Seeking unique? How about a combination vintage train-riverboat wedding?
You want your wedding to be anything but ordinary? How about a ceremony on a train and a reception on a riverboat? The Essex Steam Train & Riverboat offers one-of-a-kind locations for your big day and experienced wedding coordinators to help you with all the details. Have your ceremony at one of two spacious rooms in the historic Essex Station or on a vintage railroad car as it travels through the Connecticut River Valley. Charter the entire train for an elegant dinner on the train. Or, get off at Deep River Landing and board the Becky Thatcher riverboat, which holds up to 150 passengers. Imagine your cocktail reception or sit-down dinner as you cruise the Connecticut River. The Adventure, a classic restored riverboat, is also available for more intimate gatherings. Please check our website for current train & riverboat schedules.
