My husband and I cannot stop talking about how perfect our wedding day was. The staff at the Riverview are amazing!!! They went above and beyond to make sure we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our guests also could not say enough about how delicious the food was and how the drinks kept flowing all night long. Chelsea was our wedding coordinator and she took care of everything and stayed in constant communication with us throughout the whole process. We are so beyond grateful for the Riverview and highly recommend this venue. You will not regret it!

The team was a dream to work with, very responsive throughout planning and attentive to all our needs and vision. Our day-of-coordinator was a rockstar, making us feel like royalty.

Oakholm Farm Estate 

5.0

Brookfield, MA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $7,250

Welcome to Oakholm Farm! Discover our rustic-glam, charming location, and rich history. We value connection with our customers and hope to be a reliable friend during this special time. Weddings at the farm can be casual, spiritually inspired, or elaborate with elegance. Imagine exchanging hand written wedding vows under a rustic solid pine arbor, with a beautiful backdrop of the peaceful Lake Quaboag, surrounded by the beauty of the farm with your closest friends and family. Maybe you imagine your wedding party goers enjoying a late campfire, dance party, a lingering after party under a sky full of stars or in the estate game room.

We loved Oakholm for our simple all-outdoor summer wedding. From the lakeside arbor ceremony site to the tent and patio, we and our guests loved the naturally gorgeous surroundings and private atmosphere. The mansion was perfect for the whole bridal party to get ready in, and the venue's staff were always professional, communicative, and helpful. Having the venue provide the bar service was one less additional vendor we had to deal with, which was also great. It was the perfect place for us to get married and dance the night away!

Mapleville, RI
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Crystal Lake Golf Club is an 18 hole Golf Course built on the shores of Beautiful Crystal Lake in Mapleville, RI. We have a full Club House with Pro Shop, Restaraunt, Function Room, Locker Rooms and Member's Lounge. The 23,000 sq. foot clubhouse opened a year later in May of 2004 consisting of the scenic Waterfront Room with a seating capacity of 225 and Tavern with accommodations of 100 people for lunch and dinner everyday during the golf season.

Our wedding was scheduled for 06/05/20. Unfortunately with the pandemic and state restrictions we were only allowed 15 people. As other couples, we postponed our wedding to 11.22.20 with hopes we could have more guests share our special day. We did end up getting married at crystal lake in June with our closest family and friends and enjoyed dinner on the back patio from the Tavern. Tracy and her staff were so accommodating to this quick and sudden request. We went through with our November wedding with 50 guests. The grounds, staff, and food were nothing short of amazing. Tracy and her team went above and beyond with all the extra precautions and making sure everyone felt comfortable and had what they needed. The waterfront room is absolutely stunning. The food, omg, the food is so delicious. We had the best time and everyone raved about how beautiful and great it was. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone. Whether it be to play a round of golf, eat lunch in the tavern, or host a private event. Tracy and her team is nothing short of amazing and we are so pleased we chose Crystal Lake!
