Farmington Gardens

still missing. Every detail of the day was perfect! The food was incredible. We were very happy after our initial tasting, but the food the day was even better! We had his and hers cocktails as part of the open bar and their staff went out of their way to help design drinks that we would love - including making habanero infused tequila! Some of the things that our guests commented on included: how great the food was, how friendly and helpful the staff was, how they weren't stuck in the ballroom all night (the glass atrium was a great place to talk and is where we had our Venetian table and late night taco bar - outside we opted for a fire pit and s'mores and people were gathered out there too!). Another added bonus is that they only do one event per day so we were able to arrive 3 hours early to get ready and take pictures before the guests started arriving. I cannot say enough about how perfectly everything went and I would recommend them to anyone!

vailable to meet throughout the year and everything went so smoothly on our wedding day. She even created our chalkboard signs that were inspired by Pinterest. Everything we wanted for our special day she made happen!

licious! It was definitely the best food I have ever had at a wedding. The venue was beautiful and I would not have changed a thing about my wedding day at Farmington Gardens!

y. She was so explicit when answering any questions and always responded promptly to every email. They also have you attend a tasting event a few months before your wedding to pick your food.. it was so much fun and there was so much delicious food! The day of the wedding was more than I could have asked for. Ashley made everything on paper that we planned for a year completely come to life. She made sure our bridal party and immediate family were taken care of by giving us our own waitress who checked in on us very often. You also get to create a timeline with her which you can review and change as much as you need to. The week of your wedding she reaches out to all of your vendors with information including your timeline so everyone is on the same page upon arrival. My wedding day went smoother than I could have imagined. The venue itself is stunning and its own little oasis. The ceremony area is fully shaded under a pergola and two large trees. The landscape is lush, green and so colorful with a greenhouse for cocktail hour. Thank you to FG for making our day perfect!

ppy that I chose to go with Farmington Gardens. Honestly, they handled all the details and made sure everything looked beautiful and delivered on my vision! Every time people would ask me how I was doing leading up to the wedding, the answer was easy. I was great and just fine. Courtney made the entire process so easy and they have everything mapped out so well that I was never really too stressed (at least not when it came to the venue details). I knew they had everything under control. I also received so many compliments about how beautiful the setting was and what a wonderful location for a wedding. May was a rainy month, but mother nature was on our side and we were able to have the ceremony I wanted outside, followed by cocktail hour in the greenhouse and then the reception. I love love love all the different settings / areas at Farmington Gardens and would recommend it to anyone getting married in the area. I'm now thinking that I want someone I know to get married there so I can go back and enjoy it again!! Thank you so much for making my day so perfect. I'm just waiting for all the photos so I can relive it and look at the beautiful setting all over again!!

y’s assistant was also unbelievable, and I knew she cared when I saw her literally running my Justin Bieber stand up over to me as fast as she could! I recommend this venue for anyone who wants coordinators to help them fulfill their dream wedding and have all the details they planned out fulfilled flawlessly.

r wedding coordinator and she was an utter pleasure to work with – so detail-oriented, so professional, and so *calm*, even in the midst of the reception when my husband and I were throwing off the schedule through excessive chattiness. She was so on top of everything from beginning to end and so warm and patient with us as we changed our minds, waffled on big decisions, ran behind on booking vendors, and made big and complicated requests (we were able to change a bunch of dishes to meet our guests’ dietary requirements, create our own mocktails, and even source all halal meat, which still blows my mind). The wedding day itself was a breeze for us. The rehearsal with Kalee the day before set our minds at rest about who was doing what when and where. And all we had to do was drop all our stuff off at the rehearsal the day before and it was set up perfectly on the day! Furthermore, the amazing FG staff then had it ready for pickup the morning after so that we could be entirely focused on the wedding and our guests day of. There was actually a thunderstorm the night of our wedding (during the reception, when we were indoors) and they had everything so under control that we didn’t even know til after! After the rain had stopped, the FG staff had our fire pit up and running in no time and our guests were getting a kick out of roasting marshmallows for their s’mores. They are total pros. Our wedding planning process involved some definite ups and downs and some major upheavals (we wound up getting legally married in advance), and FG was a source of calm and structure in the midst of all that. Seriously, such an amazing venue and such an amazing staff.

