Why Now?
After a long career as a Registered Dietitian and Manager it was time to change course and follow my dream. Fueled by a love of making celebrations and events special and memorable, the idea of creating a one-of-a-kind wedding and event venue became the vision and inspiration for The Riverbird.

Why Here?
It wasn’t enough to create the right venue, we needed the right place. We wanted a special location that celebrates a love of the water and the beauty found in nature. The search for this place took time, like all good things but when we saw the site on the Grand River, we knew how special it was. And, how it was meant to be shared and enjoyed.

Why “The Riverbird”?
Birds are an integral part of nature and the proximity to the river brings a special gathering of birds unique to this environment. The White Egret, Great Blue Heron, King Fisher, Osprey, Bald Eagle, Goose, Duck and Swan all call this area home. When envisioning a name for our venue, it was only natural to honor them in this way.

The White Egret used in our logo symbolizes purity, grace, wisdom, spiritual awakening and enlightenment. Egrets have been known as messengers of peace and tranquility and represent new beginnings and prosperity with new endeavors. This symbol encompasses our wish for all of the guests who utilize our venue.
