River Stone Manor

Ashley, and manager Heather, were great as well. Walking into the Manor House feels like walking in a beautiful time capsule. And walking down the aisle to the outside podium by the trees and water, feels like a scene from The Notebook. The only minor negative was that getting all of our decor out at the end of the wedding night was not communicated to us.

and Ashley being the most helpful to ensure our vision was perfectly executed and that our day went exactly how we wanted it to go. We genuinely appreciate the kindness, flexibility and availability to answer all of our questions during the process. Our day was truly special because of the beautiful venue and staff! Thank you from the Gallaghers!!!

were in top shape and I felt completely taken care of by the staff at River Stone Manor. Thank you!!

ble. They just did renovations this year and the property is outstanding. We loved having our ceremony outdoors and then getting to have a climate controlled area for our dinner and reception. The property is absolutely stunning with the beautiful greenery, manor house, newly renovated banquet hall, and the arbor overlooking the river. Guests raved about the setting and food! We would recommend anyone to have their wedding here!

e had a wonderful experience. It was perfect and we are truly grateful.

quickly became evident as to why so many people choose them. The staff and site coordinator was organized, professional, and flexible. She was knowledgeable and this allowed us to really make our day to our own personal taste and personalities. She embraced our vision and everything the day of went off without any issues. We are so grateful for all of their efforts. The physical space itself is beautiful and doesn't need much extra to enhance it- however it is also a great blank canvas to make change to any couples taste-eclectic or traditional. We only have great things to say about getting married here.

outdoor ceremony. The staff (especially Ashley) were so wonderful and attentive. Highly would recommend this venue!

Vegas), so this was more of our party for family and friends and also a one-year anniversary celebration. As such, we had some very untraditional ideas for the event. Our wedding planner at River Stone, Ashley Dariano, and all of the River Stone team were exceptional about listening to our vision for the evening (including a non-traditional group activity instead of a ceremony) and bringing it to life. Ashley took the time to ensure she fully understood how we wanted things to flow and delivered 1000%. She communicated with us regularly leading up to the event and, after our final pre-event meeting with her, we were so excited because we knew it was going to be handled perfectly. The one curveball we dealt with that day was the weather (we wanted an outdoor “ceremony” activity and had our reception in the beautiful tent area; however, the River Stone team did not allow Mother Nature to derail our day. As the weather changed, things were moved swiftly from outdoors to the tent and the tent itself was equipped to protect us from a brief thunderstorm. The food was amazing! So many great options and our guests said that our food selections – including the mac & cheese and taco bars – really represented who we were as people. It was a balance of classy and casual. The staff was so attentive to our needs and went above and beyond, constantly checking in with us. And when it came to “game time,” Ashley was a total BOSS. We did not see her STOP once. She was checking in with our guests, pouring champagne, picking up plates, overseeing the changes of the evening, and just making sure no detail was left unattended to. Our “wow” moment was when one of our guests, who struggles with extreme food allergies and prepared us that she probably wouldn’t be able to eat much, approached us and said, “I’ve never been able to eat this much at a wedding before!” The staff was so attentive to her needs – it blew us away. Our guests are STILL talking about how amazing our reception was. Thank you so much to Ashley and all of the River Stone team for making our day exactly as we imagined it!

, and Ashley, who we worked with to plan the reception, was most helpful throughout the planning process and the day of the reception!

o say I do not think I stressed about a single thing on the day of the wedding. They made sure our needs were catered to, and made sure we were happy with everything. I would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for an unforgettable Wedding Day!

re on point, very pleasant very accommodating. The owners could not do more than they did for the wedding party. The property where the ceremony was was beautiful overlooking the Mohawk River, the reception space was beautiful, the food was exceptional, everything was properly seasoned came out piping hot one of the best meals I've ever had at a wedding also the DJ was great had everybody up there dancing the photographer was amazing. All in all it was an amazing event a magical wedding in a great venue. I would highly recommend Riverstone Manor for any of your wedding or large event needs.

courteous, professional, and beyond amazing. Us, our friends, and family can’t stop talking about the amazing food, the antipasto display was above board, the mashed potatoes to die for, all the hors d’oeurves and entrée’s – delicious is an understatement. The Manor House was a beautiful getting ready space for me (the bride) and the spread they put out for myself, and girls was perfect. The grounds and landscaping are incredibly picturesque and so well-manicured. The staff were amazing all night, serving, assisting guests, and cleaning up. The bartender Bob was top notch and kept our guests happy beyond belief. Maureen did an amazing job getting the wedding off without a hitch, and Kayla was a crucial part of our planning process. Skip shows an immense amount of pride in his business and rightfully so. River Stone Manor is an A+ venue and their attention to detail is first rate.

with the river behind the ceremony, the tent for cocktail hour and the well maintained reception building and last but defiantly not least the amazing manor house! Skip the owner, Kayla our wedding coordinator and the rest of his staff were so much more than we could have ever asked for. I truly cannot thank them enough for all their hard work that went into our perfect day and all leading up to it! If you’re looking for a venue, no need to look any further I’m telling you to book River Stone Manor you truly won’t regret it!

ved the outside space. The cocktail hour food was so good, people thought it was the entire wedding! We were treated incredibly well by the staff, and they made all the guest feel welcome. Dinner was also amazing, each entree was delicious. They were able to work with my vision for the day, and were even able to Skype with us for our meeting since I was planning from out of town. Would highly recommend the River Stone for your wedding!

