The River Club

WOW -- what a venue, what a team! I can not say enough about Angela and her team, they worked there butts off to make our day everything we dreamed of, from the service, to the decor, to the food, to the landscaping -- all of it was top notch!! Angela was right on the money... Read More the whole time, she really knows what she is doing and following her lead made our day run so smoothly and stress free! I thought it was weird to have meetings so far away from the big day and to deliver things about 2 weeks in advance, but boy was I very wrong -- I can not imagine doing it any other way, as it really made me prepared and gave me the week before my wedding to do so many other things, including much needed relaxing. At first I was not sure what I would do with a concierge, but Seg was literally the BEST! He was so professional and helpful and was there smiling with us all night long for everything and anything, any one in the wedding party needed. He got us drinks and held our flowers and even took boomerangs for us! This team is so professional, especially on the day it really matters. The venue was so amazing, and Angela had all sorts of little surprises I hadn't even thought off -- like petals down the aisle-- so sweet <3. Guests raved about the food (we got chic cordon bleu and scrod). Basically I think this venue and its staff are amazing to work with and that they will not disappoint.

I can't even believe our wedding night was real. It still feels like a dream! Literally everything was 100% perfect. Every weather forecast we could find called for rain all night, but somehow the rain let up just enough that it was ALMOST nice enough to have the wedding... Read More outside. Angela quickly stepped in and got everyone out to their seats and we started the ceremony early.. and just in time! As I walked up the stairs, the sun came out and the rain stopped completely. It was literally the most amazing moment of my life! Everything went completely smoothly from the ceremony to the reception. The wait staff was INCREDIBLE. Seg, who was our attendant for the night, was SO funny and SO helpful. We absolutely loved him! The bartenders were fantastic. Food was served so quickly and flawlessly. All of our vendors worked together harmoniously. It was honestly the best wedding I have ever been to (and I've been to well over 100... because I'm a wedding photographer!) Angela and her team went above and beyond to make our wedding the best night of our lives. I wouldn't change a single thing! Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who made our night perfect!

The Rive Club-Exceptional

I fell upon the River Club by chance. We were riding by and my mom asked me to just look at it. We had no appointment and drove up the beautiful drive to this stunning building with a white gazebo. We got out of the car and just started peering through the windows. Immediately I... Read More was blown away the elegance of the room and the space (3 separate rooms). Angela (the owner) saw us and graciously invited us in. She took the time to show us the space, talk to us about the venue and the amenities and even checked to see if they could accommodate my date (they could!). I left just knowing this was the right space and returned the following day with a deposit. My experience with Angela and the River Club since that first moment in September has been amazing. I truly feel as though I have become apart of Angela’s family. From inviting me to see the space numerous times to try out different centerpieces and table overlays to masterfully decorating the two stunning fireplaces in the cocktail room and main ballroom that I am using for my wedding and taking a personal interest in my ideas and helping with the seating plan, I could not be more overjoyed at the hospitality of the River Club. I feel completely at peace knowing that my wedding will be stunning and that Angela has my best interests at heart. I do not feel like another bride I feel apart of the family. This has been the best experience I have ever had. The personal touch that Angela and the River Club give to people makes this day even more special. A beautiful mahogany bar in one room (so bar shots do not end up in your photos), a long, cocktail space with a stone fire place and white baby Grande piano and a big ballroom that is bright and warm with another stone fireplace and stage for the band or DJ. The food was exceptional. I love my reception venue and I don’t think there is any place on the south shore or Boston that can match the love and care that Angela will put into your personal wedding day.

The River Club was my first choice and the first venue I went to look at. When I walked in and met Angela I just knew from the start this was where I wanted to have my winter wonderland wedding. Angela and the staff made all my dreams come true! From the beautiful winter decor,... Read More to the food, amazing staff, and my s'mores and mashed potato bar! My guests were raving for weeks after! The only thing my husband and I wanted was to be able to enjoy every minute of our day, and Angela made this happen. We got to enjoy our delicious entree's, dance the night away, take memorable photos, have our signature cocktails, and make magical memories. The River Club staff made all our wedding dreams to come true and I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for 5 star food, drinks, service, location, cleanliness, and overall look. I couldn't have asked for anything more and can't wait to go back!

My husband and I would absolutely recommend having your wedding at the River Club. We looked at over a dozen venues on the South Shore but thankfully the decision was easy. The River Club is gorgeous and very spacious. I loved the fireplaces and lighting for our fall wedding.... Read More But the wrap around deck and all the windows would be so great in the spring/summer. The food was great. It was so difficult to pick only three options for our seated dinner after the food tasting. Angela is so experienced with weddings. She was incredibly flexible with what we wanted (open bar options, set up of the room, linens etc.) and made us feel so comfortable that our reception would be completely taken care of. The River Club was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding!

