The Riverview

Everyone was top notch. Chelsea our wedding planner was over the top with her communication, advise, etc. Helped make the day that much better!! The venue itself was beautiful and sooo worth more than we paid.....

My husband and I loved the Riverview from our first tour. They were extremely accommodating with any requests. Our coordinator answered my questions extremely timely throughout the process. On the day of our wedding, they were fantastic as well. Chelsea (our coordinator), the bridal attendants, and the waitstaff were fantastic. They were always checking in with us to ensure all was going smoothly, which we were really appreciative of. Chelsea and Morgan (one of the bridal attendants) were incredible. Morgan helped me with my dress as we were taking pictures, she helped bustle my dress, and was always checking in with me to see if I needed anything. It was so comforting! Alicia (our bartender) was also incredible! My guests and bridal party were raving about how sweet and funny she was. We really appreciated her I would absolutely recommend hosting your wedding or event at the Riverview. They take A LOT of stress out of the event and make sure everything runs smoothly. Thank you Chelsea, Morgan, Alicia, and the rest of the team!!!!

My coordinator Kayla was very responsive via email for the hundreds of questions I had! Literally everything was done for me the day of the wedding by my coordinator, bridal attendants, and staff. The only complaint my guests had was the noise throughout the entire ceremony of staff moving plates, silverware, filling glasses with water, and even dropping some of these items behind the curtain. I understand they have to get the tables ready for the reception, but it was distracting and made it hard for some guests to hear the ceremony speeches. Some guests also complained their filet was very overcooked. I personally did not notice either of these but just wanted to throw my guests POV out there as well to fix for future weddings!

Hiring the Riverview in Simsbury, CT was the BEST decision we made in preparation for our big day! Kayla, our wedding coordinator, was communicative and was sure to answer any question that arose. We were given great recommendations for other vendors as well. Then, on the night of the event, the staff handled everything with such professionalism and expertise! Everyone at the Riverview was courteous, attentive, and reliable! They asked us if we needed anything, packed up food, kept our gifts safe, and made sure that we were happy! We truly felt that we were in the best of hands. The Riverview provides the ultimate wedding experience and we would highly recommend this venue!

From the first time we walked into the Riverview, it was THE place where everything went right. The months of planning leading up to our wedding, when we had meetings or emails with Kayla and Meghan at the Riverview, it was always pleasant and easy - they were wonderful to work with. Even though the precedent of high quality and extremely pleasant interactions was set, I couldn't have predicted that it could get better. Kayla and Meghan led the way and our personal bridal attendants, Damani and Stephon were like mindreaders, on top of every possible need or want we had and there to provide for us before we even knew what we needed. Everything from hot tea on a cold day to sewing my maid of honor into her dress because of a stuck zipper. Aside from the venue being absolutely beautiful, the food being amazing and delicious and and the price actually being much better than I thought it would be for a wedding of 125, the staff were amazing and went above and beyond for us in every possible way. You will be SO happy you chose this place. I would do it again a million times with them in our corner!

The Riverview was amazing! My husband and I had our wedding there on 10/21/23 and we couldn't have asked for a better venue. Our coordinator Kayla was super helpful with answering any questions that we had and always got back to us in a timely manner. The day of our wedding, Kayla and our assistant coordinator Meghan ensured everything went smoothly. Our two bridal attendants, Stephon and Mackenzie, were wonderful!!! They were both so kind and always made sure my husband and I had something to drink or to eat. Special shoutout to Mackenzie for carrying the train of my dress in the pouring rain and for making it look easy to bustle my dress! All of the Riverview staff did a fantastic job with setting up our decorations for all of the dining tables, the memory table, guest book table, and place card table. Everything was packed up for us at the end of the night and it was really nice to be able to just put everything in our car afterwards. The food at the Riverview was absolutely delicious!!! From the hors d'oeuvres to the 3 course lunch to the dessert, everything tasted so good! We also got the add-on Viennese table for dessert, which all of our guests loved. The Riverview was incredibly accommodating towards food allergies that our guests had and put out labels at the Viennese table of any potential allergens in the desserts. It was a perfect day and we cannot thank the Riverview enough for making it possible!

