IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Capacities & Floor Plans 

Our clients design their own floor plans with the assistance of our Director of Events when needed.

  • The ballroom can accommodate 320 using banquet rounds of ten with no buffet or space for dancing in the room. Rounds of 10 are tight on our round tables, so we advice that you stick to as close to 8 per table as possible.

  • If you'd like a dance floor and do not have a buffet, 250 would be the maximum number of guests using rounds of 8.

  • To accommodate a buffet and dance floor, the maximum number of guests is approximately 220.

  • Reception-style, the maximum number of guests is 380.

Available tables at The Riviera:

(32) 60" Banquet Rounds (Standard is 8 people per table, Maximum of 10)

(30) 8' Banquet Table

(1) 48" Round

 

 

  

Vendors

You are welcome to select the vendors that service your event. We do require that the caterer is selected from our Preferred Vendor List, and that the bartenders are insured and licensed in the state of WI. All other vendors ARE NOT required to be chosen from the list. 

 

We understand that you are investing a lot of time, money and energy in planning your event, so it is very important to us that the caterer selected is trusted to deliver great service from the planning stages to the food quality, presentation, execution and clean up.

 

Our ten caterers know the ins and outs of our facility, are consistent, understand our policies and are trusted to take excellent care of our customers.  This list offers a wide range of affordable options for every taste and budget. A number of the caterers offer an optional bar package with their services, making it even easier to plan your day with a single contact for food and beverage.

 

You can also opt to use a separate beverage service/bartending company, in which case, we highly recommend sticking to our list. It is required that the       company used is insured with licensed bartenders and understands the rules and procedures of the Riviera  Ballroom.
