We just had our wedding two weeks ago at Great River Golf Club and all we can say is that it stunning. From the first time we met Gail just after we got engaged, she was so welcoming, never pushed GR on us and gave us time to make our decision,...
and it was pretty easy with that scenery! Throughout the wedding planning process, even with the pandemic, Gail always kept us in the loop and on schedule, she gave us the option to reschedule but support us to continue moving forward and introduced us to Erin. Erin was always attentive with emails, responding to simple questions we had, and made sure we had a great time and to EAT on our wedding night. Chelsea another team member was awesome and took some amazing pictures of our decor and set up as so many brides take so much time planning the intimate details. During our meal tasting, Chef Matt came out to introduce himself, learned about us as a couple and made special touches to bring our Irish heritage out. Several of our guest said “they wanted a straw for the Guinness Demi sauce to suck it up, it was that good” that was served with the steak. Everyone of the guests that we have spoken with have raved about the food, and the amazing service of the staff, especially during cocktail hour. It was truly an unbelievable day and as a bride and groom we never worried once about our guests and if they would be taken care of. If we had to redo it all over again, we would always choose Great River!

ly before our wedding, the numbers of guests had to be lowered per state restrictions. The team at GR came up with innovative and creative ways so we could still have a wedding that are our guests could safely enjoy. The team also worked so incredibly hard to decorate the entire venue for Christmas in ONE AND HALF short days. It was absolutely stunning. Our guests still rave about the venue, the decor, the food, and just the overall atmosphere. We loved doing our first look photographs at various locations on the gorgeous grounds including the amazing waterfall that was still running at the end of November. We were extremely lucky to have a gorgeous weather day. Thank you EVERYONE for providing Kevin and I with a wedding during a global pandemic that was safe and fun for everyone in attendance including your own dedicated staff members.

My husband and I got married here on 10/30/2020 in the middle of a pandemic... with temperatures lower than they had been...it rained, it snowed ... anything you could think of. But the amazing and wonderful people at Great River made it the ...
most memorable day of our lives. To start, we booked Great River before the pandemic, and when things started to get bad, we wondered what we would do about the wedding. Luckily, when things started to change and look up here in Connecticut, Great River told us that they would be getting a tent to continue to safely host weddings and other events. We were so excited that our wedding was still on! They worked with us from start to finish on food tasting, cake tasting, rehearsal dinner planning and were so helpful, especially during this time of uncertainty. Of course, as I mentioned, the day before the wedding, heavy rains caused the tent to flood, but again the people at Great River worked with us to safely move everything into the ballroom. Every guest had their temperatures checked upon entry to ensure peace of mind as well as to keep everyone healthy and safe. A week has passed since the wedding and everyone is still talking about it, still sending each other pictures and still reminiscing about the wonderful moments we all shared together. Not to mention the AMAZING food. Everyone can't stop raving about how good the food was! If you want to have a memorable, relaxed, fun and overall wonderful wedding experience I cannot recommend Great River Golf Club enough!!

We could not be more happy that we chose Great River Golf Club for our September 2020 Wedding. We knew within the first minutes of our initial tour that not only was GRGC a beautiful and perfect wedding location, but that Gail, Erin and all of ...
the GRGC staff were friendly and dedicated. We booked GRGC in the fall of 2019, pre-covid. Once covid hit, as many 2020 couple felt, we were overwhelmed and nervous. However, Gail & Erin worked closely with us from March to our wedding date to make sure we always knew the latest guidelines, felt comfortable and were able to make needed accommodations. Our plans for the day changed many times, and throughout the process, the GRGC team was there to support us and make our vision a reality. A great example is a month before our wedding our photographer backed out, Gail recommended alternatives for us, and we booked a new photographer within days. We already have our photos and love them! Another example is 2 weeks before our wedding, we had to cancel our rehearsal dinner location due to covid restrictions. GRGC was able to host our rehearsal dinner with a private room and custom menu! With all of the last minute changes & covid restrictions, we are so grateful to say that on September 12, 2020 we had our perfect wedding, on our original date and it was even more beautiful and perfect then we ever could have imagined. The food was terrific (thank you Chef Matt & team), the requested drinks were available and delicious (Thank you Dan & team), the grounds were beautiful and more importantly our family and friends felt safe and welcome. Thank you to the whole GRGC team for making our day perfect. We recommend GRGC to couples looking for a beautiful location with a dedicated team that will support them and make their special day custom and perfect!