The Riverview was great to work with. Leading up to the wedding (06/04/2023) we had no problems contacting our coordinator Adam and he was able to answer any questions we had. The rehearsal ended up on a Thursday night for our Sunday wedding, but we were able to drop off most of the decor items and go over the ceremony plans. We had DIYed centerpieces and ceremony decor and they were able to put it all out for us day of (pre-assembled) and helped put everything in our car the night of the wedding. We also had 2 bridal assistants that checked on us throughout the night, making sure we had food and drinks and helping bustle my dress and get tissues when I cried happy tears. Overall, the venue was beautiful, and we were glad we could have the ceremony outside but protect our guests from too much sun, or any possible rain. Other venues having poor back up plans for rain is a big reason we did not select some of the others we looked at. The Riverview helped to make sure things when exactly how we wanted through the night, and we were happy with how everything turned out.

Having our wedding at The Riverview was fantastic! We are so glad we chose them to host our big day! The staff was very experienced and attentive to details, often prompting us to think about things we hadn’t before. Kayla was our coordinator and very on top of things. The food was great, and a beautiful location for pictures. With the tent outside weather was never a concern for us, and the day turned out wonderful! We would highly recommend The Riverview to anyone!

The moment we visited The Riverview we knew it was perfect for our wedding. All inclusive, outdoor ceremony space (with coverage in case of rain), beautiful landscape with Farmington River backdrop, easy parking situation with separate entrance to ceremony space that avoids stairs if needed. They really thought of it all here. The ballroom is gorgeous, huge chandeliers and windows with uplighting. It’s a dream! The food is amazing!! (And I’m not just saying that, our guests were so impressed). Our bartenders were friendly and fast!! Our guests said they never had to wait in line. The bridal suite is the perfect getaway and was kept up with champagne, water and food! Kayla was our coordinator and she checked in on us throughout the whole day and during the whole process. She handled any small hiccups we had with urgency and ease. If you’re looking for a venue that will ensure you’re in good hands, this is it!! Thank you!

100000/10 stars!! My husband and I had our wedding here on 8/20/23 and it was an incredible, magical day. The ceremony and reception spaces are so beautiful, which is what drew us here in the first place. Guests were very happy with the food, desserts, drinks etc. We’re still getting compliments from family and friends on how great the wedding was! Kayla was our event coordinator, she is so sweet and helpful, did an amazing job running the event and making sure things went smoothly, we can’t thank her enough. Also, Stefan (hope I’m spelling that right!) was my bridal attendant, he was so great, kept me calm when I was getting nervous, brought drinks to me and hubs throughout the night, he is definitely the kind of person you want helping you out! We were so impressed with everything that Riverview did for us, the staff are amazing, they help you take care of so many things…book your wedding here, you’ll be so happy you did!!

There’s simply not enough words to express how amazing the Riverview truly is, Adam helped us every step of the way they support you in everything to truly make your day perfect. SO many family members expressed to me that this was the best wedding food they have ever had at a wedding and the nicest venue they have ever seen. It was truly perfect, they are there to support you all day in anything you need they kept everything running smoothly and perfectly, our bridal attendants were amazing, the cake was phenomenal we even got our cookie favors done by the Riverview and I had several people reach out and ask where we got the cookies because they wanted more! It was just everything I ever dreamed for my wedding and it’s thanks in large part to the Riverview and all the fantastic people who work there.

Our wedding at The Riverview was an absolute dream! We simply could not have asked for a more perfect venue or location for our wedding reception. Riverview was the first venue we toured, and we had a remarkable experience meeting with Maureen and discussing the wedding of our dreams. We left there with two other local venues to tour, and made our way back to Riverview. The other venues simply could not compare or compete with what Riverview had to offer and the beautiful venue! We knew instantly that we were in good hands. Our wedding-coordinator, Kayla, was simply amazing. She was so attentive to detail and very responsive. She is so personable and friendly, and made it a true pleasure and joy to plan our wedding details with her. She made it such a seamless and smooth process, and everything happened so perfectly the day of our reception thanks to Kayla and the bridal team. Our two bridal attendants were very sweet and friendly, and always made sure that we had a drink in our hands and ate every food item that was served. The food was top notch and simply exceptional. We loved how our bridal attendants and Kayla stopped us at every point in the night when a new meal was served to ensure that we sat down and ate. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have eaten the entire evening as we were having so much fun. Our guests raved, and continue to rave, about how exceptional the food was. Our review could go on and on describing simply how amazing, wonderful and incredible the entire team is at Riverview, and the top notch venue for a dream of a wedding. We couldn't be happier with our choice. Every detail and aspect that Riverview had to offer exceeded our expectations, which resulted in the wedding of our dreams and a perfect wedding day. We keep reliving the evening in our minds and are forever grateful for Riverview. Thank you, Riverview, Maureen and Kayla for making our wedding day truly amazing, special and unforgettable. We highly recommend The Riverview for your wedding venue needs!

