We had the absolute best experience with The River Club ! From start to finish, the entire team was incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. Every question we had was answered quickly, and they were always available to offer guidance and support throughout the planning process. The staff went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly and to ensure our day was perfect! The venue itself is stunning!!
We got so many compliments from our guest about the staff, food and beautiful venue!
We’re so grateful to have celebrated such an important day in such a warm and welcoming place. Best day of my life :)

We had our wedding reception at the River Club in August 2024. Angela, Maria, Niki, and the entire team were a pleasure to work with. They are very detailed oriented, and that attention to detail ensured a smooth day, with everything running right on schedule! Our day of concierge was amazing, making sure all of our needs, as well as our parents' needs, were met throughout the night. I have a food sensitivity, and the staff was wonderful in accommodating that need and making sure I had plenty available to eat. The venue was immaculate and beautiful. We had a wonderful time, as did our guests. Thank you River Club!

Angela, Maria, Niki, and all of The River Club staff were absolute pleasures to work with! They were so helpful and provided us with detailed information about our reception options and support through the entire planning process. The venue itself is beautiful and was the perfect size for our wedding with just over 150 guests. We are still getting compliments from our guests months later on the quality of the food during cocktail hour and dinner, and how kind and accommodating the staff was! We would recommend The River Club to any engaged couples looking for a venue that will make the planning process a breeze from start to finish!

Where do we even start? This venue is MAGIC and so are the wonderful souls who care for it. We are beyond grateful that we got married at The River Club and were able to celebrate one of the most special moments of our lives there. The first time we visited, we knew we found a gem. From the views of the river, to the beauty of the surrounding grounds, the coziness of the indoors, and everything in between.
The day we got married, we were surrounded by nature’s best in the pavilion. The party continued inside the magical venue, it was spacious yet intimate and perfectly suited for every moment of the reception. From cocktail hour to dinner all the way through to an incredible dance party. The energy of this place is so special and we will cherish it forever.
Beyond the beauty of this venue, Angela, Maria and Niki made us and our guests feel like family! We are so grateful for their kindness, generosity and support. They were so helpful in guiding us as we crafted a wedding that felt like us. Plus, they are a sustainable venue and the package provides so many benefits, including ceremony & reception chairs and decor. There’s SO much more we could say but if you’re reading this review and engaged, get yourself to the coast and visit The River Club.

The River Club was the best decision we made for our wedding! First of all, if you are looking for a unique gorgeous venue that offers an inclusive single package ! From the beginning, we were blown away by how beautiful the grounds were. The coordinators were all amazing and super easy to work with! The day and the overall flow of the day were PERFECT! I had a very specific vision in mind and Angela, Maria and Niki made that vision a reality. You can tell they truly care about making your day as special and perfect as possible. Their staff takes care of everything so you don’t have to worry about anything the day of. We even used the house on site for our bridal party, which was super convenient for us. Also the food was so incredible, sometimes you book a venue and don’t really think of the food. But the food is something guests are still raving about to us! We would highly recommend this venue and can’t thank them enough for the best day of our lives, it was a truly magical weekend!

We got married this September at The River Club and the day was nothing short of perfect! A huge part of that was the venue and the coordinators. They took care of us leading up and the day of as if we were family and made sure everything went exactly as we had hoped! Our guests raved about the food and the space as well - it is a hidden gem! I highly suggest The River Club to anyone who is looking for a south shore/beachy vibe. Thank you so much Angela, Maria, Nikki and The River Club staff for playing such a large part in our wedding!

Incredible! The best decision we made besides getting married was doing it at The River Club. I cant believe we forgot to write a review sooner!!!!
They made the entire day and process so special and seamless. All the vendors they have are top-tier. We get compliments all the time from our guests saying our wedding was one of the best they have ever been to.
Special shoutout to our UNREAL wedding coordinators - Maria, Angela and Niki who were everywhere at every time. They soared our expectations, were so incredibly kind and helpful. After the wedding I heard stories of them helping our guests with anything they need all while giving us drinks (staying hydrated), packing us to-go food + cake for later that night, and keeping us on schedule. They are the best of the best! If I had the choice again I would pick them EVERY TIME!
Thank you for making our day seriously the best day and for exceeding our expectations of top notch service!

Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, thanks to the picturesque and wonderful perfect setting we chose. After exploring several options, we decided on The River Club—a truly remarkable venue nestled in Scituate, MA. Our wedding coordinators, Angela, Maria and Niki were extremely meticulous and paid attention to every detail. Their staff were exceptionally helpful and polite, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. They made the process run smoothly and seamless from the start to finish and were an absolute delight to work with! We chose to have our ceremony at their on site pavilion. Our guests raved at the natural beauty of the location and expressed how pleasurable it was to enjoy the venue's unique characteristics. The food was incredible, the filet you have to choose, I’m still thinking about it. We highly recommend The River Club for anyone looking for a one of a kind, picturesque wedding venue, stress free planning process, great value and a lifetime of wonderful memories. We are so grateful for the memories we made there and wish we could give them more than five stars!

We recently celebrated our wedding at The River Club, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, everything was set up, organized, and ran smoothly. My husband and I never had to deal with anything and there was no hiccups on the day.
The gardens provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony, and it was everything we hoped for.
Our guests absolutely loved the venue! Many commented on the picturesque surroundings and the lovely atmosphere that made our day feel truly special. The staff at The River Club were great—attentive, friendly, and incredibly professional. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, from the setup to the last dance.
Everything about our day felt perfectly coordinated, allowing us to focus on each other and our loved ones. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Thank you for making our day unforgettable!

The River Club was our picture perfect venue! From our first walkthrough we knew we were in kind, helpful and professional hands. Angela, Maria and Niki make a phenomenal team and eased all of our wedding planning anxieties. Even though they have years of experience they treated us as if we were their first ever couple - so attentive and caring answering our many emails in rapid time!
Even with rain in the forecast on our wedding day, we still were able to get married outside which was really special for us. The grounds of the River Club are absolutely stunning with so many photo opportunities!
Our guests are still raving about the food! From the spinach & artichoke dip appetizer to the entrees and “mediterranean delight” desserts - everything was delicious! Special shout out to Kim, who was our day of concierge! She is truly a “bride whisperer” and knows exactly how to handle the high stress of wedding day and mae it fun! Our parents felt so special having the concierge service as well.
Our group rented the house on the property which we loved since it kept the party going!

My husband and I had our wedding at The River Club on 10/11/24, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! Angela, Maria, and Niki were supportive from start to finish. If I had any questions or concerns throughout the planning process, they were addressed almost immediately.
The day was completely seamless thanks to the entire River Club team. They were incredibly organized, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day special. Every detail was taken care of, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our celebration. Kim, who was our day of concierge was so kind and ensured neither one of us was without a drink or food at any point we needed it.
The River Club exceeded our expectations and made our wedding day unforgettable. We are so happy to have had our wedding at The River Club & would highly recommend :)

10/10 recommend :)
We had the most incredible experience at The River Club. The staff was professional, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. The venue itself was incredibly stunning, I loved the beautiful grounds and the "year round" decor (lanterns, pillows, decor on the mantles we could use if we wanted) and it was perfect aesthetic for our wedding. The coordinators communication and responsiveness was exceptional, making the planning process stress-free. Maria, Angela and Niki made our wedding experience unforgettable and I cannot recommend this venue enough. They were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable throughout the planning process. I didn't have a wedding planner as I was doing things myself. They were quick with great ideas whenever I ran into a snag or an obstacle that I wasn't sure how to get around. During any stressful moments on the day-of, Maria or Angela were right there whenever I'd turn around, and they'd already have whatever I needed already in their hands before I could even verbalize it. They are magicians. We even had our own person who was with us throughout the night, Kim was amazing and I never even had to go to the bar, she was always there holding my dress or checking on us. The River Club provided us with an unforgettable wedding day, and we are forever grateful for the experience!

The best wedding venue choice hands down. You will not find better staff, better food and better atmosphere, this is an unbeatable wedding venue. Me & my husband thought it would be a good idea to plan a year in advance to avoid the usual stressors. We were wrong, not because it was so stressful but because there was no stress, Angela and Maria communicate everything fast & clearly & are extremely accommodating. We can’t say enough good things about them. If The River Club is on your list, it needs to be number 1 and if it’s not on your list then put it on there!

