Heritage was the absolute perfect venue and there are not words to describe how wonderful the events team is here! From Jennifer and Melissa helping with all of the details to prepare for the big day. And then our point person day of, Danielle, deserves the biggest shout out on the planet! She was the BEST! Not afraid to put the difficult family members in check, LOL. And the venue itself - rooms were beautifully setup, staff was wonderful, food was delicious, hotel was extremely accommodating. I could go on and on. Would pick Heritage again and again for events.

I highly recommend the Heritage Hotel for your wedding! We had around 75 people - both our ceremony and reception was there - and it was perfect! Jennifer, the hotel's Director of Catering, was a pleasure to work with and made the process so easy from start to finish! Danielle and Gina were so attentive not only to me but my whole wedding party the entire wedding day. I loved having the ceremony outside in the stone garden and the reception in the beautiful timber room! We took advantage of their reduced pricing in mid-May and holding it on a Friday night - it was definitely much more reasonable than many venues we considered! And the food was very good!

Candice in sales was a joy to work with throughout our wedding process. She was communicative, straightforward, and accommodating. During the wedding weekend, hotel staff on hand were kind, easy to access, and fully on top of everything they had agreed to do to make our weekend what we wanted it to be. The garden room and outdoor space adjacent to it served as a perfect venue for our Indian haldi/sangeet celebration for roughly 130 guests.
Many of our wedding guests took advantage of a room block to stay at the hotel during their trip, and they were all very pleased with the accommodations and even eager to come back. The long hallways and numerous lounges offered ample opportunities for socializing, and the rooms were clean and comfortable.
We highly recommend the Heritage Hotel as a venue for your wedding weekend!

Cannot recommend them enough! Having everything from the rehearsal dinner to the after party in one place was such a blessing, they made it so easy to coordinate and the execution was flawless. All of the food was delicious and fresh, and they had plenty of accommodations for the different diets we had to work with. Jennifer was amazing and helpful throughout the planning process and my day of coordinators Gina and Lexi were great. They kept everything running smoothly and were so sweet. Every single employee from the front desk to the bartenders were so nice and professional. I can't wait to go back as a wedding guest this year!

The most amazing staff!!! From the moment we decided to book Jennifer was amazing to work with answered immediately whenever we had any questions no matter how annoying! Attentive and caring with every detail. Not to mention the food and service was AMAZING. Every request or question we had the day of our wedding was answered and done in no time. We were in the absolute best hands and felt no stress or worry on our wedding day. Having the ability for our guests to party with us at our wedding, head across the hall to the Tavern to party more to having the luxury of walking right up to their room when the night was over was a huge plus!

We cannot say enough good things about the Heritage Hotel. Our wedding was 9/23. We booked it pretty far in advance. From the start, Jennifer Giuliano was incredibly responsive. She helped from the day we booked to even days after. We are so lucky to have found this venue. It was everything we wanted. The Timbers room is stunning. I highly recommend getting the lanterns. Our guests raved about the food. Even though it wained on the day of, there was no stress because plan b was already in place. I had Della as my day of coordinator. She was amazing 10/10! Seriously, she stayed by my side all day and always made sure I had a drink in my hand. She also kept reminding me to eat which was amazing. She even told us if there was any way that it did not rain on our day they would move back to our original plan of having the ceremony outside. It was so nice to just have that option. She even could tell when I was getting overwhelmed and told family and friends to leave my getting ready room for me because I'm non-confrontational. Love her for that. When I say our day was stress-free... it was literally stress-free. Everything went according to plan. The bartenders were so fun our guests are still talking about them. Ask for Steven and Anthony! We had our after-party up in the tavern after. It was pretty good! There were a few downers but overall it was pretty good. There were other people there as it was open to the public, so unfortunately yes, they were eating the food that we paid for for our guests. Nonetheless, we didn't really care. I highly recommend getting to the bar quickly even as bride and groom because my husband was mingling. Then when he went to order a drink from the bar they said they had already called last call(it was like 11:30pm). But it was not the last call, and no he was not drunk he was just high on life. He told them he was the groom and the bartender still said no. He tried to get his friend to get him a drink, but unfortunately, they still said no. They continued serving others though. I'm not sure what the reasoning was, but just make sure you get there fairly quickly after the ceremony so you can get a drink! The only other weird thing was that for the after-party we requested a tray of mac and cheese, but for some reason had mac and cheese bites. Not sure if there was a miscommunication somewhere but I was looking forward to having the mac and cheese. Those were the only few bummers, but that still was so little compared to how seamless our day went. I brought a lot of my own decor in and they decorated just how I wanted and even better. To all my brides in planning mode, if you want a stress-free and supportive planning process choose the heritage hotel!

