God is so present here! I loved this venue! Must see

The space is gorgeous. The possibilities for what it can be rented for are limited by only your imagination

Absolutely the best venue in eastern NC for hosting a wedding/reception! The Hawkins family are exceptional hosts (Dylan is the main man)
Beautiful, flexible, great sound, easily accessible & breathtaking views inside & out by the Neuse River.

An Amazing place!!! Perfect for your next event!

If I could give this venue 10 stars out of 5, I would- the Maola is absolutely phenomenal!! I can’t express how wonderful the Hawkins family was to work with while planning our wedding- they truly went above and beyond for us in every way possible. A venue like this is a rare find in today’s wedding industry. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and spacious the venue was as well. From all perspectives- this is the BEST venue to book for your wedding! The Maola was absolutely perfect for us, and we could not be more grateful to have found such a perfect place and family to work with. ❤️

You have all be so kind, so generous, and so helpful. You have gone above and beyond for us - this was a very DIY wedding to stay on budget and I did not have the help of a coordinator so it means so, so much to us that you all (and especially you Kaitlyn!) have just really gone the extra mile to help us. You have shown us so much grace and have been there to help make out day as we pictured. We are blessed to have been able to have our special day at your venue, and being able to have it there and with the help and kindness of everyone is truly what made it so special and possible, even. You have truly touched our hearts and we will continue to rave about you all forever. I can't tell you enough how grateful we are.

I don't know where to begin as everything was perfect. The rooms for the girls and guys to dress and prepare were so spacious and comfortable. The bar and lighting had a "club" feeling. The dining room was very comfortable for eating and had plenty of room for dancing. I thought the acoustics were good too.
Oh and the restrooms were very clean and very convenient near the bar. The ramp made them very accessible.
I should have mentioned how nice the chapel was. It felt perfect, like a small country church. I definitely felt God's presence during the ceremony.

The sweetest family and the easiest to work with! I can't recommend this venue enough!

Beautiful venue on the water in downtown New Bern, NC. Antique show there, once a year, first week in February. Beautiful venue, Beautiful show.

Great venue, very comfortable, highly recommend 🤙🏾

This event space is AMAZING! It is very versatile and can accommodate up to 300 people.

Thank you Maola at Riverside for a wonderful wedding. This place is incredible. Mike, you bent over backward to make sure everything was perfect. This is going to be the premier event center in New Bern. Thanks again for making this special day so stress-free.

We had our rehearsal dinner and wedding here last spring and I cannot say enough good things about this venue. It's beautiful and spacious. The family that owns the venue was great to work with. They were flexible and understanding. It's clear they care about their clients. Our guests loved it too!

Beautiful venue and amazing staff. We were one of their lower end weddings and they treated us with such care and grace. Thank you Katelyn for making our day extra special. The pictures don’t do it justice, go for a tour. You will LOVE it!

Very beautiful and staff was very polite and helpful.
