Richwood is a wonderful place for your wonderful day. It is simply gorgeous - pictures do not capture it well enough. You need to see it to really understand. It feels so welcoming, there is a ton of space for whatever you want to do, and for all the people who are involved. I did not realize how much nicer it would make the wedding to have had a relaxing day with all the people in the wedding party who were staying in the guest rooms starting on Friday. We all knew each other and had shared a few meals and laughs, so no tension. That made a huge impact to being able to enjoy the event. I would be remiss if I didn't comment as well on the wonderful, welcoming people who run Richwood on the River, and who make certain that everything is going well - even the things you don't hear about until after it is all over. In summary:
****HIGHLY RECOMMEND****

Most Magical Wedding Venue

My husband and I hosted our daughters wedding at Richwood on the River last month, June 18, and all we can say is WOW! We were beyond happy. The entire experience was PERFECT. From the beginning to the end. We live just across the river, in Madison, and were so excited to welcome so many guests from all over the US to our beautiful town. Richwood was able to accomodate the bride and grooms wedding party and family for three nights. The guests enjoyed the wonderful breakfasts each morning, hung out at the pool and jacuzzi during the day and had cocktails out by the fireplace in the evening. The convenience of the bridal party being at one location, together was incredible. The grooms parents hosted the rehearsal dinner on property in the carriage house. Colleen arranged all the details and staffing to make the night a perfect kick off to the weekend. The wedding was held outside under the most spectacular tent (Advantage Rentals in Covington, KY). The catered dinner for 300 went off seamlessly. Again, Colleen and her staff orchestrated the bars, staffing, food and entertainment effortlessly. As the mother of the bride I was not burdened with one issue or detail the entire weekend. My husband and I were overwhelmed by the attention to detail, the property and the staff. We can not give this a higher review. Thank you Colleen Sutton for a memory we will never forget. Patti and Dominic

A Day we will never Forget

I never imagined enjoying a day ever in my life as much as I enjoyed Danny and Carson’s wedding at Richwood on the River. And It was because of Colleen Sutton and her wonderful team. Her responsive communication made us feel special the day we contacted her. And Colleen's team continued to take care of us until we drove away Sunday at noon. In a world where TikTok, Pinterest, & Instagram's flood our visions with outlandish weddings that could be. You and your beautiful venue gave us a day only found in our dreams. I could write on and on. About the details, ideas, and guidance Colleen gave us. I am not impressed easily. And coming myself from the wedding industry… I have seen my fair share of disastrous scenarios. The experience and special service at Richwood on the River IMPRESSED Me! If there is a lesson in the wind… it is that this venue allows you to be with the people you love the most. Not just for a few hours, but for a whole magical weekend. Thank you so much for giving us such an epic day. We heard a lot of people say it was the best time, the coolest wedding ever.
Kind Regards,
The mother of the groom… Michele Mateja