We recently tied the knot at the heritage in early April. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and after party at the hotel. We didn’t want our guests to have to drive anywhere on the day of and the Heritage make that possible. The staff was friendly, professional and made the day flow smoothly! They have a great team and the food was fantastic. Our guests still can’t stop talking about the event!

The Heritage has always had a special place in my heart because it is located in my hometown and I knew having my wedding there would make it that much more special. My Husband and I got married on September 30th and can't stop talking about how having everything there (ceremony, reception, after party, lodging) was the best decision we ever made. The hotel and grounds are just absolutely beautiful and the timbers reception room is simply breathtaking. But what made it even more special are the staff. Jennifer was incredible leading up to the day with being responsive, keeping things on track and answering any questions we had, and our coordinator on the day, Kara, was unbelievable. We didn't even need a wedding planner! She made sure everything was set up perfectly and that the flow of the day was exactly how we wanted it to be. She is such a wonderful person and we feel so thankful to have met her. All of our guests raved about the food and how helpful and friendly all of the staff were. They also still talk about how amazing of a wedding it was. You can't beat the easy flow with going from the ceremony at the stone garden, to the cocktail hour room with the outdoor patio, and then simply moving to the next room to the reception, and only needing to go up to your room at the end of the night! It was a dream day and there is absolutely nothing we would change about it. If you want an unforgettable and special wedding with everything in one place, you must book the Heritage!

We had our wedding here in August of 2022. We highly recommend this venue and couldn't of asked for a better day! Jennifer did an amazing job coordinating throughout the process and was very attentive to our needs. We got amazing feedback from everyone who attended. The food was great and everyone loved the convenience of being able to stay the night in the same location as the reception. We had our ceremony on site in the Garden which was absolutely beautiful. The pictures came out amazing with the many different spots throughout the venue to take photos.

We were looking for an all-in-one venue and The Heritage Hotel definitely delivered! It was so convenient to be able to have everything in one location. We had our ceremony off-site but to have the cocktail hour, reception, bar, and rooms all in one place was awesome for us and our guests. Jennifer was amazing and so helpful throughout the whole process. We would definitely recommend The Heritage Hotel!

My husband and I got married at Heritage Hotel on 09/16/22 and could not recommend this venue enough. It was so convenient to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and hotel all at one location. The bridal suite was perfect for the bridal party to get ready in and the groomsmen had a great time golfing and got ready in a hotel room as well. The staff were all amazing. Jennifer helped keep us organized and answered all our questions leading up to the day, Kara was amazing and so helpful the night of the wedding, and the waitstaff and bartenders were so much fun and kept the party going all night (special shout-out to Lexi). We spent the rest of our weekend at Heritage Hotel and had the time of our life in the Tavern with the best bartenders (Quon, Craig, Steve, and Lauren). Overall, we 10/10 recommend and wish we could do it all over again! Heritage Hotel truly gave us the wedding of our dreams.

Jennifer and her entire team were truly spectacular. They accommodated us in every way possible and truly made us feel extremely special. I’ll wedding day went off without a hitch and I know it was because the Heritages attention to detail and preparedness. The pool is extremely clean and the Tavern(Bar) stayed open for us after our wedding. Thank you again and we highly recommend this venue/hotel to anyone looking to book their wedding. We will be back just for a weekend away that’s how beautiful and amazing our experience was.

Isaiah and I were looking for a venue that would fit our vintage and simple style for our wedding. We found Heritage Hotel and feel in love with the place. Everything was there, which made everything easy for us and for guests. Our wedding was beautiful and I can’t thank Jennifer and her team enough. Jennifer was amazing and communicates well. Her team were so helpful and kind. We couldn’t have chosen a better venue and hotel to have our wedding at.

I don’t even know where to begin! My now husband and I stumbled upon The Heritage through a friends pictures and had no idea this place existed- but thought it looked beautiful! So we set up an appointment with Jen and the minute we walked into the venue we knew this was our venue! Not only is it beautiful, but it’s not outrageously priced, the staff is amazing, and we loved the idea of having the hotel, ceremony,reception & after party all at the same location ! The entire wedding process was a breeze through them. The day went so smoothly- they treated me and my entire family like royalty.. the staff was amazing the food was amazing the bartenders.. everything! I couldn’t imagine our wedding any place else ! Not to mention the entire area is beautiful! They have a good course onsite, a vineyard, indoor and outdoor pools, a tavern, and more ! If your thinking about this venue- just do it! 10/10 recommend !

