My wedding at Aqua Blue Hotel was everything I wanted it to be. From the beginning communications to the very end of our wedding day, the Aqua Blue Events team was amazing. Every email (and panic text) was answered quickly. I was able to drop everything off 48 hours before and they stored in a locked closet for me. I was guided seamlessly through my day by our event coordinator so I never fell behind. Highly recommend Aqua Blue!

Our daughter’s wedding reception was held at GrandView in April 2024. Our choice of this venue was one of the best decisions that we ever made! The food was wonderful – I received comments from guests that the food was hot when it arrived at their table. It was a “wow” moment when they opened the doors to the dining room – the room was stunning. Our guests were so impressed by the ladies room that they took pictures in there – I’ll leave it to you to visit the venue to find out why. Another popular place for our guests to take pictures was in front of the champagne wall. Erin, our coordinator, ensured that the event went flawlessly – she was such a pleasure to work with! GrandView staff even packed up our car for us at the end of the night. You will know exactly how much the event will cost you when you sign the contract because the wedding cake, provided by an Italian bakery, and the open bar are included in the price provided. To quote many of our guests, the reception was “phenomenal”.

If you imagine a waterfront venue on your wedding day, then look at what the Water’s Edge Resort & Spa offers. Less than two hours from New York and Boston and under forty-five minutes from Hartford, Water’s Edge has been hosting the most memorable bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, ceremonies by the beach, and receptions in our ballrooms for decades. Traditional or unconventional, festive or formal – a view of the water complements any wedding. With the one-of-a-kind backdrop provided by the views of the water, it’s easy to see why Water’s Edge is a perennial wedding destination in Connecticut.

We recently had our wedding at Water’s Edge Resort and Spa, and overall, it was a beautiful and memorable day. The setting is absolutely stunning, with a gorgeous waterfront backdrop that sets the tone for a romantic, coastal celebration. The Venue: The venue itself is the real star. The ceremony space overlooking the water is breathtaking, and our guests were wowed. The Royal Ballroom was elegant and clean, though it felt a bit tight for our 200-person guest count and had a small dance floor. The staff did a great job setting up. One of the biggest positives was their effort to keep our ceremony outside despite some tricky weather. Plan B changed multiple times throughout the day, but they were flexible and made a call two hours before—allowing us to have a lovely outdoor ceremony on the patio. The Coordination Team: This is where things fell short. The onsite wedding coordinators did their jobs but offered little more. They operate within a narrow set of rules, and most non-standard requests were met with a “no.” If you want anything custom, you’ll need to go to the head of sales. We strongly recommend hiring an independent wedding planner. The coordinators are not substitutes for a full-service planner and do not assist with day-of timelines. Don’t expect personalized guidance—you’ll need to advocate for yourself throughout. Tasting & Food: The tasting experience was one of the low points. The food was poorly executed, and it left us anxious. That said, the kitchen completely redeemed itself on the big day. The wedding food was delicious, well-presented, and received many compliments from our guests. We’re grateful they delivered when it mattered most. Pricing & Contracts: Expect extra charges for nearly everything. Review your contract closely—Water’s Edge adheres strictly to what’s written, even when verbal communication during planning differs. This added stress and confusion. Their team is extremely contract-focused, so nothing should be assumed unless it’s clearly in writing. Hotel & Room Block: The hotel is beautiful but expensive. Managing the room block was more difficult than anticipated, and we were quoted one rate, but our final contract reflected another. This required a lot of back-and-forth to sort out and added unnecessary friction to the planning process. Final Thoughts: Despite the challenges, we had a truly wonderful wedding day. The venue was stunning, our guests had an amazing time, and everything ran smoothly thanks to their structured operation. Water’s Edge is definitely a “wedding factory”—they’re efficient, but not especially flexible or tailored. If you go in with clear expectations, a strong outside planner, and a willingness to advocate for what you want, you can absolutely have the wedding of your dreams here. We’re grateful for the memories and happy with how everything turned out in the end.

Our wedding at Lake Pearl Wrentham was an absolute dream. From the moment we booked with them, their communication was timely, attentive, consistent, and they were so patient as we navigated the planning process. The quality of their work and overall value was truly outstanding - the venue was beautifully kept, clean, and organized, and the food was so delicious. It was so great to work with the entire team, as they took care of everything and I didn't need to worry about a single thing from planning to the night of our wedding! The venue itself was more amazing than I could have imagined, with the beautiful beach and Belvedere space that our guests raved about. I couldn't recommend Lake Pearl Wrentham more highly for any couple looking for the perfect wedding venue!

We were over the moon with our wedding at Saint Clement's Castle. The venue is simply magical - the castle architecture and sweeping views of the water took our breath away and provided a fairy tale backdrop. The team was a dream to work with, very responsive throughout planning and attentive to all our needs and vision. Our day-of-coordinator was a rockstar, making us feel like royalty. Everything flowed seamlessly thanks to her and the staff. The little touches like the heartfelt note at the end of the night were so thoughtful. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the venue and service. If you want an stress-free wedding with wow factor, look no further than Saint Clement's.