She is so organized, it made planning smooth and stress free. Somehow she turned all of my ideas and boxes of decor into my dream wedding. I cannot saw enough about her and this venue. Highly recommend checking it out

tely wonderful to work with!! From the first moment we toured to our wedding day, Courtney was kind, calming, personable, and EXTREMELY helpful!! She met with us every three months to check in and make sure we were staying on track with our planning. She offered wonderful and honest suggestions in regards to decorations and choosing various vendors. On the day of our wedding, my bridal party and I got ready at the Farmington Gardens, and Courtney was there from 9:00 am to the end of the night (12:00 am). She set up all of our decorations, brought us drinks, made sure we were on time, and constantly checked in with us throughout the night. When we picked up our decorations the following morning, everything was labeled and organized by Courtney and the other staff members of FG. My husband and I truly could not have picked a better venue to have our wedding and we are forever grateful to the FG, and most importantly to Courtney, for everything they did to make our day so special! I would highly recommend Farmington Gardens to anyone! You will not be disappointed!

licious everything was. We highly recommend Farmington Gardens.

o much support and advise for each and every question, and we had a lot! She was always easy to get in touch with and responded promptly. We didn’t have our ceremony at the Venue but she even gave us some advise as to how to plan our Church ceremony and what we would need. They have 1 wedding a day so from start to finish you feel special on YOUR day there, that was a big deciding factor for us in finding our venue. Also they have a multitude of decorating options to customize the space to what you want. Then the day of Kalee was by my side making sure we were taken care of which I was so grateful for, the day goes by so fast but she slowed it down by checking in. We also got nothing but rave reviews about the food! The food is DELICIOUS make sure you eat everything! The tasting was also so much fun, definitely bring parents or best man and maid of honor it’s a lot of food so you’ll need people to help! They also have a cake option at the venue so the planning was honestly so so easy! One stop shop which was great when you have a billion other things on your mind. Also they have an on-site Gardner who makes the venue look amazing outside as well so you don’t have to think about flowers outside! I really can not say enough good things about The Farmington Gardens, I wish I could relive our wedding day over and over again! I was just simply so perfect!

mments about the food, venue and staff we were thrilled and highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a wedding in the beautiful New England area.

ing that Farmington Gardens gave us. We quickly placed a deposit on our date and everything was smooth sailing from there. The reception itself is breathtaking-- perfect for an early June wedding. The grounds are beautiful. The building is beautiful. On top of such a beautiful setting, the staff at Farmington Gardens are absolutely amazing. We worked with Courtney as our wedding coordinator, and she was a rock star! She always answered any questions we had and made sure that our wedding would be perfect. Now on to the food... also top notch! All of our guests still tell us the food was amazing (especially dessert!). One of our favorite parts of Farmington Gardens is that they tried to accommodate pretty much any request we had. My husband and I are really into craft beer, so Courtney tried to see if one of the local breweries would supply a keg for our wedding. They couldn't, but FG already had a great rotation of beers anyway! Our signature cocktails, created by FG staff, were also absolutely amazing. Farmington Gardens met and exceeded every expectation we had. It truly was the best day ever. We could not have imagined getting married anywhere else!

rfectly, any problem that you could think of arising, Kalee already had a solution for. So many people approached me at the wedding to say how incredibly impressed they were with the space, the food and the atmosphere. My wedding day was perfect and in large part because of the staff at Farmington Gardens.

the venue, we knew this was the perfect place. We were beyond impressed with our wedding coordinator, Courtney, she was very responsive and attentive from the minute we contacted her about scheduling our visit to the venue. We met with her multiple times leading up to our wedding day, she always had great suggestions and was so organized. After our church ceremony Courtney and the Farmington Garden’s staff were waiting outside for our wedding party’s arrival. Courtney was a huge help especially the day of the wedding. Courtney was always there making sure everything was going according to plan and assisting anyone with anything they needed. All of our guests raved about the food from the Passed Hors D’oeuvres all the way through the dessert; the cannolis were a huge hit! The chef was also extremely accommodating with any of our guests dietary restrictions! We highly recommend Courtney and the entire Farmington Gardens team for any occasion! We loved every moment of our big day! Thank you to the whole staff for making it so special

Kalee is so kind, professional and genuine in everything she does! Everything is included when you book with Farmington Gardens so there are no surprises when trying to stick with your budget. The grounds and buildings are stunning. We wanted our ceremony to be outside, but on our wedding day a pop-up thunderstorm required us to make a last minute change to being in the greenhouse. Everyone just moved inside and no one missed a beat with allowing our day to continue! The quality of the food and the amount of choice you get us unreal. The tasting process allows you to make all the decisions that will best fit your day. Everything's made to order and they can accommodate all the different dietary restrictions in today's world. The in-house pastry chef made our sweet heart cake along with the “Venetian Table” of desserts that our guests thoroughly enjoyed! Having our wedding at Farmington Gardens was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made and we cannot recommend them more highly!!

of her way to ensure that everything was perfect for Lindsay’s wedding. I would highly recommend Farmington gardens and Courtney to host your upcoming event!

re so beautiful. The greenhouse is a fun and different setting for cocktail hour, and the reception hall with the high ceilings and chandeliers is simple and elegant. The staff was very attentive, and made everything very easy for us. We worked with Courtney as our coordinator, and she was wonderful. Everything went exactly as we planned, and we have her to thank for that! She spent a lot of time planning and communicating with us, and expertly ran the show the day of. The food is also spectacular and we have been getting compliments since about the dinners and cupcakes. Thank you to the team for creating our dream wedding!!! We hope to get invited back as guests here so we can enjoy another Farmington Gardens wedding :)

t the wedding of my dreams right within my budget! The food is delicious, the CAKE WAS DIVINE. The ballroom and greenhouse was perfect for our event. The greenhouse was great for hor d'ouvres and mingling while the ballroom was pristinely elegant for the main event. Kaylee went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfectly. It downpoured on my wedding day but it didn't even matter because the indoor accomodations were more than enough for our guests and we had a splendid time.

