  • Riverhouse Wedding June 2024

    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!

    I had a truly amazing wedding experience at the Riverhouse! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding venue. The staff was so accommodating and wonderful to work with. We had a day of coordinator and a wedding attendant and they were attentive to all our needs on wedding day. The flow of the day was seamless, food was out on time. There were never long lines at the bar. Guests were very happy, I received nothing but positive reviews about the venue and the food from my guests. The cake was included in the package and was amazing. The river house wedding package is hard to beat!
