Riviera Parque

We celebrated our wedding at Riviera Parque on August 2, 2015. We could not have been happier with the service that was provided from beginning to end. Meir was our kosher caterer for this event. He was exceptional in his professionalism, his desire to please the client, and his communication skills. During the planning process, he was very re-​assuring that all of our needs would be met and he put us at ease. He quickly responded to all emails, text messages or phone calls, and he was very accommodating to specific requests.
On the day of the wedding, Meir delivered on his promise. Throughout the entire evening, Meir kept asking my mother-​in-​law if everything was okay and if there was anything else he could possibly do for us. The serving staff were professional, efficient, and attentive. Friends and family from the wedding commented on the amount and variety of food that was provided and they were very impressed. Several guests mentioned to us that this was the best wedding they had attended. We will most certainly recommend Riviera Parque Dining, Banquet and Convention Centre and Meir and his kosher catering team to all of our friends and family. Thank you Meir and Riviera Parque!

My fiancé and I went in for a tour and met with Anthony. All seemed well– the place was beautiful. We didn’t even want to go to another banquet hall because we loved everything about the place.
He printed us out a sheet with everything we discussed. I noticed a small mistake on the sheet and called back about 10 minutes after leaving the banquet hall. I left a message and received no call back. Two days later I tried again and left another message, still no answer. I called for a third and final time and told the secretary my situation and she put me on hold. It seemed like she was talking to someone and then she said she would write a note on his desk. We never heard back from him and this has ruined our entire experience with this banquet hall.
We really wanted to book with them but are glad that we didn’t put a deposit down. Perhaps he didn’t respond because he was fully booked and didn’t care for our business. Perhaps it’s because my fiancé and I are very young. No matter, it was a horrible experience. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone and we found much better prices and service at another banquet hall (Roma’s Banquet Hall, in case anyone would like to go to a banquet hall and be treated respectfully).

Many of you have read the review on San Antonio’s Fish Market… They are successful business men and philanthropists, where by three times a year they donate all kinds of fish for the San Antonio dinner dance which rises money for families with children with life threatening diseases. Moving forward …, they put together this event at The Rivieria Banquet Hall. They prepared the most delicious meal, From the antipasto bar containing all kinds of seafood to the sit down portion of the meal, with seafood pasta, oysters rockafella, squid, shrimp, scallops, the list is endless. This meal certainly fit for a king. Food was hot. Table service amazing. The wine flowed continuously. Table was kept clean between courses. Staff very pleasant and professional. Great venue for any event.

Lots of banquet halls! the acoustics are kinda odd, couldn’t hear anything from the back.
But the venue stands out amongst the industrial bldgs in the area. it’s like a spaceship!
i could here the wedding on the next hall though, walls must be thin.
One of the best parts of this venue is the espresso machine. I think this is the first venue I’ve been at where espresso is served. Dress up a bit and you could probably drop in while the dancing is going on and grab some drinks.

We came here last night for a wedding reception and was this place ever hopping! I believe there were four or five wedding receptions taking place that evening and it’s no surprise as this banquet hall is beautiful.
When we first arrived, there were a couple of wedding parties arriving at the same time so the front lobby was buzzing with excitement. Thankfully there was a monitor mounted near the ceiling that listed the events taking place, what floor they were on and their room number.
The reception we were attending was located on the second floor so we navigated our way to the cascading staircase in the centre of the lobby.
The receiving areas outside of the banquet rooms are spacious and have seating scattered throughout providing plenty of room to mingle as the wait staff worked their way through the crowd during the cocktail hour.
The setup and decoration of the room was spectacular and sure to please even the most fastidious bride! Looking beyond the beautiful decorations, the banquet room itself was elegant with clean lines, beautiful ceiling fixtures and a large dance floor.
For this occasion, the food was a combination of Italian and Indian and although I believe the Italian selections (and the dessert tables after) were prepared by Riviera Parque, I suspect the Indian cuisine was catered from an external company.
Of course, having a weakness for Indian cuisine my plate consisted mostly of those dishes however I did sample the offerings from the other tables. The grilled chicken, vegetable bundles and various salads were quite flavourful and presented superbly! I’d even go as far as to say that this was probably some of the best food I’ve every experienced at a reception.
I would like to make a special note about the wait staff who were present that evening. For such a large crowd, there never seemed to be a moment when we were not being attended to. The staff were professional, friendly and the service they provided was second to none!
My only issue with the hall (and why I am not rating it a 5-​star) is that the music from the adjoining room could be heard clearly in our room which created quite a distraction during the speeches. Although, I’m not so sure that is the hall’s fault as much as it might be the DJ’s.
All in all, I think this is a fabulous venue for any event you might be planning.
