    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.

    September Riverside Wedding

    We got married on September 21st at Riverside Farm and we cannot say enough good things about them. The entire team was so welcoming and helpful during the whole process, honestly we kept thinking "are we doing everything we need to, we feel like we should be more stressed" but since Riverside was so on top of everything it just made the entire experience way more relaxed and enjoyable. Alli, the planner on site, was incredibly helpful and ensured the days ran exactly how we wanted them to. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, we had a beautiful day, but even if it had been raining it would have been just as gorgeous. The large field where we had our ceremony was well kept and sprawling. All of the barns are unique and beautiful in their own ways. We had a tented dinner since we had a large group, and the location was just perfect for movement from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to dinner, to dancing. All of the accommodations on site were SO COOL as well. Perfectly fit into the venue vibe and all of our guests loved staying there. We cannot recommend Riverside enough!

    Perfection

    Booking Riverside was hands down the best choice we made when it came to wedding planning. Everyone was really responsive, helpful and flexible. The on site planner knows the venue inside and out and knows many of the local vendors which made planning a breeze. They also contract with Vermont's top caterer which made the food selection process really easy and enjoyable (not to mention, we still have people months later telling us it was the best wedding food they've ever had). The staff was extremely professional and allowed us to pull of our dream wedding weekend!

    June Wedding at Riverside Farm

    I can't say enough about how much we loved our experience at Riverside Farm for our wedding. We hosted a 3 day event (Fri-Sun) for our June wedding (~130 guests) and all of the details were perfect. Alli worked with us throughout to the process to ensure we had the wedding weekend of our dreams. Throughout the weekend, she handled all of the last minute touches so that we could enjoy our time at Riverside Farm and not stress about place cards, napkin folds, keeping our wedding part on schedule during the rehearsal and wedding day, etc.

    Our guests loved their onsite accommodations both at Riverside Farm and down the road at the Amee Lodge. It was the perfect experience for our out of town guests who were coming up to Vermont for the first time.

    I know that the fall is a popular time for weddings in Vermont, but our summer wedding at Riverside Farm was pure magic. Thank you Alli and the entire RF team!

    Incredible experience

    As someone in the wedding industry - there is NOTHING more joyful than seeing an event not only be seamless, but intentional, focused and truly a delight from moment to moment. I could not be more thankful for the Riverside Farm team and how they helped my best friend have the wedding of her dreams!

    Amazing wedding venue!! Amazing event coordinator there -- Alli K! Beautiful facilities and beautiful location!! If you're even thinking about a Vermont wedding you must look at Riverside Farms. Every single detail of my daughter's wedding this weekend was planned thoroughly and each staff person was incredibly supportive and polite and helpful. Honestly, we cannot say enough about Riverside Farm and Amee Farm Lodge. Our whole family stayed at Amee Farm Lodge, the Inn near the wedding venue, and that was incredible too! Fabulous breakfast, super accommodating innkeeper, Ray, and a big living room with great views where we hung out. The Riverside Farms venue without a doubt made our wedding there one of the happiest days of our lives, and of our daughter's life. No detail was too small to ask about, no wish was left unbidden! Just as we were waiting to walk onto the gorgeous lawn for the ceremony, the fantastic event manager, Alli K. ran off to get some mints -- all because I casually said, "Do you have any mints?" You MUST look at Riverside Farms for your wedding. They made the whole day a beautiful and flawless memory!

    Can't speak highly enough of Riverside Farm and Alli Kozick! We just got married there and I wanted to write a review as soon as I could because I was so appreciative of all they did to make our wedding weekend the best it could be. The venue is insanely beautiful - we thought it was amazing when we first visited, but once we saw it filled with our family and friends it really blew us away. Many, many guests said it was best wedding (other than their own, if they were married) that they've every been to.

    Scenery/Venue - perfect. it's so insanely beautiful, photos don't capture it.
    Food - You don't get an option to choose caterers, but Vermont Farms Catering is AMAZING and many people said it was the best wedding food they ever had.
    Housing - the onsite rooms are perfect for friends. we loved the bridal/grooms cottages to get ready and our friends who stayed in the stables/caretakers cottage loved it. Amee Farm was perfect for my large family and our friends loved Trailside Inn.
    Town - Pittsfield is adorable! Rural, but has everything you'd need (awesome food at general store, amazing hiking, larger scale amenities in Killington)

    On-site Coordinator - ALLI IS THE BEST!! She was so easy to work with and kept us on track - she was patient and kind, but also so organized and clear. It was so nice to have her to ask questions and get her expertise since she's seen far more weddings that we have. Alli told us we wouldn't need a wedding planner and she was 100% correct - the weekend went off seamlessly! Alli is the best!