sonal. Farmington Gardens allowed us to bring all our decorations and truly made us feel special. The venue is absolutely stunning, the food is FANTASTIC, & the staff is even better! Kalee our wedding coordinator, I don't even know where to begin to praise this women! She is AMAZINNGGGGGG!! Kalee made all our wedding dreams come true. Seriously ALL of them! From the moment of our first meeting, I knew we were in good hands. Kalee listened and helped walk us through ever inch of planning our day. She is honestly the sweetest person I've ever met and she was made for this job! She was so well organized & brought even the smallest details and requests to life! I honestly had a lottt of decorations and a vision of how I wanted the venue to be set up. I even offered to help set up since I felt bad leaving the big task all to Kalee! Let me tell you though, Kalee was not flustered by one bit of the decorations we brought! She truly brought my vision to life! So much so, that when I walked into the venue prior to our first look-I cried! It was truly stunning and I could not have imagined it looking as perfect as it did. Kalee is so talent, so kind, & so genuine. She really cares about her couples and it was so evident throughout the whole planning process. THANK YOU Kalee for making the wedding of our dreams come to life!!

coordinator, and all the other amazing staff. Throughout the entire process Courtney worked with us step by step to make sure every single detail was perfect and everything went off without a hitch. The grounds, greenhouse, and ballroom are all so beautiful, and most importantly THE FOOD IS AMAZING!! I can’t say enough great things about Courtney and Farmington Gardens, and if I could give more stars I would. Thank you guys for giving us the wedding of our dreams! - Ashley & Dave

the food and dessert they provide is some of the best we’ve ever had. They definitely give you your money’s worth and we could not be happier with how our day operated. Ashley personally oversaw everything and made sure we were as comfortable as possible. Thanks Ashley for making our day amazing!

ing ceremony and the cocktail hour. My daughter and her new husband had their dream wedding and are so very happy. We got many compliments on the space and the food. Five stars!

sts but they could provide different sites for ceremony, cocktail, and reception without having to bus my guests to multiple locations. Everything was beautifully set up and my guests are still talking about how amazing the wedding was! Kalee was our wedding planner and I honestly can't speak any higher of her! She was beyond amazing and my mom, mother in law and I thank God she was there to help us through this journey. She was professional, organized, and kept us all very calm while directing us seamlessly through the planning process and the big day. The whole day itself was perfect, the food was amazing, the drinks were amazing, the locations and decorations were amazing and the staff were the icing on the cake! We can't thank Farmington Gardens enough for making it all possible! So many other venues were too strict or too expensive to make my dream wedding a reality but Farmington Gardens was flexible in all the right areas and affordable enough to allow me room to get the additions I wanted.

h all the summer weddings and it was really helpful because they offered pretty much the entire menu of items to taste with several decor ideas on display. The gardens, greenhouse, and ballroom were all set up beautifully the day of our wedding. The level of coordination and work done by Farmington Gardens staff really helped relieve a lot of stress on our wedding day.

our wedding day. Although we had planned to have the ceremony outside, we had to move it into the greenhouse because of rain…and everything was still flawless! The entire staff was wonderful and the food was FANTASTIC! So many of our guests commented that it was the nicest wedding they had ever been to. Farmington Gardens is simply the best!

s meticulous and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous. The head chef introduced himself after our delicious dinner, and even let me take home a doggy bag when I couldn’t finish! We started our planning process with Kalee, and transitioned to Courtney when Kalee earned a (well deserved) promotion! Both women were extremely knowledgable, kind, approachable, and accommodating. Courtney was absolutely phenomenal and helped me organize and plan for months before the big day. She responded to every email and question nearly immediately and even made accommodations to allow us to play a video over the projector during my father/daughter dance. My wedding would literally not have been the night it was without her, I may have hugged her more than some of my own family! I would recommended Courtney, Kalee, and the entire team to ANYONE looking to host ANY event! Thank you for helping us have our dream wedding and hosting the best day of our lives! We will forever be grateful to you ❤️

venue is obviously gorgeous and everything we wanted. But we would not have chosen it if it was not for those two girls. we had the pleasure of working with both of them and they were so incredible. Kalee helped us plan in the beginning but then took on a high position so we were given Courtney as our wedding coordinator and i don't think ive ever trusted someone more when planning something for me in my life. Everything was stunning, perfect, exactly how i wanted it and she was 100% the majority of the reason why. Not to mention the food was DELICIOUS, the servers / bartenders/ etc were absolutely incredible. There really are no words for how amazing everything went. thank you FG for making mine and Zach wedding a realty, dealing with all my annoying questions, answering all my emails, sitting down with us, and for making our day perfect. We love you guys!

