From the moment we first inquired about hosting our wedding at The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station, the staff was detailed, timely, and incredibly friendly in all of their communication. The venue itself is elegant, spacious, and provides an intimate setting for a special occasion. The attentive staff went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly, and they were flexible in accommodating our needs. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at The Riverhouse and would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for the perfect place to celebrate their big day.
Absolutely perfect!

I first found the Riverhouse searching on Zola. My husband and I spoke with Holly for our initial appointment. Holly had light music playing over the speakers when we arrived, and when I walked into the ballroom and onto the dance floor, I looked at my now husband and said, “This is it, I hope they have a date in 2025 available”. The planning process with Kelley and the team was wonderful! The worksheets that are provided make planning easy and outline all the tasks clearly. We attended their vendor show which helped us determine exactly what we were looking for in our vendors to design our perfect wedding day. Our detail meeting about a month before our wedding day was smooth and we easily made all our banquet choices. A week before our wedding, we met with Holly to ensure our day of timeline was exactly how we wanted it – she totally nailed it day of! We have been to many weddings, and we believed that food was one of the most important parts of our day. We were blown away by the quality (and quantity!) of food at the Riverhouse. At our tasting, my husband and I ranked the appetizer, salad and dinner choices. The rankings were so high, we had trouble narrowing it down! It’s been about 3 weeks, and our guests are still complementing our food and saying how beautiful the venue was. The mac and cheese bar has been a HUGE hit with our guests. On our wedding day, Holly and Loretta kept everything smooth and seamless and both ladies provided a calming atmosphere when things started to feel chaotic (shout out to Loretta for grabbing me tums!). It truly seemed as if all the staff at the Riverhouse enjoyed our wedding event as much as our guests did! The food service was outstanding and went right along with our timeline, our bartenders were flawless, and we totally spied a little bit of dancing going on to our music and we were absolutely overjoyed! We would like to thank everyone at the Riverhouse for making our day amazing! We hope to see you all again sometime soon!

We will be singing Riverhouse praises to all who will listen! We are so beyond happy with how our day went and cannot believe how smooth it was! A gorgeous fall day with the leaves and the river in the background made the onsite photos gorgeous. Just a short drive away, we were able to have our first look at Gillette Castle which was breathtaking. The staff on the day were incredible and went out of their way at every step. Our attendant, made sure we always had fresh drinks, even if we had only taken a sip. She was always ready to help, while still giving us privacy to enjoy our reception. The Banquet manager was nothing but professional and experienced. He executed each element, making us feel in the know and involved, but not responsible for the follow through. We feel so blessed to have had such an easy planning process, especially given we only planned for 7 months! The Riverhouse team helped make this possible and give us a dream wedding.

The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! From the very beginning, the team was incredibly hands-on, calling and emailing us regularly to ensure every detail was taken care of. On the day of, everything was flawlessly executed - my guests were blown away by how beautiful and elegant the space looked. I will forever recommend The Riverhouse to everyone I know, as the entire staff, especially Robert, made our wedding day the easiest and most stress-free experience. They truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect. I cannot thank them enough!
