I had an incredible experience at The Barn at Villa Venezia for my wedding. Sara was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process and made sure every detail was taken care of leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, the staff went above and beyond, and everything ran so smoothly. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food and service were. I truly couldn’t have been happier with how perfect our wedding day turned out, and so much of that was thanks to The Barn.

We had our DREAM wedding at Stonebridge Country Club. From the first meeting with Diana to the day after our wedding and every day in between, everything was perfect. Any time I emailed or called, my questions were answered. Everyone was beyond helpful and kind. Stonebridge is a great venue for many reasons. Some of our favorite parts were that it is a one wedding venue, they have a beautiful outdoor or indoor ceremony area, they venue holds a lot of people, the wrap around bar in cocktail hour room stays open all night long, they have beautiful getting ready suites and we knew we would be in great hands. The day of our wedding was perfect. We got ready in the beautifully updated bridal and grooms suites. Dinora was our bridal attendant. She is absolutely AMAZING. Not only did she remember mine and my husbands family members names but she was acknowledging everyone by their names; my bridesmaids, groomsmen & the kids. Whenever I needed something she was there to assist. She is truly phenomenal and made our wedding perfect and seamless. Terrence/T- Money, is another amazing part of getting married at Stonebridge. He was our maître d’ but truly he wears so many hats. He and Dinora worked perfectly together. Terrence was helpful in so many ways. He helped my husband cool down with frozen towels which was perfect. He made sure we both had a drink, glass of water or anything we needed. He ran our ceremony and was there to cheer us on. I can’t imagine him not being a part of our special day. And lastly, Diana was very helpful from the moment we booked until the day after the wedding. She is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and always willing to help. She always made time for us. She was genuinely excited for our wedding day and she felt like family. My husband and I are so thankful that we got married at Stonebridge. We can’t wait to come back again as guests! Stonebridge will always be a special place for us.

We had our wedding at Kindred Creeks at the beginning of May 2022. I have so many great things to say about this place! First off, Jill was extraordinary, caring, attentive and so helpful from start to finish. She was able to work within our budget while keeping our dream wedding a reality. She had rain plans, sunny day plans, plans for more or less people and was thorough throughout. Her father, Gerry, who lives in the farm came out the day before and day of the wedding to make sure we were taken care of and that anything we needed would be done. And the tent staff was kind, courteous and officiant! The grounds itself were gorgeous! We were the first to use the airstream bridal suite which got so many compliments and great photos. They also redid the bridge across the creek for the wedding party to walk over during the ceremony. I fell in love with the green barn and even though it needs to come down soon, they held off construction so we could take pictures in front of it. We got married right where the two creeks meet which was so beautiful. All our guest had nothing be great things to say and we are beyond happy with the experience. If you are thinking of taking a tour of the farm, don’t hesitate! You will fall in love just like we did!

Less than a week ago, my now Wife and I hosted hundreds of our most near and dear loved ones for a wedding experience that was absolutely impeccable. From the beginning, Angela and her staff were attentive and supportive of our entire vision and dreams. Our goal was to recreate the authentic Italian wedding experience that we have come to enjoy in our travels, here in Connecticut-and the Grand Oak Villa delivered! The food is absolutely authentic and delicious, the acoustics and atmosphere are amazing & the decor and lighting is elegant. We would give anything to invite our friends and family to celebrate with us again, and Grand Oak Villa is where it would be.

Why choose La Bella Vista?! Wedding Factory? NOT US! We only host one wedding at a time! Featuring all-inclusive wedding packages, scratch made cuisine that your guests won’t soon forget, 6 hour reception times, exceptional staff & service. We’re conveniently located just minutes off of RT. 8 & I-84. Come see why we are the easy choice.

From our first conversation with Andrew, we knew La Bella Vista was the right choice for us. He genuinely cares about the venue and wants every detail to be perfect. You can tell he puts his heart and soul into every aspect (especially the food). Needless to say, the food was as phenomenal as he explained! We felt this energy throughout the entire process. Cara made planning stress-free by responding quickly to our questions and keeping us organized every step of the way. I am truly going to miss emailing and meeting with her. On our wedding day, Tricia was right there when we needed her, always attentive and ready to help with anything that came up. She came equipped with water and tissues, and felt like another mother figure on the big day. The whole team treated us like family. La Bella Vista delivered an elegant and classy experience. The cost was also completely fair for everything that you get both food and experience wise. If you want a stress- free wedding day that people talk about long after for all the right reasons, this place is for you!

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.