This venue is beautiful and our wedding was absolutely lovely. The guests had a fantastic time and we have excellent memories. It's reasonably priced and a good value for the money. I have to agree with some of the earlier posts about Angela - she is extremely sweet to deal... Read More with in person and was very responsive up until the time we signed the contract - but as soon as we signed our contract, she went into a dark hole. I had several questions that I wanted to get answers to so that I could plan appropriately and it took 5 months to get her to respond - in some cases it was too late. On the day of the wedding she was absolutely lovely to me - but several my friends who were helping me with logistics have come back to me with some really negative feedback about how they were treated by Angela. I think this is a shame, honestly because it was the only shadow on this beautiful day. The food at the River Club is moderate - nothing to write home about but decent . They do have a very awesome guest house on property which we used for the after party - it's a fantastic option for any couple. It was very heavily perfumed when we arrived and several of my guests became ill from the perfume as it had permeated sheets and pillows - we aired the place out over night and it was survivable after that. I don't regret a thing about my choice of location - I think as long as you know what you are getting into with this place, and you don't mind the shortfalls, you will be fine.

We cannot say enough good things about The River Club! Angela was so on top of helping us plan every aspect of the ceremony, dinner, and reception, especially as we were planning from afar and could only make a few trips back to finalize details. She and her team truly know how... Read More to put together a great event and were very accommodating, timely and professional in every way. The food was wonderful and the venue was perfect for our special day!

The River Club is a great, relatively affordable option for a wedding reception. I was initially attracted by the fact that there isn't a room rental fee or minimum charges like other venues I looked at. Their prices are very reasonable and you get good bang for your buck. It's... Read More not anything too fancy, but it's cozy and was the perfect size for our approx. 100 person wedding. The food is decent, but the options are fairly standard. If you want more "foodie"-type food, you'll need a venue where you can bring in your own caterer. Angela was helpful and nice, and I never had any communication issues with her. Although I will echo another reviewer that we also felt a little rushed out of the venue (I understood that we started a little early and thus needed to end early, but the DJ was told to announce that the bus was there nearly an hour before it was scheduled to leave...) Overall, we had a good experience at The River Club and I would recommend it to other couples, particularly if you're on a budget but still want a cute venue.

We were married earlier this month at the River Club- it was a dream! We looked at several venues on the south shore- this was by far the best choice for us. We felt the pricing was very fair and comparable for the area- we had many choices to help us stay in budget. Angela was... Read More very attentive and helpful throughout the process and very organized with our event. She was so considerate about showing the venue to our friends and family before we decided to book. The day of the wedding went very smoothly! Everything was taken care of- I got to hang out in the bridal suite and relax before the ceremony. Bonus- there are multiple beaches within 5-10 minutes for taking beautiful photos! Cant say enough about how wonderful this venue was!

I can't begin to say how amazing our wedding was! When my husband and I first pulled into The River Club it was exactly what we were looking for! Close to the water, absolutely beautiful indoors and out! Angela was absolutely amazing the ENTIRE planning process and made sure she... Read More knew exactly what we wanted and helped us with areas that we were unsure of. I never expected the treatment we received on our big day - ROYALTY! They made sure that we had everything we needed/wanted and that everything went smoothly. Our dreams absolutely came true that day and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone!

Our Wedding Day was more perfect then we imagined. Angela was great from day one straight on through the end of our Special Day, she was a huge asset in the planning stages and her staff during our Ceremony/Reception were incredible. The River Club is an amazing venue in a... Read More perfect setting and my husband and I cannot thank Angela enough for making our day unforgettable. We would choose The River Club 10 times out of 10!

My husband and I had our wedding at The River Club this past spring. Angela, our wedding planner, was the most helpful and caring person. I looked at numerous venues in the south shore area and the minute I met Angela I knew it was going to be a smooth ride. The venue has a... Read More rustic theme with two beautiful fire places. The day of our wedding ended up being a little chilly but it made it that much cozier with the rustic look. It truly is a magical place and I would recommend The River Club to any future couples!!

We had our wedding at The River Club earlier this month and we could not have been happier. Angela and her team are so professional - I didn't have to worry about a thing during the entire planning process and especially during our wedding - they had it completely under control.... Read More The venue itself is stunning and really lends itself to a party atmosphere! From what I ate and from what I heard from guests, the food was great! I can't say enough about this venue - it really was the perfect place for us to celebrate our wedding.

