The Riverview

She was so organized, responded to our questions so quickly, and went above and beyond to accommodate our special requests! My husband and I did not have to worry about anything on our wedding day, Kayla made sure everything went perfectly and according to plan. All we did was show up and enjoy our day. The food & drinks were absolutely delicious – our guests are still talking about them! Every part of our day was perfect! We couldn’t be happier with our choice to go with the Riverview for our wedding!

entire team. Maureen was amazing to work from the beginning. She actually gave us two complete tours of the venue because once we went to visit with a friend and then wanted to show my parents before we made a venue commitment. Her patience was amazing and it was very clear in her sense of being that she enjoys what she does. Talking to and visiting other venues I felt like there was a sense of closing a sale, and this or that was how things are done. It was very different at the Riverview. Maureen made me feel at home and made me feel comfortable with all decision making from the very beginning. With Kayla, our day of coordinator, on her honeymoon a few weeks before our wedding, I also had the opportunity of working with Chelsea. Both women were beyond helpful and always easing any concerns I had. Chelsea kept me calm through so many emails when I had a few guest changes in the final weeks, and always made me feel my day would go perfectly. There are not enough good things I can say about the Riverview. Somehow I missed the entire espresso/cordials service we added onto our package as I danced the night away, chatted with guests and took pictures. Seeing how much fun our guests were having on the dance floor and picking up their Venetian table desserts and espresso in our wedding video, made it very clear a great time was had by all! The food was amazing, not one complaint from guests. My only complaint… I wish the night was longer! It was a very long day from hair/makeup in the wee hours to a church service and finally the reception… but I wish the party could have lasted even longer! I was sad to see the night end but truly had the time of my life and the day of my dreams. I cannot thank the staff at The Riverview enough. There are not enough Thank Yous or words to express how much I loved my wedding day and everything The Riverview did to bring my day to life! Another note, the space and layout at the Riverview was perfect. As we planned through the continued pandemic we wanted our guests to feel like they had enough space, and the entire space was perfect! A final note— in the planning process I learned it was our DJ’s birthday on our wedding. At some point I mentioned I wanted to wish him a happy birthday and possibly have a cupcake for him. I sort of forgot to mention again in the days before the wedding and that night that I wanted to do this. But the staff didn’t forget and a cupcake came out for our DJ and we all sang just after my husband and I cut the cake. It was perfect!! Just an example of how all the details I wanted were brought to life. I can honestly say, from organizing the escort card table to the memorial table and the pile of framed pictures I wanted displayed— the Riverview staff took all of the details I wanted and made them appear even better than I visioned. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I will always highly recommend The Riverview.

. The foliage for our on-site ceremony could have been out of a magazine. The ballroom with its floor to ceiling windows is so romantic. The staff is EXCEPTIONAL! Kayla our coordinator was extremely organized, had answers to every question we had, made sure our special day went seamlessly, and she always checked in to make sure we were having fun! And I can't say enough about the food and drinks, OMG! Our guests are still raving to us about everything from the cocktail hour to the cake and the spectacular dessert table. There was not one thing served that wasn't amazing. The Riverview was just so phenomenal and will always have a special place in our hearts. We can't recommend it enough!

y. Throughout the planning process, she was communicative and helpful. As we got closer to our wedding date, Kayla was our coordinator. She was great! Organized, responsive, willing to answer a billion questions. When Kayla went on her honeymoon, Chelsea took over, and was equally as amazing. She guided me through last-minute questions and concerns, and was a positive and calming presence on the day-of. The staff set up all our decor exactly as we imagined. The bridal attendants were phenomenal and attentive. The bartenders were fantastic. Our guests raved about the drinks, the food, and the space. The night was perfect, and we cannot recommend The Riverview more. If you throw your wedding there, please invite us.

d to make sure everything was exactly as we wanted it. She answers emails on a dime and offers great advice. I recommend The Riverview to everyone I know because I am truly so so so thankful to have had my wedding there!

ith them created a beautiful experience. The food was amazing and they were on point every step of the way.

ance, and our coordinator Kayla was wonderful. She was always reassuring and on top of every detail. The ceremony and reception were flawless, the food was phenomenal, and the staff worked so hard to give our guests an amazing evening. Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended! Perhaps the most amazing thing was that a friend lost a diamond (it fell out of the setting) and Amy at The Riverview found it the next morning by opening up the vacuum cleaner bags! Talk about above and beyond the call of duty. I am thrilled that we chose The Riverview, and I recommend them wholeheartedly.

hat really stood out to us was how hard the staff worked to keep everything organized and running smoothly. This venue thinks of every last detail, which made planning easier for my husband and me. We worked with Adam throughout the planning process, and he was so easy to communicate with and happy to answer any questions. On the day of the wedding, Adam was on top of everything, as was the rest of the amazing staff who worked with him.

lutely amazing, You can definitely tell they are a well oiled machine and have everything under control from the moment you get there. My husband and I did not have to worry about one single thing the day of our wedding we simply showed up and had so much fun. The staff were so attentive and delightful through the whole wedding. Adam deserves a special shout out for all the prep work, hive responsiveness, and ensuring that our day went on smoothly. If you’re looking to have a beautiful wedding, great service, with fantastic food and drinks then you should book The Riverview!

ough the doors on our wedding day everything was placed perfectly, the staff was SO attentive and catered to our every need. Even our guests noticed!! Our guests loved cocktail hour and their meals - the Italian cookies and egg sandwiches were an absolute hit! We could not recommend The Riverview more!!

