Everything we could have ever asked for!

Even though I never visited Great River Golf Club prior to wedding venue shopping, I was pleasantly surprised when I read other 5 star reviews from couples just like us looking for the perfect place to get married in Connecticut. The professionalism of the staff was second to none from the moment I reached out, I knew I was in good hands with Chelsea. I did not stress over the little details, their wedding packages gave me the confidence to ENJOY wedding planning. From the 5-star chef to the bridal concierge every single member of staff worked extremely hard to make our wedding special throughout the entire process. Our guests still talk about how amazing the food & service was. Great River was the perfect venue for our special day. We are forever grateful.

Great River Golf Club exceeded our expectations!

Great River Golf Club exceeded our expectations! After our first visit in spring 2023, we knew this was the venue for us. The views were stunning, and the grounds are well kept. We fell in love with the breezeway which is where we had our cocktail hour. They were able to extend our cocktail hour space into the courtyard outside the ballroom which made it spacious for our guests to enjoy the bar and pasta bar. The high ceiling and chandelier in the ballroom took our breath away. It looks even better in person! The team did an amazing job with bringing our vision to life!

The best part about Great River is their staff. Throughout the planning process, Karin and Suzie were always available to answer any questions we had. Suzie took extra time with us at our final meeting to be sure that all our questions were answered. On the day of the wedding, they were so attentive to not only us, but our family as well. We had an amazing experience. The food was so good, and our guests continue to tell us what an amazing day it was.

Thank you so much Great River for an unforgettable day!

Exceeded expectations!

The grounds are very well maintained, from the entrance through the entire course, and because of this, our photos came out phenomenal. They even met with my photographer before the wedding to show here where the best pictures can be taken!
Happy hour was outside and had a wonderful flow with a bar outside and inside! No one had to wait in line for a drink!!
The staff!! Every single one of them was extremely helpful, quickly responded to emails and questions, offered suggestions of aspects I hadn't thought of, and very enthusiastic! They all showed signs of enjoying their job, which made it a pleasure to work with them!!
The ballroom is elegant, classy, and offers a timeless space to celebrate. The carpets were clean, the dance floor was nicely set in the middle of the room so everyone can enjoy it from all around,
The food... oh the food!!! It was AMAZING!! The taste testing was EXACTLY what we got for the dinner. I am drooling just reminiscing about it!
Worth every penny - from start to finish!!! We will forever be grateful of all the time, effort, professionalism, and care that GRGC put into our wedding!!