This was the first venue we looked at and we knew right away we needed to get married here. Truly one of the most beautiful ceremony locations I have ever seen. The team was amazing! We forgot the plug for our neon sign and they ran to the store to find a plug that worked. It poured 45 minutes before our ceremony, and the staff let us wait, and then dried everything off at the last minute, which gave us a rainbow at our ceremony. They were so flexible in making the timeline work due to our weather delay. The food was amazing, from the cocktail hour stations, to dinner, and the food at the after party. The venue felt so intimate and personal, we could not have picked a better place. 10000000% recommend!

As an event planner I was recently hired to manage a wedding at the Bristol Event Center and had an A experience throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is beautiful—spacious and super clean—and the ballroom worked perfectly for 180 people that wanted dinner as well as a giant dance floor. In the weeks and months leading up to the wedding Sarah (the wedding specialist onsite) was fantastic to work with. She was quick to answer questions, very detail-oriented, and completely in sync with me on the actual wedding day, which made everything run smoothly and on time. Load-in and load-out for vendors was also very easy. The banquet staff was efficient and pleasant and there were plenty of them onsite that evening, so service moved quickly. The food displays were visually appealing, with the raw bar being a real highlight, and having such a large pre-function space and patio gave guests plenty of options to chat and relax when they wanted to step outside of the main ballroom. We had one guest that was in a wheelchair, but the entire venue is accessible and that was no issue. Overall, both the space and the team were excellent, and I’d absolutely recommend the BEC without any hesitation. Thank you for helping to make my job so easy!

From our very first tour all the way to the end of our wedding day, we truly could not have asked for a more perfect wedding experience. We will forever be grateful to the incredible staff at Grassy Hill Country Club for making such an important and meaningful day feel absolutely magical and stress free. Our top priorities in searching for a venue were an enclosed outdoor ceremony space, indoor/outdoor cocktail hour space, lots of light and accessibility for guests both driving and commuting in from NYC. This venue fit all of these and we booked our date after our first visit. We appreciated the friendliness of the tour because they were very open and accommodating about any ideas we had and offered helpful ideas from previous weddings. The tour didn’t feel rushed or sales-focused like we experienced at a few of the nearby venues. The venue itself is gorgeous, with a nice hilly ride up into a mountain view and we loved that the ceremony gazebo was enclosed and didn’t have a view of golfers on the course. The communication with the general manager Tim was smooth from the beginning and he was extremely responsive to our questions at all hours of the day. His check-ins made us feel confident that everything was being checked off our list as we got closer to the wedding date. He made planning the wedding from out of state extremely easy by recommending great local vendors. Along with assisting with all of the small details he also personally ran the rehearsal where his attention to detail was very helpful and left everyone feeling prepared the night before the wedding. As a bride, I could not have been more thankful for the help of Tim and Tia the morning of my wedding. As expected I was full of emotions but their coordination made sure I was never hungry, hot or stressed. Being able to get ready at the venue let me have a calm morning and having multiple rooms allowed my husband and I to take turns taking photos with our family and side of the bridal party ahead of the ceremony without running into each other. Tia never missed a step and kept the bridal party well fed and comfortable. On top of that she assisted me with lining up with my father and gave me great words of comfort before such a big moment. From that point forward everything was taken care of by the amazing staff and we were able to fully be present at our wedding. They coordinated with the DJ and photographer and everything felt perfectly paced. The outdoor area overlooking the mountain was a perfect spot to step out, watch the beautiful sunset and get some fresh air. Thank you again to Tim, Tia and all of the incredible staff who made our day perfect.

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, CT, 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.

We started the wedding planning process by starting to look at venues. Falkirk was the first venue we had toured and immediately fell in love with it. From seeing the golf course, the waterfall, the gazebo, and incredible views, it was breathtaking and we imagined ourselves getting married there immediately. We met with Andrea during our tour, and had the pleasure of getting to work with her throughout our planning process, and was absolutely incredible on the day of our wedding! She made herself available to answer our (many) questions, going over timelines, and ensuring that our vision and dreams for the day came true. They had it all, from phenomenal staff to incredible food, not to mention the stunning views. We could not have asked for better! They truly make you feel like a VIP throughout the entire wedding weekend. Andrea was an absolute gem to work with, and made sure everything we dreamed of came true. And when we got the opportunity to have fireworks during our reception?! To this day, we have friends and family still talking about the firework show. Andrea worked seamlessly with other vendors and the firework staff to make sure it was a surprise show that no one would forget. Our wedding day was a dream, and we are so glad we had it at the Falkirk Estate and Country Club. We are so incredibly happy we got the pleasure to work with them, and would recommend any couples that are starting the wedding planning process, to reach out to them.

