Download RiverHow to start

How it works.

River builds the guest list from your CRM, compares three private rooms near the venue, writes each guest a personal invitation and keeps RSVPs, diets and seats up to date.

  1. Set the occasion

    The conference or city trip River found on your calendar, the number of seats and your budget.

  2. River plans the evening

    Guests ranked by deal and relationship, and three private rooms found on Resy, OpenTable and their own sites.

  3. Each guest gets a real invite

    A personal email to each guest in the host’s voice, with their account owner copied.

What you get.

  • A Guests Sheet with each guest’s owner, deal, RSVP, diet and seat
  • A Page comparing three private rooms, with photos and River’s pick
  • A seating plan and a one-page host brief the day before

A few things to know.

Does River book the restaurant?

It sends the private dining request and the invitations on one go-ahead. It never pays a deposit or types card details; that part stays with you.

How many people should we invite?

About one and a half invitations per seat, ranked by deal value and relationship, so the table fills even when a few can’t make it.

What does it cost?

It uses your plan’s AI credit, like everything else in River. The dinner itself is between you and the restaurant.