Above and beyond. There’s so much to say and I can’t tell it all. We planned our wedding in 3 months! First, was our site tour. Being an hour away with a tight schedule Meghan accommodated us and stayed late just so we could do the site tour. Meghan was such a delight, full of energy and enthusiasm that I wanted to work there. The space was gorgeous. We loved the huge windows and high ceilings. It was so elegant we didn’t have to decorate. The ceremony space was ideal with a beautiful tent. The bar and outside bistro setting was icing on the cake. We booked the following week. Then we got a letter and email from Adam introducing himself and scheduled our menu meeting (which was a week after the tasting event). When we got to the tasting event, we were not on the list. But Maureen and the staff barely batted an eye and escorted us to a table and away we went. The food was incredibly delicious. We don’t go out to dinner often because I cook and cook well. The appetizers and main dishes were amazing. I still think about the mashed potatoes with the filet mignon. The staff was on top of everything and it was the tasting! We left with our cupcakes and frosting/fillings to try at home. To my dismay there was no red velvet cupcake which is what I knew was going to be our cake. We tried the others. I emailed Adam and explained what happened. He talked with their pastry chef. When we showed up for our meeting a week later, there were two red velvet cupcakes on the desk made especially for us that day! They were so fluffy and delicious. I even gave feedback on the cream cheese filling and on the day of, the filling was exactly what I wanted. My bridesmaid still raves about the cake, she had two slices. Throughout the planning Adam was patient and always responsive. I emailed him a lot. The day of our drop off we were 5 hours late. I was a mess. I called ahead to let them know. They were so supportive and encouraging. When we finally arrived, at the beginning of another event, they were so accommodating and we went through everything for the next day. While doing so, Adam popped in to see us and make sure we were ok and assured us everything was going to work out and be great. The day of was just perfect. We had 167 people. We got so many compliments about the beauty of the venue inside and out, the food, the bar, the staff. My FIL was amazed with Adam, who seemed to have cloned himself because he was just everywhere. Our attendants Sarah and Will were wonderful. The staff even rearranged our picture frame favors/escort cards at my request as I stood waiting to walk out to the ceremony. Adam and the team at The Riverview took care of everything, we could not have asked for anything more.

Our wedding at The Riverview was an absolute dream come true. From the moment we booked the venue, we knew we were in good hands. Adam, our day-of coordinator, was exceptional. He was always there to lend a helping hand, and his responsiveness was truly impressive. Not only was the venue visually stunning, but the food was also exceptional. The culinary team went above and beyond to create a fantastic menu that left our guests raving. Our special little request for "fried pickles" was top-notch! One of the standout moments was when we had to make a quick change in plans due to unexpected weather. The staff at The Riverview handled it seamlessly, accommodating our needs without any issues. Their flexibility and willingness to make our day perfect, despite the circumstances, were truly appreciated. We couldn't be happier with our choice of venue. Every aspect, from the attentive staff to the beautiful setting, exceeded our expectations. Our wedding day was flawless, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you, The Riverview and Adam, for making our wedding day an unforgettable experience!

The Riverview exceeded our expectations. I can not say enough about the excellent service received by this venue. Since the first time we met with Maureen to the preparation for the wedding with our coordinator Kayla, our experience has been outstanding. Thank you, Kayla, for your professionalism and patience and for making our day the best.

We were married at the Riverview at the end of March. I looked at 15 venues (a lot I know) and Riverview was number 15. From the moment I stepped in , every person in the team made me feel like I was just as important as every bride that walked in. Working with Maureen and Adam was fantastic. They weren't pushy and offered so much in their packages, it was really decided before I ever left my first meeting. The venue is not only stunning, but the attention to detail they had was incomparable. Once the big day got here, I was a bundle of nerves and the attentiveness of Adam and his team was unheard of. I felt ever moment I needed anything, someone was there. From set up, ceremony to the end of the reception not a single decoration was missed or forgotten which is almost unheard of. Even at breakdown, we were never rushed. My week leading of the wedding at Riverview was unforgettable and perfect. Their contribution to the joy my husband and I felt that weekend was partly attributed to their superior service. Thank you for the memories and making our day everything we had hoped and more!

