“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Worthington Vineyards & Winery. The winery is a hidden gem in Somers, CT. From our first conversation through the day of the bridal shower, the team answered every question we had and stayed available to help with any needs that came up. The location itself is stunning— vineyards, gorgeous views of multiple ponds, and a charming covered bridge made the perfect backdrop. We'd actually attended a bridal shower and another wedding there before booking my bridal shower and wedding there. The whole vibe of the place is special, and their adorable winery pup Champ adds the perfect touch to the events held there. We'd recommend Worthington to any couple looking for a venue that's both beautiful and genuinely cared for by the people running it. The new building that will be completed in 2027 will enhance weddings & bridal showers even more”

“I am so happy we chose the Spinning Wheel for our wedding. We had about 90 guests but there would have been room for more, and we got so many compliments about the food, the quality and speed of service, the scenery, everything about the venue overall. Katlyn, who is in charge of running events, is highly professional, skilled, and just an all around great person. The ceremony and reception areas are both gorgeous, I fell in love with the gardens and string lights from the first time I visited. I would recommend the Spinning Wheel if you want to have an absolutely incredible experience!”

“Five stars doesn’t even begin to cover it! We cannot say enough incredible things about our wedding venue and our amazing coordinator, Harold. Our wedding was everything we hoped for, and being able to actually enjoy it with our family and friends meant more than we can explain. Harold deserves a review all his own. He was personable, thoughtful, organized, and such a calming presence throughout the day. He made us feel like our wedding mattered just as much to him as it did to us. I can’t even imagine everything he handled behind the scenes that we never knew about, because we were able to stay in the moment and soak it all in. He truly has a gift for what he does. The venue was beautiful, but the people are what made it so special. All the little details, the care, and the effort that went into our day did not go unnoticed. We left with full hearts and memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re considering having your wedding here, this is your sign to book it. We would choose this venue and Harold a thousand times over. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of us!”

Words truly can't capture how exceptional Julia, Grace, and the entire Falls Creek team were. Not only are they incredibly professional and talented, but they’re also some of the kindest, most thoughtful people we've had the pleasure of working with. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel completely cared for. They welcomed us so warmly, checked in throughout the day, and handled every little hiccup with grace and efficiency. (Often before we even realized anything needed attention.) While we didn’t have the most hands-on coordinator, the Falls Creek team never missed a step.

“The Salem Herbfarm is a true hidden gem! The owner, Elizabeth, is such a delight to work with. From our initial tour to our wedding day (and even beyond!), she made us feel right at home. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking. You get to choose between three ceremony sites, and each one is so beautiful that picking just one was a challenge! Handcrafted wooden farm tables and chairs are included, which added such a gorgeous touch to the space. After our ceremony, guests transitioned seamlessly into cocktail hour throughout the property. The central "booze hut" was a huge hit for drinks, and the sailcloth tent gave everyone plenty of room to mingle. We chose to hold dinner in the greenhouse, which felt intimate yet spacious, and moved into the barn for dessert and dancing. The barn was wonderfully air-conditioned—a total lifesaver for our hot August wedding! For guests who wanted a break from dancing, Elizabeth set up cozy indoor seating, and the outdoor fire pits were lit for relaxing under the stars. We also hired Elizabeth as our Day-of Coordinator, and she and her son completely exceeded our expectations. Our planning meetings were so helpful (and also so much fun!). They made the entire day run flawlessly, handling everything from setup and cleanup to timing every transition. Elizabeth even provides access to her own decor she has collected to help bring your vision to life. Beyond how stunning the property is, Elizabeth and her family are incredible people who truly care. If you are looking for an outdoor or garden wedding venue, I cannot recommend Salem Herbfarm enough!”

“We had a beautiful wedding at the greenhouse of the Beardsley Zoo. The GlowWild light festival in the evening simply added to the magic of the event. The coordinators were wonderful in helping us set up and organize everything. If I had one piece of constructive feedback, it would just be that the head coordinator, Lindsay, was sometimes tricky to get in contact with via telephone for things like making our deposit and final payment for the venue.”