The venue is absolutely beautiful, the food is delicious and the staff were wonderful, but we consistently found one exception to that, Angela, who is in charge of the venue. Before we booked with her she'd respond to emails within hours, but after we booked with her it would... Read More take days and multiple emails to get a simple question answered. I had to remind her on multiple occasions that my mom was dead (which is hard enough for a bride planning her wedding but to have to explain it to Angela over and over again made it even worse, and every other vendor we dealt with was careful to take note of this fact). Our wedding was on a Sunday and she said the only option for a rehearsal was Thursday even though none of our bridal party or family would be in town until Friday. I understand that she has other events booked for that weekend but she didn't seem to care or offer any kind of alternative solution when I told her Thursday wouldn't work for us. She insisted that I bring all decorations to the venue two weeks before the wedding, but she wasn't able to be there. When we dropped them off she said she'd have an assistant meet us. When we got there we were greeted by the groundskeeper who was nice but wasn't able to answer any of our questions. I labeled all of our decorations with notes so Angela would know where they went but when I emailed her a few days after I dropped them off asking if she had any questions about my notes I got an email a few days later saying she hadn't looked at the stuff yet. As of two days before the wedding she hadn't looked at any of my notes so when I arrived on my wedding day I had to walk around and make sure everything was in its place since I didn't have confidence that Angela had followed my directions. Our reception was scheduled to end at 9pm and at the end of the night Angela was practically pushing us out the door. She made us and our guests feel so rushed out the door that our guests weren't able to stay to see my husband and off in our getaway car. Once we got in the car we looked at the time and saw it was only 9:15pm! I understand wanting the reception to end on time so the staff can clean up but we all felt so rushed out of there! Angela told my aunt and my brother that she'd ask her staff to help carry stuff (ex. gifts, decorations) out to the cars but really they just carried it just outside and left it on the curb. It was very obvious Angela was done with us and wanted us all out ASAP. As I said, the venue was beautiful, the wedding was perfect, everyone had a blast at the reception and of the staff was wonderful but if you book The River Club you should know that Angela’s coarse and uncaring attitude added to our stress level many times throughout the process. We would have liked to not have been treated as a number, but instead been shown much more care or personal interest. Luckily, the wedding was wonderful, and we are a very laid back couple that was able to contend with this, but just know what you might be getting into in terms of the person you’ll be dealing with.

Angela, the owner and coordinator, was able to take my husband's and my wishes for our wedding and bring them to life with little direction from us. I had so much anxiety about the centerpieces and decor being set up to our liking, but when I saw the room, I was relieved to see... Read More everything was so beautiful and perfect! Angela kept everything running smoothly, coordinating with the other vendors for us, and her team was very attentive to the wedding party and to any of our special requests. We were so thankful she allowed our dog to be a part of our ceremony, too. We heard so many compliments on how delicious the dinner options were. My only complaint was it was sometimes difficult to get a hold of Angela, as her voice mailbox was full and her responses to email weren't always timely. As an anxious bride, it would have eased my nerves to be able to get a hold of Angela in a more timely manner. But everything worked out perfectly in the end!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! When I say that I literally could not have wished for a more perfect wedding, I'm not exaggerating. Angela was OVER THE TOP amazing to work with. So organized and went above & beyond everything I asked for. The day of the wedding was... Read More so organized and there were so many people who took care of everything for me that I had not a single thing to concentrate on or worry about. Angela made the room more beautiful than I ever imagined it could be. She was so considerate of every idea I had, she even went as far as to order accent details that I didnt even know I wanted, but once I saw it, was blown away. The affordability of this compared to other venues on top of the quality this place offers, literally can't be beat. If I could write a book thanking & complimenting them, I would. Every last detail was amazing & our friends & family all agree! The most perfect day of my life!

Thanks to Angela and her team, my wedding was amazing!!! From the beginning, Angela was helpful in every single way. She never made me feel pressured to make a decision. She quickly responded to every email I sent her. On the big day, Angela and her team made everything run so... Read More smoothly. The food was amazing! I knew it was good from the food tasting but it was even better the day of. My guests loved the venue! I was so nervous that I wouldn't be able to fit 237 people in there but we all fit and were comfortable the whole night! The fact that we were the only party on the premise really made the night even better. I still can't get over how great everything was. Thank you Angela and team for making my wedding the best day of my life!