The Riverview is seriously the best ever! From the moment we started communicating with them, they were so helpful with everything. No matter how many questions I had for Adam, he got back to my quickly and helped so much along the way. We live out of state, which isn't easy when planning a wedding, but everyone always made sure we had the answers we needed. Their recommendations for vendors were also amazing. And the day of the wedding was PERFECT! They made sure everything was set up and looked great, even the items we brought for decorations. Our bridal party and guests were so well taken care of. We still have guests who talk to us about how tasty the food was! I could go on and on. The Riverview is truly incredible!

The Riverview is an amazing venue! Adam, Maureen, and the entire team were helpful from start to finish. They coordinated with our other vendors, took care of so many details behind the scenes, and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of. I would highly recommend the Riverview!

The day we walked into The Riverview, we knew this is where we wanted to get married. This venue is absolutely gorgeous and exceeded all expectations. We got married on 3/11 and had the most perfect day. Kayla and her team were phenomenal. They were all so helpful and attentive the entire day. The staff had our signature drinks waiting for us after we said "I do" and continued to make sure we had everything we needed the entire night! Huge thank you to everyone who helped make our day perfect!! The entire staff at The Riverview deserves to be acknowledged as well. I would highly recommend having your wedding here!!

From the moment we walked into the Riverview we knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding – the venue is beautiful! After speaking with Maureen, we were sold. Everyone we worked with was EXCEPTIONAL! Kayla, our coordinator, was fantastic! 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!

Kayla and the whole team there made our day seamless. Any hiccup that may have happened went unnoticed by the whole bridal party and guests. The space was stunning alone so that made for a picture-perfect day!!

My husband Carlos & I enjoyed the wedding of our dreams back on December 3rd, 2022. Between the wedding, honeymoon, holidays, catching Covid— the last month has been extremely busy and a HUGE thanks is owned to Maureen, Chelsea, Kayla and their 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.

Having our wedding at The Riverview was nothing short of magical. As soon as we spoke to Maureen we were sold on booking this as our venue, and it was the best decision we could have made. It was the perfect October wedding space inside and out. 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!

We got married last night at The Riverview, and everything was perfect. From the day we visited, Maureen was a delight. The venue is beautiful and stands on its own, but Maureen sealed the deal-- she was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and friendly. 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.

The Riverview is the most beautiful venue. Every part of my wedding was so special and amazing thanks to this place. Every person I worked with from booking, to organizing, to the day of was perfect. Our coordinator, Kayla, went above and beyond 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!

The Riverview was a beautiful venue and everything we dreamed it would be for our wedding. The weather was beautiful in October and it created a gorgeous landscape. The Riverview was there throughout the entire ceremony and reception, working with them created a beautiful experience. The food was amazing and they were on point every step of the way.

Choosing The Riverview was the best decision we could have made! From the very beginning, the entire staff is friendly, warm and responsive, and you immediately know you are in good hands. My daughter was planning a lot of the wedding long distance, 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.

The Riverview is an amazing venue with fantastic staff! My husband and I chose the venue for the beautiful view, which we took advantage of by having a daytime wedding. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was, but what 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.

I cannot say enough great things about The Riverview! My husband and I got married there on October 16 and I still have not stopped receiving compliments regarding the venue, the service, drinks, food, etc. Adam and the Riverview team were absolutely 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!

My husband and I got married on 10/21/22 and to say the day was magical would be an understatement! From the very start Maureen and Meghan made us feel so welcome and overjoyed to be having our wedding at the Riverview. The moment we walked through 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!!

Our wedding was October 1st 2022 with Adam as our coordinator. Everything went absolutely perfect. Adam was so helpful and made everything run so smoothly. From the day we booked the venue to, loading up our cars at the end of the wedding night, 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.

My husband and I got married just 3 days ago and I could not wait to write this review! From booking with Maureen to working with our coordinator Adam and all the bridal attendants, we had the absolute best experience. Adam and the attendants were 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!!

The Riverview was the absolute best place to hold our wedding of 130 people. It was beautiful especially at night and service was fantastic. From the first tour until the end of our reception, we felt special. The venue knows how to take care of 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!

The Riverview was the most amazing venue. We hit the jackpot with Kayla as our coordinator. She responded to our emails in a timely manner and went above and beyond to make all of our requests a reality. Kayla and her staff handled everything with 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!

I cannot recommend The Riverview enough! From start to finish, the entire experience was amazing. We toured the venue in Feb 2020 and booked our wedding for June 2022. Maureen and Stephanie were huge helps in booking the ceremony and reception, 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!

