Boathouse Meets Country Charm

We simply cannot say enough amazing things about this venue! Michele, our coordinator, was incredible. As soon as we met her we knew she would be the reliable person we could entrust with our special day. She was straight forward, detail oriented, and was always easy to reach. She made sure that everything was exactly to our liking and was so flexible with the changes we made. The owner was incredibly kind, honest, and truly wants all of the people getting married there to simply have the best day. The staff was incredibly friendly to both the wedding party and the guests. Not to mention, the food was delicious! (Our guests were literally raving about the braised beef, steak and cheese egg rolls and the buffalo chicken wontons!) I wish we could repeat that day over and over! Thank you to the staff at Jones River and a special extra thank you to Michele! 10/10 recommend. - Chris & Michaela

Flawless From Start to Finish

I truly could not have asked for a better experience than what I had with Jones River Trading Post, and especially with Michele who coordinates the events. From the very beginning, she was an absolute dream to work with. Her communication was top notch, and she always made me feel completely supported and confident in every decision.

Any worries or stress I had, Michele immediately calmed. She truly thinks of everything, which allowed me to fully relax and just focus on enjoying my wedding day. Because of her, everything ran so smoothly and seamlessly. I never had to worry about a single thing.

I honestly cannot imagine my wedding without Michele. She was such a huge part of what made the day so perfect. I am endlessly grateful for her and cannot recommend Jones River Trading Post and Michele highly enough.

Even Better Than I Could Have Asked

We planned our wedding in less than five months, and Michele and the team at Jones River Trading Post, made this so easy! The space is beautiful, indoors and out; the food is delicious; the staff is friendly and competent. Michele, the venue coordinator, is awesome! She made sure that every detail of our event was tended to— leading up to and during all parts of the wedding and reception. She even seemed to be having fun while doing all of it! We literally worried about nothing. On top of everything else, Jones River Trading Post was affordable. We can’t recommend them enough!

Wonderful experience!

My husband and I were married at Jones River Trading this past October, and it was a truly wonderful experience overall. In the final weeks leading up to our wedding, Michele was very attentive, responsive, and helpful in ensuring everything came together smoothly. The food was absolutely delicious, and many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it.

The venue itself is stunning—full of charm, character, and history. The indoor space, in particular, created such a warm and inviting atmosphere with so much to take in. We were also pleased with how affordable everything was for the quality and experience we received. It was the perfect setting for our special day, and we’re so glad we chose Jones River Trading.

Absolutely perfect experience!!

It's been a little over a month since our wedding and I'm still not over it. Jones River Trading, the staff, the food, the atmosphere- were all so incredible and exactly what we were hoping it would be!
The venue itself is amazing. It's huge and gives guests plenty of space to be comfortable. The ceremony area gets set so beautifully; the mix of guests on the deck and on the lawn was a cool touch that I loved! The dance floor is massive and beautiful, the bar from Dublin is insane, the suite in the back is huge and perfect for the bridal party to leave their belongings and the subtle decor/houseplants throughout makes this place feel so cozy.
The staff was also incredible. Mark was easy to talk to with leading up to our date, answering questions and scheduling walkthroughs, and Michele, our coordinator, deserves an award. She was so incredible to have present. She truly made our day so seamless and stressless because she put so much effort into making everything perfect. From rehearsal to the ceremony to the reception, absolute perfection. Michele was my right hand throughout the day which is something that is not really common with venue coordinators, but something I appreciated so much. The decor I brought was set up with zero question or hesitation, she nailed our memory wall without even asking who was who... Michele also joined us during our sunset photos and literally had traffic stopped for us!! The photos are unreal. At the end of the night, Michele allowed us to leave to enjoy the rest of the night with our guests and we went returned the next morning to collect our belongings. She was so accommodating, helpful and caring throughout the entire day/night. I'd be lying if I said I don't keep in contact with her still!!
The food was incredibly delicious and the portions were huge! We opted for the short ribs and Statler chicken and our guests are still talking about their meals and how good they were! This was very important to us going into this, so we are VERY happy with the food selections, presentations and taste!
Long story short- this venue is so amazing, and I would have my wedding here again and again if I could. We had such an amazing experience with staff who truly care about the couples and their guests. I have not a single complaint about booking here!

Beautiful!

We had an amazing wedding at Jones River with Plymouth Bay Catering, and it was perfect! Our coordinator, Michele, was amazing. She made the space look stunning with our decor and kept everything running smoothly. She went above and beyond, answering texts beforehand with any question we had, and made us feel so happy and calm on our day. She balanced keeping us on schedule without ever making us feel pressured, so we could truly enjoy each moment. She was organized, easy to work with, and even made sure we got to eat dinner while we were busy mingling. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Stunning Hall and Amazing Service

The Jones River Trading Post was absolutely amazing and we could not have been happier with our choice. From the time I first met with Mark to plan out the details, until the actual day of the wedding, communication was responsive and stress-free. The venue was stunning and exactly what we had hoped for. The staff were pleasant and accommodating, and a special thanks to the wedding coordinator, Michelle, who was truly phenomenal and went above and beyond to ensure our day was one that we will never forget!!!

Ceremony/Reception Venue

I loved this venue so much, it was the first and only venue I looked at after getting engaged! I loved having the option for both an indoor and outdoor ceremony, especially when it rained on my September wedding day! The food was amazing! Michele was the best coordinator I could have ever asked for especially coordinating my crazy bridal party. Michele kept checking in to make sure we were taken care of and brought my vision to life better than I could have imagined! The staff set everything up before my arrival and packed everything up before the end up of the night for me making sure I was truly able to enjoy my whole day/night!

Our Dream Wedding Venue

Thank you Michelle (wedding coordinator) for making our special day nothing less than spectacular! Jones River Trading Post's attention to detail, from the catering (buffet), meal options were wonderful. My guests loves the presentation, your impeccable service from the appetizer offerings throughout the cocktail and photo shoot time to keeping the food warm until all ate. Michelle accepted all my texts and calls as I planned my wedding from San Diego! To top it off we had beautiful weather on 9/22/23! Highly recommend this venue- a nautical themed setting which fit right in for the Navy bride, groom and guests! what a hit

Our perfect wedding

We got married here on 7/29/23 and our day was perfect! Michele our day of coordinator was a godsend and gave us piece of mind and had everything run smoothly.There was a storm supposed to happen during the ceremony but I was really wanting it to be outside so they waited until 30 minutes before to set up outside to make sure we wouldn’t get rained out. Also even with severe weather and a tornado happening later in the night everything ran smoothly and didn’t affect anything. We did the station party for dinner, and the chocolate fountain for dessert, and it was a big hit for our guests. We got compliments through out the night on how good the food was and how beautiful the venue was with the lighting and decorations. The staff was extremely helpful and had great dance moves as well. One of the servers was also a seamstress and helped me with my bustle multiple times. As I was planning the wedding I had lots of questions and the staff was very helpful and answered all of my questions no matter how small and made great suggestions. For how expensive weddings are especially in New England I feel like we were able to stay in our budget. The venue doesn’t need much decoration with how beautiful and eclectic it is. Our day was perfect and I would recommend it to anyone planning an event or wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