eamless and worry free. Gail answered my emails within hours, sometimes minutes, throughout the whole planning process and Erin made sure I was smiling and happy from start to finish on our big day. One of the best things about Great River is the brick breezeway because, unlike most other venues, it acts as an outdoor backup for unfortunate rainy wedding days. We thankfully didn’t have to use it, and got married at the gazebo, but you can still get married outside if it rains under the breezeway and not have to use the reception ballroom as both... we found that very unique and really important. GR is also relatively affordable compared to other venues in the area. Overall I would strongly recommend Great River as a wedding venue.

Gail, Erin and Julianne made us feel completely comfortable and did whatever it took to make us feel stress-free and at ease. They went above and BEYOND to take care of all of our needs and wants. Their level of professionalism is outstanding - from the early days of planning to the execution of the event, they never once failed to accommodate. The day of the wedding Julianne ensured that I ate, stayed hydrated, fixed my dress & makeup during the photo shoot and even helped put on the heel stoppers on my shoes to ensure I wouldn’t damage them as I walked through the grass. My favorite drink is a lychee martini and although they had never heard of this drink, they researched and were able to make quite a delicious lychee martini on the day of the wedding—these ladies know customer satisfaction! The space is incredible, and they nailed our vision in every way (even surprised us with the chairs I wanted). The FOOD...AMAZING. All of our guests commented about how delicious the food was, and how they couldn't get enough of it. They raved about how attentive the staff were. Our friends and family also couldn't believe how smoothly everything ran. This proved how incredibly well the entire team works together to ensure that every moment of the day ran seamlessly.

We loved Great River from the start. It is a gorgeous venue and the grounds are pristine. We hit a few hiccups when they were bought out by Sacred Heart including a rescheduled tasting several times. There was very little room for negotiating, ...
but once the day of hit it was all we expected and more. Lindsay is extremely organized and didn't miss a detail. Lisanne was SO attentive and helpful throughout our time there and made sure we had everything we needed at our fingertips. Food was delicious and the late night fries amazing! Thank you Lindsay and Lisanne for an amazing and memorable night!

We had our wedding reception at GRGC last month (April 2016). Everything was perfect! We worked with Lindsay who was on top of every detail, quick to respond and accomodated whatever we needed including some special requests. We were a little c...
oncerned when the venue was purchased by Sacred Heart University but Lindsay and everyone at Great River delivered the exact day we were promised from cocktail hour to dinner to the end. We did host our cocktail hour at Monty's and would recommend doing so. For the money, it is well worth it. Guests were happy to be able to sit outside to enjoy cocktail hour with the beautiful views. We received so many compliments about our day, many guests commented that it was one of the best weddings they ever attended.

My wife and I were beyond thrilled with the entire wedding experience we had with Great River. From the get go we were paired up with our personal event coordinator Lindsay. Lindsay was amazing to deal with! She was always available to answer...
our questions and was so helpful. The day of the wedding, we were also given a bridal concierge named Wan who was also so great to us. Both Lindsay and Wan (and the entire staff at Great River) went above and beyond to make our day perfect. The venue is also beautiful and Lindsey and her team worked so hard to get everything set up for us and it came out EXACTLY like we pictured. Our guests loved the food, the scenery and really the entirety of what Great River has to offer. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top notch wedding venue with staff that go above and beyond all expectations to make your day perfect.