    If you're contemplating getting married at Riverside - DO IT!! You will not regret it and it will be amazing. I love that not only do my husband and I have perfect memories, but our friends and family all do too. It was so nice to see them happy and it really made the weekend wonderful for us. I wouldn't change a single thing!

    We got married at Riverside Farms in July 2018 and had an absolutely wonderful weekend. We have nothing but very positive things to say about the property, the coordinator, and all of the vendors. The property was spectacular and we loved having everything on site. Our wedding coordinator Alli was truly wonderful. She was such a big part of our ability to ensure a stress free weekend and made sure everything leading up to the wedding was taken care of as and when it needed to be. The food from Vermont Farms Catering was incredible and we had so many of our guests tell us it was the best wedding food they have ever had. The weekend was more than we could have dreamed. Very highly recommend getting married here! Photos Kir2ben.

    My wife and I were married at Riverside Farms in June of 2018. From start to finish, our experience with Riverside was nothing short of exceptional.

    First and foremost, Alli (our wedding planner and day of coordinator) was absolutely wonderful. Alli was thoughtful, dedicated, detail-oriented, helpful, and responsive. Our wedding weekend went off without a single hitch, and it was all because of her. We honestly couldn’t be happier with the incredible work she did.

    Riverside provided us with a backdrop of a quintessential Vermont experience. We used every inch of the property and created a weekend-long experience for our guests.

    We started with a rehearsal dinner on Friday evening in the Red Barn, which transitioned into a welcome party for all of our out of town guests. The night was one of the highlights of the weekend as guests were able to meet and connect with one another in a fun, relaxing, and intimate setting. On Saturday, our ceremony was held out by the ceremony tree with minimal decorations so that the picturesque mountains were the focal point. After the wedding, guests were escorted to a cocktail hour under a tent. From there, we moved into the Brown Barn were votives lined the rustic beams and greenery filled the tables. The space in the Brown Barn was perfect- from the flow of dinner, to the dance floor, to the open porch area, our guests felt so comfortable and so at home. On Sunday, we held a brunch in the Red Barn- it was a great setting for everyone to say their goodbyes.

    The food for each event was provided by Kevin and Katie from Vermont Farm Catering. We have had numerous wedding guests tell us that the food they ate was “flat out the best food they had ever had at a wedding”. The food was fresh, local, and in-season and made for an incredible variety of dishes that brought the spirit of the wedding alive.

    In every aspect of Riverside, we couldn’t have imagined anything more perfect!

    Words can’t express how truly magical this venue is. My husband and I were married at Riverside in June, and we cannot get over how amazing it was—and neither can our guests! The grounds are breathtakingly beautiful with lush, grassy fields and perfectly-maintained gardens surrounded by the picturesque Green Mountains. The barns are also gorgeous. They’ve been lovingly restored with attention paid to every detail. Riverside is n also unique and full of character. You’ll find fun details and personal touches around every corner. We loved that our wedding party could stay with us on the property. It was seriously like adult summer camp—SO MUCH FUN! We also loved that there were so many different event spaces that we got to utilize throughout the weekend: from rehearsal dinner in the stone cellar and the welcome party in red barn, to cocktail hour on the tented patio and the reception in the brown barn. It did rain on our wedding day so we couldn’t have the ceremony outside like we’d planned, yet the team at Riverside managed to turn the red barn into a lovely, intimate ceremony site. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the team at Riverside is. They will guide you through every step of the planning process and do everything they can to ensure you have the wedding of your dreams. Alli, our wedding coordinator, was truly phenomenal. We didn’t have to stress about anything during our wedding weekend because Alli had it all under control. They truly go above and beyond at Riverside. If you want a wedding that will wow your guests and leave you with amazing memories to cherish for a lifetime, this is your place

    I cannot begin to describe how happy my wife and I are with the service and experience we had with Riverside Farm. The obvious things area easy...the venue is quite literally one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places on earth. We had a wonderful fall wedding, but truly every season is picturesque there and will showcase any wedding vision on a grand scale. But beyond the aesthetics, the level of care and detail that the staff and Kim in particular provide is remarkable. Long story short for us was that we had to let our wedding planner go 3 weeks before the wedding, and Kim stepped in and helped us get our arms around ALL of the logistics. I can't believe how supportive, communicative, and effective she was in taking a near crisis situation and turning it into perfection. We owe her and the staff the world. Our wedding would have been a disaster without them, and we are forever grateful not just for the job they did, but the fact that they cared as much about every detail as we did. I cannot endorse Riverside passionately enough, and between Kim and Peter and the rest of the staff you are in the best possible hands with them!