Look no further than The Heritage Hotel!
Every possible detail was orchestrated to perfection by Jennifer. Every request met with ease and executed flawlessly.
Our day of coordinator, Della, was a delight, soothed any concern and conducted the day with grace. Every SINGLE staff member we encountered was so sweet, made sure anything we needed was seen to, and went above and beyond to make our day so special.
We didn’t have a care in the world all day.
Need a place to hide away or get ready? The hospitality room is fully equipped, gorgeous and comfortable. The food was delicious and suitable for every dietary preference. Indulge a little too much at the bar? Gifts, decorations, extra details were all collected, packed and loaded on a luggage cart for easy pick up the next morning.
Our guests attended a gorgeous reception, followed by a great after party in the Tavern upstairs and crawl into bed all under one roof. (No designated driver needed!) The Heritage even nursed our hangovers with a delicious breakfast buffet.
Every expectation was exceeded and we couldn’t be happier. As someone who planned 3 different weddings for the same marriage (thanks Covid), our experience at The Heritage was well worth the long long wait and we are so grateful.

We recommend the Heritage to every future bride. From the day we first booked, had to postpone, and finally made it to our reception, the staff has been nothing short of amazing. This venue is a bride's dream, one stop for everything. Photo locations, cocktail hour, reception, indoor outdoor space, after party space, and hotel rooms for your guests all on site. Jennifer and Della and their staff made my day even better than I could have imagined. I got so many compliments from my guests that this was genuinely one of the best venues they had ever gone to. We can't wait to come back for every anniversary to stay at this beautiful hotel. If you are looking for a rustic CT wedding venue, this is your venue. Trust us!

We cannot recommend the Heritage Hotel enough! We had our wedding there this past July! First of all, we were a Covid couple who had to postpone our wedding from 2020 to 2021. The staff, especially Jennifer, were so helpful with moving our wedding date that it made a stressful time in our lives so much easier. Overall, this venue has everything you could want! Our guests stayed at the hotel and enjoyed their stay as you get all the amenities at the hotel like use of the gym and pools. We had our ceremony in the stone garden on the most perfect day! It’s a very unique and beautiful space! The timbers room for the reception is very grand and rustic, but also has a cozy feel. The food was also amazing! We did the buffet stations with steak and chicken, mash potato and pasta bar and more! Everyone loved the food. We also had a donut wall! We had the best day ever and it was all thanks to the amazing staff! Shout out to Sean, Della, and Faith! They were fantastic with helping to make everything go smoothly. We also had breakfast the next morning at the hotel which was so nice not to worry about going somewhere. You will not regret having your event at the Heritage Hotel!

The Heritage Hotel was the perfect wedding venue for us! We wanted our guests to enjoy themselves and not have to worry about any transportation to and from the venue. The Heritage had it all. After having to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, the Heritage was very accommodating. Through out the planning process Jennifer and her team were very helpful and were so attentive to every detail. When the day finally arrived, we worked primarily with Stephanie. Stephanie and her team were amazing. Everyone was so attentive to every detail that day and ensured myself, my husband, and our immediate family members were treated like VIP. Our wedding was amazing and nothing was missed.

Heritage Hotel was the absolute best decision we could have made for our wedding. The moment we stepped on site during our initial tour we knew it was the place for us. Timbers is a stunning room and the vineyard and Stone Garden added so much variety and amazing scenery to what was already a beautiful day. Not only is the venue itself spectacular but the staff was out of this world helpful and a pleasure to work with! From planning all the details with Jennifer to Stephanie making sure our day went perfectly we had so much support that I never doubted that our day would be flawless. In fact, on our wedding day our cake never arrived from an outside bakery and Stephanie got it handled immediately between repeated calls to the bakery all the way to sending staff to buy us a cake at the last minute just so we didn’t do without. My husband and I loved every single second of working with this venue and it’s staff. I can’t say enough good things about them and they will always hold a special place in our hearts for all they did for us.

The moment we booked the Heritage Hotel, we knew it would be our dream wedding. Jennifer, Barri, and team, answered every single question we had within a day, sometimes the same day, and reassured us throughout the process (esp with COVID). I loved that we were able to use 3 rooms (one for ceremony, one for cocktail hour, and one for reception) that our decorator was able to completely enhance the space as well as transform it. Our guests RAVED about the food, specifically the filet mignon and salmon, as well as the Caesar salad - and we completely agree. The food was GREAT! Our day of coordinator was always checking on us and making sure both us and the wedding party were okay, had food in our stomachs, and full drinks. I could not possibly recommend the Heritage Hotel more - they are truly amazing.

My husband and I were married here in October of 2020. We chose this venue because of the rustic appeal, but affordable price. In addition to planning a wedding in a pandemic, we also had to deal with indecisiveness and inconsistency within the venue. We spoke with Barri on multiple occasions who promised us things, that we later found out from Jennifer were false. One month before our wedding, our lighting team reached out to us telling us that we should plan our lights again because we will not be allowed inside the Timbers- we were not told this by the Heritage Team.
The maitre'd, Sean, was AMAZING. He really made up for the experience leading up to our wedding. He was everywhere...literally... serving food, checking in with the DJ, helping my elderly grandparents. I appreciate everything he did for us.

