The River Club

l-oriented, responsive, patient, and knowledgeable everyone in the organization was. All the planning meetings were so organized, and we felt super confident that this wasn’t their first rodeo yet didn’t feel like we were just another wedding. One of my favorite parts of planning is that they request that you also drop off your décor about 10 days before the event and that was super helpful to have that checked off our list so we weren’t scrambling leading up to the wedding. I also loved that on the big day the newlyweds have a private concierge who is specifically there to help ease their day. From organizing the first look across the street, to corralling our big bridal parties, to getting us to eat and drink – we felt so attended to and cared for. Not to mention, having a private bridal party suite on site with a private bathroom was such a nice added bonus. All of these details would have made for a perfect event, but to top it off, the grounds are absolutely stunning. You can tell Angela and her team care so much about every detail of the venue -- the ceremony site, waterfall, seasonal flowers, landscaping, indoor twinkle lights – the venue is truly exquisite. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the venue and the team at The River Club. If you’re thinking of a South Shore wedding, I highly recommend The River Club!

ike I was in good hands the entire time! I really didn’t know what I was doing when planning my wedding and Angela provides excellent guidance and was a joy to work with!!! We stayed on budget and the night was gorgeous!

ce was smooth and extremely accommodating and the food was amazing. Our guests have been raving about the venue since we left and I highly recommend them to others! We also got the house on the property for the weekend which made our lives easy not having to leave to travel on the day of!

the perfect day. As an event planner myself, I felt SO confident that they could handle every crazy detail I had, and they 100% captured every single one. Seg, your day-of concierge, truly knows how to throw a PARTY and makes sure the bride, groom, and bridal party always has everything they need and are where they need to be. The food was amazing, the bar was fast and kept the drinks coming, and the grounds and venue are stunning. I had so many guests say the same, and so many complimented how amazing the staff was. I literally don’t have a single con to speak of. I truly cannot thank the River Club enough for making our day so perfect and highly recommend to any future brides!!

g day goes smoothly and really make sure the bride and groom have an amazing day. We had a private concierge for the day that was getting us drinks through the night and making sure we ate dinner since we were busy interacting with guests. I would highly recommend them to everyone and we are so happy we chose them for our special day!

went well since there were a few things. The food was really good, from the guests point of view they thought everything ran smoothly and the venue was gorgeous. Angela was quick with email responses when I had questions and was accommodating up UNTIL the drop off date for my wedding decorations and the actual wedding day. They switched my drop off time the day of, which I was perfectly okay with because there were circumstances that happened out of their control and I was able to accommodate them. A half hour later after I agreed to a new drop off time of 8 PM. I got a rude email saying “ Ali I can't do 8 pm its very late. I will do 5 pm, please don't be late because I have a rehearsal after.” After explaining why we couldn’t do 5 pm ( we live an hour and a half away and this was a Thursday we both have full time jobs) they agreed to 8. They said Maria will be there at 8. When I got to the venue around 7:50, I went inside and they had a venue tour going on! How would 8 PM be too late for a bride dropping off her wedding decor but not for a venue tour?! The tour left a few minutes before we sis after dropping off all our stuff. I was extremely shocked and upset thinking they were prioritizing the tour over my wedding which now I completely understand since it’s seems like they are typical sales people. What didn’t go well was that while I was eating dinner, the sweetheart table collapsed and fell to the floor. My husband was not sitting down at the time and it was just me, when it finally hit me what had happened, I had to walk out of my own wedding because I was embarrassed and extremely upset. The photographer and videographer were the ones to say “let’s go outside and take pictures” so that I wouldn’t be seen crying in front of my guests. One of my engraved champagne glasses broke but I was reimbursed by Angela for them. Which is the only thing they did to compensate us. We got married at a separate location and were late getting to the reception a little bit but they made sure to tell me over and over again that we were behind which made me super anxious and was rushing around. When my aunt and mum arrived before me with flowers for head table, Angela didn’t even welcome them and was rude asking why my aunt had flowers and where they were going. I emailed her prior to my wedding day ASKING if it was okay first off and then telling her what we were bringing and where they would be going. The DJ didn’t get to the ceremony until 3:45 and it started at 4! Angela would not let him into the building. We previously had agreed that Angela would allow him in at 1:30 so he can set up before going to the ceremony so he would have enough time. It caused me to be very stressed out a half hour before I got married because the DJ wasn’t there and he was supposed to be there at 3. My sister was calling him in the limo on the way to my ceremony! Angela ignored my emailed twice about why the DJ wasn’t let in. Guests did not have good interactions with Angela or the other staff on my wedding day, they said they were rude and seemed to not care about how they spoke to guests. I did thank Angela at end of night to be polite but over the past few days talking to guests I keep getting more disappointed.

