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!
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.
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.
