Welcome to Oakholm Farm! Discover our rustic-glam, charming location, and rich history. We value connection with our customers and hope to be a reliable friend during this special time. Weddings at the farm can be casual, spiritually inspired, or elaborate with elegance. Imagine exchanging hand written wedding vows under a rustic solid pine arbor, with a beautiful backdrop of the peaceful Lake Quaboag, surrounded by the beauty of the farm with your closest friends and family. Maybe you imagine your wedding party goers enjoying a late campfire, dance party, a lingering after party under a sky full of stars or in the estate game room.

We loved Oakholm for our simple all-outdoor summer wedding. From the lakeside arbor ceremony site to the tent and patio, we and our guests loved the naturally gorgeous surroundings and private atmosphere. The mansion was perfect for the whole bridal party to get ready in, and the venue's staff were always professional, communicative, and helpful. Having the venue provide the bar service was one less additional vendor we had to deal with, which was also great. It was the perfect place for us to get married and dance the night away!

My husband and I cannot stop talking about how perfect our wedding day was. The staff at the Riverview are amazing!!! They went above and beyond to make sure we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our guests also could not say enough about how delicious the food was and how the drinks kept flowing all night long. Chelsea was our wedding coordinator and she took care of everything and stayed in constant communication with us throughout the whole process. We are so beyond grateful for the Riverview and highly recommend this venue. You will not regret it!

Saint Clements Castle 

5.0

Portland, CT
  • Up to 260 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $120

Where the castle meets the river, Saint Clements Castle & Marina, is Connecticut’s premier wedding and event venue in Portland. Situated along the banks of the river, each of the three unique event spaces provide a picturesque and scenic backdrop of the riverside and lush greenery while outdoors. Inside, you will find newly renovated historical charm for a variety of special events, including weddings, showers, corporate meetings, and other celebrations. Saint Clements Castle has earned a reputation of an elevated and enchanting setting perfect for all things in life worth celebrating. Saint Clements Castle and Marina’s location, in central Connecticut, is easily accessible as a midpoint from the New York City and Boston areas.

Saint Clements Castle provided a beautiful venue and kind staff for our wedding day. We especially appreciated our sales coordinator, Alyssa, who was professional, fast, and clear in her communication throughout the planning process. When rain forced us to move the ceremony indoors, the team quickly adapted the art gallery for us. The servers and bridal attendants were also attentive and went above and beyond to help finish set up when our florist left early. Our guests had incredibly kind things to say about the servers, and overall we had a great experience. It was also lovely to have a place that was a one stop shop for event planning! We did lose some decor in the shuffle which was an inconvenience, and some of the instructions for set up I left were not followed (our confetti got lost, only four guests got packets, the bridal suites did not have the supplies we left for them). My husband’s family were also really upset with one of the managers on property who wouldn’t allow them to walk in a covered area and was a bit rude about it, despite an event not happening and the rain being a torrential downpour causing unsafe conditions for his elderly family to walk in. Overall we had a great experience, and would recommend the castle to anyone planning a wedding!

Crystal Lake Golf Club 

5.0

Mapleville, RI
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Crystal Lake Golf Club is an 18 hole Golf Course built on the shores of Beautiful Crystal Lake in Mapleville, RI. We have a full Club House with Pro Shop, Restaraunt, Function Room, Locker Rooms and Member's Lounge. The 23,000 sq. foot clubhouse opened a year later in May of 2004 consisting of the scenic Waterfront Room with a seating capacity of 225 and Tavern with accommodations of 100 people for lunch and dinner everyday during the golf season.

Crystal lake is truly a hidden gem. Pre Covid we had it booked indoors. Which is a beautiful rustic themed room that holds up to 200 with a beautiful view of the lake and a big bar. Then Covid happened. Instead of having to cancel completely they were able to accommodate WITHIN guidelines at their outdoor pavillion. The pavillion is a gorgeous structure out on the golf course. It has sides on it and Crystal lake had heaters so our Nov wedding was able to happen. The food was so amazing, the staff was so friendly. I wouldn’t have changed it for anything. The view at the pavillion was gorgeous too. It’s right on the lake. Our photographer was able to get so many beautiful shots. I loved working with Tracy, she is so organized and thought of everything that I may have missed and had many helpful suggestions. She made sure everything was perfect!

We were hired to provide entertainment for a wedding and reception at this amazing venue and we couldn't be more impressed with its beauty and fantastic water view. Perfect spot for a wedding or any event. The location is intimate and warm. The venue is simply amazing and the on-site host was wonderful. We can't wait to perform there again!

We got married at The Lake House on Saturday, June 10, 2023 and were VERY happy with our choice of venue! Our guests did not stop talking about how pretty the lake and foliage surrounding it were, plus the fountain in the lake (which was newly added just before our wedding). We held our ceremony outdoors in front of the willow tree and our cocktail hour split between the parlor room and the lakefront, and all our outdoor photos were stunning. One of the main reasons we picked The Lake House was because we didn’t have to decide until day-of where on the property we wanted our ceremony to be, so we were able to make a last minute call based on the weather. We lucked out on getting to go with the outdoor option, but unfortunately the way our ceremony was set up, all the photos of us walking down the aisle have cars in the parking lot in the background (there were no cars in the parking lot when we did our tour, so we didn’t even think about this in advance). This is just a note for your photographer, or possibly a reason to angle the chairs differently than we did. A solvable issue! The Lake House’s team was very easy to work with leading up to our event and really helped us get excited about the day. They were prompt in responding to our questions, flexible with requests (such as signature drinks, adjusting the start time of our ceremony after booking, and allowing us to bring in almost any decor we wanted), and clearly experienced in wedding planning/execution. Two additional things that made The Lake House stand out to us were the fact that they had 2 bridal suites, which is hard to find but important for us as an LGTBQ couple with 2 brides, and a really high-quality speaker system that our DJ was able to plug into (for a fee). One challenge we had was that despite providing an extremely detailed map of where we wanted our decor set up and going over it during an in-person meeting with the coordinators just 2 days before our wedding when we dropped it all off, the decor was not set up as we asked it to be when we arrived day-of. We were only allowed to arrive 1.5 hours in advance of our ceremony, so this was stressful, since we and our immediate family members had to run around adjusting things before guests arrived. At the end of the night, the staff did not provide much help packing things up either. We would recommend hiring a day-of coordinator rather than just relying on their staff, specifically for setup and breakdown. The only other complaint we had was that dinner service was incredibly slow. Everyone at a given table was served at the same time, but half of the room was finished with their meals before the other half was served. This caused our post-dinner activities to be extremely delayed, and we ended up paying our photographer, videographer, and DJ extra cash on the spot to stay longer than they had signed up for. The food was good, though, and dessert was even better! We added the adult ice cream sundae bar as a second dessert option, and it was a big hit. One last thing of note is that the venue is entirely handicap accessible and has plenty of parking, two things that were important to us and not true of all the other venues we considered. Overall, we would highly recommend The Lake House as a wedding venue with some proactive planning around the concerns we listed above. We had an incredible day!
