Yes — several camps and resorts towards Shivpuri and Byasi have private beach or ghat access where the mandap is set up steps from the water. Resorts inside town more often offer river-facing lawns rather than direct water access, so confirm exactly what 'riverside' means when you enquire.
Pheras with the Ganga behind you is the single biggest reason couples choose Rishikesh over other hill destinations. Riverside venues here fall into three formats: resorts with private river-facing lawns (the classic choice), luxury camps towards Shivpuri where the ceremony happens steps from the water, and hotels near the ghats that use the river as a backdrop for photos and the aarti as part of the itinerary.
Two practical things to check before booking a riverside venue: first, river access — some 'river view' properties are up a slope with the water visible but not reachable; if you want a ghat ceremony ask specifically. Second, monsoon risk — riverside lawns closest to the water can flood or close during July–September, so peak-season dates book out earliest.

Yes — several camps and resorts towards Shivpuri and Byasi have private beach or ghat access where the mandap is set up steps from the water. Resorts inside town more often offer river-facing lawns rather than direct water access, so confirm exactly what 'riverside' means when you enquire.
Are riverside venues more expensive than other Rishikesh venues?
Usually yes — river-facing lawns and camps carry a premium over garden or banquet venues in town, especially for October–March dates. Weekday weddings and shoulder-season dates narrow the gap considerably.
Is a riverside wedding safe during monsoon?
July to September the Ganga runs high and venues closest to the water may shift events to higher lawns or indoor spaces. If you must marry in monsoon, choose a resort with an indoor backup hall and get the wet-weather plan in writing.
