We had our wedding on 6/22/2024 at Angel & Anchor Farm with 125 guests. It was absolutely the best day ever thanks to the venue owners, Bill and Nicole. The venue is absolutely stunning. There are so many spots on the farm for your ceremony, for photos, etc. The farm was in full bloom in June as well. The bridal and groomsmen suite were also stunning, and offered a beautiful and cozy space for everyone to get ready in the morning. Bill and Nicole are also incredible. They truly did everything possible to make our wedding day so special. We didn't have to worry about a single thing, they were on it. From making adjusting for weather, setting up our beautiful reception tent, to attending the fire and more, they made our day absolutely flawless. If anything went wrong, my husband and I didn't know about it because Bill and Nicole just took care of it. We absolutely loved our wedding day and our guests kept saying the same. The farm is sprawling and offers so much space for guests to walk around and mingle. Everyone truly had an amazing time. Couldn't recommend the venue enough.

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!!! ️️️

The space was transformed from a restaurant and ski lodge into a lovely ceremony space and magical reception area. The decor outside our wedding space was decked out for Christmas, which went perfectly with our rustic winter theme and made our photographs look fantastic. Marla and Powder Ridge accommodated our every need and assembled our vision without a flaw. Not to mention, the food was absolutely delicious! We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to bring our wedding to life.

Alex knew all of our family members and bridal party’s names, and was extremely personable. She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of all night. She brought me a snack before the ceremony and continuously brought me my water all day and night (without me asking)They truly make you feel like a VIP throughout your entire day and their top notch team(along with our caterer David Alan) ensured that everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. In the early stages of planning we worked with Jessica Hess and she is extremely helpful and communicative. The mansion truly felt like home for the day. We hosted our ceremony on the vista , cocktail hour was on the terrace, and we had dinner in the East ballroom. Guests were in awe of the estate (we also lucked out with absolutely perfect weather), and how every detail was perfectly executed. Our special day was truly a dream and felt like it was out of a movie! We could not recommend the Wadsworth Mansion enough, and can't wait to return for future celebrations. It's definitely well-worth the investment and would 10/10 recommend hosting your special day here!

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.

Our wedding was everything we could have hoped for and dreamed about thanks to the CT Wedding Group and The Pavilion on Crystal Lake. The entire team was so responsive, understanding, and truly remarkable. Our day of wedding coordinator Mary Schilling was unbelievable. She treated us like royalty, she asked about and understood our family dynamics right away, she had drinks for us at the end of the aisle and food for us in the bridal suite and anticipated our needs before we could even ask for anything. HIGHLY recommend. The wait staff was incredible, and our guests simply cannot stop raving about the food - even 7 months later. Our ceremony was on the property with sparkling lights and just absolutely magical. My father had passed away just over a month before our wedding, and yet they had so so many beautiful little touches to bring his spirit into our special day. I could not recommend this venue or team any more!!!

The Bristol Event Center made all our NYE wedding dreams come true! The venue is absolutely gorgeous, from the floor to ceiling windows, tall ceilings, huge bars, and high-end finishes. Everything was sparkling and new. Having two spacious hospitality suites upstairs to get ready in (or to touch-up during the reception) was a huge bonus. The staff at the BEC was amazing, from our initial tour to the day of. They are experts in the hospitality industry. They got back to us quickly with any question and were extremely accommodating with all our requests. Even our vendors commented how great they were to work with! Food was very important to us and the BEC nailed it! It was difficult to narrow down our hors d'oeuvres choices because everything was so amazing at the tasting. The chef was extremely accommodating to all our requests, including a huge raw bar during cocktail hour which was the talk of the wedding. Lastly, I can’t emphasize how convenient it was for our guests to stay in the hotel next door. Our guests stayed at the DoubleTree which was a 2 minute walk, or they could take one of the shuttles that staff were running back and forth. We also had our afterparty in one of the hotel ballrooms. Staff from both the BEC and Doubletree worked together to make this seamless. It will be even more convenient now that the connected Home2Suites is open for guests! Overall, our experience with the Bristol Event Center was a 1000/10. If you’re looking for a brand-new, sparkling venue with amazing service, food, and convenience, this is your place.

Our wedding day at Tunxis was perfect!! What initially drew us to Tunxis was that it would be beautiful and comfortable rain or shine. Our day of coordinator, Camille, was amazing - extremely responsive to emails and very communicative. She made the whole weekend run smoothly, from the rehearsal the day before the wedding, to day of, and even after. She made every detail happen and was very organized. We had SO many people come up to us at the end of the night saying that the food was the best wedding food they had ever had! Amazing chef, wait staff, bartenders, etc. So glad we chose Tunxis for our venue!