o perfect. Communication was always there. The amount of attention to detail they give is something you will not find everywhere. My husband and I were catered to the entire day by Seg (I’m sorry if I spell that wrong!) but what a great addition he is! My guests are still telling us weeks later how awesome everything was! Thank you again Angela, Maria and Nikki for a beautiful day!

wonderfully! Everyone had an incredible time and we took full use of the venue with guests raving about the outdoor space, views, and delicious food. I would book this venue again without hesitation and I really hope to attend a wedding here as a guest one day to experience the magic once again!!!!

econd of the night. I wish we could do it all over again!

s and family are still talking about my wedding and how good the food and everything was. I wish we could go back and do the whole day over again!

When it did it was the most perfect day even better than I imagined and I am so incredibly thankful that we decided to still do it.

y expectations! I never imagined it to be as perfect as it was… it was everything I wanted and more! Their location, staff, food, decorations, make you feel like you’re in a movie! For weeks after our wedding I had friends & family calling to tell me how much fun they had and how it was the BEST food they’ve ever had at a wedding!! Food was super important to us & the River Club does a A+ in that category! Honestly an A+ in everything! Beautiful venue, staff that go above & beyond, dream bridal suite and much much more! Thanks to The River Club, my Wedding Day was truly a dream come true! ❤️

w I would envision it was incredible. They also make sure that both the bride and the groom have everything they need and more. It truly was the best day we could have asked for! Don’t even get me started on the food though…. Everyone including myself and my husband rave that our wedding had the absolute best food at a wedding ever!!! So delicious! If I could, I would choose The River Club over and over again 100 times however no weddings are in our future again, one is enough! Thank you Angela, Nikki and the team for making our wedding the most magical night we could have ever asked for.

king. We have had so many guests get in touch with us to say how beautiful the venue is and how much they enjoyed the evening.

ith patience, care, and style. The venue is simply beautiful, and it is clear that the team maintains it meticulously. For our wedding, Angela also made sure to add special decorative touches to the venue that really upped the wow factor. We had a multi-cultural wedding, and the team did not hesitate to accommodate our traditions and our many food preferences. In fact, the team whipped up a special Greek dessert bar for us, and let me tell you, our guests couldn't get enough! They all took cups of the dessert home because it was just so delicious, as were the rest of the meals. Prior to our ceremony, we also experienced an unexpected change in the bridesmaid numbers, and Angela and the team did not skip a beat. They adapted and ushered in a perfect ceremony, like the seasoned professionals that they are. All of our guests couldn't stop talking about the beauty of the venue, the wonderful food, and the superb professionalism of the staff. All of this is true, but what impressed me the most was the beautiful kindness and gentleness of the team. It was a chilly day, and we took lots of photos outside and had an outdoor ceremony. I was shaking for some of the time (as I had expected ). But the team was constantly there for me, bringing me my scarf. and at times, even giving me their own coat to keep me warm. I felt supported, safe (security was great), and valued. I was truly amazed by how wonderful my experience was, and I'm sure you will be too. Have your wedding here - I promise you, it will be spectacular!

