Venue Overview

Our interior designer has selected furnishings both new and antique that give each room character and Old World charm. Our color palette is soft, muted gold and sage green with hardwood floors and/or carpet in the rooms. The overall feel of River House is that of an upscale yet comfortable setting.

River House Terrace

Relax and enjoy the beauty of the Matanzas River from the timelessly elegant River House terrace. As guests descend the down lit terrace steps and onto the tumbled stone pavers, they are greeted with a breathtaking view of the St. Augustine lighthouse. Our terrace is perfect for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hour, or a stroll on our down lit dock. Also includes 7 cast-iron tables with 28 chairs, and 8 wicker rocking chairs.

The Conservatory

The Conservatory, just off the ballroom has travertine floors, white walls, iron-framed mirrors shaped like palladiums windows lining the walls, antique hanging lanterns and six square tables each with 4 white Chiavari chairs. All this helps to complete the feeling of a “garden room.”

Very beautiful and elegant venue that is perfectly situated on the water and the right location for a gala or wedding or meeting. The rooms are large. The bar is available and it has a nice dance floor as well. It is beautiful for photos at any point of view from the front to the library area and back deck. I really loved it and highly recommend it

The River House was the venue for my recent wedding and it was absolutely perfect! They were wonderful to work with and very accommodating. Not only is this a beautiful location the staff was so friendly and welcoming. Constance was a dream to work with, she made everything so easy. Her and the staff stayed in touch with me throughout the planning process and made the wedding day a breeze. I didn't have to worry about anything. Thank you for helping me to have the wedding of my dreams!

The best choice we made while planning our wedding was choosing River House! From the first day meeting with Constance I knew she was going to be such a pleasure to work with. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful! The ceremony background of the river and lighthouse makes for the perfect pictures. The inside is already beautiful so it doesn’t take much decorating. The pictures online don’t do it justice so make sure to schedule an appointment to go see it, you will not be disappointed! Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful the venue was. We cannot say enough good things about River House!