I wish I could give it more than five stars! This venue was amazing and everything I had ever hoped for. Kayla is the most fantastic day of coordinator. She is prompt, knowledgeable, and beyond helpful. The venue is breathtaking. The service is 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!

I was looking for an elegant indoor venue to hold my winter wedding that also fit our price tag. The Riverview 1000% delivered!! They were so accommodating with Covid as well as providing discounts and little extras since our day was during the 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).

Fantastic venue - right by the beautiful Farmington River. Scenic space for photographs both inside and outside. Food was AMAZING and bartenders were excellent. Most importantly they were so easy to work with and made the wedding process so much less stressful. Could not recommend this venue highly enough!

The Riverview is the perfect wedding location! We were a bit nervous knowing there were two weddings at the same place, but you would never have known! We did not see or hear the other ceremony or reception the entire day. Our service was phenomenal- 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!

They were so helpful, beyond coordinated and on time with everything, the price was fantastic, the food, everything!

This venue was everything I hoped for and more. We had a 12.11.21 wedding and it was such a dream. All of our guest said it was some of the best food they have ever had at a wedding. This place has such a wow factor. I cannot imagine getting married anywhere else.

This venue was like every bride's wedding dream come true.From the incredible staff to the delicious food options everything was amazing. I had multiple people coming up to my husband and I saying how wonderful the staff was. They were all so helpful 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.

We were blown away with The Riverview from beginning to end. Both the head manager Maureen and our event coordinator Kayla were invaluable in our planning process. They were super responsive, and helped us navigate several tricky religious dietary 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.

If you are looking for a wedding venue in CT the Riverview is it! The Riverview team was nothing but fantastic to work with. From planning to the day of our wedding, Kayla and her team made wedding planning easy and fun. Everything about our day 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.

We knew from the moment we walked into the Riverview that we wanted to have our wedding there. The place is beautiful and very spacious. The staff is all wonderful and we had a great experience working with them. The only thing we were disappointed with was that we didn’t really get to eat many of the passed hors devours during cocktail hour. Definitely recommend asking ahead of time for them to set aside a plate of all the passed hors devours for you, they were wonderful and if we had asked they definitely would have done it for us!

I knew walking in to the Riverview that it was where we would get married, to top it off the song we wanted to be our first dance was playing - it was meant to be! The venue is beautiful inside, and out. I worked alongside Maureen and Adam who were fantastic! They were easy to communicate with and very helpful. Many of our guests complimented the food, and the staff was friendly! Would definitely recommend!

Our wedding was absolutely perfect! Stunning venue, great food, amazing, attentive, helpful staff!! The Riverview package included the essentials such as ceremony space, tables/chairs, linens, centerpieces, food, cake etc which made everything super easy. They also provided a list of vendors that are familiar with and often used for events at the riverview specifically. This made it really easy coordinating things with the photographer, dj, and florist since they all knew the venue so well. I highly highly recommend getting married here and I hope I get to attend some weddings here soon!!

The Riverview was a great venue to work with for our wedding. They were accommodating from day 1 even through the pandemic. Adam was helpful and available whenever we had questions. The ballroom looked incredible on our wedding day. Would definitely recommend!

Everything was absolutely perfect! Beyond worth the value of what you receive and how they take care of you on such a big day.

From the very beginning when I stepped into the Riverview and met Maureen I knew I was in the right place. She was so welcoming, personable and professional! Needles to say it wasn’t hard to choose The Riverview to be our venue :) The entire staff is amazing as well as the best coordinator ever Adam. He was always an email or phone call away and would help with anything we needed. The day of he made sure I was content and my nerves were at ease. I couldn’t have chose a more better venue for one of the most important beautiful day of our lives. Thank you Maureen and staff for the best memories we will have to cherish forever!

If you're looking to really feel like you have a team hand-picked for your day - look no further! Aside from the absolutely stunning space (indoor & out), for me it was all about the staff!! From Day 1 I felt taken care of, I was listened to, I was protected (from all the crazies), and the decision we made was worth every penny. My dream team was Maureen & Kayla (love these 2) - if you are a bride who isn't really focused on the food (like me), be sure that they will remind you to eat. OR if you have some relatives that are getting out of hand, and you don't want the drama (like me) - they will take on the drama, and you won't hear about it until the next day!! All of our guests had amazing reviews on the food - we had halibut, filet mignon, and mushroom ravioli on our menu! THE CAKE STOLE THE SHOW - delicious, beautiful, and beyond our wildest dreams! If I had to do my day all over again, I would come back to The Riverview 100X over. Thank you so much for making sure our wedding day went smoothly, that we remembered the most important part - that it's all about us, and thank you for being INCREDIBLE PEOPLE!!!!