    We got married at RF 9/16/17 and it was the most magical weekend of our lives! We are still in awe of the entire experience! My husband grew up skiing for Killington & I just adore VT so after one of his close friends told us about RF, we planned a visit. We instantly knew it was meant to be. We had wanted to find a place where our friends & family could all be together rather than on a shuttle as we knew most of the guests would have a lengthy trip to get there in the first place. We had the entire property to ourselves all weekend and each event was on-site. All of our guests stayed within 9 miles of the property - including RF's sister property, Amee Farm Lodge (Matthew & Chris are the most hospitable, kind, and professional hosts ever!). The property is remarkable, inside and out. Our initial coordinator left a couple months prior to our wedding but we were ecstatic with our new coordinator, Kim - she was so hands-on, supportive, eager to help & professional. She made the planning process an absolute pleasure. She went above & beyond from start to finish with the utmost calmness & confidence. We are and will be forever grateful for her and all she did to help us in the months leading up to our wedding and on the actual weekend. The team is incredibly professional & have mastered the entire process w/o having it seem like a 'formula'. We were part of every decision & able to put our personal touches on every aspect. Kim was open to all of our ideas and if she was able to execute it, she did and in the few cases she couldn't, she came up with a list of similar ideas that they could do instead (many of which we liked more than our original idea!). We can't praise RF, AFL, Trailside, VFC & everyone involved. Our guests have gone out of their way to contact us and tell us RF was the most beautiful venue they have ever seen. I am already in touch w/ a couple who we met during their tour of the venue as they have decided to tie the knot at RF next year!

    Everyone is in love with their own wedding, but we couldn't be happier with Riverside Farm. The property is absolutely stunning and the team went above and beyond on countless occasions to make our weekend everything we wanted and more. Most farms we toured were either too rustic or had the wedding factory feel. Riverside fits into that unique category where you have all the character of a VT farm with a professional team to make sure the details of the wedding all come together. If you want a farm wedding in VT (and you should), we can't imagine a better place.

    To say that Riverside Farm was the venue of my dreams would be an understatement. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we knew this was the place we were going to get married! It is so far above any venue we have ever been to (and there have been A LOT). It is breathtaking in every single way. What really sold us from the start though, were the people. Many venues we visited treated us as just another couple getting married. We never felt special. From the first meeting at Riverside, we felt like we were family. They seemed just as excited as we were!! With each email and visit to Riverside (and there were MANY), we got to know the team so well (Kim is just the greatest!) and really felt at home. Every detail that Riverside thinks of is extraordinary. From all the gorgeous furniture and decor to updating the signs with your choice of cities, this place is just pure magic. I wouldn't change a thing and am so grateful I found Riverside Farms.

    I couldn't have asked for a better venue than Riverside Farm! The property is absolutely stunning and my guests were raving about it all weekend long. I loved having each event in a different location on the farm, it certainly kept things exciting. Working with Kim was also a highlight of my wedding planning process. She was so flexible, helpful and, most importantly, quick to respond. I highly recommend this venue!

    The Riverside venue and the entire staff exceeded all of our expectations for our wedding day. The venue is stunning, but what really made our planning/wedding day exceptional was the people at Riverside. Kim Gaines was our planner and she was responsive, flexible to accommodate our needs/changes, and incredibly attentive to us and our guests.
    We decided to not hire a wedding planner, which made us a bit nervous, but Kim and the staff were amazing. From introducing us to caterers/florists, to communicating with our band, and even reaching out to family who had questions, she/they did it all.
    If anyone is looking for a picture perfect Vermont location, where the venue is professional and welcoming, you couldn't ask for a better place!

    I do not think I can describe how blown away I was and still am by the team at Riverside Farms. Leading up to my wedding I had countless people tell me that 1 huge thing will go wrong on the day. But despite the unexpected snow storm and the rain I can honestly say it was a beyond perfect day and I have Sophie, Kim, and their team at Riverside to thank for that. Everything was perfect from the helpful and friendly wait staff to the rooms we stayed in. They know all the answers to your questions before you even ask them. I had a tiny dress malfunction and Kim was there with safety pins and clothespins ready to help me in my time of need. I could not have dreamt of a better place to get married or a better group of people to help make my dreams come true.

