We recently had our beautiful wedding at The Lake House located in Wolcott. Every detail of our day was beyond perfection, from working to the staff to the food and dancing! Paul and Carole were wonderful to work with and always responded to any email and/or call within a timely manner. Paul was especially kind to our 2 year old son throughout the evening and was a joy to work with. The vendor recommendations were also awesome from the photographer to the florist to the DJ! I am still getting praise from our guests about the awesome food throughout the entire day. I highly recommend this Venue for your wedding, bridal shower or really any event. Thank you to Paul for making my dream wedding come to life!

Woodwinds

4.3

Branford, CT
  • Up to 600 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $110

WoodWinds is one of the most sought after Connecticut wedding venues for wedding receptions, banquets, corporate events or any special occasion, in the Tri-State area. A wedding in our impressive European Country Manor will reflect your personal vision. Imagine a magical experience, enhanced by a unique ceremony and reception on the beautiful grounds of WoodWinds. Envision standing on a grand staircase under the twinkle of Austrian Crystal chandeliers, taking pictures in a magnificent garden and dancing the night away on a marble dance floor.

I found the woodwinds through ZOLA, and I am so glad I got matched up! When I reached out, they set me up with a tour the same day. They were super reasonable with the hours and accommodated my weird work schedule. Their gm Randy met me after their normal operating hours which was so incredibly helpful and really set the tone for them. After we met my fiancé and I (oops husband now!) both felt good about the venue, but we had to show our parents. So, we reached out again and asked to schedule a tour for our parents the following weekend where they met with the main saleswoman Vanessa. When my parents left, they were sold. When we booked, we were so pleasantly surprised to have an entire team helping us leading up to our wedding. We worked with Michael, Randy, and Kate. Kate processed all our payments as we chipped away at our balance (they don’t require this, but it was super helpful for us.) Michael was our main planner and coordinator, and he is an absolute expert in the industry! Not only did he have answers to all our questions, but he gave us recommendations along the way and oh boy was he on point! Randy is an amazing asset to the team as well. We think he lives at work because we would email early in the morning, late at night, midday, and sometimes all the above and we would always get a response in less than 5 minutes! I cannot thank the planning crew enough! The night of our wedding we worked with Sergio, and he is such a calm person it really made us feel comfortable. We always hear “oh the day is so hectic” or “time flies” and with Sergio we never felt rushed or pressured. We always felt like everything was under control. Also, our bridal attendant was on point with the mirror. Before pictures, cake, ceremony, entrances, dances she came running out with a little mirror for me to check my hair and makeup. She must have 20000 steps a day just running around with the mirror. That doesn’t even consider bringing me signature drinks and snacks! On a side note, the bartenders are in a class of their own. We had 173 guests and I NEVER saw a line, and everyone complimented how great the drinks were and how friendly and fun the bar staff were. We absolutely love woodwinds, and we haven’t stopped hearing “YOU GUYS HAD THE BEST WEDDING EVER!” from our family and guests. We could not be happier!!!

We just had our wedding there this past summer, and it was more amazing than we could have ever imagined. Not only is the venue beautiful, this is such a wonderful family to work with.

We had an exceptional experience with The Delany House for our wedding! The Delany House was one of the first choices on our list, however we weren't sure we could make it work after Covid hit, and then we had several other circumstances that took us away from planning for a while. Then in August of 2022, we decided to make an appointment with Nicole at the Delany House because through all of our searching, we kept coming back to this beautiful place as our #1. Nicole was a wonderful coordinator and listened to all of our needs and concerns, as we had a very small amount of people and weren't sure if family would make it from different parts of the country. She was always communicating with us and made sure we had everything we needed to plan our special day, and in a short time frame as well because we married on May 12th 2023, less than a year from when we started planning! Nicole is a rock star! When we finally checked in, and got ready for our rehearsal dinner, we had one last meeting with Nicole and she took care of everything for us. The day of our wedding we had a legit TEAM of people helping us with everything we needed, from timing, to communicating with vendors, to our own waiter for the day bringing us diet cokes while we all got ready and later was right by our side with drinks through the night!- (Thanks Josiah!) The staff made sure we had everyone where they needed to be at the right time, and as the night went on they checked on us and made our guests feel so comfortable. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD! All of our guests kept raving about how delicious everything was. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to get married and celebrate. We recommend The Delany House to anyone who we know that is getting married and wants a great place at a great price and wonderful staff! We can't wait to celebrate our one year anniversary there and see everyone again!

The venue at Pachaug Cottages is an absolute dream! They hosted us for our ceremony and reception of about 75 people on June 25 2022. With the ceremony space right on the lake, we were even able to arrive and depart by boat! The whole day went flawlessly and we definitely recommend having your wedding here! Some of our family even booked the venue for their own wedding this past summer and it was so fun to revisit the location and see all the new additions. The brand new pavilion is STUNNING. 10/10 would recommend 3

Riverbend

5.0

Higganum, CT
  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $25,000

Welcome to Connecticut Wedding Group's latest jewel, Riverbend—a masterpiece poised to claim its title as the state’s foremost wedding destination. Nestled in the heart of Higganum, this venue seamlessly blends the rich tapestry of the town's industrial history with a contemporary touch, resulting in an unmatched fusion of industrial charm and modern elegance. As you step through the entrance, prepare to be enchanted by a stunning architectural marvel nestled within a lovingly restored industrial gem. Towering, exposed-beam ceilings create an expansive atmosphere, and the weathered brickwork shares the timeless tales of a bygone era. Bathed in sunlight pouring through expansive windows, every corner is adorned with a soft, natural glow, ensuring that your celebration emanates with an undeniable warmth and inherent beauty. At Riverbend, history meets modernity to create the perfect backdrop for your special day.

Full disclaimer, my husband and I both work for Connecticut Wedding Group. So, you may think this post is a tad biased, but we'd have to disagree... You see at the start of our engagement we did entertain some "obligatory" research, but, this was incredibly short lived. We came to the quick conclusion, before we even got to scheduling tours, that there's simply no way we could ever put our biggest investment in anyones hands but our own planning & culinary teams. Every weekend we see our couples share their big day with all of the most important people in their lives. A moment you only get once, and our team pours their whole hearts into making every minute pure perfection. My husband was (hands down) here for the food, while I was here so I didn't need to plan my own wedding and worry about all the logistics that my brain normally can't avoid. Our guests continue to rave. It was the best day ever, and we are so deeply grateful to our team for doing what they do. Our only regret is we can't do it again and again and again.