As soon as my husband and I did our tour of The River Club venue, we knew this place was the one! Angela, Niki and Maria did an outstanding job preparing for the day of our wedding. It was raining on and off all morning on our wedding day, but that did not stop them! I was blown away with how beautiful everything came together and our guests complimented the whole night how amazing and unique this venue was. We are so grateful how comfortable they made us feel throughout the process, but especially on the wedding day, we were able to relax and let them handle everything. They were extremely quick and responsive with any and all questions I had. I could not recommend this venue enough! You won’t regret it!

From the moment we had our first tour, we fell in love with this venue and knew it would be the perfect place for our intimate wedding. We received so many compliments from our family and friends about how stunning the grounds were and how fantastic the food was. In addition to the beauty of this venue, they have an unbelievable team working behind the scenes to make sure your day runs seamlessly. Angela, Maria and Niki were super responsive to my dozens of emails and were such a pleasure to work with!! I cannot say enough good things about this place and would highly recommend it!

Our wedding at the River Club was like a fairy tale. I felt like a princess and everyone made me feel so special and calm.
Leading up to the wedding they were also AMAZING at getting back to me through email. I never felt alone through the process. They were more than happy to answer any questions.
I’ve gotten so many compliments on the food, decorations, and staff at the wedding. I would recommend them highly for your special day.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about The River Club! Angela and her team were incredibly responsive and organized, making my bridal experience absolutely perfect. My husband and I got married in August, and Angela and Maria consistently checked in with us, ensuring we had everything we needed.
The venue itself was a dream come true—exactly what I envisioned for our special day. Angela's team went above and beyond, ensuring that my family and I always had a drink in hand, which made the day stress free! The food was outstanding! The chicken cordon bleu is a must-try.
Our guests are still raving about how amazing our wedding was, particularly highlighting how attentive and caring Angela and her team were. It truly was the perfect day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, River Club, for making our wedding unforgettable!

From the very beginning Angela, Maria and Niki were so incredibly attentive to us and what we wanted for our wedding day. Throughout the whole process they were incredibly responsive, answering every question and every email in 24 hours or less. We had a lot of last minute changes to guests and they handled everything perfectly. Our parents said that they felt so special the day of the wedding because staff kept coming around and making sure they were okay and if they needed anything. Staff was incredibly attentive to us also making sure we had drinks, food, and everything we needed. The River Club was a beautiful venue and I loved that they have their own decor if you don't have anything specific to add for decor. We had small issue when we didn't know that there was huge parade in town the day of our wedding, but we were able to work around it for pictures and made it to the venue on time! Thank you River Club for an amazing day!

When I look back on my wedding day, I still can’t believe how perfectly everything came together, and how easy the whole process was. We got married at the River Club on August 30th, and it was the best day of our entire lives. We worked closely with Angela and Maria during the planning process, and they couldn’t have made it any easier for us. Everything we needed to do was laid out for us and easy to keep track of. Our planning meetings with them covered every element to the day in detail. People were shocked when I told them I wasn’t stressed about planning the wedding, but there was no need to be.
The day of was absolutely incredible. The venue itself, as you can see from the photos, is absolutely stunning. Our guests loved both the indoor and outdoors spaces. The food was INCREDIBLE. Quite possibly the best filet I’ve ever had. We also did the ice cream sundae bar and the chicken fingers and fries for late night snacks. Our guests couldn’t get over the quality of the food and the fun additions as the night went on.
I would be remissed if I didn’t mention Kim, who was unbelievable and spent the night not only taking care of us, but our families as well. No one went through the night without a full stomach and a full glass. It was absolutely lovely to be taken care of, but it was even lovelier to have our families taken care of. That meant the world to my husband and me.
I feel it is really important to mention that I read some of the earlier reviews that were less than 5 stars, and in reflection I feel it is really important to address them because I couldn’t have had a more opposite experience. Any negative review I read was either a) completely not our experience or b) outlined clearly in our contract and a complete non-issue (ie. being escorted by security to the sunset photo location…not only not a big deal, but he also made sure we didn’t get hit by a car).
To Angela, Maria, and Niki, we can’t thank you all enough for the incredible kindness you showed us and our guests on the most important day of our lives. It is a day we will always remember with joy and happiness, and the work you put into running your facility is a big reason for that. Our only regret is that we can’t go back and do it all over again!
Book this venue. You will NOT regret it!

