EVENT CENTER

OUR EVENT CENTER

Historic Bar at Riverview Funeral Home and Event Center in Peru, IN

Riverview Event Center Historic Bar & Large Venue Space

Featuring an antique bar, large seating area, and space for a DJ, the Event Center is the premiere room for events at the Riverview Event Center.

This bar has made its way to our venue, after sitting in the upstairs of the local Literary Aid Society building for nearly 100 years. This is a full bar, and can be open during your event as either an open bar or cash bar.

Elegant Venue

Includes preset tables and chairs and tear down, so you do not have to worry about taking that extra time away from your party. The event center includes our 100 year old antique bar that is able to be open and used during your event.


The event center kitchenette features two refrigerators, an ice machine, sink, and plenty of counter space. This is a "warming and staging" kitchenette, not intended for full prep or cooking, as it does not contain proper appliances to do so. This is available for families doing self-catering or caterer's to store and prepare.


This room seats no more than 200 guests, which fills up the entire floor area. We provide 60" tables, which seats 6-8 guests per table. Outlets surround the walls to allow for easy access to DJ's needing an area to set up.

Community Room

The community room is a great space for meetings or small conferences. The space holds a capacity of 80 people with a large serving table for food and beverages. A small kitchenette area is provided as well with limited appliances. Want to get some fresh air? Take advantage of the outdoor patio space to the side to the room, facing the river and maybe even get to see a bald eagle or two. The community room is also perfect for smaller gatherings such as birthday parties, bridal showers, and many, many more!
