The venue had a few hiccups, but overall we had a lovely reception there. The outdoor space was the highlight - truly gorgeous for photos. Communication on coordination was a bit spotty at times, but the maître d', Sergio, was a god send and stepped in to ensure things flowed smoothly. The food was phenomenal, as well! So many of our guests shared it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. We did have both our bridal attendants provided by the venue disappear on us shortly after we arrived, which was inconvenient since we would have paid for our own attendants if we knew that would be the case. While parts of the indoor space is dated, it worked out beautifully with some creative decor. When weighing everything in, the Woodwinds was a spectacular venue!

The venue is simply magical - the castle architecture and sweeping views of the water took our breath away and provided a fairy tale backdrop.

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.

I loved photographing Kelsey & Alex's micro wedding at The Spinning Wheel! The afternoon was so calm and easy with the Katlyn's great organization and the rest of the staff. The flowers and appeal of the venue is stunning in the spring and summer. For it being a small venue, there are still tons of different photo opportunities.

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.

From the moment my now-husband and I stepped foot into the Watermill, we knew it was the one. We had toured two other venues—both beautiful—but the instant I walked in, I felt in my heart and gut that this was where our fairytale wedding would come to life, and I was absolutely right. The venue is breathtaking inside and out, and the staff are some of the kindest, most genuine people we’ve ever met. Everyone treated us like family. We booked with Rob, who immediately made us feel we were in the best hands. That warmth extended to everyone—from Mary at the front desk to Maria and Lorraine, who helped coordinate every detail. Anytime we had a question, the team was quick to help and always went above and beyond. The morning of the wedding was hectic, but the moment I arrived, I was greeted by Sean, Olivia, Francesca, and Dom—and instantly felt calm. Sean, our maître d’, was exceptional. His reassuring presence made all the difference, especially when the weather threatened our outdoor ceremony. He handled everything seamlessly and kept us informed without ever making us feel rushed. His goal was to give us the best day of our lives, and he absolutely delivered. Our captain, Dom, was incredible. He anticipated every need and even packed up all our untouched reception food so we could enjoy it later. His attentiveness was unmatched. Our bridal attendants, Olivia and Francesca, were absolute angels. Olivia helped with my veil, bustled my dress in record time, kept me hydrated, and always found me with a drink in hand. She guided us with so much patience and kindness. Francesca was equally wonderful—always right there, fixing my dress, bringing water, and anticipating anything I might need. I didn’t have to lift a finger all day. Our families couldn’t stop raving about all four—Sean, Dom, Olivia, and Francesca. Everyone said it was the best service they had ever experienced at a wedding. And if the staff weren’t enough, the food and ambiance were just as incredible. Cocktail hour alone blew everyone away—Latin, Mediterranean, Italian, a bacon bar, a butcher block, and endless passed hors d’oeuvres. Dinner offered nine entrée options, and dessert included pastries and cookies at every table. Everything was phenomenal. Our guests are still talking nonstop about how perfect everything was—from the décor to the food to the outstanding service. I wish I could relive the entire day. Rob was right—at the Watermill, you are truly in the best hands!

The Bird and Bottle Inn was the perfect fairytale setting for our wedding. From the beginning, there were many emails back and forth to get all the details just right, but the staff was incredibly responsive and professional throughout the entire planning process. But they really shined the day of the wedding. The set-up and ceremony went so smoothly, they made sure everything was taken care of. Even last minute timeline switches like cutting the cake earlier in the night was made easy. We also were able to stay at the inn and get ready there which made things much easier on us. They had our signature drinks, champagne, and food ready and waiting for all the guests as soon as the ceremony was over. I have been to weddings where the entire cocktail hour we were just waiting on line to get a drink, this was perfectly set up. Drinks were also being continually poured and served at an inside and an outside bar, and if you couldn’t make it to the bar there was always a server nearby to help. There was even one server who was assigned just to us, he went above and beyond, always made sure we had anything we needed, always getting us drinks or more food, it was wonderful. And the food… the food was simply amazing - usually wedding food can be boring, or like it was just mass produced and pumped out of the kitchen, but their food was perfect. I am still thinking about the short rib and our guests are still raving about it over a month later. Literally one guest saying it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. And the space is so beautiful, there are so many lovely place for photos, and really makes it seem like you are in an enchanted place. The bridge over the little babbling brook for a first look, the garden ceremony by the pond, the cocktail hour on the patio, are just to name a few of the perfect spots on the property. And having our Photo Booth inside on the velvet couch was a unique touch guests really enjoyed! Not to mention getting our own private cottage to stay in! We also were able to move inside to the bar after the wedding was over with just the couple guests that were staying with us at the Inn and it was a lovely way to wind down after all the festivities were over. The entire team at The Bird and Bottle Inn truly went above and beyond to ensure our special day was everything we dreamed it would be. We couldn't have asked for a more magical venue to celebrate our love
