they were responsive to every question, and we felt completely taken care of from start to finish. It’s rare to find that level of trust and professionalism, especially in the wedding world where things can so often go sideways.
As far as improvements, the only minor suggestion we’d offer is that it would be helpful if the cabins and bar had running sinks someday. That said, with fully equipped bathrooms and showers throughout the property, it wasn’t a problem at all.
Overall, the value at Rimbey Riverside Retreat is unbeatable. You’re not just booking a venue. You’re getting a full weekend to connect with the people you love. There’s no rush, no tight schedule, no whirlwind of single-day logistics. It’s a peaceful, spacious, and authentic place to celebrate. Several guests told us it was the nicest wedding they had ever attended, and we believe them.
We can’t recommend it enough. If you want a relaxed, scenic, and unforgettable weekend run by good people who care about your day, this is the place.
