They helped plan my parent's downsize, organized their new apartment floor plan, unpacked every item, and hung every painting. They were fun, compassionate, loving, and understanding during an emotional time.
Communication was excellent and everyone was friendly. We were in a time crunch, but everything was completed within the needed timeframe, and they kept their word on all services.

Every aspect of our move was handled with care, compassion, and competence. The packing and unpacking team was seamless, and all our belongings were positioned just as they were before.
Negative WellRive Reviews
Cheryl White, Google
They left behind so much of my things, including my drapes. They stuffed items into cupboards and closets without organization, and my precious recipe box is missing. I paid nearly $4,000; it was not worth it.
Tanya Anderson, Google
These people broke things and got rid of important items. They were not kind and did not communicate with me about what to keep.
g t, Google
Submitted requests for consultation. No responses from the local Minneapolis office. They may be short of staff, but the lack of response was inadequate and unresponsive.
Neutral WellRive Reviews
Chris Doran, Google
Karen was friendly, responsive, and helpful, and the movers were professional. Poor communication and insufficient boxes made the move-out day disorganized and stressful.
Ani Costantini, Google
Everything they moved ended up in random rooms, split up. The unpackers did not use reference photos, and the final cost exceeded the estimate. Nothing broke, as far as I know.

Our summary of WellRive
From cluttered homes to comforting new spaces, WellRive’s strongest advantage is hands-on senior move support. Feedback from all 128 reviews shows 120 positive responses, or 93.8%. Customers praise the wide range of help, including downsizing, floor planning, careful packing, unpacking, donation handling, picture hanging, and setup. They also describe knowledgeable, compassionate staff, clear updates, dependable follow-through, and organized work that makes difficult moves feel manageable. Compared with standard moving companies, WellRive is valued as a full-service partner that handles planning and settling in, not just transportation; some feedback says the cost is worth it even when it is not the cheapest option. Negative input reports missing belongings, damaged items, poor packing or placement, and weak communication, including unanswered requests and last-minute scheduling failures. The two neutral reviews praise individual staff and safe delivery but describe stressful coordination, insufficient boxes, misplaced items, and costs above estimates.
