My husband and I were looking at venues for our wedding and Cedarbrook Barn was recommended by an acquaintance. It just so happened to be that this venue is five minutes down the road from my childhood home, and I never realized it was there. We were almost instantly sold, and we had our wedding here on 6/24/23. Our ceremony and reception were beyond our expectations, and I would absolutely recommend Cedarbrook Barn to anyone who is looking for a venue in Southeastern CT.
I cannot say enough good things about Cedarbrook! Rick and Michele are so welcoming and helpful. The fact that you have this gorgeous backdrop but can make it fit any style is exactly what drew me in. I’m so happy we chose cedarbrook barn. We had the best day!
Cedarbrook Barn was everything my husband and I wanted in a venue and more. The couple that owns the barn, Rick and Michelle, are absolutely wonderful. They were quick to respond to any questions that we had and always helped to make our vision come true whenever they could. We will always highly recommend the barn to anyone in search of a venue!
Amazing one of a kind venue! A hidden gem and a MUST see!
VENDOR review of Cedarbrook Barn by JP by the Sea
I have officiated two weddings and was the wedding planner for one wedding at Cedarbrook Barn this year. When I first saw the property, I could not believe what a unique and gorgeous rustic venue this was! As you enter the property, you just have a feeling that you are about to see someplace very special and private. A small pond with a dock and a wooden covered bridge greets you as you enter the property. All fantastic spots for photos! After the bridge, a windy road through a cedar tree grove (they smell amazing, windows open if possible!) leads you to an open clearing featuring the large, beautiful, pristine red barn. The grounds are maintained meticulously and lovingly by the owners. As the barn doors slide open, a warm, rustic event space is revealed. High ceilings with a loft and unlimited potential for design and decor. An outstanding detail that I love- your site rental includes most of the week for setup and breakdown, very rare to find! The owners, Rick and Michele, are the kindest and most down to earth couple who are always on hand to help with any questions or helpful suggestions. The couples that I've officiated and event planned for were ecstatic with their experiences at Cedarbrook Barn. It is truly a place that is meant for happy celebrations with family and friends. These memories will last a lifetime. If you are fortunate enough to find a date open for this magical venue, you would be wise to book IMMEDIATELY! I cannot recommend Cedarbrook Barn highly enough and can't wait to plan or officiate our next wedding there.
This is the most beautiful venue with the greatest hosts you could wish for! Rick and Michele helped my husband and I create the wedding of our dreams. Our friends and family raved that they had the best time at our wedding and wish they were as lucky to have such a beautiful venue. Rick and Michele were more than accommodating and helped bring our visions to life! We recommend Cedarbrook Barn to everyone looking to host their special day in a beautifully remote setting with the capability of having flexibility in important factors such as catering, photography, DJ's, etc. We are forever grateful for Rick and Michele opening their doors at Cedarbrook Barn to kick off the start of our 'happily ever after'!
The absolute most beautiful wedding venue! This venue is all about DIY - you can decorate how you want, pick a caterer you want, and get an additional tent (or 2) if you need more room (like we did)! You can start decorating days in advance before your wedding which was such a huge plus (compared to other places where you have to set up within hours before your wedding.) Rick and Michele were extremely helpful in recommending outside vendors for flowers, food, alcohol, tents, hotels, transportation, etc. You name it, Rick and a Michele were there with an answer. Weather changed unexpected the day before our wedding, and Rick and Michele proposed multiple back-up plan possibilities that made us feel at ease. The day was absolutely perfect! One of our vendors messed up, and Rick was able to get it fixed for us. This is hands down the place you need to get married. Your venue search is over.
Relentless interference from the property owners—I think they truly believe they are being helpful when in reality, they are intrusive, unprofessional, and difficult to work with. They should have had minimal involvement the day of and yet the owner tried changing around our decor and embarrassed us in front of our photographer, creating a very tense, uncomfortable environment for our wedding party on what was already a stressful day. We tried to make the best of it and it was a beautiful property, but some people should just not be in the wedding business—not worth the hassle.
This place is beautiful, set back off the road. Very cute barn, outdoor area is very well kept. That is where the good part ends. The owners should not be in this business. I was in the wedding party and was a part of a lot of things. The bride and groom are excellent people Rick made their lives a living hell with making things as difficult as possible. Beyond that in the middle of the ceremony one of them drove a tractor up the driveway to their house which is about 250 yards from the barn itself and was very loud during the most important part of the day. Its not like they didn't know it was happening since they were hovering for most of the day and making things extremely stressful. Finally they needed to move peoples cars at some point during the evening and lost a set of keys and blamed it on the poor girl. We tore the entire place apart that night and the next morning and found nothing. During the cleanup Sunday morning Rick shows up to open a hatch in the barn that takes 2 minutes, upon walking out asks about the keys, and says oh I'm sure they'll turn up. Two minutes later we go upstairs and lo and behold there are the keys!!! These people have a beautiful property and are 1000% not worth dealing with.
