    Must Book Vendor!

    Riverhouse catering made our wedding wonderful! Mary was so professional and accommodating to ensure our wedding vision came to life. Riverhouse has amazing food, but they also offer so much more. We met with Mary multiple times leading up to our wedding to ensure any changes were made and all questions were answered. Riverhouse is easy to communicate with and comes with a team of true professionals. Definitely was a must-book vendor!

    Great food and great service

    Mary was amazing to work with. She was attentive and informative during our planning process. She was flexible with options as far as food goes. Missy and Nora were out “attendants” the day of the wedding and they could not have been better for us. We would use Riverhouse again for sure!

    Riverhouse was a Dream to work with!

    I truly can not thank Mary, Donna and the Riverhouse Catering team enough for all they did to make our wedding perfect. If you are considering working with Riverhouse, do it! You will not regret your decision. The food was delicious (and very accommodating to guests with food restrictions) we received so many compliments from our gusts. Beyond that, their team's attention to detail and willingness to support in so many ways far exceeded my expectations. We held our wedding on a working farm - aka not your typical venue - which had potential to present challenges, but working with Riverhouse had the process of setting up the space and pulling off our dream wedding seem seamless and stress free. Thank you Riverhouse!!

    Phenomenal - more than simple catering!

    I just got back from my honeymoon and all I want to do is relive the awesomeness and perfection my wedding day. It was an absolute success because of Riverhouse Catering. They are a preferred vendor for the Glastonbury Boathouse. (In my opinion, they should be the number 1 vendor for catering and day of coordination.) From our initial call with Jim to working with Mary leading up to the Big Day and having Donna and Joe on the day of the wedding, Riverhouse Catering truly exceeded my expectations with their holistic approach in efficient and fast communication and most of all AMAZING FOOD!! They are more than just catering, they make sure your day is well-coordinated and that every detail is thought out well in advance. They are willing and enthusiastic to work with you and make your day exactly how you want it. They even accommodated guests with various food needs (allergies and religious restrictions). I cannot recommend them enough! Our guests are still commenting on how great the food tasted and how well everything went! Thank you so so much to the Riverhouse Catering Team!

    Best Vendor decision we made!

    We can not say enough amazing things about this company!! They were the most flexible, accommodating group we have ever worked with! Their coordinator Mary was amazing! We had to postpone our wedding during Covid and their team made the process so easy and stress free. Their team is incredibly patient and came to our off site location to help get themselves prepared for our weekend. Would recommend them to any and everyone who needs a caterer for any event!!

    Totally recommend! Amazing food!

    Completely recommend working with Riverhouse Catering. Their packages are super reasonable for the quality and quantity you receive. We loved all the food that was served at our wedding and got so many compliments from our guests. Also all the staff was so amazing to work with and made sure we were taken care of all night. The event coordinator made sure every detail was covered and executed perfectly - and it turned out that way. We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID, and they had no problem switching arrangements. We would not recommend them more!

    Excellent Choice!

    We really enjoyed our experience with Riverhouse! They were able to adjust to our guest count due to COVID and really worked to make sure the evening was special. They paid close attention to detail and made sure that were were happy with everything from our tasting to the venue walkthrough. The guest really enjoyed the food and raved about the ice cream bar!! Overall a really great experience!

    Riverhouse Catering was Excellent

    We had an excellent experience working with Riverhouse in setting up our wedding day. Kirsten and her staff were great throughout the process of planning the wedding. She gave great guidance, advice, and was highly flexible with the changes we wanted to make along the way. They did an excellent job in executing what we had planned for so long and we couldn't recommend them more.

    Priceless!!!!!

    I cannot put into words how amazing Riverhouse Catering is. From the very beginning they made everything smooth, easy, and wonderful. From the venue to the food, the staff at Riverhouse was just a dream to work with. I had all my questions answered and all my bridal worries relieved. From the very beginning they told me they handle everything for the big day and all I have to do is show up! That is exactly what I wanted and what I got. I had a fabulous team working with me who made me comfortable and stress-free. The food was fantastic! They do an amazing tasting for both dinner and desert. The team even puts you in contact with other vendors if needed. Riverhouse helped me get a DJ LAST MINUTE!!! I would only recommend Riverhouse. They are simply the best. My husband and I are forever grateful to them for their extraordinary service.

    Exceeded all expectations!