Choosing The River Club for our wedding venue was hands down the best decision we ever could have made. Right from the get go, they were highly organized & supportive during the planning process, communicating closely with us the whole time. They were accommodating of our requests and visions, and also made helpful recommendations on how to make the day flow smoothly.
All of our guests can’t stop talking about what a beautiful wedding it was- the grounds were gorgeous, the inside was a dream, and the transitions from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception were seamless with their help.
We had a blast enjoying the indoor/outdoor bridal suite prior to the ceremony, with complementary champagne, snacks, and private bathroom. From the instant we stepped into the River Club on wedding day, Angela, Maria, Kim and everyone there were so kind, complimentary, accommodating, and calm. Both my husband and my family enjoyed working with them as well! It felt like family!
The outdoor ceremony space was serene and romantic, inside was gorgeous, the food was fantastic (our guests continue to comment on how it was some of the best food they’ve had at a wedding), the drinks were delicious, and the dance floor was electric! I wish we could relive this night over and over again. Highly recommend having your wedding at this beautiful place!

If you're reading this review, odds are you're looking for your perfect venue for your special day. There are SO many options out there and while I know our day would have been special no matter where we chose to get married, the moment we stepped on the grounds of the River Club, we immediately knew this is where we wanted our wedding day to be. Not only is the outdoor ceremony space, landscaping, bridal suite, reception area (etc) beyond beautiful, but the staff were incredibly attentive and organized throughout the entirety of the wedding planning process.
Planning process:
Throughout the planning process, the wedding coordinators (Angela, Maria, and Niki) worked seamlessly with us to ensure that we had all of the information we needed and clarified what was needed by us and by when.
The day:
My husband and I had such an amazingly perfect wedding day. In the most beautiful setting on site, the staff made the day run so smoothly and was so attentive not only to my husband and I but to our wedding parties, family, and all of our guests.
Food:
The food was so good!! Our guests kept coming up to us and raving about how yummy the food was (many surprised because the actual food at weddings is often meh). I know that it is hard to know 100% how the food will be until you're at the wedding, so wanted to be sure to make it clear that the food was 10/10!
We couldn't be more happy with how our wedding went. We are so thankful for The River Club!

The River Club was the perfect venue for our wedding! Angela and her crew were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. Anytime I had a question I would send a email and somebody would get back to us within a few hours.(even on weekends)
From the moment Maria greeted us and we walked through the doors for the first time, we knew it would be our venue. We booked two years out and fell in love with it more and more every time we visited.
When we arrived on our wedding day, we walked out to Angela, and she greeted us with a huge smile and a hug. She really made sure we felt like family. The grounds are beautiful and they have so much decor of their own already that enhances anything you bring. They really stay on top of the latest wedding trends too. They even added in their 'hello darling' mirror in the white room for us free of charge! SO MUCH was included in their package, which made planning for us so much easier.
On our wedding day, Angela and her team made sure everything ran smoothly and stress-free. Everybody we talked to told us they had never been to a wedding like this and it was truly amazing. Everybody left full and satisfied. Angela also packed up a bunch of Togo food for us as well. They truly made it the best day of our lives. I would highly recommend The River Club to anyone. I hope somebody I know gets married here in the future!

The River Club is a gorgeous venue! My husband and I came across it accidentally while we were in Scituate for New Years one year. We toured it and fell in love! Every time we went back for different events like meetings and food tasting, it was always in the daylight. Then, on our wedding night, we fell in love with it even more as the twinkly lights really make you feel like you're in a dream! Angela and her team were professional and helpful throughout the whole process. As first time wedding planners, we had a lot of questions and we never felt afraid to ask those questions as they were very responsive. The food was amazing and even one of our friends said "that was probably the best wedding meal I have ever had". The employees of the River Club all worked together flawlessly to make sure we had a smooth night! My husband and I were not worried about anything! It all fell into place beautifully and we could not have asked for a better wedding at a more beautiful venue! Thank you River Club for making our wedding dreams come true!