't go as planned, we had no idea. It was an amazing day and I would host my wedding again in a heartbeat at Great River and not change a single thing. Also if you can afford it, rent out Monty's for the cocktail hour!! Just added an element of elegance to the entire evening. We ended up with a smaller number than expected (80 guests) and the room looked perfect. Thanks again!! Colleen and Marco Waiz

My husband and I are so happy with our choice of the Great River Golf club for our July 2012 wedding. Shannen was so attentive and helpful through the whole process. She was one of the biggest reasons we chose Great River after looking at about...
a dozen venues. We loved that there is only one event there are a time, we had the whole building just for the wedding. The grounds are beautiful and perfect for pictures. The food is delicious. Many guests said that it is the best wedding food they have ever had. the staff is so kind and flexible. It rained on my wedding day and the ceremony was inside and just as beautiful as it would have been outside. Julianne, the bridal concierge was so attentive to every detail on the wedding day. She made sure that my husband and I were taken care of and happy. She helped to calm my nerves too! I highly recommend the Great River Golf Club for anyone looking for a venue that only does one wedding at a time. They can really cater to what you want and spend a lot time making sure that you are happy.

I can't even rate this venue high enough to explain how wonderful they were. Throughout the entire planning process (almost 1 year) they were responsive and we felt like everything we asked for they were able to accommodate. I'm a very organi...
zed person and they even impressed me! They thought of literally everything. The food was delicious, the drinks were strong, and the service was outstanding. We had our ceremony here as well at their gazebo. In addition to Shannen (event coordinator) we also had Julianne (wedding concierge) available to us all night. They made sure we had food and drinks, Julianne made sure husband had his jacket for the cake cutting pictures, they drove us to do pictures on the golf course, and were always checking to see if we needed anything (but not in an annoying way). My mom said she felt like she could just be a guest instead of feeling like a host since everything was so well taken care of. I am so glad I picked this venue. We have had so many compliments on how beautiful everything was! I'm so glad we picked this as our venue and would recommend it to anyone getting married!

The raw seafood bar during cocktail hour and the Venetian dessert table were huge hits with our guests :) I cannot thank Shannen enough for being such a great planner (and a great person!). Also, Julianne was wonderful the day of our wedding. My husband and I felt very special! Highly recommended!

elax a little and just spend time with my hubby before the reception kicked off. Throughout the night she told me where I needed to be, what was next etc… it was great. The food was amazing and everybody loved what they ordered (grilled salmon, prime rib, chicken marsala.). We got a Ben&Jerry’s ice cream cart and did the Venetian table. The Venetian table was the only disappointing part. The pastries weren’t that great and you didn’t what was advertised. We told the staff at Great River this and they were more than accommodating and actually gave us a portion of our money back for the disappointing layout. Overall the cocktail hour was beautiful, the food delicious and the guests happy. Thanks again Jen and Shannen!

ne step ahead and the planning and preperation that goes into your day is well worth any $ spent. There is only one event at a time, so the sense of personal attention can not be put into words. There is a definite sense of ease when you know you can turn over your wedding day to trusting hands! The ballroom is a fantastic size and has a real sense of elegance you can not rent in any hall. It is simply a must see if you are still searching, and if you are deciding, stop mulling it over and just say yes to Great River!!!

an lines, the veranda... amazing! We had approximately 100 guests and were VERY comfortable. The staff was FANTASTIC! From the first time we met with Sheryl, to the meeting prior to the wedding with Julianne and Shannon, I had no doubt this wedding was going to go on without a hitch. The girls made sure we were hydrated, and also made sure that I had my favorite cocktail on board for the day of the wedding. Very attentive staff, great food, wonderful time!! The staff was so helpful, and it was also nice that we had reserved Monty's Bar and Grill for the cocktail hour. The only thing I would have done differently is extend the reception. We didn't want it to end! Trust me, you won't be disappointed! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

I recently had my wedding at the Great River Golf Club. Sheryl and Shannen were absolutely wonderful. They were so organized it took all the stress off of me for the day. Great River can be a bit pricey (we chose to do both our ceremony and...
our reception) but it's honestly worth every dime. The food was amazing. I can't tell you how many compliments we got on the food!! My vendors even told me how wonderful the staff was for them to coordinate with. I have to agree with the other reviewers - if you can, have your cocktail hour in the restaurant overlooking the golf course. If you have good weather it will be worth the extra money you paid. Another great thing about the room is it's simple and elegant. No matter what you chose as your decor for the wedding it will go beautifully in the room. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Great River. They go out of their way to make you and your guests comfortable in every aspect.
