Awarded Best of Zola
We had our engagement party at Little Gold and it was phenomenal. Our guests fell in love with Little Gold, as we did the moment we walked inside. Des and Sierra are so wonderful to work with and they have an eye for detail. Every single inch is picture perfect. I highly recommend hosting your event at Little Gold! It's a very magical place and immediately makes you feel right at home. For our party we hired a bartender, used Scratch Catering for food and we made the appetizers ourselves. We also brought our own decorations and it was just lovely making the space our own with our touches. I can't wait to host many, many more events there! I would give Little Gold 100 stars if I could.

Our guests were all extremely happy with the experience with great mix of historical displays to see and open space to celebrate and dance. Andrew and the entire museum team were amazing at ensuring the event went smoothly and we were soo thankful for their help! Overall, amazing venue, highly recommend!

I have loved coming to the Essex Steam Train & Riverboat museum since I was a child so when my husband and I got engaged, we knew we had to get married here. It was such a magical venue and was reasonably priced. They truly don't try to nickel-and-dime you like a lot of other wedding venues, they just want you to have a good experience. The bridal suite was a beautifully decorated air-conditioned train car. We also decided to add on a roundtrip steam train ride down to the CT river and a steamboat cruise as our cocktail hour (honestly didn't cost as much as you'd think...). Our reception was inside the hall and was perfectly air-conditioned and decorated. We did a buffet option and the food was good! If you decide to get married outside, just remember that it IS an active train yard so make sure your officiant has a microphone. Meredith and Tyler were very easy to work with while planning the event. I highly recommend getting married here. Oh, and your photos will look INSANE.
