From the reviews
Our wedding day and experience with this venue could not have been more amazing! The property is absolutely gorgeous and the PPHG Staff were over-the-top helpful. Kailin Good was so friendly and we had the best time at our menu tasting with her. Cannot say enough great things about the River House and PPHG!
We had the most wonderful wedding at The River House! PPHG has the best team you could imagine working with for a wedding - everything was easy and everyone was a pleasure to work with, all the way from our first information requests and tour, down to the server and bartenders at our wedding.
Choosing The River House for our wedding was the best decision we made. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our love.
We are absolutely thrilled with our choice of venue, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From start to finish, The River House and the team at PPHG made our wedding day unforgettable. It was the perfect backdrop to our intimate wedding of about 50 guests!
Getting married at The River House at Lowndes Grove
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