    Riverside Farm is an absolutely stunning location to get married. The venue itself is incredibly, with multiple barns and sites to host different events (rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, etc.) all set against a beautiful rural Vermont backdrop. The people who work there are also fantastic and make wedding planning and the running of the actual day a breeze. Our assigned wedding coordinator was so friendly, helpful, and hugely responsive, answering the millions of questions we bombarded her with, and dealing with last minute changes without issue. Even though the day was a blur (of course!), I felt like I could actually relax and not think about any details because everyone at Riverside had the whole thing under control. A dream setting to get married in and I can't recommend it highly enough! I only wish I could go back and repeat the day!

    In a word, "AMAZING"!!!! Riverside Farm and their wonderful, attentive staff could not have done more to make my son and his beautiful bride's wedding MAGICAL!!! From the time we walked onto the property to the time we left (4 days), everything was flawless! The food was incredible, the barns were gorgeous, the bridal suite, groomsmen cabin, and the stables were just perfect! If you are looking to have the most memorable wedding, not just as the bride and groom but also your guests, Riverside Farm is the place for you! FANTASTIC!!!! The Green Mountains are the place to be!!!

    The team at Riverside was fantastic to work with. They responded almost immediately when I had a question and provided recommendations when needed based on prior experience; which was invaluable as I found there was usually too much information to sort through when simply looking online. The best part was showing up the day before the wedding, handing everything off, and knowing that the team would handle the rest based on the plan we had laid out together. Having piece of mind that everything was taken care of really allowed me to just relax and enjoy the celebration. The venue was gorgeous, the team was on point and we could not have asked for a better place for our special day/weekend.

    Riverside Farm was a dream venue for our wedding! We envisioned a unique, outdoorsy New England setting and fell in love with Riverside Farm in the sleepy town of Pittsfield, VT. Sophie and the rest of the Riverside Farm team members were extremely responsive and helped us with our millions of questions and concerns. All of our guests were blown away by the beauty of the property and we can't wait to visit the area again!

    We recently had our wedding at Riverside Farm, and it was the best decision we could have made. They are extremely skilled and professional, and have a long list of vendors that are of the same quality, which makes planning easy. The great part is that they welcome and encourage new and fun ideas and truly do want couples to create the wedding of their dreams. Sometimes venues, while beautiful, can feel like they have the same wedding over and over again by design-- this is not the case at Riverside. Our wedding felt special and unique, and we felt like the staff was excited to be a part of our celebrations. It was magical, not only for us, but for everyone in attendance.

    Riverside Farm is a dream venue. It is the definition of rustic elegance. We had our entire weekend of events at Riverside Farm (other than our ceremony that we had at Church) We had our Welcome Dinner, Wedding Reception and Farewell Brunch and it was a dream come true. Guests were commenting all weekend that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Our hair and make up team said it was the best set up they had for getting ready. The grounds are immaculate and kept up to perfection. The barns are BEAUTIFULLY restored and provide the most beautiful combination of elegance but with a warming charm that guests feel right at home. We loved everything about this venue from the beauty of the farm and mountain side, to the barns that provided our guests with a weekend we will all always remember. Sophie and the Riverside team did everything possible to ensure the weekend went seamlessly and was involved through out the entire wedding planning process. We absolutely loved Riverside Farm and feel so lucky to have found this venue to get married. It is such a special place and the venue provides the platform to really have a once in a lifetime Wedding that every Bride and Groom dreams of. Two things to keep in mind, if you get married in the fall, make sure IF you have cocktail hour under the tent, you ask for extra heaters as it was very cold. Also ask for extra parking attendants for parking at the venue because it gets dark early and it is quite a hike from the barn to the parking lot…..extra parking attendants and extra lighting would be very helpful.

    My husband and I knew it was the place we wanted to get married the second we pulled up to the stunning view of the barns and fields surrounded by mountains, but it wasn't until we started the wedding planning that we realized how amazing the staff is at Riverside. Our wedding coordinator Sophie was invaluable - quick to respond to every email, on top of every little detail, and had a solution for everything (you can literally ask for anything and she will find a way to make it work). I visited a lot of venues prior to Riverside and found that a lot of them have a specific formula that doesn't feel very special or unique. Riverside has the perfect, rare mix where they coordinate every last detail of the event with experience yet allow you to do anything you can dream up. It was so much fun to have our bridal party stay on site with us in the rustic chic accommodations. We couldn't be happier with the weekend and it was truly and incredible experience!