were also no issues whatsoever in postponing and everything was made seamless. Angela is amazing and definitely puts her brides first, especially the day of the wedding. It was so nice showing up the day of the wedding and not having to worry about a thing. Angela and her team are pros in this business and have this down to a science! You definitely do not need any sort of day of coordinator or anything. They take care of all the decorations, details, and most importantly the timeline! The food was amazing! Everyone commented on how good the food was. It was very important to me to have good food served at my wedding, which was one reason why I chose the river club. My husband’s sister and brother in law are kosher and after finding a kosher caterer to deliver a few meals, Angela took their contact information and made sure delivery and timing was all sorted out! Angela really was amazing and I can’t thank her enough for making my wedding the best day! It was well worth the wait.

d being nothing but positive through the whole process. When August 15th arrived, it was the most beautiful day, The venue was absolutely beautiful. The food was outstanding The Service was incredible We could not have asked for a better experience.

out there. Please do yourself a favor and check out this beyond beautiful venue and meet with this extremely talented and dedicated team. Xoxo ♥️

n come to life! Angela and and her team are amazing and really put the focus on the bride and groom above everyone else. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day or venue.

ng day dreams come true! The staff’s professionalism, talent, responsiveness, flexibility, understanding and friendliness is one of a kind. We immediately knew it was the venue for us upon our first visit there where we were welcomed with open arms and big smiles. Angela is a pleasure to work with and ensured everything went exactly as planned and exactly how we imagined, dreamed and hoped for. Seg is THE MAN and made us feel completely comfortable and at ease on our wedding day- he did everything we asked without hesitation and even anticipated our wants/needs without even needing to ask. All of our guests raved about their experience on our wedding day thanks to The River Club’s fabulous team. Postponing a wedding due to Covid is never easy but the River Club made it that much smoother and easier! We would recommend the River Club to anyone that wants the wedding of their dreams!!

of transition. They kept strong communication throughout the entire process, which is key in a vendor/client relationship. The property is an absolutely dream full with a fire pit, wrap around porch for cocktail hour and the perfect dance floor. I felt taken care of from the moment I signed the contract. They truly have your best interest in order to have the best wedding or event. The day-of was seamless with Niki as our concierge guiding guest and the bridal party to their designated places. Our cake was unfortunately imploded upon arrival but the River Club's chefs were able to magically manipulate it to look presentable just hours later. They saved us big time!!! I would highly recommend this venue for the team, the value and absolutely stunning grounds to make a picturesque wedding dream. Thanks River Club!!!

dding). I have two main reasons for removing two stars, areas that I think The River Club can improve on: 1) There is not nearly as much flexibility as I expected when I planned my wedding. Angela does things by the book and is very strict about certain things. We butted heads on a few topics during planning. That said, The River Club policies did loosen up a bit because of COVID, which helped. And Angela was incredibly accommodating when we postponed our wedding due to COVID. 2) There was some disorganization the day of the wedding. For example, when guests arrived, the staff was supposed to show the guests to their seats outside. We had a Ketubah ceremony for immediate family inside before the wedding ceremony, and I didn't want other guests to see me, the bride. For some reason, guests were piling inside as we were trying to have our special ceremony. They could see me on the other side of the room and were being loud/disruptive. I had to send family members over, multiple times, to try to get them removed. There were some other times where I was disappointed at the disorganization too, like guests told me that it took forever to get drinks at the bar. My mom complained that no one was assigned to make sure she always had a drink and was cared for, which she experienced for my brother's wedding at a different venue in the area. Additionally, some guests came to me and told me the staff were rude to them at times. Overall, I appreciate everything The River Club did and certain aspects were fantastic and what I dreamed of, but I have to be honest about the troubles I faced too.

e entire staff on the wedding day were spectacular. The sunset photos on the patio across the street to the landscape on the grounds is picturesque and perfect for wedding photos. The Cinderella stairs were just the icing on top. All the guests commented on how amazing the food was from apps to dessert. 10/10 recommend this venu.

right then and there because I loved the venue and the staff so much! They communicated with my constantly and would answer all my questions especially during covid! The venue is so beautiful that you know the decorating and set up is in great hands! I had to change my outdoor ceremony to be inside due to weather and they did such phenomenal job. I can't say enough good things about Angela and her team they were all so amazing and made my wedding run so smoothly and it looked perfect even with the last minute changes! Food was also absolutely great! All my guests had an amazing time!
