5 stars is not enough. Our wedding was without a doubt the most perfect event we could have ever wished for. From the beginning planning stages, Hattie, Lauren, Kelley, everyone was so incredibly responsive, helpful and answered a million questions from myself or my mom. They worked with us to ensure everything was perfect, and we could not have had a more elegant wedding without the help of the entire venue staff. From day of Rob and everyone who assisted made sure things ran so smoothly. One of our busses was delayed due to traffic (Memorial Day Weekend- no surprise there) & even with the minor inconvenience the staff made sure that things ran so smoothly that myself (the bride) and my guests really had no clue things were pushed back a tiny bit. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable. We had our cocktail hour both inside & outside and adding a second bar was ideal. We added a sushi bar, and my guests are still talking about how delicious it was. They accommodated all of our requests with ease, and I wish I could relive the day and night over and over again. All of my vendors informed me during the planning process just how professional and wonderful the venue is, and it could not be more true. They all worked seamlessly with Riverhouse. Our personal attendants were wonderful, ensuring myself and my husband had the best day and night of our lives. Most venues do not offer suites for grooms, and I am so happy that the men were able to have their own place to relax and hangout. our bridal suite was prepared perfectly for us with champagne snacks and everything we needed. Quality service is hard to come by these days, but every single staff member working at our wedding went above and beyond to make sure my husband, myself and my guests had an incredible night. My guests are still raving weeks later about the wedding. I could not recommend this venue and the entire staff enough, get married here!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most perfect wedding!!! ️️️

The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning, the staff was detailed, prompt, direct, and incredibly helpful in ensuring our special day went off without a hitch. The Riverhouse provided a spacious, elegant, and classic ballroom for our reception, and the outdoor space was ideal for our wedding ceremony. The entryway and lobby were great for hosting cocktail hour. The staff always provided us with such great reassurance, and any question or request we had was handled quickly and perfectly. Riverhouse is truly the perfect "ballroom" feel we were looking for, and we cannot recommend them enough.

We got married at The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station on 9/21/24 and it was by far the best day ever all thanks to the Riverhouse. The Riverhouse is a gorgeous venue with the most stunning ballroom and patio for the ceremony. Not only is the venue spectacular, but the staff is even better. From our first tour with Hattie, we knew immediately this was the venue for us. Throughout the whole planning process, Kelley, Lauren, and Hattie made everything so smooth and we always felt like we were in such good hands. The night of our wedding, Rob and Loretta made the night flow effortlessley and constantly were checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The staff truly goes above and beyond for their couples. We also received sooooo many amazing reviews on the food and service as well. From cocktail hour, to dinner service, to bar service, everything was presented and tasted amazing. Overall, so incredibly happy with our choice to have our wedding at The Riverhouse. I cannot imagine having had it anywhere else. I could not recommend this venus enough!!!! Thank you to everyone for the best night ever!!!

My husband and I got married at the Riverhouse in June 2024, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience! The staff handled everything so well, and we hardly had to worry about anything on our wedding day. Cannot recommend the Riverhouse enough!