    Our wedding was an absolute DREAM COME TRUE … in large part to Riverhouse Catering. From the very beginning of the planning process their staff, in particular the Catering Sales Manager, Kirsten Perchout, was incredibly helpful. I tend to be very detail oriented and always had a ton of questions and our countless emails were always answered promptly with thoughtful responses. She guided us through the entire planning process and offered great suggestions to really personalize our special day. Subsequently, our wedding day was perfect – without one misstep. The day-of staff was so incredibly helpful, and led our event with professionalism and precision. Ashley, Louise, and the rest of the day-of staff made sure my husband and I, along with our wedding party had plenty of food and drinks while we took pictures during the cocktail hour as to not miss out on any of our festivities. They were attentive, organized, and kept our event on track! There is not one negative thing we can say about Riverhouse Catering, we will forever be grateful to them for helping us create an unforgettable wedding experience!

    Delicious and Professional

    Riverhouse Catering knows how to make an outdoor, fall wedding in Connecticut feel like an effortless occasion for the married couple. We selected Riverhouse Catering via our amazing wedding planner – Diana Chouinard of Jubilee Events. From the tasting event with our parents to our wedding day, Kristen and Riverhouse Catering shined each step of the way. My husband and I fell in love with each bite of flavorful appetizers, entrees, and desserts. The bar staff and professional waitstaff made our night feel refined. BONUS: the happy couple has a dedicated attendant throughout the event to ensure you taste each bite and stayed hydrated. We highly recommend Riverhouse Catering for any off-site event, especially a fall wedding under a tent in Connecticut.

    A step above the rest!

    Riverhouse made the planning process easy from the very beginning. They worked hard to assure everything I envisioned came to life. Kirsten was always quick to respond & help with any questions and concerns I had. Our server Sofia didn’t leave anything to be desired. Anything we needed she got immediately for us. Riverhouse isn’t only a catering service. They help with every step of the wedding planning process down to setting up decorations and helping with rentals. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

    Excellent Wedding Planner/Caterer

    RHC worked very well with us and answered our TEN THOUSAND questions. They responded quickly via email and on the day of the wedding they were most accommodating to my husband and I. We had a personal assistant, she helped with my dress, she got me plates, drinks and snacks. There is so much that goes into weddings, more than we realized and working with them was easy. Which is exactly what you need when dealing with everything else. I would recommend them and their food was a big hit with our guests.

    Incredible team at Riverhouse Catering

    We could not be more pleased with Riverhouse Catering. So many family members and friends kept telling us how amazing the food was and all the catering staff on our wedding day. Riverhouse was honestly a joy to work with. So professional, easy to communicate with, very organized. Everything on our wedding day went flawlessly--cannot recommend Riverhouse enough!

    Incredible!

    Riverhouse is amazing! My husband and I were lucky enough to work with them for our wedding day and Riverhouse exceeded our expectations. Everyone we worked with was organized, professional, friendly and accommodating! Our wedding was at my parents house and they were able to set up a kitchen right next to the main tent and served amazing food! All of our guests really enjoyed the passed appetizers and meals they were served, all the food was not only delicious but beautiful to look at, our salads with the peaches and bib lettuce were a work of art! Our wedding was extremely colorful, like all the colors, and Riverhouse came up with inventive rainbow food to add to our cheese bar and dessert bar, rainbow mac&cheese, rainbow bread for grilled cheeses, rainbow marshmallows, rainbow mousse...everyone loved this and it was just magical. Riverhouse was also able to accommodate my fathers last minute dietary restrictions, he recently became a vegan, and they prepared a vegan option just for him! We truly couldn't recommend them more!! The best!

    Riverhouse Catering

    Riverhouse Catering was amazing from the very beginning! My husband and I are vegan and wanted our wedding to align with our views. Riverhouse Catering was flexible with our wishes and had a variety of delicious meals to choose from.
    Planning a wedding by ourselves would have been challenging, but Kirsten and her team made the process so easy. They are clearly professionals and it shows in their attention to detail.
    On the day of our wedding, Riverhouse Catering was on-time and prepared. We had a wonderful team member with us all day and she made sure we were comfortable, fed and happy. Riverhouse Catering helped make our visions come alive and I could not have asked for a more beautiful day.

    Spring Wedding

    What a joy it was to work with the team at Riverhouse! I had a long engagement but they still checked in with me regularly and were quick to respond whenever I had questions or concerns. They are so thorough and I was able to trust in them fully. Kirsten, my main point of contact, is a total rock star. She made sure we were on the same page and was able to pivot whenever something had to change, like the total headcount, or a specific hors d'oeuvre, whatever it was she would listen and come up with a plan, and on the big day I didn't have to worry about a single thing- she went above and beyond getting in touch with my other vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. Oh and, let's not forget, the food & drinks were GREAT.

    Everything and more!