We had planned our daughter's wedding, both ceremony and reception, at The Riverview, but the Covid-19 Pandemic suddenly changed all of our plans. We worked with Maureen Huntley during the process of all the changes and decisions that needed to be made and she was just absolutely wonderful to work with! She took personal interest in making the best wedding day for our family, a midst all the restrictions, changes and modifications that had to be made because of the pandemic times. We ended up just having the ceremony at Riverview because of the restrictions imposed by the government, but it was the most beautiful setting for the wedding we could have had. Maureen made sure everything was just perfect. She was just a delight to work with and I have to say that she went the extra mile to make everything work. Having Maureen leading the Riverview team assures you that your day will be perfect!

The most beautiful location with amazing staff. Everything was exactly how I requested it. No need to stress when planning your wedding here! (and that is coming from a type A, perfectionist who stresses way too much)

So beautiful. Our wedding pictures are so stunning thanks to this lovely venue. The staff were absolutely wonderful and took care of everything. I had no worries the day of because there were always people around to help me and remind me to stay hydrated. Our wedding consultant Kayla took all of our worries away as she listened and performed miracles to make our day as perfect as possible.

Extremely accommodating, elegant, professional, one stop shop and including everything we wanted. We received so many compliments on how beautiful our ceremony and reception were! Highly recommend!!

My husband and I just got married a week ago at The Riverview and can't say enough great things about it! When originally looking into venues, we knew we didn't want a "Christmas threw up" kind of feeling - you know, tons of red and green, Christmas party vibes, even though we were getting married ten days before the holiday. The Riverview decorated tastefully outside and in the lobby, but doesn't do anything for the actual parts where you get married and celebrate, which I appreciated so I could decorate it to fit our needs and wants! Our coordinator got changed a couple times throughout the year, but we handled it in stride and put our faith in the fact that we were in good hands - and that was so true! Adam ended up being our coordinator and he was amazing, even though we only dealt with him for a few weeks leading up to the wedding. He made sure everything went smoothly and communicated whatever we needed to his assistant and two bridal attendants, who also accompanied us the entire day. All the details were correct the day of our wedding - from placement of our special tables to the uplighting we chose for dinner and dancing. They even cut nice big pieces of our cake for us to enjoy. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful place to get married and celebrate, anytime of year! We had our ceremony inside and it went seamlessly and was more beautiful than you probably imagine an indoor ceremony is. The pictures are also gorgeous by the beautiful river, despite being December! Thank you Maureen, Adam, and all the rest of the amazing staff!!

If there was one word for my husband and I to describe The Riverview and their staff, it would be AMAZING!! Every facet of our wedding was beyond perfect and we could not have asked for a better experience. Let me first shout out to our favorite leading lady in the whole wide world....Maureen Huntley. Do yourself a favor and get in touch with Maureen. An explanation is not necessary. The venue is clean and absolutely beautiful. The back drop on the Farmington River is to die for and everyone we worked with was a delight. Necessary mentions to Amy, Essence, Stephanie, our two bridal attendants who made sure we had everything and more leading up to and on November 10, 2019. The pastry chef Becky is FABULOUS and helped us present a cake that was not your typical wedding cake. Thorough still does not cover the staff and their abilities to get things done. This coming from a girl from Long Island who doesn't understand the word easy and asks every question imaginable. Neil and I would contemplate another wedding just so we could visit the A team at The Riverview. Beyond thankful and will have memories to last a lifetime.

THE BEST VENUE IN CT!!! I have to say that the Riverview completely exceeded my expectations! We were planning a huge wedding (210 guests) with a 21 person bridal party and Adam & team did an outstanding job! The entire planning process was as smooth as can be. Adam is so funny and attentive, there was never a doubt the experience on our big day would be any different. I always had a drink, I actually ate and it was the best day of my life. I owe lots of that to Adam! My favorite memory was when we were planning our menu/cake and my dad has been in the restaurant business his whole life and even he was impressed! He allowed us to bring in his famous waffles to add to our sundae bar and it really was the best touch! What an amazing team!

