Riverside event center reports early bookings and plans marketing push for 2025
Summary
Riverside manager Britney reported on three months of operations: several bookings, expected December revenue of about $1,170, planned marketing in 2025, and steps to address operational lessons such as purchasing a small chest freezer.
Britney, representing the Riverside event center, gave council members an operational update covering the facility’s first three months. She reported bookings and revenue to date and previewed expected events: four events in December with expected revenue around $1,170 (two with bar service), and multiple reservations for early 2025 including graduations and a municipal league district meeting on March 26.
Britney said early operations have been “trial by error” and described one practical fix—purchasing a small chest freezer after recognizing the venue lacked one for events with ice cream. She said user feedback has been positive, that staff are weighing fee structures (including discounted rates for nonprofits or residents), and that marketing and photography efforts are planned for 2025 to attract weddings and larger events.
Council members asked about refrigerator/freezer availability, marketing, and discounted rates for community organizations; Britney said the chamber and social media outreach will be part of her plan.
