I visited this venue a few months ago for a wedding reception…read more This is a good space if you have a group of 150 or less. Especially if you are using tables and chairs, please be mindful of your guests and their ability to move about the room without worry. The restrooms here were tidy and spacious. The parking lot is a bit small. I am unsure if the venue has overflow parking. The parking lot in front of the building will fill up fast. I am not sure if this place offers catering, but you are able to use your own caterer for your event. I believe if you are having a night event, you must clear the premises by 11 pm. Overall, for the time spent here, I enjoyed this venue. My only side eye is the limited parking. And if you are attending at night, be extra careful... the lighting outside is not good at all. You may have trouble finding this location at night due to the low lighting. But as you are approaching your turn slow down because you can easily miss the turn from the main street. I actually had no clue this venue existed in the city. I'm glad I was able to experience it and celebrate with friends. Have fun and enjoy life :)

My first impression was a good one! I have not attended anything here, but the energy of the owner…read moreand the excitement to host an event is unmatched. The facility is a good size and you have the option to only use half of the venue space. While there is no kitchen on site, you can bring in you own food and serving equipment to keep it hot. Great set up here. Parking is limited, but they work it out when larger events are held here. I will follow up in some weeks to give my full review once my event takes place. But again so far so good. The first impression is a lasting impression. Check out this venue if you are looking to host events in the Chesapeake area. Have fun and enjoy life :)

I have been past this place more than a few times and just thought it was another office building…read morethat was very modern. Well, I am partially correct. It is kind of a WeWork mindset. You can rent this place and use it for a variety of reasons. A get together with family, work meetings, and even a dedicated recording room to do a podcast. On every level there are different aspects to fit your personal or business needs. On the top floor there is an open rooftop with a full kitchen that can be rented out. This place is very clean and there is digital entry but for events there is always someone at entry to let you in and guide you to whatever event you are there for. If having an event in the Norfolk area this place is a definite option to consider.

Before I begin this review let me start off by saying that this review is based solely on my…read moreopinion and my opinion alone so with that being said let's go!!.. This is the second time we ( my wife and I ) have visited this establishment, the first for a wedding party and last night was a birthday dinner party. Each time was delightful and the building being well maintained. The structure is modern and up to date with all of the state of the arts equipment you may need to celebrate any function! I would recommend renting this place out, there's plenty of space to move around with plenty of parking out front as well as the back of the building.

Awesome venue. I…read morehave heard only amazing reviews concerning this venue. Well this past Saturday, I see why... this place is an awesome! Spacious, plenty of parking and everyone in attendance (wedding reception) raved about how they loved the venue too. I am not sure how long this venue has been in existence, but I travel nearby all the time and had no clue it existed. Well now I am in the know, and I will definitely keep it in mind when deciding on venues from a variety of upcoming events. I am not sure if the venue provides food/beverage, but they do allow one to bring in food and beverages... which is a plus. Looks like the office hours for this place is daily except Sunday... open until 3pm if you have questions or concerns. So if you're thinking about a venue to house/seat 200 guests or less consider this place. Have fun and enjoy life :)

A hidden gem in Chesapeake for sure! I personally loved my experience there at Riverview; my best…read morefriend had her wedding reception there not too long ago and it was absolutely beautiful. They have a huge event space that you can rent out for anything, and it faces out onto the water which was a gorgeous view. I also did personal training here with Sierra Meacham and for anyone looking for a personal trainer but doesn't know where to start, like I was, I highly HIGHLY recommend reaching out to Sierra even just for a talk. She helped me personal train and helped me understand meal prepping and what to look for in my foods and what I need nutrients-wise for my goal as well as my weight goals! She kept pushing me to my PRs are farther:) She is so understanding and takes every problem I had whether it was with meal-prepping or weight-lifting posture hesitancies and how to overcome. I highly recommend her but definitely reach out and check in with her! She can book up quickly because of how awesome and thorough she is with her clients!! She can also guide you through the different rooms in Riverview such as the redlight therapy and saunas and what not and the importance of them on the body physically and mentally. They also have networking nights and people with different small businesses or want to get out there with the public and socialize I highly recommend checking in when the next night is and go... it's a lot of fun 100/10 recommend!! #personaltraining #mealprep #she'llsetyoustraight! #networking

We went on a Friday for strawberry picking, to see the animals and to shop the farmers market. Our…read morekids also enjoyed the play area also. There's bounce houses and a playground. The strawberry picking baskets were a flat rate (which we liked versus other places that charge by weight). It was pretty reasonable at $23 for a bucket and the strawberries were delish. There's also a patio restaurant called the Hive for food and drinks.

Went here Sunday for the fall pumpkin festival. Entry to the festival is free. You just have to pay…read more$10 for parking. Once inside there's other activities to pay for like the monster truck ride, petting farm, corn maze, and other kids activities. The hayride and pumpkin patch are both free. The hayride goes from the parking/monster truck area, to the market/restaurant area, to the pumpkin patch, and then back to the first spot of the parking/monster truck area. I found the fall festival to be really cute and great for photo ops. I really enjoyed each of the different sections of the farm. Decided to get on the monster truck before leaving (9/10); it was my first time riding in/on one and it was pretty fun. To ride was $10 per person. All of the staff members were friendly and made light conversation. I can def see myself returning especially since they also have a Christmas tree farm and a restaurant on site. My overall rate of experience : 9.5/10

I had no idea about this venue space until I attended a celebration last night…read more This place is rather small, but if you are looking to entertain a guest count of 50 or less, this place may be perfect for you. I am not sure how you reach out to the owner to book, but I imagine if you call the number someone will get back with you with the specifics and availability. Not that much parking near the facility, but street parking is available. And it is only a short walk to the front door. This is another factor to keep in mind when considering your guest count. Overall, I recommend you check out this place for your small gathering needs. Have fun and enjoy life :)

Love, love, love the Historic Obici house! This old home that belonged to the Planter's Peanut…read morefounder was on the verge of being demolished but Mr. Roundtree who runs the Sleepy Hole golf course stepped up and helped to get it renovated and turned into a restaurant and Pro shop. Since the location is out of the way, the restaurant being open to the public as a regular restaurant didn't work out but now it is open for special events (you can find them on their website or Facebook page), parties or weddings. I miss being able to just go there for dinner, enjoy the view and the beautiful house but understand why they had to change the operation. The food is worth the price, the staff is friendly and they are happy to show off the restaurant and allow you to walk around and check it out.

I have mixed emotions about this review since on one hand I was glad to see that the Obici House…read morewas saved, while on the other hand, I didn't like how it all happened. I don't like that they tore down the detached Carriage House that was also on the property. The House is beautiful and unique with history. I am perennially disappointed with the golf course and I have been to only one function in the House since it was restored. The food was nothing remarkable and the service was even more non-descript. I don't know what they charge for functions there, but I thought that maybe they would have improved the surroundings a bit more to accommodate the status of the Obici House, the surrounding out buildings, clubhouse, 18th hole and driving range. It looks like they did the bare minimum to the house. I don't want to tarnish this review too much since I haven't been there for an official event within the last year. I noticed that they are having an open house soon and I plan to check it out and update my review. I would recommend that if the price seems to high for your event, then pass on Obici House until you start seeing better reviews on the service and food.
