5 stars is not enough. Our wedding was without a doubt the most perfect event we could have ever wished for. From the beginning planning stages, Hattie, Lauren, Kelley, everyone was so incredibly responsive, helpful and answered a million questions from myself or my mom. They worked with us to ensure everything was perfect, and we could not have had a more elegant wedding without the help of the entire venue staff. From day of Rob and everyone who assisted made sure things ran so smoothly. One of our busses was delayed due to traffic (Memorial Day Weekend- no surprise there) & even with the minor inconvenience the staff made sure that things ran so smoothly that myself (the bride) and my guests really had no clue things were pushed back a tiny bit. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable. We had our cocktail hour both inside & outside and adding a second bar was ideal. We added a sushi bar, and my guests are still talking about how delicious it was. They accommodated all of our requests with ease, and I wish I could relive the day and night over and over again. All of my vendors informed me during the planning process just how professional and wonderful the venue is, and it could not be more true. They all worked seamlessly with Riverhouse. Our personal attendants were wonderful, ensuring myself and my husband had the best day and night of our lives. Most venues do not offer suites for grooms, and I am so happy that the men were able to have their own place to relax and hangout. our bridal suite was prepared perfectly for us with champagne snacks and everything we needed. Quality service is hard to come by these days, but every single staff member working at our wedding went above and beyond to make sure my husband, myself and my guests had an incredible night. My guests are still raving weeks later about the wedding. I could not recommend this venue and the entire staff enough, get married here!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most perfect wedding!!! ️️️

We cannot say enough about how incredible Bill Miller’s Castle in Branford, Connecticut, was for our November 8th, 2024 wedding. This family-owned and operated venue exceeded every expectation and delivered a level of care, sincerity, and expertise that left us speechless. From start to finish, Lisa, Victoria, and Christina were nothing short of phenomenal. From our very first meeting to the final moments of our celebration, they treated us like part of their family. Every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and precision—from decor and catering to timeline coordination, vendor recommendations, and bar service. Their willingness to step in and go above and beyond made our day seamless and magical. The venue itself is a true gem. The stunning architecture created a fairytale-like atmosphere that felt otherworldly. Every corner of the castle offered a unique and breathtaking backdrop, making it a dream come true. We cannot thank Lisa, Victoria, and Christina enough for their hard work, dedication, and genuine care for making our wedding day so perfect. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! We highly recommend Bill Miller’s Castle to anyone searching for a venue that delivers excellence in every way. With love and gratitude, Trey and Cory

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!
