Client Reviews
Harry – 5.0 – Wedding Wire
Amazing venue, perfect team
If you’re lucky enough to reserve the Donaldson Brown Center you should do it right now! We had our wedding and reception there in May and it was absolutely perfect…this is an amazing venue with gorgeous views overlooking the river. The suites are really cool and there was plenty of room for our immediate families to stay over (the rest of the guests shuttled to a nearby hotel). So convenient! Sue and her team are the best and they really took care of us. We can’t say enough about how perfect everything was.

Engagement party
Enjoyed our evening in the grand venue. All the guests were very impressed with the ambience. Very convenient for any occasion as they have separate dining area with tables and chairs beautifully set up. Ample space as you have the whole floor with many rooms and sitting areas. Very friendly staff and flexible.
Rachel H. – 5.0 – The Knot
My husband and I choose this venue because of the amazing view of the river and the historic home feel. The staff was very easy to work with and they made us feel like we were a part of the family. We had the venue for the entire day, the room that they ladies got ready in was gorgeous, Our ceremony and reception were outside. We did have to provide our own tent* and caterer but we enjoy the freedom. Our wedding was perfect and everyone raved about the venue.
[*Note: Beginning Sept. 2026, Donaldson Brown Riverfront Event Center has a permanent pavilion for use by large parties up to 200.]
