River House is one of St. Augustine's most beloved waterfront wedding venues — and one of our favorites to perform at. Perched on the Matanzas River with sweeping views of the St. Augustine Lighthouse, this downtown venue offers the rare combination of historic charm, modern amenities, and breathtaking scenery. The Grand Ballroom features a 32-foot hardwood dance floor, soaring ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water. Add the Library with its fireplace and leather furnishings, the outdoor terraces, and the professional events team — and you've got a venue that deserves entertainment to match. As a preferred vendor at River House, we know this space inside and out. We've dialed in the acoustics, built relationships with the staff, and delivered unforgettable celebrations for couples who chose this special venue.

River House is a St. Augustine landmark that gives back to the community — proceeds support the Council on Aging. Beyond its charitable mission, the venue delivers an exceptional wedding experience: the Grand Ballroom with its 32-foot hardwood dance floor, the intimate Library with fireplace and leather furnishings, and two outdoor terraces with unobstructed views of the Matanzas River and St. Augustine Lighthouse. It's the kind of venue where every corner photographs beautifully and every moment feels special.
