  • Amazing!

    We are thrilled with the quality of service and the level of expertise at The Riverview. We didn’t have a wedding planner so Kayla (our day of wedding coordinator) seriously went above and beyond to make everything run so smoothly. It’s wonderful that they include a day of coordinator in the package. If something went wrong I had no clue, she handled everything and I was able to have fun. They were also very accommodating to all requests I had for the ceremony, the meal options and cocktail hour. I was so so happy with how everything turned out. Our guests were raving about the food, the ambiance, and the professional waitstaff (and bartenders) all night long! There are a few popular venues to get married in CT but I would urge you to at least take a look at the Riverview, the view sells itself. I also want to shout out their pastry chef because the cake was insane. It was delicious and exactly like the picture I showed Kayla!

    Our wedding was on 11/4/23. 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!