    Our son and daughter in law were married at Riverside Farm in September and Sophie and the Riverside Farm team were wonderful! The venue is beautiful and all plans were executed flawlessly, professionally and beautifully throughout the entire weekend. All in attendance were very impressed and we have got terrific feedback about Riverside Farm, Sophie's leadership and coordination skills and also for the wonderful catering of the event by Kevin and Katie of Vermont Farms Catering. We absolutely would recommend Riverside Farm as a wedding / event venue. Thank you Sophie and team! Tony & Janice DiBona

    Our experience working with the Riverside wedding team was amazing. From the second we contacted the farm to plan the wedding we received exceptional service. Not only did Riverside help us select the vendors but they also played a critical role in managing the other vendors throughout the wedding planning process - which was tremendously helpful since we planned the wedding from 3000 miles away. We planned all events at Riverside from the rehearsal dinner, wedding and Sunday brunch and all were exceptionally well managed. The Riverside team helped us put together the perfect wedding day. I would recommend the venue and the team without exception. I promise you will not be disappointed.

    Our Riverside Farm wedding was simply amazing. We could not imagine a better wedding - and many of our guests also said it was the best wedding they'd ever attended. This was in no small part thanks to the one-of-a-kind setting and the incredible behind-the-scenes team from Riverside.

    As soon as we found Riverside, we knew we had to get married there. It is beautiful, simple, rustic, elegant - quintessential New England tucked away in the mountains of VT. We had our rehearsal dinner, welcome party, ceremony and reception all at the farm, making use of all the different gathering spots (two barns, a cellar, a huge lawn) for each event - it was great to have everything in one place. The bridal party was also able to stay and get ready on-site, which was wonderful. The tiny town of Pittsfield is also adorable - guests loved the quaint Amee Farm Lodge, the outdoor activity options and the friendly service at the adorable Pittsfield General Store. Some are already planning to go back!

    The wedding coordination team at Riverside was also exceptional. Liz, Jen, LeeAnn and Pauline were all so friendly, helpful and responsive throughout the 10 months of planning (and even after!). They recommended vendors, coordinated guest lodging, met me for multiple visits to the Farm, gave advice, and most importantly, made sure we and our guests had everything we needed and that everything came together perfectly the weekend of the wedding.

    Riverside Farm was not cheap, but it was definitely worth every penny - I could not be any happier with how it all turned out! Highly highly recommend!

    From the moment we stepped on to Riverside Farm we fell immediately in love with it. From the gorgeous property to the beautiful backdrop of the Vermont Green Mountains, you couldn't ask for a more perfect venue for a wedding. Add to that the incredibly warm, professional women who provided the most wonderful service & support during a time that can be terribly nerve-racking for a bride -- let alone an out-of-town bride! Jen, Liz & Pauline were extremely gracious and the perfect representatives for Riverside Farm. They literally got inside my head and were able to create EXACTLY the wedding that I had hoped for & dreamed of. Every single tiny detail was perfect. I highly recommend any bride to pick Riverside Farm for their dream wedding.

    The setting at Riverside Farm and Amee Farm is exactly what we wanted, and the outcome was perfect. The staff were endlessly responsive and helpful from our fist visit to them a year ahead of the wedding right through the week following the event when we were looking for lost "stuff." Everyone cooperated and collaborated, and we were free to enjoy ourselves which we certainly did. If you are looking for a rural wedding, and you want it to have real class, go to Riverside/Amee. EVERYONE said it was the "best wedding ever."

    For anyone planning anything from a weekend get-away to a wedding & reception, the staff at Riverside Farm & Amee Farm Lodge (Liz, Jen, Simon, Jessica, Marion, et al) are absolutely wonderful, and the grounds and accommodations truly unique and beautiful! I can't say enough about how they bent over backwards to make our late night arrival, our tour during the planning stages, and our stay something we will never forget. The flexibility, dedication, knowledge, and true care for our wants, our needs, and our budget displayed by the staff at RF&AFL goes above and beyond on every level! And it was so effortless; they really made it look easy. We will most definitely be back!

    Tucked in the mountains of beautiful Vermont, Riverside Farm is truly a special place. What is unique about the venue is the amazing structures they built such as the Bridal Cottage, Grooms Cabin, The Stonewell Barn and the White Horse Barn. The carpentry on all the structures are fantastic, plus the incorporation of antiques from around the world make every cottage and barn unique.

    Liz and her team were fantastic! They always kept me at ease and helped with everything from picking the right vendors for us to working out the no so traditional wedding we had. Liz and her team also helped with details such as lawn games for the day and a fire pit for the rehearsal dinner. Every detail made our wedding weekend that much more special.

    My husband and I did not want to leave. We all became fast friends and will most certainly be back for our anniversaries and to visit everyone when we come to Vermont to get away form the big city.

