Steeped in history and located in Rumford, RI, the Agawam Hunt has been hosting outstanding weddings and events for members and their guests for more than 125 years. This country club is an oasis of timeless charm just across the bridge from the bright lights of Providence.
Agawam Hunt can accommodate both ceremonies and receptions of various sizes. Whether you are thinking of an intimate gathering of a handful of your loved ones, or up to 300 of your close family and friends, its team will make sure you celebrate your day the way you always envisioned. The wedding venue at Agawam is an elegant and welcoming 130-acre, wooded, river-side property that has everything from intimate dining rooms to outdoor terraces overlooking manicured lawns. You and your partner will have to choose, depending on the weather, whether you want to exchange your vows under the bright blue skies before taking your reception indoors. Alternatively, you can celebrate the entire day outside and watch the sun set as you and your guests dance the evening away.
The menu at Agawam Hunt is derived from local vendors purveying sustainably sourced products with a focus on quality. You can arrange a meeting with the culinary team to discuss your dishes and to personalize your reception menu. Its kitchen staff will take heed of all allergies and dietary concerns before they begin cooking. Agawam's experienced, professional, and thoughtful event staff will ensure that no event detail is overlooked and that your wedding day will be one to remember for both you and your nearest and dearest.

We found Agawam just a couple months before our wedding date, because our original venue cancelled on us. They were happy to help us out in a difficult time and accommodate our spe...
d-up schedule for site visits and tastings. The space is just beautiful, with a relaxed and homey vibe even though it also feels classy and looks gorgeous in photos. Communication was not always the best, as our point-person left part-way through the process and the team wasn't great at responding to email, but in the end everything worked out really well. The staff was professional and extremely helpful, and the scale of the space just adds for all these extra perks: photo shoot in the golf course, big lawn for the ceremony, fire pits with marshmallows at night, two large indoor spaces for dinner and dancing, gorgeous bridal suite upstairs and multiple bathrooms. The food was incredible, from the raw bar and passed apps to the main courses and wine pairings. The on-site coordinator helped with ceremony timing and even brought me gatorade when I was feeling dehydrated. Overall, just a fabulous experience and a beautiful space for a wedding.

When we first visited Agawam Hunt as an option for our wedding reception, I actually cried on our way out because I knew it was the right place! It is an absolutely stunning venue ...
and the staff is great! Although we had a last minute change in our wedding coordinator, Dorinda and Cara really stepped up and made sure that everything would be exactly the way we wanted it! All of our guests had a wonderful time and truly felt at home because of the cozy atmosphere that Agawam has to offer!

Since booking Agawam over a year ago they have been great to work with. From the start, they knew we were on a budget and helped us to stay within our means, but still have an amaz...
ing wedding. We were their first Same-Sex Wedding and they were very excited to make sure we had a great experience.
We also had an added difficulty of planning a wedding from across the country. (We live in Washington State, and we choice to have the wedding in RI since it's easier for family). They made this process as easy as possible for us.
Communication was great, though it was sometimes difficult to get a hold of them, but it was when they were busy with other weddings, so it was to be expected.
The venue is an absolutely beautiful country club with 19th-century charm. It really made our wedding picturesque. The staff is very attentive and the facilities are not only convenient but are beautiful in and of themselves.
The only major problem was that for a time, they kept going through wedding coordinators. This is something I considered knocking a star of the review for, but once we got Jennifer as the wedding planner she more than made up for it. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She really took on the tasks at hand and did everything she could to make our special day amazing.
Overall Agawam was a great choice for our wedding and my husband and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Definitely recommend, tell Jennifer Jayce and Ryan say hi!

Don and I would like to extend our gratitude to Agawam Hunt staff for our beautiful wedding on May 28, 2016. Don and I fell in love with the venue the moment we toured it. The old ...
character and charm of the building, the outdoor terrace, lawn games and firepit were exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. We knew immediately, we would be getting married there, we didn’t know however, that we’d also be working with some extraordinary people. First off, Jennifer Croce, you are amazing! Although we only met a month before the wedding, you were absolutely wonderful to work with! Thank you for keeping me organized, for seeing our vision, and for being a bride’s best friend! I only wish I had met you sooner. Don and I would like to give a special thank you to Gray for always being there throughout the entire planning process and for being so incredibly helpful on the wedding day. Thank you to Adrian, Kasey, and the rest of the serving staff for being so helpful, for your creativity in decorating the venue, and above all your excellent service. I even had other vendors complimenting your impeccable service! To the kitchen staff and Chef, the food was delicious and the portions were generous! So many guests complimented the food! A 5 star meal!! We truly can not thank you all enough for a beyond perfect day! It was such a pleasure meeting and working with you all! Thank you so much!! Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Swift