The Riverview was truly a wonderful and magical venue for my late August wedding ceremony and reception. The employees of The Riverview are all extremely hardworking, caring and personable, which made wedding planning easy and fun! Rachael went above and beyond during all stages of the process: she thoughtfully executed all the little details and requests we had (signature drinks, cake design, uplighting, timeline – everything was FLAWLESS and we didn’t have to worry about a thing). She volunteered to personally set up our donut wall during our reception into the heart shape design we wanted which shows how much she cares for her brides and loves her job. She kept me calm through the night and even wrapped one of my bridesmaid’s foot that got cut up when a glass broke on the dance floor – Rachael, I can’t thank you enough for your quick action and kindness that evening! All of the staff during my wedding was truly on point. The bartenders were excellent, serving staff efficient and the bridal suite attendants were genuinely gracious making me feel so special which is all a bride hopes for on their big day. The food was wonderful and the cake was extremely tasty. We are still getting compliments from guests saying it was one of the nicest weddings they had ever been to and nothing went wrong. It was honestly the best day of our lives and we have Rachael, Maureen and everyone at The Riverview to thank for the happy memories that we will cherish forever.

Wonderful place for a wedding! Everything was fantastic and the food was great!

My wife and I chose The Riverview after visiting 15+ venues in the Connecticut area. We were very taken back by the appearance of the venue and the grounds surrounding it and found it to be a suitable fit for our Gatsby themed wedding. After hearing a few concerns from friends about the food quality at the Riverview from past weddings that they had attended, we decided that it was a good idea to attend the showcase events and even arranged for a personal tasting on a separate date. The food at all three showcase events and the personal tasting was wonderful. We felt confident that we had nothing to worry about at that point and that we would achieve our goal of providing our guests with great food. Food and music for our guests were our top priorities. Out of the 150ish guests we had, 108 chose the Filet Mignon. We relayed this total to our coordinator with the instructions to cook them all medium. On the day of our wedding, my wife and I were both given VERY well-done and DRY steaks that we chose not to finish. Caught up in all that was going on on our big day, we assumed it was just ours and paid no mind to it. In the weeks following our wedding, upon talking to friends and family we soon learned how truly bad the steak situation was. Not only were our steaks well-done and dry, but many of our guests were as well. Several people finally hesitantly revealed that they sent the steaks back multiple times, only to receive more of the same. It seems like the only guests who truly enjoyed their meals were those who ordered the halibut and the chicken piccata. We were very disappointed that a venue that has been in business for over 10 years now seemingly does not know how to provide the most popular dish for a wedding. Had we not heard the previous warnings, we would have thought it was just a fluke. Aside from the food, our coordinator and bridal assistants whom we were told would be our "shadows" throughout day, were for the most part absent. Perhaps hiding in the shadows instead. Because it rained on our wedding day, my wife's dress was drenched at the bottom and when it came time for our first dance and her father/daughter dance, she was slipping all over the dance floor. It was so bad that she and her father had to resort to swaying, after they had been practicing the waltz for months. Our bridal assistants were nowhere to be found with a solution while our coordinator watched from the sidelines pretending everything was alright. Friends and family had to get us drinks. We were not walked around by our coordinator to greet and thank our guests so we had to take it upon ourselves to do so with no clue of our time frame. All in all, our wedding day was amazing and our guests had a blast. Our add-on and late night stations were very good and we were very happy with the huge dance floor.

There are no words to truly describe how amazing our wedding was at the Riverview. Their staff was so kind and organized the entire time, from our first meeting to the actual day itself. They know exactly what they are doing, with things running so smoothly that we never ever felt stressed along the way! Adam was our day of coordinator, and he was incredible! He made us feel at ease and attended to throughout our whole planning process and would HIGHLY recommend The Riverview to any couple planning their big day!

Great Venue and staff! Our wedding was all we hoped for and more!

The Riverview was awesome! From the beginning they were so organized and professional. Rachael made sure our day ran smoothly and it was so relaxing to know she was on top of everything. The food and drinks were awesome and we got so many compliments from our guests! Would highly recommend The Riverview to any couple.

This venue was beautiful inside and out! Adam & his team kept things flowing smoothly, and very organized. My husband and I did not have to worry about a thing so it made us focus more on each other, which we were so grateful for. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone! Thanks so much!

We worked closely with Maureen and Adam in the planning process of our wedding. They are wonderful and extremely accommodating! Our friends and family gave us rave reviews of our reception, from the food to the ambience to the open bar… We highly recommend the Riverview to anyone looking for an elegant venue for their reception!

Our wedding was more than we could have asked for! Our ceremony and reception was smooth and seamless! Jorge did a wonderful job and went above and beyond! The food and cake was phenomenal! All of our guests loved the food! If you are looking for a wedding venue you NEED to check the Riverview out!! You won’t be disappointed!