    I cannot recommend Riverside Farm enough. Our experience was incredible. Courtney and Liz were the perfect wedding coordinators: kind, responsible, easy going, fun, and knowledgable. The venue is stunning and our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was. Everyone was treated so well and with such care. Also, every vendor they recommended to us was exceptional. From the food to the flowers to the band, we felt like they listened to us and recommended the perfect people to take care of our wedding.

    A stunning setting and excellent accommodations.
    If you dont want a "wedding factory vibe" this is the perfect answer.
    It feels like being on your own private farm.

    This place epitomizes "relaxed elegance." And the NY Times describes the farm as "Rustic meets luxury." - which is accurate.

    What is so easy about planning a wedding here is that you are connected to all the vendors. Flowers, make-up, lighting, food, etc. We are based in NY, so this made our planning very easy. Also - Liz and Courtney are amazing as is the whole staff at Riverside and Amee Farm.

    In addition to having the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception, we added a few activities for the guests, including a bikram yoga class, a morning hike on the day of the wedding, a tour of the farm animals for the kids, and an after party bonfire with smores....all these extras made it a more intimate and relaxing weekend for our guests. I cant wait to go back!

    My husband and I could not have imagined a more amazing place to host our dream wedding weekend in Vermont. Riverside Farm was the absolute perfect venue for our Clambake Rehearsal Dinner, Wedding Ceremony and Reception, and Brunch in September. From the moment we stepped on the gorgeous property and saw all that it had to offer us and our guests, the decision was made (the stunning barns, the charming character, and the mountain scenery). Liz and Courtney at Riverside made the whole weekend run incredibly smoothly and were a total pleasure to work with through the entire planning process. We felt SO lucky to have their positive energy and professionalism surrounding us. They had great recommendations for other vendors nearby that did a wonderful job as well. If you are looking to have your dream wedding in Vermont, look no further. It was the first and only venue that we had to visit. All of our guests raved about how amazing the weekend was and how blown away they were by the beauty of Riverside Farm and Pittsfield Vermont. Riverside also owns the stunning Amee Farm Inn which is just up the street and the perfect place for guests accomodations (not to mention the cottages and stables right on the property which our wedding party LOVED). We can't wait to get back up to visit because it will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

    We had a wonderful, magical wedding at Riverside Farm. The place is beautiful and setting perfect if you are looking for a country wedding with luxurious amenities. For me, the nicest part was being able to keep every event in one place (rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and Sunday brunch were all on site). I and my wedding party stayed both nights in rooms on the farm. We all loved the rustic charm and comfort! Every one of my guests commented on how beautiful the wedding and the location were. In fact, several said it was their favorite wedding they'd ever ben to! Liz and the other people who worked there were helpful, warm, and very professional. Everyone they put us in contact with (the caterer, the flower lady, etc.) was equally impressive. Afterwards, my husband and I said that we wished we could get married there again.

    The staff at Riverside Farm made our day perfect. Every step of the process was easy and effortless. We always felt like we were their top priority. Their advice and experience was very helpful and appreciated.

    Liz and Courtney from Riverside Farms connected us with many of our vendors. That really took a lot of the stress off our shoulders. They were flexible. We made changes right up till the week of our reception. The vendors they connected us were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would enthusiastically recommend Riverside Farms for the beauty of the site and the service and professionalism of everyone there. We had a perfectly beautiful, modern Vermont autumn wedding.

    I had the most amazing experience with Riverside Farm. I worked with them for 15 months prior to my wedding there and everything went so smoothly. I lived 10 hours away so it was difficult to do any of my planning in-person. I did everything over email and phone and Riverside Farm helped me with every detail. Liz is responsive and assisted me with recommendations in the area. They have a wonderful network in the Pittsfield area and I trusted everyone I hired because they had already worked with Riverside. The planning was simple and unstressful and it was all because of Liz and Courtney. When the wedding arrived, everything was exactly what we had expected and imagined. Liz and Courtney were there with me throughout the weekend and helped with every detail. I honestly can't think of anything that didn't work out or fell through the cracks. I never worried once and I had the most relaxing, wonderful wedding. I would recommend Riverside Farm for anyone that wants an outdoorsy Vermont wedding with amazing scenery and a beautiful piece of property to enjoy.

    We had an absolutely wonderful time working with Riverside Farm for our wedding. Sophie played an integral role in our planning process and the entire staff was extremely helpful throughout the entire wedding weekend -- from the rehearsal to the reception and welcome party, to all of the details on the day-of, the Riverside team were *great* partners. We and our families were beyond thrilled and wish we could do it all over again!

