    Bride

    We chose The Spinning Wheel for our brunch wedding and couldn't have been happier with our decision. From our first conversation, Katlyn and her team showed genuine interest in making our day special—they listened to what we wanted and tailored everything to fit our vision. The space itself is picturesque and inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that made our 100 guests feel right at home. What really impressed us was their attention to detail; they thought through every little thing to ensure everything ran smoothly. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout the day, making sure we felt supported at every moment. We'd recommend The Spinning Wheel to any couple looking for a venue that cares as much about your wedding as you do.

    Best Ever! Can’t rate highly enough

    I am so happy we chose the Spinning Wheel for our wedding. We had about 90 guests but there would have been room for more, and we got so many compliments about the food, the quality and speed of service, the scenery, everything about the venue overall. Katlyn, who is in charge of running events, is highly professional, skilled, and just an all around great person. The ceremony and reception areas are both gorgeous, I fell in love with the gardens and string lights from the first time I visited. I would recommend the Spinning Wheel if you want to have an absolutely incredible experience!

    Thank you, Caroline, so much for your incredibly kind words! It was such a joy to be part of your special day. We are especially happy to hear how much you loved the gardens and string lights! It was truly a pleasure celebrating with you, and we are so grateful you chose The Spinning Wheel!!

    The Spinning Wheel

    The Spinning Wheel was such a wonderful venue for our daughter's wedding! Everything from the decor to the food and drinks to the staff and especially including Katlyn, the wedding coordinator, was outstanding! Wonderful memories were made in a traditional New England setting during the Christmas season. Fireplaces were lit, holiday wreaths adorned mantles all set the scene for a storybook wedding reception! It's such a beautiful setting nestled in the woods of Redding, CT!