, I never dreamed of how easy and stress free everything was. As for the ceremony space and the venue... It is absolutely beautiful. So many compliments from guests. Food was fantastic. All the horderves were perfect, so many guests complimented how great the filet mignon was. And our cake!! Beautifully done and delicious. Thank you for giving us our dream wedding.

ere SO amazing all night making sure our entire bridal party had what they needed. Even cooking one of my bridesmaids gluten free pasta on the spot. The decor was so tastefully done and everything we brought on our own was placed exactly where we asked. They packed up a bunch of food and cupcakes we had left over and as we were eating dinner they asked if I wanted anything I didn’t finish eating packed to go. Our guests and family continuously comment on how wonderful the evening was. Especially the spinach artichoke dip at the cocktail hour. All the food was excellent and great portions for everything! You MUST book your wedding here, you won’t regret it!!

f their couples and their guests. Kayla was our on-site coordinator and she was fantastic!! She was on top of everything never missing a beat and was a lot of fun to work with. Definitely get married here!

ith ease. The food was amazing and the dancefloor was the perfect size to fit all of our wild dancers. Kayla and her staff collaborated so smoothly with the vendors we booked. Everything was taken care of on our day for us (setup, cleanup and all organization). All we really had to do was show up and have fun... and with a venue like the Riverview, that was no problem at all!

and were so kind. Once we were told Kayla would be our coordinator, it kept getting better and better! Being an event planner myself, I kept nailing Kayla with question after question and she was also so kind and detailed in her responses. Come wedding weekend, we had the most perfect rehearsal. Our wedding was just AMAZING! Everything went so smoothly and the whole team helped so much with that. Kayla, her assistant, and the bridal attendants made sure we sat down to eat, and always had a drink in our hand. Even right after the ceremony they brought a plate of apps out to our bridal party as we were taking pictures. Every detail that they put into the day was fantastic. It was such a beautiful day, beautiful venue. Even a family member said that it was going to be the wedding to beat. And the food - phenomenal!!! My husband and I loved every second and wish that we can do it again!

spectacular. My guests said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. The night started and ended perfectly, and I am beyond happy with my experience. If you are looking for a wedding venue in the Simsbury/ Hartford county area, this is it. No need to look further. You won’t regret it!

off season. We had everything all in one place so we never once worried about having to pin down vendors or look elsewhere. My event manager, Kayla, was amazing as well as the day of bridal attendants, waitstaff, bartenders, etc. I never once worried about anything because I was so confident that Kayla and her team took care of anything. Both my husband and I would highly recommend the Riverview and I know all of our guests also had nothing but good things to say (especially about the variety of food, quality of food, drink options, location, and cake).

h less stressful. Could not recommend this venue highly enough!

menal- Kayla and her assistants were there to talk down my nerves as I was alone in the suite before walking down the aisle, they carried a plate of chicken fingers and French fries for me to munch on during photos, and all night long they were bringing me and my husband drinks. The food was delicious and the guests continue to tell me this months after our day. The guests also tell me how seamless everything was, which is 100% a reflection of the Riverview: they know exactly what they are doing! To think that this is what they offer for a price lower than most over venues we toured makes it even more amazing. Do not hesitate to book this venue!

arried anywhere else.

elpful and would consistently check to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. Our event coordinator Adam and manager Maureen took such great care of us. They made us feel right at home and delivered exceptional service. This venue is astonishingly beautiful, which is another reason to chose The Riverview. From the tall columns and marble flooring in the main entry lobby to the amazing window walls, this place stands out above the rest. The river view in the background was perfect with the fall foliage surrounding us as we took our wedding photos. This venue is truly enchanting and beautiful. We are so happy we decided to get married at The Riverview . We would highly recommend them if you are looking for venues for an event. Whether it is a wedding, anniversary, big milestone birthday celebration or even a holiday party, The Riverview will deliver only the best. We would personally like to thank all of The Riverview staff and management team for making all of our wedding dreams a reality.

ary restrictions situations where they collaborated seamlessly with an outside vendor to make sure our 10 strict kosher guests had a good meal. In the end, our event was flawless. From ceremony to reception, Kayla and our two bridal attendants were a step ahead of our every move, and it truly could not have gone more smoothly. My wife and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day.

y was seamless and perfect. The food was delicious, the bartender was fun and fast, and the staff were so attentive to us and our guests. Don’t even get us started about the delicious funfetti wedding cake. We cannot say enough how impressed we were with how our dreams came to life because of The Riverview team.