    My wedding at Riverside Farm was everything I hoped it would be. Yes, we spent more than we would have liked to, but when it comes down to it, my husband and family agree with me that it was 100% worth it.
    Here are the negatives:
    1. Very expensive--you end up paying a lot for all of the onsite lodging, Amee Farm lodging, room taxes, service charges, etc (however, I did some calculations and compared to a similarly nice venue near NYC, we still spent significantly less). Ask for high and low end estimates for your number of guests before you book--we did this and their high end estimate ended up being very close to what we spent.
    2. 4.5 hours from NYC and 2.5 hours from Boston airport, so not very easy to get to. As far as destination wedding locations go, this is still not terrible.

    Here are the positives:
    1. Incomparably beautiful, with the perfect amount of rustic charm; never kitschy or over-the-top, totally classic.
    2. Excellent coordinators who are very responsive and ensure you have nothing to worry about over the weekend.
    3. Amazing caterers--NYC-quality food and drinks at reasonable prices, totally customizable menu and bar options.
    4. Selection of great vendors who have all worked many times at Riverside and are very familiar with the site (Trish at Pittsfield Garden Center, Sabin Gratz Photography, Dexter Lake Club Band, and Five Elements Salon were standouts).

    Bottom line, I wouldn't hesitate to choose Riverside again. It's a spectacular venue, rain or shine, with coordinators and vendors who will take very good care of you and minimize planning stress. My weekend (Oct 1) was perfect in my mind, but I think if you want to be guaranteed great fall colors, I would pick a weekend or two later (we had some good pops of color but it wasn't peak, and same goes for the year before us). Can't stop thinking about the weekend and looking at pictures--it was a dream come true. Thanks, Riverside!!

    The Most Beautiful Venue in Vermont with Unforgettable Food

    We toured nearly 10 venues around the state before choosing this one, and the moment we saw it, we knew nothing else compared. It is hands down the most beautiful venue we came across — the setting, the atmosphere, the overall experience — it just felt special. Even now, our guests still rave about the location and especially the FOOD.

    I want to be transparent about budget because I think that’s important for couples planning their big day. We did end up going over our original budget. Some of the lodging options didn’t work out for several of our guests the way we had hoped, and we ended up absorbing some of those costs. My advice would be to really dig into lodging logistics ahead of time and make sure everything aligns with your guest list and expectations.

    That said — I would not trade the experience we had for anything. The vendor team was incredible. Every single professional we worked with was warm, responsive, and genuinely invested in making the weekend seamless and special. Their attitude, organization, and overall vibe made the entire process feel joyful rather than stressful.

    And the food. I cannot say enough about Vermont Farms Catering — they are the absolute BEST. If you are a foodie, you will not be disappointed. Our guests are still talking about it. The quality, presentation, and flavor were exceptional and truly elevated the entire celebration.

    If you’re looking for a stunning Vermont setting with top-tier food and an incredible team behind it, this is it. 🤍

    Amazing venue and team so make your dream come to life

    Riverside Farm is absolutely gorgeous and a spectacular venue for a wedding weekend. The property is expansive and has different event spaces which allows for multiple options to really plan the wedding that is specific to your vision. I planned the weekend by myself so definitely leaned on Kaycee a lot! She was always so responsive and was the most helpful, patient and supportive person throughout the entire planning process. During the actual weekend, I didn't stress about anything knowing everything was taken care of by the entire Riverside Farm team, especially Kaycee. It was a magical weekend and I am so happy to have chosen Riverside for our venue!

    Dream weekend

    We got married at Riverside in August and can't say enough about the venue, Alli and all of the vendors involved. The Riverside team ran the entire weekend with flawless execution, which truly enabled my husband and I to enjoy the weekend without worrying about a thing. Alli and the preferred vendors guided us along the entire journey, providing recommendations while also letting us make the event our own. There was nothing that couldn't be done - I was even able to bring my horse for our first look! The wedding was truly everything I have ever dreamed of, complete with the gorgeous Bridal Suite and Grooms Cabin, a really fun space for the wedding party to stay onsite and the most beautiful bed and breakfast down the street for all of our family and close friends. The venue is also a photographers dream and the opportunities for photo ops are endless. Lastly, Pittsfield is such a charming New England town and you really have the sense that you own the place for the weekend. The General Store (also home to Vermont Farms catering which is some of the best food we have ever had - and we lived in NYC!) has anything your guests may need and Clear River Tavern provides amazing accommodations for guests as well as a perfect after party. I can't think of a more magical place to get married. I wish we could do it again!

