Spaces

Thirteen Spaces, Eleven Of Them Named For A Tree

Nine indoor rooms, two courtyards, the Grand Reception Hall and the Bridal Suite. Two of the rooms combine on airwalls into larger spaces, which is where the 304 and the 160 come from. Every number below is published by the property. None is estimated and none is computed.

Combined Configurations

Two spaces in the building open up. These are the two largest capacities on the property and both of them are a pair of rooms with the wall taken out.

Mahogany and Redwood opened into one room and set for a plated banquet, with round tables, gold chairs and elevated ceilings.

Mahogany-Redwood

304 GuestsBanquet Rounds

The largest event space on the property. Elevated ceilings, projector screens, built-in speakers, mounted projectors available to rent. It divides into two on an airwall.

The Cottonwood, Juniper and Elm airwalls opened into one long room set in classroom rows facing a projection screen.

Cottonwood-Juniper-Elm

160 GuestsBanquet Rounds

The second largest space and the most flexible thing in the building. Airwalls divide it into three rooms of 48, and each third keeps its own projector screen, so a breakout never loses its display.

The Nine Indoor Rooms

Listed largest to smallest by published capacity. Every one of them is named for a tree and carries its own leaf.

Mahogany

128 GuestsBanquet Rounds

The west half of the ballroom. Elevated ceilings, projector screen, built-in speakers, airwall to the Redwood.

Part of the Mahogany-Redwood.

Redwood

128 GuestsBanquet Rounds

The east half of the ballroom, matched to the Mahogany and opened to it on an airwall whenever the guest count asks for it.

Maple

100 GuestsMeeting, Seminar Or Workshop

1,146 square feet, the only room on the property with a published square footage. Built-in sound system, projector screen, western windows, and an airwall for smaller groups. It sits nearest the Elements Restaurant.

1,146 square feet, the only per-room square footage the property publishes.

Willow

96 GuestsBanquet Rounds

The only private room in the building, and the one the property calls its most elegant. Patio view, fireplace, projector screen, built-in speakers. Monday Mahjong runs here all summer.

Cottonwood

48 GuestsBanquet Rounds

One third of the wing, with its own projector screen. Airwall-separable in both directions.

Part of the Cottonwood-Juniper-Elm.

Juniper

48 GuestsBanquet Rounds

The middle third of the wing, with its own projector screen. The usual choice for a second breakout.

Part of the Cottonwood-Juniper-Elm.

The Elm set in classroom rows facing a projection screen and a blue drape.

Elm

48 GuestsBanquet Rounds

One third of the wing, with its own projector screen. Shown here in classroom, which is how it is used most often.

Part of the Cottonwood-Juniper-Elm.

Poplar

40 GuestsBanquet Rounds

Round in plan and the best-lit room in the building, with windows over both courtyards. It is the only room with no projector screen, and it is the room couples keep choosing for a ceremony.

Cherry

24 GuestsBanquet Rounds, Approximate

The smallest room, with doors to the outside and enough daylight that it never reads as a back room. The property uses it for smaller, more intimate events and for break-off sessions.

Outdoors, On The River

Two courtyards. One of them has never been photographed.

Birch Courtyard

Not PublishedThe property publishes no capacity for this courtyard.

Stamped paving, the dark metal gazebo, tulip beds, and benches over the river. The outdoor season here runs roughly late May to late September.

No Photograph Exists

Aspen Courtyard

Not PublishedNo capacity, no written description and no photograph.

Named on the 2014 Facility Map on the north-east side, between the Maple and Poplar wing and the Cherry and Elm wing.

About The Aspen Courtyard

The Aspen Courtyard is labeled on the Facility Map on the north-east side, between the Maple and Poplar wing and the Cherry and Elm wing. The artwork for that plan is dated 2014. No page of the property's website describes it, it has no capacity and no square footage, and there is no photograph of it in a source library of 436 images.

We could have put a picture of the other courtyard here and let it read as the Aspen. We did not. The leaf carries the room, which is the argument for drawing eleven leaves in the first place: a space with no photograph still has an identity if the system gives it one.

The Grand Reception Hall & The Bridal Suite

Neither is named for a tree, so neither carries a leaf. They carry the grove mark instead, which keeps the eleven leaves honest.

Grand Reception Hall

Not PublishedThe property publishes no capacity for this room.

The stone fireplace, the timber columns and the stair. Most often the welcome and check-in space for an event that lives elsewhere in the building, though it carries an event on its own. The Bridal Suite is directly upstairs.

Bridal Suite

Not PublishedThe property publishes no capacity for this room.

Upstairs from the Grand Reception Hall. Hair, makeup, the dress, and the last hour before the aisle. Chandeliers, mirrors and a settee.

The Published Capacity Table

The property publishes banquet round capacities only. There is no theater, classroom, reception, U-shape, hollow-square or conference figure anywhere on its site, no per-room square footage except the Maple, and no capacity chart. This table is that gap closed with what does exist, and nothing more.

Every capacity The Riverwoods publishes, in full. The Maple's 1,146 square feet is the only per-room square footage published anywhere on the property's site.

On The Two Big Claims

The property states 32,000 square feet on two of its own pages, so that number is sourced. It also states capacity "up to two thousand people" on the Facilities page, while its SpringHill Suites page says the conference center "accommodates up to 1,000 guests". Those are the property's own words and they do not agree with each other.

Adding every published banquet-round capacity for a distinct room gives 724, and that figure excludes the Grand Reception Hall, the Bridal Suite and both courtyards. It is arithmetic, not a published capacity, which is why it is not in the table.