o my husband and I could enjoy our wedding day stress free. Our guests commented that we had one of the best weddings and venues they have ever been to. Highly recommended!

ng leading up to our big day. They were VERY quick to respond to any last minute questions that last week, which is amazing when you’re stressing up until the wedding. At and after the wedding the first thing our guests commented on was the amazing scenery. They couldn’t believe the beautiful back drop for the wedding, and even said they couldn’t believe a place that beautiful was so close to the city of Schenectady. We would highly recommend to anyone looking to book for a wedding, shower, or even a small event. It was beyond our wildest dreams!

cken was the best chicken they have ever had! Renee and Skip were amazing and checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were taken care of and that everything was to our liking. They were also very accommodating to our team of helpers that came in early to set up extra decor for the reception. I want to re-live our reception over and over because it was absolutely flawless. Thank you so much to the River Stone team for an amazing day!

ur pup Remy be apart of our ceremony! We received compliments on every part of our day- from food, to the beautiful grounds, the flow of the events everything was perfect! Do not hesitate to pick River Stone for your wedding venue!!

nd the venue for an outside wedding, separate cocktail hour and then reception hall were perfect.

e best experience! Also I cannot for get to give a shout out to Mr Wilson...lol.

ll. The team there pays attention to every detail. We could not have wished for anything better for our daughter. Perfection!!!

ew of the river. Rena was an amazing to work with. She was knowledgeable, helpful, and always had our best interest at heart. On our wedding day, she personally made sure everything went flawless. The food was incredible. From the abundant appetizers to the three course meal, everyone left full. The service was exceptional. We highly recommend River Stone Manor for any function you may have!

ip is the owner of Riverstone and anything that can be done, Skips does it. The entire team at Riverstone was accommodating to Natalie and Chris and all of their requests. Rena and Maureen handled all of the arrangements - Rena in the ballroom and Maureen in the Mansion. The Mansion, by the way, is an original home from the 1800's and Natalie and the bridesmaids were able to dress and prepare for the wedding in their own room. It is a very relaxing home and Maureen took special care of us as I'm sure she does with each bride. The wedding venue along the Mohawk River was just so pretty. They were married, in the morning, in a grove of shade trees under an arch with the river as the backdrop. We then went up to the Ballroom for cocktails and such tasty and delicious appetizers. The ballroom was stunning; light and airy with full length windows showcasing the beautiful spring day, and an outdoor patio to mingle with all of our friends and family. Sitting down to our dinner of three courses, each one delicious and well executed. The room is spacious and lots of dancing and toasts and speeches ensued. The happy couple wanted a fun and unique wedding and Skip and his entire team - front of the house and back of the house delivered. I would recommend Riverstone Manor to anyone.

from scratch,” delicious hors d'oeuvres, wedding soup and generous portions of well-prepared entrées Ballroom- spacious, fresh, elegant, light with a wall of windows and chandeliers Staff- servers were attentive, energetic, friendly, and helpful; Rena, banquet manager- provided great advice for decorating, other vendors options, and menu; ongoing great communication in planning and very attentive to our wishes Setting- beautiful grounds with room for child-guests to run on the grass and wedding party to take pictures

rounded by trees and a well manicured lawn and gardens, we knew right away that the owner and staff here take pride in this facility. Skip, the Owner, and Rena, the Banquet Manager met with us initially and in every step of the process and were so helpful. We rented the beautiful historical Manor House so that I and my matron of honor could get ready prior to the ceremony. This, as it turns out, is Skip's residence and was absolutely stunning inside. Rena and Skip were both working at our wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly. Rena checked on me frequently during the pre-ceremony prep to make sure we had everything we need. We had our ceremony on the lawn in front of the river and the reception under the tent. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour and food at the reception. This place is a gem and our wedding was picture perfect. Thank you Skip and Rena!

sphere perfect! I will be forever grateful for making our daughters dreams come true.... Thank you Riverstone!!!!!! I wish we could do it again....

easy to work with. They take care of everything!

we had a great experience with RSM: Amber was always available by email/phone for answers to questions and there were no shady extra fees/charges. The one mistake I have to disclose is that we found out (after the wedding) that guests were served the wrong steak. There were two choices for steaks, and we decided upon ours (bistro steak with whiskey butter sauce.. mmm.. it's delicious!) in December. We found out a few days after the wedding that guests were served the other choice, though.. the steak with balsamic salsa. Skip was very apologetic for the mistake and worked with us to compensate us for it. The food that night was also extremely peppery and many guests commented on this (I actually couldn't eat my potatoes because of how peppery they were, and I like spices). This surprised us because the food was so delicious during our tasting-- hopefully just a fluke. I would definitely recommend RSM and hope to have many occasions to work with them in the future.

de it flawless. The ballroom was set up perfect and the services was phenomenal throughout the evening of our wedding.

emails and voicemails, we never once felt like we were out of the loop on what would be happening the day of our wedding. Even with the hurricane flooding they were able to move our ceremony space and still create a beautiful day outside. When our wedding day came everyone was able to just relax and be there because the staff took care of absolutly everything. I have heard from many friends and family that it was hands down the BEST wedding they have ever attended, from the ceremony to the reception and food. I would highly reccommend having your wedding there, it was the best experience of my life.

really loved having our wedding there and all of our friends and family were really impressed by it. I can't recommend River Stone enough!!