, there was never a "no we can't do that" for every question and request we had. Because there's only one event per day it was so nice to just drop everything off the day before at our rehearsal and didn't have to worry about a thing. Great rain option in the greenhouse, super flexible about literally everything, great food, 100% stress-free from the very first meeting. Seriously I can't say enough great things about this venue, if you want to enjoy your wedding and the process, choose farmington gardens. Thank you Kalee and Farmington Gardens!

entire wedding process- they have that down to a science! The food tasting was flawlessly executed and we had meetings every 3 months with our coordinator. They had limitless amounts of great suggestions and ideas for us- there was never any mishap, or any moments when I thought they were leaving something out or confusing my event with another. They were constantly in contact with me and even took it upon themselves to confirm all vendors the week before my wedding so I wouldn't have to. The day of the wedding was executed PERFECTLY. I can't tell you how many compliments we got on the staff, the venue, the food, the service, EVERYTHING!!! I could not imagine getting married anywhere else- this is truly the most magical place on earth. Courtney and Kalee are the most talented wedding planners and are the best in the business- I cannot recommend Farmington Gardens enough!!!!

guests also can not stop raving about the food. So many people have told us it is the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Courtney and Kalee were the sweetest and most professional wedding coordinators EVER! Everything went off without a hitch from the time we booked the venue to the day of. I hope I get invited to a wedding here myself so I can enjoy it all over again!

ails during our meetings that we wouldn't have thought about. The reception area was spacious and beautifully decorated. The green house, patio with fire pit, and lawn for lawn games provided a multiple of areas for people to enjoy themselves. The food was delicious, from the appetizers to the dessert. Especially the bison. Thank you to Kalee and all the staff in making the reception a huge success. farmingtongardensct.com

of our dreams. We had some unique changes to satisfy our Beauty and the Beast themed wedding and she was able to piece or vision together with our views and plenty of ideas that came from her. If you want a custom wedding with great food and great staff then Farmington Gardens is for you!!! If you have trouble with finding vendors for your wedding Kalee knew very trustworthy vendors who were in our price range and were very reliable!!

always being calm and helpful. Everything was perfect and all my guests were talking about what a wonderful time they had, and that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Kalee and the entire staff went above and beyond all of our expectations to make our day perfect and unforgettable.

. The thing we loved most about the venue was the privacy and freedom to have the exact type of wedding you want. Since you have the place to yourself, you don't have to worry about seeing other wedding parties there during your own. Their packages are also so customizable and the work very closely with you to make sure everything that you want is prepared and displayed how you like. Kalee, the event coordinator, was such a tremendous help. She is very organized and sweet. She makes sure to meet with the couples every few weeks leading up to the wedding to see what progress they've made in the planning process, she goes over every detail with you which was amazing. She always immediately responded to emails and had an answer for every question that we asked. For someone who had a lot of DIY projects for their wedding, Kalee and her team were very patient and helped put together every idea that I had on that day. The staff was so helpful and friendly with our guests. Although we didn't get to taste the food, our guests said it was amazing especially the desserts which was way more than what we had imagined. Our sweetheart wedding cake was also from the pastry chef at the gardens and it looked and tasted amazing. We only have good things to say about this place and would highly recommend to any couple looking for a wedding venue.

oothly, and we didn't have to worry about the timeline. The food was wonderful, and portions were perfect. The waitstaff was also great, and ensured we had food and drinks during cocktail hour; even trekking to meet us in the field in back. Our guests have also commented on how friendly the bar service was. The atmosphere was a mix of rustic and romantic with a little glitter tossed in, which was perfect for us. We would definitely recommend this venue to future couples.

ce that is extremely competitive with the amazing service you receive. We bargained a little bit, and took off the appetizer and 1 hor d'euovre and were able to shave off a couple dollars per head, which makes a big difference in the numbers for cost. The vibe for this place is fun and relaxing, but yet very sophisticated and just NICE. The food was out of this world. Our guests are still raving about how good the food was. Also the bartenders were so friendly and made any drink we wanted. I would 100% recommend this venue to any bride or groom. You will not be let down! Even the day of, the staff were so attentive and always making sure I had a drink in hand and all was going well.

