Our Event PackagesMy 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!
Best venue in town! My husband and I got married at San Sebastian Catholic Church and then had our reception at the River House. I was born and raised in Saint Augustine, Florida and have seen a lot of wedding venues in town. I knew once I saw the River House that I would someday have my wedding reception there. There is something different about it than all the other popular venues in downtown St. Augustine! This venue was the most impressionable to us for many reasons. The classic and timeless architecture and decor, the beautiful views of the water, and the secluded, yet near downtown location made this venue a must for us. We knew right when we walked to the door that we would get married there. What makes it even better is that this venue gives back to the community through Council on aging for the elderly.
The rooms of this exhibition and event center are framed by a beautiful river backdrop. The scale of this center is impressive and is capable of holding the largest of events. It is modern, clean and classy; a place you could be proud to showcase your next project.
The River House is absolutely 5 stars with not only a beautiful upscale venue with amazing views, the event team is incredibly attentive, and the interior is suburb for photography. As a wedding photographer I highly recommend the venue to couples being in my top 5 St Augustine wedding venues.
My husband and I knew that we wanted to get married at a place on the water, but had a large ballroom to accommodate our large families (150+ wedding guests). We toured a few places that met either one or the other condition, but not both, until we toured River House! The property is absolutely beautiful and the view of the Matanzas River and the lighthouse do NOT disappoint! I knew that this was THE venue for us after we left- I just could not stop thinking about it! Pre-booking, touring, and wedding prep: My experience with River House staff was seamless and easy.
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 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.
This hidden gem is worth every star. If you're a local to St. Augustine, FL then this is all I need to say: It's Downtown, along the water, and has its OWN PARKING LOT…. There was so much included in the different wedding packages that it took a lot off of our plate when we were planning (such as the tables, chairs, linens). We had about 120 guests in the end and it was very comfortable! The venue could easily hold more or less. For a downtown St. Augustine wedding venue, this will definitely be worth your time! Thank you so much River House Events!
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! From the breathtaking scenery to the impeccable service, everything exceeded our expectations. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, allowing us to truly enjoy our day stress-free. The space itself was stunning, providing the perfect backdrop for our reception. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful and well-organized everything was. If you’re looking for a venue that combines elegance, charm, and top-notch service, this is the place. Highly recommend!!!!
If you are considering getting married in the Saint Augustine area, The River House gives you the most BANG for your buck. We looked into other venues in the area and you were limited to only their caterer/vendors as well as being limited to a small space. The entire grounds of The River House is yours for your whole duration of time. They give you recommendations of the vendors they have worked with and prefer. The view inside and out is stunningly beautiful. Lastly, the staff was a complete joy to work with.