    I can't say enough about Riverside - I really feel like this place went above and beyond. No other venue in Vermont can compare to the location, the beauty of the grounds and the attentive staff. Our wedding was incredible, many thanks to Riverside staff who were there throughout the entire process, and who really made the entire weekend seamless. Sophie, the coordinator I worked with from day one was fantastic in helping to keep me organized and in responding quickly to help answer any and all questions, or to give me advice when needed. Her calm demeanor is invaluable to a bride. She gained my trust completely and by the day of the wedding I had nothing to worry about because I knew she would handle anything that came up. Riverside as a site is simply stunning - having grown up in Vermont, I wanted to share the beauty of my home with my new New York in-laws and extended family, and Riverside provided that perfect backdrop. The restored barns have been beautifully finished and our bridal party loved staying in the lodging throughout the property. Overall, it was just an unbelievable experience, a dream wedding, and one that friends and family are still talking about. Worth every penny.

    Could not have wished for a more perfect wedding. The ceremony and reception were gorgeous, the vendors were accomodating and attentative on the day of the wedding. Everything ran so smoothly!! My husband and I felt no stress and were very well taken care of. If I had to do it all again, I would not change a thing. I give riverside farm my highest regards.

    From each uniquely (and beautifully!!!) decorated bedroom, to the sprawling wraparound porch, to woodland staircases - I'm in love with Amee Farm Lodge and am excited to get married there. The attention to detail everywhere in the building is quaint and rustic, but somehow also modern. (This isn't your grandma's wood paneling!)

    Sophie the wedding coordinator has been very flexible not just on scheduling meeting times, but also on what we're allowed to do and decorate in the space. (We're bringing our own art to hang on the walls, for example.)

    My *one* complaint was that on our last visit, we'd driven (over 3 hours) specifically with the plan of seeing the inside of the barn across the street, and when we got there, the barn was locked and we couldn't get in. Thankfully there was plenty else to discuss and plan with Sophie, but I was a little bummed.

    Otherwise, everything is beautiful and there's so much customizable space. Perfect for our small wedding!

    magical venue

    Riverside Farm is a dream come to life. If you want a gorgeous fairytale weekend venue that will blow your guests away, this is the place. The beauty is unparalleled as this is the most gorgeous rustic farm venue in all of VT and upstate NY (trust me - we looked!!). The pricetag may seem daunting at first, but consider you are getting THREE days of amazing views, THE MOST AMAZING FOOD, a wedding coordinator (who absolutely priceless) AND you are the only ones there!! The venue itself is breathtaking with its beautifully restored barns and flawlessly maintained properties. Everyone there was incredibly hard working and POLITE, so much so that our guests even commented on how nice their servers were. One regret of the night is the strict 10 oclock curfew. I would have loved at least another hour, maybe two. Also the suggested after-party spot was more of a dive bar / shady restaurant that was just not appropriate for that kind of venue, so we decided not to use it. I also did not like being forced to provide transportation for guests the entire night, and feel that portion was way overpriced. Despite those things, there were definitely more pros than cons and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!!!!

    I had an excellent experience with Riverside Farm. Aside from being generally lovely people, Liz and Courtney really help make the wedding experience carefree, and are also sources of good ideas. They really fine tune the coordination of all the wedding vendors who come together on the big day, when the bride simply cannot be bothered. For example, our planned outside ceremony was touch and go until the last minute, and Liz and Courtney and their staff waited patiently for the "weather call," ready to set up chairs, etc. inside or out. Also, when we were late to set up the sound system for the rehearsal dinner, they impromptu plugged in some classical music on a Bose to bridge the gap. Needless to say, they were very accommodating to our needs and wants.

    As it relates to value, I consider that word synonymous to "economical." Though I would not necessarily describe the costs at Riverside Farm economical (they were the most expensive of all the venues we researched), I will say you get what you pay for -first class, professional service. It is quite possible that you have a wedding day that goes without a hitch, but if one or more "hitches" arise, that extra cost is well worth the money. After all, who really wants to bargain on their wedding day?

    Best wishes to all you brides-to-be!

    Riverside is fantastic - we were married there in Aug 2010 and had the most amazing wedding weekend. The team is ultra professional, has fantastic taste and works with top vendors. The setting is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen and makes for amazing pictures. It's one of the more expensive venues we looked at, but it's worth the investment. Riverside is great about laying out all the costs up front and there won't be any surprises. In terms of flexibility, the county has stringent noise restrictions that limit how late you can go on the actual property, but you can easily move it to a bar for an after party (which we did and loved).