My husband and I recently got married here. We had never been there before, but it kept coming up on my instagram feed, so we checked it out; and let me tell you, it was THE BEST DECISION EVER! Angela, Maria & Niki were AMAZING throughout the entire wedding planning process. I was a very detail-oriented bride and always had a million questions. I would send an email and would get a response within 15-20 minutes and had all my questions and worries answered and never made me feel like I was bothering her. My day was everything we envisioned and the team at The River Club made it come to life! The grounds are gorgeous and all of my guests RAVED about the food! All of the staff there worked like a well-oiled machine! A special shout out to Kim, who was mine and my husband’s concierge. She made sure we ate, drank and were enjoying ourselves all night long! If you’re looking for a venue, look no further!

This was the most perfect place to have my wedding! I cannot express just how amazing the venue and the staff were! It is a beautiful venue, we got married at the pavillion on their gorgeous garden grounds and the whole venue has so many beautiful spaces. The venue alone is stunning, so any decor you add will only enhance how beautiful the venue is. The staff at The River Club will blow you away with how amazing they are! Throughout the entire year for planning they were always there to help me and answer any questions I had. On the actual wedding day their execution of the day was flawless. The food was delicious!

The River Club is truly a dream wedding venue. We worked with Angela and Maria as our wedding coordinators, and them and all of their staff were excellent - highly organized, responsive, so friendly. The day of the wedding, everything was absolutely perfect. I could not have imagined that a wedding could possibly go so smoothly with so little stress. There truly was not a single hiccup or lapse of communication - we were able to sit back and enjoy our wedding without needing to tend to all the little details, because everything was taken care of for us. You can see for yourself in photos, but the venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. It was the most amazing day for us, and we are so grateful to The River Club for making this day happen!

The view, food, service and staff are unmatched. I cannot recommend The River Club enough. Every one of our guests commented on how incredible the food and venue was. The package include so much, you don't have to worry about so many little details. The sunset patio was incredible for pictures. Maria, Angela and Niki and the rest of the staff were absolutely incredible. They helped to make our day seamless and so enjoyable for us. They went above and beyond with making sure we had fun, everything looked great, ate the incredible food, and remembered everything at the end of the night. I can't imagine having our wedding anywhere else!

I’m not sure where to start for this absolutely incredible experience. My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams at The River Club. When beginning to look around for venues, I had done a quick search for places and The River Club was the first venue I chose to peruse. I decided to call, and the minute I spoke with Maria (who was very quick to respond), I knew we had found our location. To begin with, Angela and Maria are kind, lovely, who genuinely want to make your wedding perfect. Honestly, absolutely everything provided exceeded our hopes and expectations. The entire process of planning was so easy – made seamless. They made every effort to accommodate us in every way to make it the most special day for us. They were always quick to respond, making communication simple. The table settings were gorgeous, the drinks were perfect, and the plated meals and their presentation were outstanding. For our ceremony, we were planning to get married outside at their gorgeous pavilion, but unfortunately, it rained that morning and I wasn’t sure we would be able to. Being able to wait as last-minute as possible and actually being able to be married outside when I thought we wouldn’t be able to, was absolutely a dream come true. During the reception, the staff were amazing and kind to everyone, and treated us, literally, like royalty. Our friends and family raved for weeks about how incredible everything was. I cannot recommend this venue, and all of it’s staff, enough. A million thanks to Angela and Maria for giving us an unbelievable day, and memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

The first thing we noticed about The River Club is that Angela Maria and Niki found a way to say yes to all our daughter’s dreams! My daughter wanted a special space full of warmth. And they made everything a terrific success! The food was spectacular and the service impeccable! We had over 200 guests and everyone got special attention. I cannot think of a better place that could have set the ambiance, elegance and superb comfort The River Club is able to naturally create! We will always remember and be thankful the joy The River Club gave to my daughter and her husband!

