I had the pleasure of working with Hope Lodge Venue recently as a wedding photographer and I can say they are a fantastic choice . Their communication style is incredibly responsive, helpful, and enthusiastic - they go above and beyond to ensure every detail is taken care of. Great quality of work for a the value ; the venue is open, clean, bright, and airy, creating the perfect atmosphere for a wedding or big event . One memorable example was when the staff dressed up along with the Gatsby-themed wedding, truly immersing themselves in the couple's vision. My only suggestion would be for them to potentially expand their parking area in the future, but overall, Hope Lodge Venue is an excellent option for couples seeking a beautiful, well-managed wedding venue and one they could decorate and make their own.

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.

As a vendor, TPC River Highlands is one of the best venues in the state to work at. The team at TPC is welcoming, trustworthy, responsible, and most importantly passionate. Pamela, the Sales & Catering Manager, is the at the center of providing such a positive experience for both vendors and couples. She goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone's day runs smoothly and is there to immediately solve anything that needs to be addressed. In addition to the staff, the venue and surrounding area speaks for itself. As a videographer, having a venue that has beautiful surroundings and visually pleasing areas is a MUST. TPC has a beautiful ceremony site that overlooks the stunning fairways of their golf course with trees, lakes, and gorgeous sunsets. These views double as the perfect spot to take couples for portraits and family sessions. The overall experience that you will find at TPC is unmatched and I am always excited when I see their name on my wedding schedule.

The Carousel Museum is truly a beautiful and unique venue, and very affordable compared to other venues. My wife picked this place, and at first I couldn't understand how people get married here...then we get upstairs to the ballroom and I was sold. The chandeliers from the ceiling, the gorgeous wood, the colors and aesthetic can pretty much work with whatever your theme is. The staff were great, a couple minor issues leading up to the event but all things considered they did a fantastic job handling everything. Highly recommended!

I have loved coming to the Essex Steam Train & Riverboat museum since I was a child so when my husband and I got engaged, we knew we had to get married here. It was such a magical venue and was reasonably priced. They truly don't try to nickel-and-dime you like a lot of other wedding venues, they just want you to have a good experience. The bridal suite was a beautifully decorated air-conditioned train car. We also decided to add on a roundtrip steam train ride down to the CT river and a steamboat cruise as our cocktail hour (honestly didn't cost as much as you'd think...). Our reception was inside the hall and was perfectly air-conditioned and decorated. We did a buffet option and the food was good! If you decide to get married outside, just remember that it IS an active train yard so make sure your officiant has a microphone. Meredith and Tyler were very easy to work with while planning the event. I highly recommend getting married here. Oh, and your photos will look INSANE.

We're so happy we picked Larimar for our wedding venue! From start to finish, we had an all-around great experience. Gabriella was incredible - she helped us through every step of the planning process and went above and beyond to answer all our questions. On the wedding day, she did a phenomenal job coordinating all the details with us, our vendors and kept things running smoothly - my husband and I were able to fully enjoy our wedding day without the stress thanks to her. The food was also excellent - our wedding was a few weeks ago, and guests are still raving about how much food we had and how great it was. The service was also excellent - all of the staff was friendly, efficient and brought the energy... even on the dancefloor! And of course, the venue was gorgeous and was perfect for our guest count and personal tastes. We also loved how Larimar includes so much in their wedding packages; things other venues would have nickel and dimed us for were included in our pricing and/or easily accomodated. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our wedding day was enjoyable, relaxing, and exactly how we had envisoned. We highly recommend Larimar to all couples looking for an incredible venue.
