If you’re looking for a Connecticut wedding venue that blends rich history with modern charm, meet Riverbend – a brand-new industrial-chic wedding venue opening in 2026 in the heart of Higganum, CT. Designed for couples who want something meaningful, stylish, and effortlessly elegant, Riverbend offers a one-of-a-kind setting for unforgettable celebrations.
The History Behind Riverbend: A Legacy Reimagined
Before it became a wedding venue in Connecticut, Riverbend was home to the historic Scovil Hoe Company, a 19th-century factory that produced agricultural tools used across the world. This property was once a bustling hub of innovation and community filled with red-brick buildings, water-powered mills, and a strong sense of purpose.
Today, we’re honoring that legacy by transforming the space into a modern, industrial wedding venue that’s full of character, history, and heart.
A Modern Industrial Wedding Venue with Riverside Views
What makes Riverbend different? It’s the perfect combination of authentic historic architecture and contemporary wedding style. Think original brickwork, large windows for endless natural light, and sleek event spaces, all surrounded by natural beauty and the tranquil flow of the Connecticut River.
As part of Connecticut Wedding Group’s all-inclusive wedding venues, Riverbend will offer:
A unique, newly renovated event space with industrial-modern charm
Outdoor & Indoor Ceremony space for weather independence and peace of mind
In-house catering with customizable wedding menus
Award-winning event planning and day-of coordination