    Riverhouse Catering was amazing to work with from the first time we spoke! Our coordinator, Kirsten, was incredibly organized, professional, and positive! She provided recommendations for our ceremony, reception, and guidance on every important detail. We planned our entire wedding from afar, and with Riverhouse’s help along the way, we felt incredibly confident about the day’s events and flow. Our bridal attendant, Della, was sensational and ensured we had everything we needed and more on the day of our wedding. The food and catering were amazing, our guests raved about everything from cocktail hour to specific parts of dinner. We would recommend Riverhouse Catering to every couple, they will ensure your event is tailored to your needs, and will make for a night you will always remember!

    Superb Service

    Riverhouse Catering provided outstanding service for our daughter and now son-in-law's wedding. Our requirements we somewhat unusual since we were celebrating at the New England Air Museum (NEAM) and they had to work around airplanes. Everything was executed beautifully and we could not have been happier. Guests all enjoyed the delicious offerings at the cocktail hours, the buffet dinner, and the delightful desserts. Thank you for a wonderful wedding!

    We initially chose Riverhouse Catering for our wedding over several recommendations from our venue because of their professionalism. After the tasting we knew Riverhouse was the one. All of their dishes were delicious with great presentation. In our opinion they went above and beyond what is expected of a caterer. They helped enormously with the planning, and on the day of the wedding everything was executed perfectly from beginning to end.

    We used Riverhouse Catering for our wedding last Saturday, September 29th, 2018. I cannot say enough good thing about them! Kirsten handled all our planning, Jake was our event captain, and Della was the wonderful staff member who attended to my husband and me all day. The three of them, along with the entire staff were absolutely wonderful. The food was AMAZING, and our guests could not stop talking about the professionalism and attention to detail from this company. Riverhouse really helped make or fairytale wedding all the more memorable. I could sit here all day saying nice things, but I can simply say USE THEM! You won't regret it!!!!

    Riverhouse catered our wedding at The Society Room last week and the food was absolutely delicious. We had the chance to go to a tasting to sample the hors d'oeuvres, appetizers,salads and entrees and we really were blown away by how great everything was. The short rib was to die for and all of our guests were commenting on how amazing the food was from start to finish. We had a few guests with allergies and this was taken into consideration and on the day they received adapted versions of the dishes which was wonderful. If there's one thing you hope guests take away from a wedding it's that there was great food and Riverhouse definitely provided that!Would highly recommend!

    Kirsten & the staff at Riverhouse Catering were amazing! Our timeline was very short. Kirsten was so polite, professional & flexible. Already having had a previous great experience with Riverhouse, I am not surprised by how flawlessly everything ran, but I want to give a shout-out to Judy Ann & the fabulous staff on Saturday night. My guests raved over the wonderful food. I overheard many people comment on it and some made a point of telling me how delicious and unique the appetizers were. We have a family with multiple food allergies & Kirsten & the Riverhouse chef were extremely accommodating. The chef made changes to the menu items, substituted items & made a delicious meal that my whole family (& non-allergic friends) could enjoy. I am so indebted to your chef for providing an allergy-friendly spread that my family & friends alike were able to enjoy. Again, I cannot tell you how delighted my 3 daughters & my husband were to be able to eat such a wide variety of offerings at a party. They are used to being reduced to only a few foods at a gathering. The museum was beautiful, the various food stations were attractive, the bar was easily accessible. Everything was top-notch. Riverhouse Catering will be my first choice for all my future events!

    Riverhouse Catering, with the team managed by Kirsten, was instrumental in making our daughter's wedding on June 30, 2018 absolutely spectacular! Prior to the wedding, Kirsten attended 2 very long meetings at Folly Farm in Simsbury, CT, the wedding venue. She was organized, receptive to our requests, handled our concerns with professionalism, and managed the extensive details involved in a 235 person wedding like the true professional that she is. The on-site event coordinator, Jake, did an amazing job in managing the timing, preparation, service and amazing quality and presentation of the food. Riverhouse was responsible for providing the bar and bartenders, linens, silverware, glassware, etc. for this gorgeous outdoor wedding. The tables were set to perfection, and there were more than enough wait staff ensure that everything was executed to perfection. The attendant dedicated to the bride and groom and their parents, Della, was fabulous! She continually made sure that we all had food, beverages to keep us cool on that very hot day, and ensured that anything needed was attended to. Riverhouse's off-site catering team was truly a group of highly trained and professional people. The quality of the pre-wedding coordination, day-of service, attention to detail and incredible food were beyond our expectations. This team was instrumental in making our daughter's and son in law's wedding day the wedding of their dreams! As Mother of the Bride, I cannot recommend Riverhouse Catering enough, and I highly recommend them
