See what they say about their experience with The Riverhouse

We had our wedding at The Riverhouse on 7/3, and everything was perfect. All of our guests loved the space. The food was amazing, multiple people have told us it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! Overall the staff was excellent, but I have to give a special shoutout to Holly and Loretta for making sure everything ran smoothly and that we were taken care of. Not a single thing went wrong all night because of them. It was a perfect night and I could not give a higher recommendation for them. Thank you!!!

We had both our wedding ceremony and reception at The Riverhouse in October 2024 and it was nothing short of perfect! Everyone we met who works there was very professional, helpful, and kind. We asked lots of questions throughout the wedding process and always received detailed and prompt answers. The Riverhouse staff helped make our wedding plans much less stressful, and on the day of the wedding they helped everything go smoothly. We cannot recommend them enough!

We had the most wonderful experience booking our wedding with The Riverhouse! We booked with Kelley who is so helpful, professional and truly kind- she made the whole process so easy and enjoyable from our first tour through our wedding day. Loretta and Holly were with us on the night of our wedding, and they were also incredibly helpful and so sweet, not only to both of us, but to all of our guests too. The food was delicious! Our guests raved about the entrees, as well as how many appetizers there were and how they were very unique and tasty. The venue is also just so gorgeous and we had the best time celebrating with all of our loved ones!

The Riverhouse did an amazing job with my wedding. From the first contact to the actual wedding day, they never missed a step and kept me on track with everything that needed to get done. Kelley and Hattie did a great job of making sure all the details and planning were done. The final meeting with Rob put all my nerves and stress to ease he was on point with everything. The day of the wedding, Rob made sure that everything was going according to schedule and that we were happy with everything going on. He worked so well with all of our vendors to make sure that the timeline was spot on, letting us change some minor things up last minute. Rob is very professional and a huge asset to the Riverhouse.

We toured lots of wedding venues around CT and The Riverhouse checked everything and more off our wants list. They did a wonderful job guiding us through the whole wedding process from paperwork to be filled out to offering a fantastic menu tasting! They were very responsive with emails and understanding when we had to change a few things last minute. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding night as the food / drinks were amazing. Rob / Loretta made sure the whole day went smooth and were super accommodating throughout the night! We would 100% recommend The Riverhouse for your wedding day!
