I first found the Riverhouse searching on Zola. My husband and I spoke with Holly for our initial appointment. Holly had light music playing over the speakers when we arrived, and when I walked into the ballroom and onto the dance floor, I looked at my now husband and said, “This is it, I hope they have a date in 2025 available”. The planning process with Kelley and the team was wonderful! The worksheets that are provided make planning easy and outline all the tasks clearly. We attended their vendor show which helped us determine exactly what we were looking for in our vendors to design our perfect wedding day. Our detail meeting about a month before our wedding day was smooth and we easily made all our banquet choices. A week before our wedding, we met with Holly to ensure our day of timeline was exactly how we wanted it – she totally nailed it day of! We have been to many weddings, and we believed that food was one of the most important parts of our day. We were blown away by the quality (and quantity!) of food at the Riverhouse. At our tasting, my husband and I ranked the appetizer, salad and dinner choices. The rankings were so high, we had trouble narrowing it down! It’s been about 3 weeks, and our guests are still complementing our food and saying how beautiful the venue was. The mac and cheese bar has been a HUGE hit with our guests. On our wedding day, Holly and Loretta kept everything smooth and seamless and both ladies provided a calming atmosphere when things started to feel chaotic (shout out to Loretta for grabbing me tums!). It truly seemed as if all the staff at the Riverhouse enjoyed our wedding event as much as our guests did! The food service was outstanding and went right along with our timeline, our bartenders were flawless, and we totally spied a little bit of dancing going on to our music and we were absolutely overjoyed! We would like to thank everyone at the Riverhouse for making our day amazing! We hope to see you all again sometime soon!

I am so pleased with the welcome party that we parents of the bride and groom were able to host in the Cutter Room at the Hilton Mystic in Mystic, CT! The room was perfect for our party of 120 guests---lots of space to mingle, room for some table seating and some hi tops; we had a bar inside our private party space with room for 2 bartenders to serve our guests; we had finger foods and deserts and a beautiful cheese and cracker tray that was all displayed beautifully and DELICIOUS (I wish I had some of the brownies now!); and the Hilton audiovisual team assisted us in having a screen for our photo slide show and speakers for some music in the background. Rebecca Buttafuoco was our event manager, and she was readily available, helped plan all aspects of our event, and truly made a memorable and fabulous party for all! Thank you Rebecca! I would recommend this venue and our wonderful event manager Rebecca to everyone!

We got married at Lake of Isles in April 2025 and it was truly the best day of our lives! Lake of Isles is a special place and in my opinion, a hidden gem! It checked all of our boxes, I had wanted a water view, my husband wanted a golf course, and great food of course! We planned our wedding for just under 2 years and from the moment we first toured and met Bethany, we knew Lake of Isles was the place for us! We loved the option of having our ceremony on the Lakefront deck, I mean it is just stunning at any time of the year! We also opted to rent out Matches Tavern for our cocktail hour. The food was amazing, and our guests have commented multiple times how much they enjoyed the food! Throughout our planning process, Bethany was there every step of the way, she was always available to answer all of our hundreds of questions and she never made us feel like we had a dumb question. On our wedding day, Bethany and her team had everything covered, I wasn’t stressed or worried and was able to enjoy our day, it was perfect! I wish I could get married at Lake of Isles every year! We could not recommend Lake of Isles more!