Gardens and green house are beautiful not to mention the gorgeous chandeliers in the rustic dining room. We wouldn't have changed a thing about our special day! Thank you to the staff at Farmington gardens.

e food was AMAZING and people are still talking about it. They took our wedding vision and made it a reality and I am truly so grateful. We wish we could relive that day over and over again.

when it matters most is poor.

top raving about their experience at our wedding!

ough the whole process and was readily available the entire time. All of guests are still talking about how amazing the food was at Farmington Gardens! The fire-pit at the end of the night was a huge hit with our guests who loved the end of the night smores snack! The only issue we had was with the bartenders who seemed to be unhappy and in a rush to end the night. Overall, the grounds of Farmington Gardens, the food, and the help of Kalee made for a night we will never forget. If you are looking for a private venue that will cater to your needs and if you want the best food around, we highly suggest checking out Farmington Gardens!

ception room with wooden ceilings, updated elegant bathrooms and cute bridal suite for privacy if needed. The chief works there full time and her food is outstanding, did not get a single complaint from any guest. Kalee the wedding coordinator is amazing, will accommodate you in every way possible, be easily accessible by email and phone and be your savor on wedding day! I can't give this venue enough credit. My husband and I stumbled upon it via Internet and went with our gut, best decision we made! After the wedding we were told by many guests it's the best one they have ever been too! On top of it the local florist works with the venue often and power stations DJ designed the stereo system there so it works out perfectly. I highly recommend this venue if your looking for an elegant, country wedding with gorgeous locations for photography and amazing food!

mazing and they even let us have our favorite meals for our dinners while the guests had their meals. The venue was very rustic but allowed for a homey feel. Everyone has been raving about the venue and food and whole environment weeks after the wedding. Would highly recommend it!

ests. Kalee was available for the months leading up to the wedding and was super organized and helped us prepare along the way. She was amazing the day of the wedding and held the entire event together keeping everything running smoothly so any hiccups went completely unnoticed by me. We used their in-house photobooth and it was a huge hit with the guests and the pictures came out great. During the night and since the wedding, our guests have raved about the venue and we couldn't be happier! Definitely a hidden gem on route 4 and we highly recommend!

tions and a great backup inside the greenhouse. The staff makes it all even better. I worked with Kalee during the wedding process and I cannot recommend and praise her enough. She was amazing! She was so professional and responsive to emails and phone calls which was great to get questions answered quickly. She had great ideas to contribute and was very organized and detailed with planning and setting up the day of itinerary. Thanks to her and the rest of the crew there our day went off without a hitch and all of our decor was set up exactly as I'd imagined. The flexibility of the venue is what makes it so special. They will accommodate almost anything you can imagine and they have so many choices for decor, floor plan setup, food, dessert, etc. It was difficult to choose from all the food and dessert options but our choices were so delicious and I heard the same from many of our guests. This place has a special place in my heart now and I would very highly recommend it.

ike you're at a wedding factory, you don't feel rushed, and you don't feel like you could be overlooked due to another event at the same time. The beauty of the venue speaks for itself. They will pretty much allow you to decorate the venue anyway you like. We chose the simplicity of just the ledge candles in the ballroom, with the exposed beams it was amazing. The greenhouse is a great cocktail hour location and backup ceremony in the event of bad weather. Obviously the gardens make a fantastic ceremony and picture backdrop. The food choices are plentiful and all delicious. Prepare yourself for the tasting, because you will leave full and happy. My wife and I have received numerous comments on how fantastic the food was, even a few "best wedding meals I've ever had". The morning of our wedding the weather was questionable. They did not rush us to make a decision on being inside or outside. They allowed us to watch the weather reports and wait as long as possible to make a decision. It worked out, because as we waited the weather got better and better and we were able to be outside at the pergola. Everything went off without a hitch, or at least if there were any issues nobody knew. Many of our guests have told us how beautiful everything was, how well everything flowed, and that they had a blast. Most importantly, Kalee is amazing to work with. We met with Kalee several times throughout the planning process, and every time walked out amazed at how easy she made things. Her professionalism and calm demeanor made even the toughest decisions seem easy. She was always available to answer our questions and re arrange things to meet changing needs. She even was willing to give my wife her personal cell phone while she was on vacation in the event she needed to get a hold of her. Luckily, probably because of all her help before that point, that was never an issue. You are in great hands with Kalee. Thank you again to everybody at Farmington Gardens for making our wedding day the greatest it could have been. We truly feel that there isn't a better venue for us to have been married at.

we chose to have our wedding here. The ice cream sundae bar they set up was AMAZING!

of everything. She is such a hard worker!! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous in the summer, the food is the best you’ll ever have at a wedding, and the atmosphere is breathtaking. You will not regret booking your wedding at Farmington Gardens. I’m hoping one of my friends books there so we can go back!

rk with. It didn't matter how many questions we asked, she was great! Even though it ended up raining, our wedding was flawless. Kalee ensured that the event went off without a hitch, waiting until the last moment to move the wedding inside. It was still beyond beautiful! 5 minutes after our indoor ceremony, the greenhouse area was transformed into the perfect cocktail hour space. While we had assumed our lawn games and s'mores bar were simply not meant to be, we were thrilled to see the games and s'mores appear inside. The food, the people, the location, the amazing wedding coordinator...you can't go wrong! We didn't have to think about a thing. I cannot recommend Farmington Gardens enough.

