Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- It's charmingly rustic and delightfully elegant. This authentic historic barn located between Hartford and New Haven has been meticulously restored and features an open-beam ceiling, intimate lighting, and slate and wood flooring.
- Gorgeous décor options make it easy to customize the space. An events team will take care of all the details to create your vision, with anything from sparkling chandeliers and bistro lights, to hanging vines, fabric lanterns, and a lush garden wall.
- The seasonal menus are full of exciting culinary experiences. You can choose from a delicious array of creative action stations, handcrafted hors d'oeuvres, and signature drinks, plus locally sourced desserts and fun late-night snacks.