We cannot speak highly enough about The River Club! They were incredibly easy to work with from the very start. Angela and her team made our wedding planning process seamless. Their venue is absolutely stunning, from the outside area with a pergola for an outdoor ceremony, waterfalls, a fire pit, the cigar area for cocktail hour, the gorgeous white piano in the cocktail area inside, the full (!!) bar, the twinkle lights in the dining room.. the entire venue is just perfect. It comes with everything- tables, chairs, linen, dinnerware, glassware, a bar with bartenders, a kitchen. You don’t have to rent any equipment or hire any bartenders or caterers. It made our lives so much easier while we were planning our big day! Not to mention the food and drinks were INCREDIBLE. On the day of the wedding, we were met at the venue by our own personal attendant who waited on us hand and foot. We didn’t lift a finger all day. Because of their service, we were able to be present in each moment with each other and soak in the best day of our lives. Additionally, we rented the house on the property for the entire wedding party and their +1s. The house is absolutely gorgeous with plenty of space. We were able to get ready at the house in the morning, including four hair and makeup artists with plenty of room to work. We had an after party at the house which was the perfect way to keep the party going. Angela and her team even wrapped up our late night leftovers and brought them over to the house for the after party! We cannot recommend The River Club highly enough! 5+ stars!

As my husband and I started the wedding planning process, fate brought us to The River Club. My (the bride) parents had both passed away prior to our wedding (September 9, 2023). Not knowing at the time that we booked The River Club for our reception venue, my aunt proceeded to tell me that my parents had had their wedding reception at The River Club 30+ years ago. After sharing this with the owner, Angela, she couldn’t have made my husband and I feel more like family if she tried. Angela and her entire team were absolutely wonderful through the entire planning process. Angela is so kind, professional, detail oriented and EXTREMELY good at her job! I sent her so many emails with questions and she NEVER made me feel like I was bothering her or was asking stupid questions. Every email was responded to within 15 minutes with an answer that put me at ease. Her staff was extremely attentive the day of our wedding. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and Angela and her team played a huge role in that! We got married off site at my church and had our cocktail hour and reception at The River Club. The food was spectacular; all of our guests raved about it the night of and are still raving about it 2 months later! We will only recommend The River Club to anyone needing a wedding venue! 10 out of 10 experience! Thank you Angela and the entire staff at The River Club!

My husband and I got married at the River Club in July 2023 and were beyond impressed with their professionalism and efficiency - as were my parents. Angela and the River Club team have truly made this a seamless process designed to keep things as easy as possible for you while you're planning your wedding. You are truly getting an incredible deal as I learned from comparing notes with friends also planning their own weddings. Chair rentals? Cake cutting fees? Never heard of them! Having so much provided in the venue rental allowed us to dedicate our time to more important aspects of the wedding planning process.
Angela and her team were all delights to work with and made sure all of our questions and concerns were answered and addressed with kindness and professionalism. They provided us with an awesome vendor list which I highly suggest utilizing for all my RC brides-to-be. The River Club staff is a well-oiled machine that makes your day flow perfectly and without hiccups.
Finally, the food was spectacular. Our guests are still raving about it whenever the day comes up. They accommodated all of our allergen restrictions (and we had quite a few) with ease.
We couldn't recommend the River Club more for your wedding! Every rule they have and process they follow is for a reason - trust them and be continuously impressed by your experience for one of the best days of your life.

I got married here in July and it was the absolute best day ever thanks to Angela and the wonderful team at The River Club! The entire process was so organized and everyone was helpful and responsive from the day we booked through our wedding day. I didn’t have to worry about a thing on my big day because The River Club team has literally everything covered. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, the food was great and both us and our guests had an amazing time. We are so happy that we chose to have our wedding here and can’t thank the team enough!!

If you’re even slightly considering The River Club, DO IT! This place has “dream wedding” written all over it. We had THE perfect day and couldn’t have ask for a better group to work with throughout the process. From the day we made our first visit, to the day we made our final exit, we had zero complaints. The Lazaris family is with you every step of the way and will always reassure you that you will have THE perfect day. Not that many venues in the south shore area charge you simply based off food and drinks. You are getting so much bang for your buck. If any changes needed to be made, they were made at ease. If you’re ever worried about rain, they can easily make the switch to inside. If you want to go buffet style vs plated, you can. If you want to have 40 people or 140 people, they can make it work. If you want to take pictures next to the ocean or garden, have at it. What more can you ask for. Our wedding over two months ago, and people are still talking about how gorgeous it was and how much they loved our venue. All that being said, CHOOSE THE RIVER CLUB!