t have asked for a better venue on our wedding day. From the moment we booked at the Gardens I knew that they were going to take great care of use. We met with Phil the owner and he instantly made us feel comfortable and confident in our choice. The wedding coordinator –Kalee Brunelle is amazing! She was sooo easy to work , always organized and patient with us and was as sweet as can be! She really listened to what we wanted and made our wedding day perfect! The décor was exactly how we imagined and the food was amazing! All of our guests commented on how attentive the staff was and how delicious all the food was. We could not have asked for a more prefect day. Thank you to all of the staff for making our wedding day awesome!

y have ever had. They did a perfect job the day of the wedding with everything. We did not have one problem occur. Leading up to the wedding there were a few changes in staff which did cause a little stress. Sometimes before the wedding it was hard to make appointments or get a hold of people but in the end we had a perfect day and wouldn't have changed a thing. It is a beautiful place with awesome food that your guests will truely enjoy.

nd all staff were on the same page. This was especially useful as my wedding took place during a transition in wedding coordinators. It was as if we were working with both of them the whole time. Everything went smoothly and wonderfully. The day was perfect and I could't have even imagined anything better! Thank you Elizabeth, Phil, and Emily!

tiful, flawless garden wedding!

ood they have ever had at a wedding. This was very important to my husband and I because both our families and friends are all foodies (my husband a chef)! Even the DJ who has been doing it for 15+ years said- best food ever! My guests and I were impressed that the chef came around to see how everything was, chatted, answered questions and was very professional. Elizabeth was so organized, answered all questions, and has so much experience that the little things I was concerned she answered with ease. I loved that they only do one wedding a day so the focus is on you that day. The weather was questionable during the day of my wedding, but from our first meeting Elizabeth reassured us that they keep an eye on the weather and will accommodate right up to the last minute. We did end up getting married in the greenhouse (even though we planned on getting married outside) but the staff turned it around in 5 minutes to cocktail hour set-up before anyone knew it. I want to get married all over again- and I would do it again and again at Farmington Gardens!

, the unique greenhouse area, and the gorgeous dining room! We had over 200 guests and it was a slightly rainy day, but everyone fit perfectly in the greenhouse during cocktail hour. The staff were cheerful and appetizers were plentiful. Elizabeth (the venue's planner) was readily available during photos and even helped bustle my dress when my bridesmaids couldn't figure out how! She is awesome! When the bridal party entered the reception hall to put our things in the bridal suite, I was amazed at how perfectly all of my details were executed. The centerpieces and other personalized details that I had planned with Elizabeth were all laid out exactly as I had wanted. The reception ran very well and according to the schedule we had discussed prior to the event. The food was so delicious that our guests didn't stop talking about it all night! The chef even came out to greet some of the tables during dinner! Luckily the weather cleared up and we were able to go outside at the end of the night for some sparkler pictures! When the night began to wind down, no one wanted to leave, especially my husband and me. It was the absolute perfect night, and I'm sure you will feel the same way if you choose this venue!

it and couldn't have been happier with the results! Elizabeth Hall was amazing. Patient, understanding of our wants and needs and very clear when discussing options. "No" was a word she never spoke to us when we made requests. She answered our emails and phone calls promptly and efficiently. The day of our wedding was amazing. The whole place was amazing and everything was perfectly executed. The cuisine was perfect and 2 months later our guests are still praising the great job the staff did. We added the optional raw bar for cocktail hour and it was all so fresh and the guests raved about it!! We had 200 guests and they were all accommodated comfortably. I would absolutely, without a doubt, recommend Farmington Gardens for your wedding day or any other occasion. Thank you, Elizabeth and Phil and Katrina for the wedding I have been dreaming of for my entire life. I will cherish this day for the rest of my life!

ect place to get married and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a venue in the Connecticut area.

Elizabeth, the event planner, was sooooo helpful. I am not from the area and she made it easy to plan from another state... she would recommend venders (florist, baker, etc.) and she handle everything leading up to the day and the day of.... It was a very smooth process!!! Coming from an Italian family FOOD is EVERYTHING!!! I heard nothing but great things about our food and service that night... this made me a happy girl!!! (they have the largest menu I have ever seen... something for everyone) We got married on sight (there are many different options to get married on the property) It was raining on our wedding day but that didn't bother me one bit... knowing our back up plan (The Green House) was just as beautiful!!! AMAZING JOB FARMINGTON GARDENS TEAM!!! SUCH A GREAT NIGHT!!!!! -Charlotte Ross, NY

of my wedding. They went above and beyond to make the place look beautiful and to make sure everyone was taken care of. The food was amazing, and I had people telling me for weeks how great their dinner was! The day was perfect, and the Farmington Gardens staff was a major reason why!

meal I've ever had. I couldn't believe that the food was such high quality for the amount of people who were served. The venue was beautiful. The cocktail room is just stunning! Our guests keep telling us how perfect the night was. Thank you Farmington Gardens! Also, it was great that there were NO other events going on the day of my wedding. It made for such a peaceful day. The only thing I was slightly upset about was a spelling error on the menu. I had menu cards printed using the spelling on their menu which was wrong. So I had to pay out of my own pocket to get them redone. Unfortunately, the error has not been corrected on the website Alyse

chairs set up inside, but in the blink of an eye Elizabeth and her staff had everything set up outside for the ceremony. We have gotten rave comments from nearly ALL of our guests about how amazing the food was and how beautiful the venue was. I would give anything to live that perfect day one more time! Thanks Farmington Gardens!!!!

