| - I've been meaning to write a review for the Rivers Club for quite some time. It is a wonderful wedding venue, as my husband and I held our wedding reception here. An important thing to note, you don't need to be a member! The events coordinator is extremely helpful and very friendly, while the venue itself is incredibly accommodating. Our coordinator made the stresses of planning a reception so easy and enjoyable. Typically, food at weddings can be hit or miss since they prepare all the entrees at once. But the food at our reception was absolutely perfect: the filets were all a perfect medium rare! Our guests, to this day, tell us about how delicious the food was. Not only did we have our wedding reception here, we also had the rehearsal dinner at the Rivers Club. They reserved a board room in the back for our large party and it was perfectly intimate. We could socialize amongst ourselves without any distractions from other parties. Again, everyone loved the food! On top of great food, every member of the wait staff is incredibly friendly and patient. Customer service is top-notch here.
When our one year anniversary came, we chose to dine here to celebrate. Again, nothing but praises for the chef(s) and wait staff. We reserved a table, thinking we'd just get a spot in the dining room with other club members, but they placed us in a board room with just the two of us; so romantic! On top of that, they took the time to print out "Happy Anniversary" cards and decorate the room with candles all throughout. AND! we received a complimentary chocolate cake with "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate icing. All this special treatment and we weren't even members of the Club!
I highly recommend anyone getting married to hold their reception here. In addition, the dining room is open to the public. The Rivers Club, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated dining options in Pittsburgh. The Rivers Club really goes above and beyond to make you feel special.
