Our five star rating on each of the above areas was without a doubt yearned by the staff at The Riverhouse. They made our wedding experience perfect.

The Riverhouse was amazing for our wedding. It was the most beautiful ballroom and Libby and her team made it so easy to have the best wedding. The Riverhouse is so accommodating, we had so many little touches that we added and wanted to have for our wedding right down to having their assistant banquet manager who is a diehard Red Sox fan wear our Yankee gear for our Yankee themed wedding. The Riverhouse staff thought of everything and made sure every one of our guests were taken care of. Our guests still tell us to this day how amazing the food was and how attentive and nice the bartenders were. There was not a single thing we would have changed and Riverhouse made sure it was perfect. We highly recommend them.

The Riverhouse was amazing. My Husband and I could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding reception. From our first meeting to our day, the Riverhouse was very accomodating to our every need/desire. The service was impecable and attention to detail was on point. We would highly reccomend the Riverhouse to anyone looking for quality service and a great spot to celebrate your wedding!!!

The staff at the Riverhouse were spectacular! They were exceptionally attentive to the details and were so helpful to our guests. From beginning to end everyone was great. The venue itself is beautiful and all of my guests raved about the food! We would definitely recommend the Riverhouse to anyone!

Mary & Jake were wonderful to work with & had every detail covered on our big day. We had no worries or added stress. Everything was perfect!! If anything went wrong, we surely weren't aware of it. Our guests couldn't stress enough how beautiful the venue was & how amazing the food was. Everyone had a blast!

We were looking for food with a Spanish flare. The Riverhouse customized our menu to meet our needs. It was delicious!!

The Riverhouse was PERFECT for our wedding. They were very professional and willing to help in any way. They made our wedding day run very smoothly!

Every detail was perfect. They were accommodating to every single request we made. The entire evening was seamless thanks to their wonderful staff.

the riverhouse is wonderul. great service, great food and great location. you will not be disappointed.

The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station was an exceptional reception venue. We did not get married on site, but came to The Riverhouse after our church ceremony. The staff was fantastic! Very polite and did everything they could to make sure that everything ran smoothly and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had everything they needed. All the food that was served was amazing, especially the hor d’oeuvres! Our guests are still talking about how delicious the Lobster Mac & Cheese, Crab Cakes, and the Sweet Potato Fries were. Everything about The Riverhouse exceeded our expectations from making sure everything was on schedule to wrapping our dinners up for us to go so we could enjoy them later that night.

Everyone at The Riverhouse were wonderful, from our 1st meeting a year before the wedding until the very end of the event. We loved everything about it, especially Matt and Hattie who were so attentive the day of the wedding.

This is a beautiful venue. It is run by a professional detail oriented staff. Your guests will be in awe from cocktail hour to your final dance. The food is amazing. You will be able to taste many options before you have to pick your menu at their tasting day (so much fun!). They offer the whole package, from the food, cake, and full bar, to the selection of different color linins and napkins all included in the per person price. They don't like to offer things al la carte though, so if you are looking to skip a few courses to save some money, this isn't the place for that. They want every event they host to be the best of the best; I can't blame them for that! Their off season weddings, mine was in March, was a great value. You don’t get to spend as much time on their beautiful wrap around deck, but people can go out there quickly for some fresh air. Parking isn’t a problem; they have a very large parking lot right in front. Just past the venue is the Connecticut river with the iconic draw bridge, and the Good Speed Opera House, and a cute little gazebo looking over the whole beautiful scene. Since this is just barely a ½ mile past the venue, you don’t have to go far to get some great pictures. We were able to take a bunch of beautiful pictures and be there in time for half of the cocktail hour. I loved the bridal suite! Only the wedding party is allowed up there, and they give you all the appetizers and champagne that you want. There are little “princess windows” that you can open and wave at your guests during cocktail hour if you want. You have your own bathroom and huge make-up mirror. Also, there is a balcony overlooking the reception room that is great for speeches, and for throwing the bouquet. This is a great Venue. Definitely worth a trip!

With The Riverhouse, what you see is definitely what you get – and then some.

Planning a wedding from out of state required a “one-stop-shopping” experience, and The Riverhouse more than delivered. I searched for all-in-one locations on-line and had narrowed it down to 3, but when my then fiancé, now husband, saw The Riverhouse website, the choice was obvious. Neither one of us wanted the typical hotel ballroom feel for our wedding, we were looking for something a little more classy and elegant, and that’s exactly what we got with The Riverhouse. I was already on my way to CT when I called Jim Bucko to make an appointment, and I knew as soon as I walked through the doors that this was the place – we never even considered anywhere else.

The overall atmosphere of The Riverhouse was one of the reasons we chose this location to get married. The layout is perfectly suited for events, with a designated area for each purpose. The proof of this can be seen in the gorgeous pictures of our wedding album. I’ll admit I was a little worried that having our wedding in January would seriously impact our ability to get a variety of shots. But the beautiful décor of the bridal suite, the subtle elegance of the stone wall & wood floor in the lobby, the soft glow of white lights on the garland embellished banisters and trees, the balconies at the top of the staircase and off the bridal suite, and the high ceilings in the ballroom – highlighted by purple lighting from DJ Mike Connolly for our event – all lend themselves to create a unique setting for any wedding.

Libby and Mary Kay were both helpful and knowledgeable staff members who helped make the entire process of planning our wedding completely painless. The paperwork may have seemed a bit intimidating at first, as both the welcome e-mail and actual packet said it would be, but in the end, it ensured that all the I’s were dotted and the T’s were crossed. Thanks to all the very thorough pre-planning, the day of the event went off without a hitch – figuratively, not literally, of course!

Everything, from the pre-ceremony hot beverages, to the cocktail hour hors d’ouvres and signature drink, to the main course dinner buffet and delectable wedding cake from Creative Cakes by Donna, was FANTASTIC! We knew the food would be wonderful thanks to the mock wedding event we attended to get a first hand taste of what to expect, but the feedback we continue to get from wedding guests lets us know without a doubt The Riverhouse was definitely the right choice!

The Riverhouse staff went above and beyond to make sure our event went smoothly from start to finish. The whole day ran like a well-oiled machine. Matt Rutty was ever present overseeing the transitions of each phase, yet unobtrusive, making the entire day appear seamless. I was pleasantly surprised when the signature drinks – which EVERYONE enjoyed (even my father who apparently had more than 1!) - were being passed on trays during the cocktail hour, and thrilled when one of the servers met the bridal party after the receiving line with a full tray of hors d’ouvres just for us. It’s attention to details like that which made the event all the more memorable for me.

In short, the location was beautiful, the food was fantastic, and the staff was exceptional. We were able to enjoy the entire day because we didn’t have any worries, we knew everything was taken care of, and what more could you ask for on your wedding day?

Our wedding day was certainly one that we’ll always remember as one of the best days of our lives, and we’re thrilled to say that it all began at The Riverhouse.

My husband and I got married in January in the middle of all the snow storms and it was absolutely beautiful! The Riverhouse staff went above and beyond our expectations from the first viewing of the place to the day of our wedding. The staff was exceptional with us as well as all the guests. I highly suggest The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station for any couple looking for a venue.

Absolutely a wonderful vendor. All the staff that night were fantastic to both us and our guests. They worked with us the whole year before the wedding helping us prepare and guide us in timelines and ideas to make it a fantastic wedding. We had guests that were high demanding to say the least and for them to compliment the Riverhouse as much as they still do a month later says a lot of how perfect they made our event.

The Riverhouse was the best place possible we could have picked for our wedding...Ivy and MaryKay were amazing and gave my special day the perfect touches!!