extremely easy to get along with and was 100% supportive throughout the process of planning our wedding and on the actual day. Two of our other vendors, the DJ and florist, had worked with Farmington Gardens on other weddings which made the coordination process between our outside vendors and our venue extremely easy. I would definitely recommend using their preferred vendor list since it made things so much easier in the planning process. The food was spectacular and our guests were very satisfied with the service, quality and presentation of each course including the amazing venetian table we had. The grounds speak for themselves and gave a gorgeous backdrop to our ceremony and cocktail hour, but were also accessible to our guests throughout the night. The main ballroom where the reception was held, was beautiful and did not need a lot of extra decor. Both my husband and I had a fantastic experience, beautiful wedding and amazing ceremony at Farmington Gardens.

to contact. I knew she was great when I received my first email back from her, in response to mine, at 9:30pm one night. She truly seems to enjoy what she does and is so good at it! Phil and the rest of the crew are great too. They were there on the wedding day and executed everything perfectly. They were on top of moving flower arrangements from the ceremony location to the cocktail hour to the reception. They also checked in to make sure everything was going smoothly as much as possible. During the cocktail hour, we went out back to the field to take pictures with the wedding party. This was a solid 5 minute hike in heels. The servers who were passing out hors d'oeuvres followed us back there to offer us food during the cocktail hour! I was blown away. All in all, I think Farmington Gardens truly made my wedding phenomenal. They have a great value and are willing to work with you to adjust prices to fit in your range. I HIGHLY recommend them.

to add our personal touch by bringing our own decor to go with theirs. The food was excellent (filet mignon, chicken with polenta, and cupcakes got raving reviews) and Elizabeth was very easy to work with. The staff forgot a few minor details the night of our wedding- hanging mason jars and lighting the fire pit for the guests but everything else was so well done that we didn't even notice until after our wedding. We will definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a unique wedding venue!

try is just beautiful…and quiet, but it can also be transformed into a bit more modern, such as for our wedding. When I walked into Farmington Gardens on my wedding day it completely took my breath away!! I can honestly speak for my now husband as well regarding just how amazing it all was. It was a perfect blend of what my husband & I and our families wanted for our wedding day. It's funny how you spend so much time putting something together….and planning each puzzle piece, but while you have a very good idea of what it's all going to look like you really don't know for sure how it's all going to come together and how exactly the puzzle is going to take shape as a whole until your special day arrives. Sure enough, it was everything we could have asked for!!! The staff at Farmington Gardens work so well together. They are such a good team and work really hard to make sure every detail comes out the way you envision it. Thank you again Elizabeth, Phil, Kat, Nick, and Emily!!!! Our guests continue to rave about what a beautiful wedding we had, how much fun they had, and how perfect the venue was from the location, decor, grounds, cocktail room, reception room (they loved the open movement between rooms), FOOD (portion size, quality, and taste!….thanks so much Kat!!), and the friendliness of the staff. So many of our guests had a ball with Nick and the female bartender (tall, blonde hair…so sorry I never got a chance to introduce myself to her)! Your staff truly made our day as spectacular as it was so thank you, thank you, thank you again. Especially at the end of the night when my head was spinning from saying goodbyes while holding my niece and still trying to take it all in, Emily was so wonderful in helping to gather all of our belongings and tie up all the loose ends for us. All of our belongings were given back clean and packed away just as they had received them. We felt so well taken care of and it is so much appreciated to this day. Phil, the GM, is very professional and does a great job managing everything behind the scenes! Last but not least, THANK YOU ELIZABETH!!! I was afraid I wouldn't be able to encompass everything in this review…and still may have missed a couple of wonderful things, but I have to end with Elizabeth. Elizabeth is the Wedding/Events Manager and she is incredible!! She is extremely detail oriented, very organized, knowledgeable, and so kind. Elizabeth was truly my left arm in the whole process. I have a special place in my heart for her. It may sound funny, but planning a wedding is very personal and she really helped me. I hadn't ever planned my wedding out in my head or researched anything until shortly after my engagement, so there was so much that was unfamiliar to me. Elizabeth not only took the time to help make Farmington Gardens the perfect venue for my husband and I, but she helped me through so much of the wedding process in general. Elizabeth is so on top of things so you can be reassured that everything will be taken care of to your standard. She was always so prompt in getting back to me and I am so grateful for all that she did. We will definitely book another even at Farmington Gardens in the future. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN! -Kristin & Todd 8/9/13