If you want a PARTY, book this venue. They have multiple rooms at this venue you can book depending on your headcount. We booked the Majestic Room on the top floor for 75 people. They also have the Swan Room that can fit over 150 people or something like that. The whole second floor was dedicated to our event. Here are some of the features it had that just makes sense functionally: we had a bridal suite that fit our whole bridal party and parents, an elevator since it was on the second floor, a grand staircase, our own bathrooms and bar separate from the downstairs area, a built-in dance floor, and a welcome landing. We had to bring minimal decorations, like centerpieces and such. They provide table settings, everything in the bar, name cards, and table numbers. We suggest finding a vendor for uplighting. Our DJ provided it for us and made the room look amazing. The food is fancy and delicious. In the days that followed our reception, we received compliments about the entrees and passed hors d’oeuvres. They are plated like an inspired high-end restaurant. We had an open bar and everyone was very pleased with the service. TLDR: these people know what they’re doing. The space is BUILT for weddings, not retrofitted, and it shows. The service is WHITE GLOVE and the food will impress your guests. Book this venue!

Our daughter and son-in-law had their wedding at City Winery Hudson Valley a few weeks ago and we are thrilled with our entire experience! We worked with Lerika from the very beginning when we first toured as our Sales Manager and communications with her throughout the process were perfect. Lerika also worked extremely well with our planner (Lauren F. from Wild Blooms – recommended by CW) and the two of them made sure all details were perfect. When we first toured CW, we loved all the different spaces and, due to a rainy wedding day, were very grateful for the many options. Although we intended for the ceremony to be by the river, the indoor space was beautiful and provided the perfect backdrop made even more beautiful with white flowers that popped against the brick and windows. And having cocktail hour within the bar area and restaurant, which they closed for us, made our event very private and allowed for sufficient seating during that time. The buttlered hors d’oeuvres were plentiful and the stations constantly replenished so they always looked stocked. Service was incredible throughout the day and our guests appeared to be served dinner all at once, and wait staff were very attentive. There were never lines at the bar during cocktail hour or the reception which was helped by the table wine service. We chose the Steak Bavette for our beef entrée and I was concerned the 6 oz standard portion would be too small so we upgraded to 8 oz which ended up being huge! And all the food served throughout the day was delicious! Lerika was attentive throughout the wedding day as was Tiffany, the CW event coordinator, who we did not meet until that day. Lerika and Tiffany anticipated our needs and made sure we were all taken care of throughout the day. Security identified a potential issue with one of our guests who had too much to drink and discreetly and professionally addressed it without our even knowing about it. We had more than 160 guests in attendance and the space was big enough to ensure it was easy to move around the tables while still feeling intimate. I love that we were able to place only two rows of tables on each side of the dance floor so everyone was close to the activity and never far apart. Our guests danced throughout the wedding which made it very fun. With recommendations from CW, we selected a florist (Laruen P. from Wild Blooms) and bistro lighting from Fox Haus that transformed the space and made it so beautiful. All the photos are absolutely gorgeous even though most were taken indoors. We also reserved the boiler bar for the guys to get ready which was fun for them and the Nest for the ladies which was spacious and beautiful. And lastly, we hosted an afterparty in the boiler bar for the friends of the bride and groom which was perfect to give them extra time with their close friends! CW hosts a combined food tasting for all couples with scheduled weddings and it gave us a great glimpse of what the actual wedding day would be like with plenty of special and personal touches for the bride and groom. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was, and we continue to receive so many compliments from our guests! It was fun, it was beautiful, it was delicious, it was perfectly what our daughter and son-in-law envisioned!

For our wedding we had a big guest list and were struggling to find a venue that fit that count comfortably will also pulling in the outdoor elements that felt most like us—fortune valley manor was perfect! Kerri the wedding owner/planner if phenomenal. She is extremely detail oriented and is running a well oiled machine! Absolutely nothing was amiss the entire day! The staff was so incredible, kind, and attentive! Shelia the bridal attendant is the sweetest human and made sure we had everything we need day of! Our guest could not stop and still continue to compliment us on the venue, the food (seriously THE FOOD, unreal!!) , the incredible staff..etc!

Our wedding at The Riverview was truly one of the most incredible experiences of our lives, and we honestly cannot stop reliving how perfect everything felt. From the moment we started planning to the very last song of the night, every detail was handled with so much care, professionalism, and genuine warmth.

Her calm, confident presence made such a difference, and we always felt like we were in the best hands. Brittany, the assistant coordinator, was equally wonderful and so attentive, kind, and supportive every step of the way.

They anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made sure we could truly be present and soak in every moment.

The waitstaff was incredibly professional, fast, and attentive, making all of our guests feel so well taken care of. And the food, wow! It was beyond delicious. We are still hearing from guests about how amazing every course was. It truly exceeded all expectations. Nicole and Will at the bar were fantastic, friendly, efficient, and so fun.