The Riverview took great care of us from start to finish! I felt like they knew all the answers to my questions from day one and I didn't have to worry about a thing on the big day! The staff were very attentive and conscientious about every detail! One detail in particular was the cake! It was amazing, and I'm usually not a huge cake fan, and it has me drooling for our first year anniversary when we can bust open the cake top that they packaged for us before we left! Very thoughtful!

The Riverview is the PERFECT place to get married. The venue itself has a gorgeous entryway, beautiful bridal suite, breathtaking ballroom, and the most picturesque outdoor pavilion area for a ceremony overlooking the Farmington River. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. Manager Maureen made us feel very comfortable from the moment we walked in at our initial meeting and working with Adam Blutt as our assigned wedding planner made every single step of the planning process a breeze, from picking out cake favor and design to sorting out the seating arrangements. Adam and the rest of the staff answered all of our questions to set our minds at ease leading up to the day and helped us troubleshoot for all possible scenarios. We were so appreciative of how Adam and the rest of the staff took all of the decorations that we dropped off for our night (including our homemade centerpieces that required quite a bit of set up at the venue) and transformed the already gorgeous West Room to truly be our space by incorporating all of our decorations into the hallway and room. One awesome perk was that the Riverview hosted a showcase to allow wedding couples to network with vendors and sample the DELICIOUS Riverview food. We met our photographer, DJ, and florist all at the showcase night AND got a discount when we reserved Riverview uplighting (a great decision that added the perfect ambiance to dinner and dancing) for our wedding night. Thank you to all of the staff at the Riverview for a truly beautiful and unforgettable night!

Highly recommend The Riverview if you are searching for the perfect wedding venue! The staff is absolutely wonderful to work with and they are very responsive if you have any questions or concerns. The day of your wedding, the staff ensures that everyone is comfortable and that they have everything they need. The Riverview is affordable, compared to other venues that we looked at. They provide centerpieces that come with the wedding package and they have an array of colors for table linens and napkins to choose from. You will be sure to find the perfect colors to match your color scheme! We had our ceremony and reception here. The outdoor ceremony space is beautiful and they keep a white tent up no matter rain or shine. The cocktail hour and reception space is beautiful as well, with the chandeliers in the reception space and the windows overlooking the river in the back of the venue. There is also a bridal suite for the bride, bridesmaids and family members to get ready or just to relax before and after the ceremony. The staff provides appetizers in the bridal suite after the ceremony as well! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and The Riverview and their staff helped to make it such a memorable day!

BEAUTIFUL venue! Our coordinator was accessible, knowledgeable, and super sweet. We loved all the details of our wedding, not to mention the customer service they provided for all our guests as well during the actual event! My only minor complaint would be that the sprinklers turned on whilst we were to take photos in their backyard, but they quickly remediated the situation.

I don’t know how I can come up with words to truly convey what an amazing wedding venue The Riverview is. Maureen, the general manager is a rockstar! She made sure every last detail was perfect for our big day. She was so easy to work with and helped us to plan everything flawlessly. She and the Riverview staff exuded professionalism and they were so attentive to our guests and ensured everything was taken care of the entire night. The venue itself is spectacular. Nestled right next to the the Farmington River, the outdoor area and patio have beautiful views and were the perfect area for our wedding guests to enjoy cocktail hour. The indoor cocktail hour setup was equally as fantastic. The bartenders kept the drinks flowing and moved quickly. Our appetizers were delicious. I vowed to not eat before our dance and formalities because I did not want to spill on my dress, but one bite of a bacon wrapped scallop and that changed! After cocktail hour we emerged into a beautifully setup venue that took my breath away. It was perfection. The table arrangement and settings were exactly what I envisioned. The food was out of this world! I was able to eat at my wedding, which is rare for some brides, but thankfully I did because my filet was to die for. Maureen and her staff were on top of everything and every time my bustle on my dress fell, Maureen appeared magically behind me with an emergency kit to pin it back up. At the end of the night, the staff packed up everything for our so we didn’t have to lift a finger. The entire night was a dream. I couldn’t have imagined a better wedding venue for the most amazing day of our lives. I can’t thank The Riverview, Maureen and all of the amazing staff enough for making our day perfect and ensuring we had the wedding of our dreams. I would more than recommend The Riverview to any future brides and grooms looking to have a beautiful venue and a carefree night enjoying your wedding without a single worry!