, in the garden and in the greenhouse. It was hard to lure them away to dinner, but they were even more in love with the venue when they entered the ballroom... The wood beams and gorgeous chandeliers give the room a warm, rustic elegance! Guests raved about the food and keep saying, with honesty, that's its the best wedding they've been to. As the mom, who wanted a perfect day, I got what I wanted. After months of planning, with Elizabeth at my beck and call (she answered every one of my questions immediately... We became email buddies!) I have nothing but great things to say about this venue. My daughter can't stop thanking me for helping to create such a memory.. but credit must be given to the venue and it's staff. Thank you, Farmington Gardens, for the absolutely perfect day!

abeth their event coordinator is just amazing, she takes all the stress off of you and really makes your dream day come true. The venue works so well with all the other vendors. The food in amazing. The grounds are gorgeous, the rooms are gorgeous. Highly recommend to anyone planning their wedding!!!!

d arranged for every detail. On the day of, Elizabeth made sure everything went very smoothly! Not a single hiccup the entire day! The staff at the event were very professional and low-profile. We received multiple compliments on how nice they were, their thoughtfulness and helpfulness, and how non-invasive they were the whole night. Really well done! They coordinated all the vendors seamlessly, and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Second, the food - from the cocktail hour, to the drinks, to the meal - was phenomenal! The guests loved every bit of it. A special thanks to Katrina and her staff! For the tasting before the wedding, they had events where all couples and their families could come to try the entire menu. Therefore, instead of getting a special meal made for two, you got to see and taste what the food would be like for an event of 200 or so. I thought this was absolutely brilliant! Completely put my mind at ease. They have a huge menu, and everything is delicious! The staff was also very helpful in choosing hits for the wedding (like the potato bar!). Third, the venue was very flexible. They have a few options when it comes to packages, but anything you want added or substituted is completely doable. This was fantastic for us, as we added and substituted quite a bit! Elizabeth was instrumental in this process and made sure everything was perfect. Finally, the venue is stunningly beautiful. We had a great night, and so our guests were able to really enjoy the amazing grounds. The inside of the venue was clean, beautiful, and unique. Exactly what we wanted! The staff really thinks of every little detail to make the event look perfect. It was so great to have everything taken care of by the venue and to have it so well done. I don't really know what else to say, except thanks, guys!!!

cktail hour in the Greenhouse - first time I've even seen that as as an option! The chiavari chairs everyone is always upcharging for were part of our package and are their standard chairs which was a great add. The space was very well kept and they were flexible with how we set everything up and all that we were looking to do. We had a ton of options for timing, food, bar, extras, etc. and with what we selected they did not disappoint. Our guests raved about the food, which was delicious - to this I can attest, I made sure to have time to sit down and eat! In particular, everyone was impressed their steak came to order and really came as they ordered it be it rare or well and their was more than enough for everyone to eat both at dinner and as apps were passed around. We used our dessert option of cupcakes as our dessert with a top tier cake to cut and people loved it. We again had so many options to choose from and picked 3 different flavors of minis so each guest could try one of each - it was fantastic! The wedding coordinator Elizabeth was easy to work with as well, she is not what we expected for a coordinator which was refreshing. She isn't the gushing girly bride type, but down to business, professional, yet detail oriented and involved which I thought was perfect - no drama with her! She was prompt in all responses to my many many questions and pulled everything together as we had planned. Overall - wonderful experience and I'd highly recommended Farmington Gardens!

s or just to check in prior to the wedding. The wedding coordinator, Elizabeth, just made the entire experience run smoothly so we could just enjoy our day to the fullest. We have received only positive feedback from our guests about how great the service was, how beautiful the venue was and how it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Several of our guests even said they had eaten at 5 Star restaurants where the food didn't taste as good as Farmington's (Well done, Chef!) We can only hope that someday we get to return to Farmington Gardens to enjoy another wedding! Thank you Farmington Gardens for a perfect day! Love, S&C

e staff went above and beyond on my special day, and even went so far as drying off the lawn so that I can hold my ceremony outside after a rainy morning. The staff, headed by Phil and Emily (Elizabeth was at her own family wedding that day), was very flexible and kind, even allowing me to come 2 days early to prep for our big day. The kitchen, headed by Katrina Chabot, put together a delicious antipasto platter, a beautiful cupcake display and a HUGE sundae bar. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Farmington Gardens to any engaged couple that I know.

cial requests. The cocktail hour was beautiful as well in the green house with the white lanterns, very nice. The reception space looked amazing, a great space and dressed up with our touches, it was perfect. The food and service was also wonderful. This is a family run business, unique place with lots of special touches. Elizabeth the banquet manager and Phil (owner) were there all night on our wedding day and made sure everything ran smoothly. Thanks to all staff at Farmington Gardens for everything! Lisa & Mario

uests are still raving about the hor d'oeuvres, the main courses, and the ice cream sundae bar! Phil and Elizabeth were so helpful during wedding planning and on the day of. Responses to emails and phone calls were prompt - and we didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of! They made sure we got to try all the food including the hor d'oeuvres. The grounds and venue are beautiful - we got some amazing pictures in the greenhouse at night!