Angela was the best! From beginning to end, everything was so easy & perfect. All within budget!! Great venue and the price is unbeatable. Would highly suggest to anyone! Definitely rent the house on the property for the wedding weekend. She rents it to the bride & groom.... Read More Great to get ready and have a place to go afterwards. We stayed the night prior to the wedding and the wedding night. Got all settled in before, made the experience great!! Thanks for making my wedding so perfect in every way :) The Gustafsons 06.18.16

From the moment i saw the rive club online i knew i wanted it to be my venue right away. it did not disappoint at all. from the minute i walked in to the venue and met Angela, the wedding coordinator and owner, she was so friendly and personable. each and every time after that... Read More she would always offer my now husband and i a big welcoming hug. throughout the whole process she was so accommodating and went out of her way. we rented the onsite river club house from thursday to Sunday. it was a nice four bedroom house that had two big living rooms and was nice and spacious. this was a big help because we had the rehearsal dinner that Thursday. after an amazing Italian dinner( different menu than wedding day ) we were all able to go back up to the house and continue to hang out after the rehearsal. the house was amazing to have because my bridesmaids and i were able to get ready there the day of the wedding. it was so convenient and great to have. the day of the wedding was so prefect. it was everything i wanted and was set up perfectly. throughout the whole wedding Angela and her staff were very attentive. during photos she would ask if my husband or i would want a drink or need anything. everything went according to plan and were able to have so much time for dancing. i would definitely recommend having your wedding here . it is the perfect venue and location on the south shore. thank you so much again for everything to Angela and the river club .

My son and daughter-in-law got married at the River Club this past April. What a joy it was to not only see them get married but to see them have a beautiful day. We are from the south and my daughter-in-law is from the south shore. We didn't know what to expect from a venue we... Read More haven't seen, but The River Club exceeded our expectations. From the minute you entered the building to the food it was an all around spectacular day. The weather wasn't the greatest but they got married in front of this beautiful stone fireplace. Another thing I noticed, was how helpful all the staff was. The bartenders were very energetic and the bride and groom even had their own waiter. I forget his name (I think it's Efrom) and he made sure my son and daughter-in-law had everything they needed. I want everyone who sees this review to know I truly recommend the River Club to any future bride and groom.

Amazing!

We are so happy we chose The River Club as our venue for our September 19th wedding. Angela and her staff are the nicest, easiest, and accommodating people to work with. Angela is available to help you with any questions you need and stands by you during the entire planning... Read More process up until you walk down the aisle! The grounds are absolutely stunning and well maintained! You will not be disappointed if you chose the River Club!

My husband and I wanted a winter/spring wedding somewhere in the south shore. We looked at many different venues but the minute we walked into The River Club, we knew it was the one. Our vision was getting married somewhere inside, in a cozy atmosphere, and the fireplace at the... Read More River Club was exactly what we were looking for. It's absolutely beautiful and Angela, the wedding planner, made our journey even more magnificent. In my mind I wanted to a hire a wedding planner, but Angela was with us each step of the way to give us details and her best knowledge on how to make our day perfect. For our guests, I selected the chicken cordon bleu and filet mignon and it was to die for!!! I can't say enough about the River Club and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have "The Perfect Day". Thank you Angela and to all the staff for making my day perfect.

On behalf of our families, I wanted to again express our gratitude to Angela, George, and the staff for their efforts toward our daughter's wonderful wedding reception. So much time and effort goes into the planning of such an important event that expectations are especially... Read More high. Angela and Efram along with the River Club staff did not disappoint. From the first moment we met, we knew we were placing our trust in capable hands. Angela exudes warmth and caring and we appreciated her attention to all the little details that make an event so special and memorable and Efram displays the quiet, calm demeanor that puts everyone at ease. The River Club offered the perfect venue for our reception. The grounds looked beautiful and the venue suited the vision our daughter & son-in-law had for their wedding reception. The placement and arrangement of all of wedding accessories was handled with care and executed to perfection. We received effusive comments from our guests on the delicious food and service, how beautiful everything looked, and how accommodating staff was to all. The bride & groom remarked on the attention the staff provided to their needs and wishes. From beginning to end, the reception was a magical evening that made dreams come true! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I cannot express how amazing The River Club was! We dealt with the owner/wedding planner, Angela and she helped us throughout the whole process! She understood we had no idea what we were doing and she guided us along the way the whole time. The food was exceptional, the staff... Read More was amazing, we also went across the street for pictures where our pictures came out absolutely breathtaking! Definitely an amazing place to have a wedding!

The River Club logo is "where dreams come true" and I could not have said it better myself! My husband and I had the best day of our lives all thanks to Angela, George and her wonderful staff! The food was incredible, the staff was warm and welcoming, and our guests raved about... Read More it! They gave us everything we ever wanted and this is the perfect place to have your wedding!
