Awarded Best of Zola
I first found the Riverhouse searching on Zola. My husband and I spoke with Holly for our initial appointment. Holly had light music playing over the speakers when we arrived, and when I walked into the ballroom and onto the dance floor, I looked at my now husband and said, “This is it, I hope they have a date in 2025 available”. The planning process with Kelley and the team was wonderful! The worksheets that are provided make planning easy and outline all the tasks clearly. We attended their vendor show which helped us determine exactly what we were looking for in our vendors to design our perfect wedding day. Our detail meeting about a month before our wedding day was smooth and we easily made all our banquet choices. A week before our wedding, we met with Holly to ensure our day of timeline was exactly how we wanted it – she totally nailed it day of! We have been to many weddings, and we believed that food was one of the most important parts of our day. We were blown away by the quality (and quantity!) of food at the Riverhouse. At our tasting, my husband and I ranked the appetizer, salad and dinner choices. The rankings were so high, we had trouble narrowing it down! It’s been about 3 weeks, and our guests are still complementing our food and saying how beautiful the venue was. The mac and cheese bar has been a HUGE hit with our guests. On our wedding day, Holly and Loretta kept everything smooth and seamless and both ladies provided a calming atmosphere when things started to feel chaotic (shout out to Loretta for grabbing me tums!). It truly seemed as if all the staff at the Riverhouse enjoyed our wedding event as much as our guests did! The food service was outstanding and went right along with our timeline, our bartenders were flawless, and we totally spied a little bit of dancing going on to our music and we were absolutely overjoyed! We would like to thank everyone at the Riverhouse for making our day amazing! We hope to see you all again sometime soon!

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 can’t even put into words how special my wedding was thanks to The Lake House (but I’m going to try lol). I found this location on Zola and when I contacted the owner, Paul, it was like speaking to an old friend even though we had never met before. He is so sincere and thoughtful and has the best tips and tricks for wedding planning. I never hired a wedding planner and I was a little overwhelmed in the beginning of my planning process but Paul was there every step of the way for me. He answered all my emails filled with dumb questions and he advised me in the best way. Carole, my wedding coordinator at the venue, was an absolute gem as well and made things so easy. My wedding was 11/16/24 (the last wedding of their season!) and I still have guests telling me how fantastic everything was. Especially the FOOD. I truly dream about the filet mignon and tiramisu we had about twice a week lol. I can’t say enough amazing things about this venue. I would have my next birthday party here just so I can see Paul and Carole again and eat more of the delicious food lol. The location is GORGEOUS and they truly made my wedding the best night of my entire life.

We can not come up with enough nice words to say about the Bristol Event Center. From the time we decided to have our wedding here to the big day, their team was informative, supportive, and as professional a staff could be. Sarah and Julia helped us through everything and made sure all of our needs were taken care of. The ballroom was beautiful and the perfect setting for any wedding. Having the hotel attached is also a huge plus for guests coming from out of town. 10/10 in every category and we would recommend the Bristol Event Center to anyone looking for a venue to have their special day!

I honestly forget if I already wrote a review for The Lace Factory, but recently I was reflecting on our wedding day and a few things stuck out that had me so thankful we held our reception at The Lace Factory. From the beginning of the planning process the team is extremely clear and communicative. I love a checklist and theirs is one that ensures nothing will be forgotten. Our guests are still sharing how gorgeous the venue was, how incredible the food spread was, and one detail I was surprised by, from my cousin who has been to their fair share of large celebrations. "The food was not only delicious, but they managed to serve such a large group and the food was actually hot!" This speaks to the well-oiled machine that is The Lace Factory and it must be emphasized that this machine has heart. They accomplished another feat of having my family and I not worry about the severe allergy of my dad, as they adjusted the menu accordingly, without us having to miss out on all the options. This carried over to assist some guests who also had specific dietary needs. I realize this sounds boring, but it is wonderful to know your guests are safe and fed and focus on the celebrating! The Lace Factory is a venue that can transform your wedding into something beyond your dreams while holding true to your vision.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Grand Oak Villa on 11/17/23 and could not have asked for a better experience. From the start of our wedding planning experience, Angela and Tarin were absolutely amazing. They made my husband and I feel so welcome and treated us like family from the very beginning. About eight months before the wedding I tore my ACL and had surgery and Tarin even checked in with me to see how the surgery went and wish me well. As we got closer to the wedding, the girls made sure that everything went off without a hitch. They checked with us about our other vendors, gave us some advice, and helped us double and triple check all of our information right up to the day of the wedding. They reduced our wedding planning stresses by so much!!! The venue was absolutely gorgeous the day of our wedding, the food was beyond delicious, and all of the staff were so kind and friendly. Our personal server, Diana, was truly the star of the show on wedding day. She checked in with us at the exact right time, every time. She never made us feel like she was interrupting, but she was always there right when we needed her. And our drinks were never empty! We truly cannot say enough good things about the Grand Oak Villa and the lovely staff there. They really felt like family. Every single one of our guests remarked that the food was incredible, drinks were made perfectly, and the staff was so kind. Angela even personally greeted our parents the night of the wedding. I’d give this place ten stars if I could!

No matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, you’re welcome here.” Situated on the picturesque duck pond in Milford, First UCC is a historic and inclusive sanctuary dedicated to celebrating love in all its forms. As an Open and Affirming Congregation, we proudly welcome LGBT+ weddings and couples from all walks of life to begin their marriage journey within our walls. Whether you envision a grand, traditional ceremony or a quiet, tender exchange of vows, our venue offers two distinct spaces to suit your vision. Our historic Meetinghouse Sanctuary provides a breathtaking, monumental backdrop with soaring ceilings and classic architecture, while our Plymouth Building Chapel offers a warm, intimate atmosphere for those sharing their day with a close circle of family and friends.

We had our small family wedding at First UCC of Milford and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The natural light in the sanctuary is gorgeous, and having the option between a small chapel and larger sanctuary was incredibly helpful - we ultimately chose the larger space, which had the traditional center aisle that was perfect for our ceremony. Reverend Adam and Reverend Ashley are both amazing to work with. Adam was thoughtful, flexible, and supportive throughout the planning process, helping us figure out exactly what we needed for our intimate family celebration. He even connected us with an organist, which made the ceremony feel truly special. Practical details: There’s plenty of parking, and the church hall downstairs has AC and a kitchen, which is great for receptions or gatherings. The sanctuary itself isn’t air conditioned, but that wasn’t an issue for our June wedding. The location is unbeatable for photos! The iconic Milford town green with its bridge and duck pond provided stunning backdrops - our photographer was thrilled with the options, and those spots have been treasured by generations of couples. So many friends who saw our pictures had taken their own in the same spot, some over 50 years ago. Working with this church was such a meaningful experience that I have since become a member. We are so grateful our wedding brought us to this wonderful community.

After trips to other different venues, I knew East Wind was for us. The venue was rustic and beautiful. Jen McLaughlin, our sales rep, was awesome and consistent throughout the whole process. Very sweet, pleasant, communicative, prompt and was reliable regarding concerns I have. Fast forward to our wedding day, 12/8, it was perfect and everything I could ask for. Reid, the maitre d, took over and made everything seamless. Placed all my DIY decorations as they should be and more, turned my vision to reality. Very mellow guy. Patient, sweet, chill and very attentive to our needs. Our wedding party loved him! And Barbara, our bridal attendant, what a doll! Very nurturing presence. She was very lowkey and whatever I asked help for, it was magically done right away. I asked for food or drink, done. Honestly, all the staff had been awesome to us, including the bartenders, the waiters. It was perfect, none that gave us headaches at all. And the food. Our guests couldn't stop raving about it. It was delicious and never ending. I wanted to attend to any wedding at East Wind just to have a great dinner and experience everything again. Thankful for this bunch! ️️

I booked a board retreat here (August 2025). The view was simply breathtaking, and the ambiance created an elegance that permeated every aspect of the day. What truly sets this place apart (besides the view and beautifully maintained grounds) was the impeccable organization Samantha and her crew depicted. Every detail was clearly well thought-out and executed flawlessly, making the entire experience incredibly smooth and enjoyable. The timeline flowed seamlessly, transitions between different segments of the retreat were effortless, and there was a palpable sense of calm that allowed everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. This is the second time booking here and both times the food was delicious and flavorful.
