Top-shelf bar | Steward wine service | Exquisite distinctive linens | Additional meal courses |Grand dessert displays | Sweet and savory late-night snacks
Looking for something a little different? We have brunch and buffet menu options available upon request.
Four Seasons
We host weddings all year and each season is as beautiful as the next. The dramatic driveway entrance blossoms in the spring, the summer brings manicured greens, classic New England foliage appears in the fall, and the club decorates above and beyond for the winter holidays. Ask us about our availability for private event space!
Our covered outdoor brick Breezeway serves as a perfect backup location for your ceremony and cocktail hour in the event of inclement weather. Even when the sun is shining, some couples choose this as their ceremony location instead of the gazebo! Sometimes “Plan B” is just as good as “Plan A”! It's hard to beat the views overlooking the golf course and Housatonic River.

Working with Great River was A+
“We toured about a dozen wedding venues and nothing felt right until we arrived at Great River. Almost instantly, we knew this was the venue for us! The grounds were beautiful as was every indoor area. This was a place we knew would “wow” our guests! We also could not have asked for better staff to work with. The chef is so talented and we could not have asked for better food at our wedding. All of our guests were so impressed! The events team were also so accommodating and really took the time to get to know my husband and I to make our day extra special. We truly enjoyed working with every single person at Great River! Lastly, a big selling point to us was the multiple options for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception in case of bad weather. This allowed our day to be as stress-free as possible. Highly recommend Great River to any future couples!”
