The Jones River Trading Post

Set beside the Jones River in Kingston, Massachusetts, The Jones River Trading Post is a historic venue for weddings and other private or corporate functions. Its characterful mill-style building dates to the 1890s, with vintage details including an antique bar and watercraft displayed among the interior features. The riverside setting and grounds provide a distinctive backdrop for celebrations and photographs.

The venue can host up to 225 guests for a seated dinner, with indoor and outdoor areas available for ceremonies depending on the season. Wedding receptions include a five-hour venue hire, and couples can arrange an on-site ceremony without moving between locations. A private bridal suite, including dressing space and a restroom, gives the wedding party a place to prepare.

An on-site wedding coordinator works with couples and their chosen suppliers in the run-up to the day and helps manage the event itself. The venue also offers optional wedding packages, with elements such as a limousine, flowers, cake and a choice of DJ, so couples can select the arrangements that suit them. Those who prefer to plan more independently can choose meal service without taking a package.

Food is provided through the venue's exclusive catering partner. Menus can be tailored, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices available on request. Beyond weddings, the space is available for functions such as celebrations, banquets and meetings, making it a flexible choice for organisers seeking a distinctive setting on the South Shore.