Just had our wedding here on June 21, 2025! The Barrel Room - We had 32 guests and it was the perfect fit. They also have a bigger room, The Green Room if you have a larger guest count. Planning - Christine the New Park staff were absolutely amazing! She answered every single question we had, helped us out with those small details, and made every step so easy! Thankfully the venue took care of the tables, chairs, & place settings. We got 2 hours for set up & 1 hour for tear down, and as a DIY bride this was so great! Food - We really wanted a meal that we would enjoy and didn’t want traditional “wedding food”. We opted for Patty’s Pizza catering stationed hors d’oeuvres from Salt & Pepper Catering. Our guests were obsessed with the pizza and kept talking about it all week. Highly recommend - Veggie, Artichoke, Meatball, Pepperoni, with Caesar Salad. Spring Rolls, Korean BBQ skewers, Pollo Asado Empanada, Nashville Hot Chicken Bites, Beef Barbacoa Empanada. They also have a ton of other options like a pub menu, Gato’s Tacos, brunch, buffet, & dessert options. Alcohol - We opted for the Beer, Wine, & Liquor option and it was a hit with our guests. The Blender was a hit even for those who don’t usually drink beer! Parking - There was an event the same day as our wedding so the parking was a bit tight but they have parking in the back street parking. Thankfully we told our guests to use ride-share so they could enjoy the open bar! Decor - The Barrel Room was already so cute we really didn’t need much extra decor. From cute pink palm tree wall to the barrels with plants everywhere, it was stunning. We were able to pick the table and place setting arrangements and napkin colors. We also got to use their arch which added a great addition to the ceremony space. Music - I am such a music girly that I really wanted my exact playlists playing. They provided this speaker mic that worked perfectly for our needs. I created several playlists on Spotify that we used all night and plugged in our IPad. Our guests had a blast and so glad we opted to go this route. Happy to share my playlists, if you are interested! Dog Friendly - Another requirement we had for our wedding was to have our pup attend. There was plenty of room for us to have him there and be a part of the ceremony while also having his own space to relax during the rest of the wedding. Things to Know - If you are having your ceremony in this room, they don’t really have a place to “hide” before your guests arrive. We really wanted to spend a lot of time with our guests so we both were in the room as everyone arrived. If they didn’t have the event the same day, they offered for us to hide in the green room. Overall - We really wanted an all inclusive type venue that was within our budget. Our main priorities were food, drinks, and overall guest experience. If you are having an intimate wedding where you want to have your ceremony, cocktail hour, and rehearsal dinner all in one space, this is the place for you! I’m sure this would also be great for a bridal shower or rehearsal dinner! Or look into The Green Room if you have a larger guest count!

Lisa, Victoria, and the team at Bill Miller's Castle are truly the best. From the moment you step into the Castle to start your tour, you're surrounded by history - not only of the surrounding cities, but for the Miller family as well. The care and love that they have for this space is clearly evident and the character brings such charm and warmth. It truly was the perfect place for us. Lisa was our guiding light throughout the whole process. We felt welcomed when we were with her and she took such great care of us and the details of our day, which allowed everything to turn out exactly as we had imagined. Her knowledge of local vendors as well was truly so helpful for us as we planned our wedding from out of town. There truly is no better place to plan an event than at Bill Miller's if you're in Branford or the surrounding areas. [photos by Rob Skinner Photography]

I had my wedding here last week. Holy crap, they knocked it out of the park. Several people said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. They said the food was so good they’d come back if it were a restaurant. The cake was also outstanding and so delicious (shout out to Paula!). More than all of that, Jonna the bridal attendant took care of me and my husband so well that we hardly had to worry about anything. We got to eat everything because she set it aside for us and we set aside time for a calm moment. She made sure we got to take the cake home. She was an excellent communicator, made sure everyone was where they needed to be and she was somehow always there when we needed her. It was like she was everywhere all at once! I thought I was going to need to corral people to help me take stuff home that night. Nope! She knew who my immediate family was and had them grab a few things. She made it all low stress. Linda was amazing in the planning process. She was communicative and diligent on following up on our loose ends. I always felt like she was there if I needed her. Chris was our salesperson and did a wonderful job. He went above and beyond and met us right before (or after) closing because it was the only time that worked for us. He made us so excited to book the place and the team truly delivered!! I wish I could get married AGAIN and I’d do it here! Ps you HAVE to book Bruno of Beauty and Life Captured! If you book here. He is masterful with the lighting of this place. Truly so talented!
