November 2025

We recently had our wedding (both ceremony and reception) at Riverlife in September 2025 for 140 guests. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and venue, and the team were beyond excellent. The ceremony was beautiful and was facing the river, on one of the lawns. Then we had our reception in the sunset marquee. We were able to fit all our guests very comfortably. The service was excellent and the food was delicious (and affordable). At both the ceremony and reception, we had amazing views of the city and water. I would recommend this wedding venue to anyone. If you choose Riverlife, you have your own event manager for the day who conducts pre-meetings with you and is present on the day. Our manager was Molly, she was so organised, happy, enthusiastic and reliable! Lana & Alex Mougenot

AMAZING! Easy to work with! Dedicated event planner who was always contactable. No cost basics included like table set up (vases, candles, napkins etc.). No hiked up prices just because it was a wedding! GORGEOUS back drop and fantastic photo opportunities. Attentive and accommodating wait staff and event managers on the night. My friends were so happy with all the photo opportunities along the water. Best day ever!!!

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.

We had our cocktail style reception party for 140 people at Riverlife on the Riverfront deck and it was everything we hoped it would be. The entire process of organising with Maddie and Molly from Fresh Collective was so easy, straight forward and stress free. On the day the staff had set up the venue perfectly and they were all so helpful at every turn. The catering on site was delicious, we used the BYO wine and beer option which was super easy to arrange drop off/pickup for. Honestly our night went off without a hitch and we and our guests had an absolute ball, we would absolutely recommend Riverlife as a venue.

Location - AMAZING Riverlife wedding organiser Molly is lovely and very well organised. Wet weather organisation by staff was hard to find them. Family and friends had to step in. Given you pay and extra couple hundred we were disappointed that we couldn’t get location of staff whereabouts/ not enough hands. For catering - the staff were not spreading food about. They would do one round and place on a table. Party complained of lack of quantity as well.
