LA RIO MANSION was by far the best venue choice for our wedding. My husband and I toured it with our moms, and all four of us immediately loved it. The space felt warm and inviting, and we knew right away it was the right place for us. Both of us come from Hispanic families, so choosing a venue that felt culturally familiar and welcoming to everyone was important. La Rio offered that and more.

Lily from La Rio Mansion coordinated our wedding, and I genuinely don’t know how we would have done it without her. She was helpful from the very beginning and made the entire process feel much less overwhelming. She sent over vendor options, checked in regularly, and even hosted an open house so we could meet potential vendors in person. That alone helped take a huge weight off my shoulders.

One of my favorite parts was ordering our wedding cake through LILY’S CAKES. It was so good and looked exactly how I imagined. Lily paid attention to every detail and made sure the day stayed on track. She kept everything running smoothly and made sure we could actually enjoy the day instead of worrying about logistics.

We were treated like family by all of our vendors, and it really felt like they cared about making the day special, and not just for me and my husband, but for our families too. If I could get married all over again, I would still choose La Rio. I’d recommend it to anyone planning a wedding.