The River Club is a fantastic venue for a wedding! From the beginning, I felt their staff was professional, kind, responsive, patient and accommodating. Planning a wedding can be stressful and we felt so at ease working with Angela, Maria and Nikki. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, the food is delicious and the staff provide excellent service. The day was perfect and I would not change a single thing!

The River Club was able to provide us with the wedding of our dreams! Angela and her staff were very helpful during the planning process. Whenever we had a question, they would respond to our emails right away. The River Club provided us a list of vendors to choose from that helped make decisions that much easier. They were so kind and kept our wedding day on schedule so we could accomplish everything we wanted to. The day of the wedding, they treat you like royalty. The staff made sure we had everything we needed prior to the ceremony and throughout the reception, even packing up all our decor at the end of the night. Guests of our wedding have not stopped talking about how perfect the venue was and how amazing the food was. The cookies and milk station was a big hit during dessert! The River Club helps provide you with such a personalized day that you leave feeling loved and important to them, not just another wedding. We are so glad we had our wedding here!

I fell in love with this venue the minute we saw it. It was our dream venue and it was the best night. Angela, Maria & Niki helped us a lot with everything and were so patient with us planning from another state. They made video calls with us and answered SO MANY of my emails with copious questions. Through it all they stayed so pleasant and professional! The grounds were beautiful and the guests fell in love as well. Can't say enough great things about The River Club, It will forever hold a special place in our hearts!

We had an absolute blast! The moment we booked we knew right away we made the right choice. The vibe of the venue really fit us, it was homey with a lot of different areas for our guests to enjoy throughout the entire wedding day. The staff was so attentive to all of our needs. Angela and Maria were so wonderful to us, from the beginning to end. We are so incredibly thankful they made the wedding the best day of our lives!

From the first visit to the property, we knew that this was the perfect venue for our wedding. The stunning grounds, landscaping, waterfall, river views perfect for sunset, and perfect indoor and outdoor space immediately sold us and we booked that day without seeing any other venues. The planning process was well organized and directed to keep us on track and Maria and Angela were very responsive to any questions asked. You truly get to make the space exactly how you want it to be with all the details you want. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect. Maria and the staff did an absolutely wonderful job setting up the space as I imagined and taking care of the guests and us all night! Could not recommend the River Club and Maria enough!

Where do I even start?! Everything was PERFECT!!! Our wedding was by far the best day of our life. The timeline was executed beautifully. Once my now husband and I showed up, we didn’t have to do a thing. Everything was taken care for. We were checked on multiple times by multiple different staff members the whole night. Not to mention how attentive they were during the planning process. They are so quick to get back to you via email or phone. I could go on and on about this place and these people!! I HIGHLY recommend the river club

My husband and I had the absolute time of our lives working with Angela, Maria and their team. Starting with the incredible tour, to sitting down and ironing out the "big day details", to having our day be handled so impeccably without lifting a finger. This family business is who you want in your corner when you are planning for your special day, and who you want by your side in the future. We are indebted to all they have done for us.

The River Club was everything we had dreamed of for our special day! Angela and her team went above and beyond throughout the entire process to help make our wedding absolutely perfect!
From our very first meeting to tour the venue, we fell in love with the idea of hosting our big day in Scituate on the beautiful grounds of the River Club. The process to make our decision was super easy given how simplified all the offerings the River Club has to offer are. The menu, details, and pricing is super transparent which really helped us understand if the choice made sense – spoiler alert it did =)
Once we signed that contract, the planning process began and working with Angela and her team is like a well-oiled machine. All the choices we needed to make and details that needed to be selected were right there for us to make. We thoroughly enjoyed the food tasting (more to come on the food) and all the check-in meetings to ensure we were staying right on track! The entire team was extremely communicative through our entire planning process.
Now for the big day, the entire thing went off without a hitch – it was absolutely perfect. The RC staff made sure we felt like royalty and no detail was left untouched. All of our vendors reported back extremely pleasant experiences partnering with the River Club from pre event planning to the very end of the night. Really the only negative part about working with the River Club is at some point the magic has to end!
About the food, we were blown away. It is now almost 2 months since our big day and we still have guests texting us about how delicious everything was and how beautiful the venue is. Everything on the food and drink front was amazing, especially the larger staff the helped pull everything together.
We could ramble on about everything but will close this out by saying if you are on the cusp of making your final decision and the River Club is a potential choice – look no further as it will be one of the best decisions you make (outside of saying I do!)

