Our Event PackagesSt. Augustine is such an amazing destination for your special day and River House is no exception. Truly a hidden gem away from downtown that is right on the river that offers you amazing views and service for your wedding. Allison was so communicative throughout the planning process and even on day of with rain in the forecast she was ready to jump to have our ceremony outside if we had the chance. Such a beautiful day with a beautiful venue to match.
The best wedding venue in St. Augustine! The moment we first walked into the River House, we knew it was where we were going to have our wedding. The amount of space the venue offers, the beautiful outdoor area, the different rooms, the free parking, and so many more things lead us to have our dream wedding! All of our guests were amazed at how beautiful the venue was as soon as they walked in. The staff at RH are a pleasure to work with as well! The fact that the venue isn't downtown and is off the beaten path is a huge bonus. While the venue is big and spread out, our wedding felt so intimate since we were away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. We would relive our wedding day here in a heart beat! There were even dolphins out the day of our rehearsal.
If you a searching for the perfect St. Augustine wedding venue, look no further! The River House is such a magical spot and not only do you get the feel of downtown but you get to be slightly out of the hustle and bustle. Allison and Devan went above and beyond to ensure that the venue was ready for my wedding and guests. Even a few days after Hurricane Ian flooded the streets Allison was on top of communicating with me that the venue survived and was ready for us. The building itself is absolutely stunning, I loved that I could get married outside with the water behind us while still having an indoor reception, and the best part, our guests didn’t have to travel between! They are so accommodating and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to be at the River House on my best day! If you’re considering this venue, you have truly found a hidden gem!
My husband and I had our ceremony and reception at the River House and it was a dream. We strongly recommend this venue; it's also slightly removed from the true downtown area but not far by any means. We liked working with the staff. We were able to flex numbers and schedule reasonably. Our vendors like working there. The venue makes for great pictures: particularly given the outdoor patio area and the river. The full industrial kitchen is a really big deal for meals. I strongly recommend an outdoor ceremony if whether permits! We had a slight chill on our mid February day but it was still perfect. We saw six venues in Saint Augustine and we picked this one because of the layout of the building, the outdoor patio area, and the front outdoor area. The dining hall is perfect and we had enough space for our ice cream cart and photobooth! I definitely recommend the River House!

My husband and I live 2.5 hours away, planning our wedding in St. Augustine we thought would be difficult since we lived so far. It wasn't at all! The River House staff was incredibly helpful in all aspects of our wedding. Through their recommendations and knowledge it was amazingly easy and stress free. I would recommend this venue for anyone looking for a beautiful, well kept facility. We couldnt have asked for a better wedding day!
The River House was my dream wedding venue and it most certainly did not disappoint. They were nothing but absolutely amazing to use through our long journey. We booked the venue in 2019 for a March 2020 wedding but unfortunately our date was 5 days after Florida was shut down and we had to postpone. We ended up postponing multiple times due to surges in Covid with concern for the older family members and we just really wanted to have a safe but fun and not super restricted celebration. The River House team was so understanding and flexible each time we had to sign a contract and we are so thankful we were able to keep a contract with them, worth every penny! We finally had our day July 3rd, 2022 and when I say they made sure everything was perfect, I mean it. They were so understanding and helpful and we didn't just feel like another random wedding- we felt like they really cared about how our day went. The views of Saint Augustine from this venue are enough to book it but trust me when I say that their customer service, hard work and genuine dedication to their craft is enough to book them now! You will not be disappointed and your guests will rave for days about how beautiful of a place it is. Thank you River House team for making our awaited celebration the best day ever.
River House in St. Augustine, FL is an amazing venue! From the beginning, Constance and her staff were very professional, responsive and accommodating. You can't beat the view of the river and the lighthouse which made for excellent pictures! They also have plenty of free parking which is a huge plus when it comes to venues in St. Augustine. Highly recommend!
We had our wedding reception May 25th, 2019 and it was perfect! My husband and I live in Jacksonville but all of our guests were coming from Pennsylvania. We picked the River House because if he indoor/outdoor flexibility! We wanted our guests to embrace the Florida lifestyle! We didn’t have to worry about the weather and got to enjoy the beautiful views of the river and lighthouse. There also have their own dock where we took amazing sunset photos. Lastly, Constance and her staff were a joy to work with and always willing to help!
