The best wedding venue ever!!

I can’t express enough how amazing this venue is! From the breathtaking views, the design of all of the barns, the food from Katie at Vermont Catering Company, the hardworking staff on all parts making you feel welcome, and the amazing planners Krissy and her assistant Sophia, everything was spot on and nothing less than a dream come true. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a fairytale wedding, they did not disappoint!!

Perfect Vermont Wedding

If you are looking for the perfect wedding venue in the countryside of Vermont, look no further. We have lived in Vermont for 25 years and we were looking for a venue for our daughter. We wanted something that would reflect how special our home state is. We had folks coming from all over the country and this was our chance to show them why Vermont is so special.

From the very first meeting to the day we pulled away the day after the wedding, there was not one moment that we regretted our decision. Krissy and the team at Riverside were always ready with an answer to our question. Our family has been in the hotel business for three generations and we were never disappointed with their hospitality and professionalism. Throughout the weekend they were on top of everything. Not a detail was missed and we all felt so well taken care of. Our daughter had the wedding she had always dreamed of and we felt as if nothing could have topped this wedding. The quality of the food was impressive and exceeded our expectations.

The pre-planning and communication prior to the event was seamless. Upon our arrival for the weekend, we knew that we could somewhat relax and know that Riverside had us all taken care of.

Many thanks to all!

Amazing venue

My wife and I had an incredible wedding at Riverside Farm. We got the property for the whole week, which was great because we were able to use the trail system, the nearby river, and a different barn for each event. The event spaces themselves are truly beautiful and photographed really well. While you're limited to using their preferred vendors, they're all top-notch, so you don't have to worry about finding vendors on your own. This can save you a lot of time, since they've already curated the best vendors for you. It's worth noting that the 10 p.m. cutoff time for sound is strictly upheld.

A Magical Wedding Weekend

Riverside Farm executed in every department to create a truly magical wedding experience for my son and daughter-in-law. The setting is beautiful, the food was amazing, and Kaycee and her team professionally guided the event from start to finish. It exceeded our expectations and will be a favorite memory for years to come.

Everyone still says it was the best wedding they have ever been to!

When I say two years later, guests still tell us our wedding is the best wedding they have ever been to, I'm not kidding! Everything was perfect, and there's no better feeling than knowing all the stress of wedding planning was worth it! Our photos had beautiful mountains in the background, and everything on the farm was so aesthetically pleasing that every picture turned wedding catalog worthy. Also, because this was a getaway for guests, people really were able to relax and fully enjoy themselves.

Best Wedding Ever- All my guests still talk about it years later

Our wedding at Riverside Farm in Vermont was an absolute dream come true. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning natural beauty surrounding the venue. The farm is nestled in the lush Vermont countryside, with scenic views, rustic charm, and an intimate ambiance that made our celebration feel both magical and timeless.

The service was impeccable. Every member of the team went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly, catering to our every need with genuine care and attention to detail. From the planning stages to the final moments of the night, they anticipated every detail, ensuring we could enjoy every moment without stress. The staff's dedication to making our wedding perfect allowed us to relax and be fully present with our loved ones.

Riverside Farm is truly one of a kind. The attention to detail in every corner—from the floral arrangements and lighting to the beautiful setup of the ceremony and reception spaces—was unmatched. The barn, with its warm wooden beams, and the elegant decor created a cozy yet refined atmosphere that had everyone in awe.

Even two years later, our guests still tell us this was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. Riverside Farm gave us a day filled with love, joy, and beauty that left a lasting impression on everyone there. If you're looking for a venue with impeccable service, breathtaking scenery, and an unforgettable experience, Riverside Farm is the place to make your dreams come true.

Kaycee is the absolute best!!

There are no words to describe how amazing Kaycee at Riverside is to work with. My fiancé and I visited Riverside and then went through a series of life changes over the next 5 months where we weren’t able to commit to a date or venue, over that extended period of time Kaycee continued to give us space while keeping an open communication line back and forth. She held the date we wanted, communicated effectively without ever being pushy, and was so patient and kind with us throughout the entire process. We ultimately ended up going with another venue in a different state due to logistics completely out of Riversides control. It was such a hard decision and in a large part due to how incredible and accommodating Kaycee was to work with – she was always willing to chat, offered genuine advice, and always, always put us first. Could not thank Kaycee enough!

A Truly Special Wedding Venue

Our wedding at Riverside Farm far exceeded any expectations we had of a wedding venue. From the impeccably coordinated Riverside staff and talented local vendors to the on-site lodging paired with accommodations at the Amee Lodge, Riverside Farm went above and beyond delivering on all accounts for our wedding.

Alli, our coordinator, was exceptional. All our guests were amazed at how well she ran the weekend and how calm she was the entire time! Alli does not miss a single beat - I never told her anything twice, she always got it on the first go around and remembered every single detail - even things I didn't remember! She brings new meaning to the trait "detail-oriented." She is flexible, extremely organized, very responsive, professional, and easy-going.

Vermont Farm Catering was also phenomenal - from the initial call to the tasting to the day-of, Katie and Kevin always made excellent food and drink recommendations. One month after the wedding, our guests are still raving about the food and trying to figure out how the salmon was prepared! Everyone said it was the best wedding food (including dessert) that they've ever had. Katie and Kevin's staff and bartenders are also extraordinary and run a fabulous wedding. Riverside Farm weddings feel like a warm gathering and that's largely due to the atmosphere and staff. As my mom said at the end of the weekend, "I'm ready to do every event here."

An Amazing Experience!

The minute that we toured Riverside, we knew that we had to get married there. My husband and I fell in love when we walked into the Brown Barn. From our first email inquiry to the farewell brunch, every detail was taken care of. I can't say enough positive things about the Riverside team - they are professional, responsive, and incredibly detail oriented. Alli, the wedding coordinator, was an absolute pleasure to work with. We were the only wedding of 2020 and Riverside made all of the adjustments necessary to allow us to have a safe celebration that match what we imagined. All our guests were floored by the gorgeous property and the way the whole weekend ran so smoothly. I can not recommend them enough!

Winter Wedding that Exceeded Expectations

Our entire experience working with the crew at Riverside Farm (specifically Alli!) from the initial tour to the post-wedding final details was incredible. We planned our wedding in 7 months (July engagement to February wedding) and we truly enjoyed all of it depite the quick timeline! The venue itself is stunning, the on site lodging options are awesome, and all of the recommended vendors that had long-standing relationships with the venue are a dream to work with. We are so happy that we trusted Alli from the get-go with our wedding vision because the ceremony and reception truly exceeded all of our expectations. Of special note should also be the catering company that works with the venue (Vermont Farms). They crushed it! Our reception food was one of the best meals I have ever eaten. I cannot recommend everything about this venue highly enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

People occasionally ask us what our favorite venues are to play outside of New York City. Riverside Farm is always the first name on our list, as we've never had anything less than a fantastic experience playing there, working with their great team and seeing our happy clients at the end of the night, who are always thrilled that they chose to head up to Pittsfield, VT. One of the most beautiful settings, incredible food, a flexible and creative staff and a great sounding set of rooms on their property make Riverside pretty unbeatable. Well worth a look!