I wish I could give The River Club more than 5 stars. We had an amazing wedding night and thoroughly enjoyed working with all the staff. The planning process was very organized and this made coordination with vendors seamless. My husband is in the military and we planned our wedding details to be finalized months in advance due to our moving situation. We almost decided not to have an “formal wedding” because it would require extra coordination, but Angela worked with us regarding our timeline and helped us all along the way. Needless to say we are SO HAPPY we decided to have a wedding! The River Club is located in a beautiful area and is stunning to say the least. We chose for guests to be served the filet, chicken marsala, or mushroom ravioli as a vegetarian option. Our guests are still talking about how great the night was and how delicious their meal was months later! Everything we planned was done meticulously and I really couldn’t be happier that we chose The River Club. Thank you so very much for everything!

I would definitely recommend The River Club! One of the main things that drew us to the venue was obviously its gorgeous indoor and outdoor facilities, but also that they supply a lot of typical wedding decorations (such as welcome signs, Mr. & Mrs. signs, mantel décor, etc.). It really helps take some stress away if you don't have to bring all those items yourselves (but you still can if you want). Throughout the planning process, the staff were really attentive and answered questions quickly. On the wedding day itself, I was blown away with the amazing level of service from all involved. They really know how to make the day special and keep everything moving smoothly!

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with The River Club! It’s obviously gorgeous and their professionalism was more than I could have asked for. A thunder storm started to roll in about 20 minutes before our ceremony started. They kept me stressed free, had both the inside and outside set up and they let me decide which way I wanted to go with about 5 minutes to spare so I could have my dream ceremony. Our guests had the best time, the staff was incredible, the food was amazing, and planning was made as easy as possible. I cannot recommend this venue enough!

The river club is absolutely stunning! We had our wedding there and because it’s private we get to use the whole grounds. My guests loved the fire pit and wrap around deck. The property across the street for pictures is breathtaking, I cannot wait to hang up those pictures in our new home! Angela was so wonderful throughout the process. We of course had no idea what’s we were doing but her and her team made us so comfortable. It’s also really nice to deal with the same people throughout the entire process. The food was to die for, the buffet was so good and we all ate so much food, I think our guests went up for thirds. We also did the pizzas from the late night menu which seriously were the best munchies for later in the night. We thank you for the best night of our lives! I could go on and on!

When I saw the river club for the first time on instagram, I knew I wanted to have my wedding there! Touring the venue in person completely solidified it. It is simply the most gorgeous wedding venue and it was exactly what I was looking for. This is a spectacular location for a wedding. It has beautiful photo opportunities all around, from the patio across the street overlooking the river, the pavilion, to the avenue of flowers outside, and the fire pit most of our guests used the entire time. The town is engulfed by the ocean which was a necessity for me! The fact that it’s also private for just you and your guests and private parking is amazing. You feel like you’re being completely catered to and the sole focus which I personally loved on my wedding day. Having a concierge that day that took care of just me and my husband was much needed and was so wonderful. I didn’t realize how much you need someone to look after you throughout the day because it’s an incredibly overwhelming day. The staff was phenomenal, I’ve been to so many weddings and I can’t believe my wedding was so incredible. Thank you to Angela, Maria and Niki, I felt so comfortable with them guiding me and overseeing the entire process and day without fault! Highly recommend this venue!

A HUGE thank you for making our wedding day just the most perfect day. From the moment I contacted Angela, Niki, Maria last year we knew that the river club would be the place we wanted to get married. Never in our wildest dreams could we have imagined just how wonderful it was. Our guests cannot stop saying how perfect the venue was too. The organization and communication was fantastic from day one. The kindness they showed when we had last minute changes was so appreciated and rather than add to the stress, they just made it all less stressful too. It’s nice to work with the same people from the moment you book to seeing them throughout the years and on the wedding day. Everything was perfect, I wouldn’t change a thing. Highly recommend!!