We originally were having a NYE wedding and decided to move it forward in order to have a fall October wedding outside in Heritage’s tent. The tent is set in their vineyard for beautiful backdrop and photos. Jennifer worked with us all along the way answering our MANY questions and figuring out all of the changes we had to make in order to adhere to the ever-changing guidelines. Our day ended up being beautiful and we are so happy we chose Heritage for our wedding.

The Heritage Hotel was actually the first and only venue my husband and I visited when we first started looking around and it had everything we were looking for. The biggest thing for us was to have a place with everything in one spot: the ceremony, cocktail hour/reception, and an after party. Plus it's a hotel so most of our guests were able to stay right there!
Jennifer and Kyle were so helpful getting everything set up before the day, and Jackie coordinated everything during our wedding flawlessly. She really took care of every detail and we didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day.
The courtyard garden was perfect for the ceremony, and the reception was so beautiful with the exact cozy feel we were going for.
It was amazing having an after party spot right at the hotel - it really helped extend the night and our friends and family loved it!
Everyone raved about how lovely the venue staff were and how smooth the day went! 100% recommend Heritage Hotel!

My husband and I were coming up short in our list of possible wedding venues in NY when we decided to check out what CT had to offer. We had ONE CT prospective in our pile and that is all it took. I think we had overlooked HH at first bc it was a hotel-we were shocked. Shocked at how amazing this hotel had to offer. I wanted a barn feel and the Timbers room was everything and more! I think we already said YES to ourselves before signing contracts when we saw the stone garden. Picturesque place for a beautiful and romantic occasion. Then Jennifer told us about the upcoming vineyards and we were in love. Fast forward-our day was beyond perfect. We managed to get an opening on the year anniversary of our engagement which was phenomenal AND turned out to be the last summer day in September! Blessed with 85 degree weather and the most amazing photos and video in that gorgeous growing vineyard. We couldn't have asked for for a better turn out, from the ambiance to the food.
We worked with Jennifer and Kyle through out the whole planning process and they were beyond helpful from start to finish. Super sad they weren't present the day of the wedding though. We were assisted by our maitre d' Jackie who was a delight.
If I can give future brides some advice, choosing a hotel as a wedding venue was the best decision ever. Our guest thanked us for making it like a mini vacation for them. Booking room blocks was super easy and affordable and so many things to do within the property among hosting our wedding. The Heritage Hotel made my dream wedding a reality and I would recommend them to all future brides who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of NY.

We could not have asked for a better venue! Jennifer was incredible- she was patient and answered all our questions up until the day of our wedding. Our guest could not stop raving about how friendly all the staff were. The garden (where the ceremony took place) was beautiful and made for the perfect backdrop- there was no need to pay for additional floral arrangements! The girls got ready in the executive suite on the 3rd floor and the boys got ready in the executive suite on the 1st floor. The boys spent the morning golfing (called ahead for reservations) and then hung by the pool. We had our rehearsal dinner, after party and farewell breakfast all on site and John was more than accommodating. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking to celebrate their big day!

What a stunning, gorgeous place to get married! The Heritage Hotel was the perfect place to say I do! We were married in the outside garden. and everyone was blown away by how beautiful it was! We had pictures also taken in the vineyard on the premises and hands down are the best wedding photos ever! The Heritage Hotel has many amenities besides being beautiful. They have an on sight SPA, sauna, indoor and outdoor pool that many of our guest utilized. There is a restaurant called the Tavern, where we had out after-party! The hotel is clean, dog friendly and has the rustic theme that I was going for! The Garden Room where we held on reception was spacious, well maintained and had lovely chandeliers! What really made that day was the staff that coordinates wedding event! Jennifer, Kyle, Sara and Jackie allowed us for a stress free wedding planning process! We put complete faith in these ladies and the wedding was the happiest day of our lives! Not one thing went wrong and they guided us every step of the way! We cannot say enough positive things about the venue! Look no further then The Heritage Hotel!

As soon as we visited the Heritage in our venue search, we knew this was the place for our wedding. It was everything we could have imagined and more! All of our guests had an amazing time and spoke very highly of the hotel. Jennifer and Kyle were so easy to work with and helped me every step of the way. We had our ceremony and reception here and it was by far the best decision because it made everything flow seamlessly. We were even able to do an after party in the bar! I would recommend the Heritage any day as a wedding venue!

The heritage is such a hidden little gem and I cannot recommend it enough! They were so amazing on the day of. Jennifer coordinated everything and made it run so smoothly, along with Althea who got my decor prepped (She did awesome! She added her own little touches based on what I had brought and set it all up beautifully). We got married in the rock garden outside and it was such a unique ceremony space and the reception room is all dark wood and romantic. It has the rustic appeal (vineyard too!) with the convenience of a hotel. Even a big tavern that we hung out in all weekend. The staff are awesome,we asked for an extension cord (we had makeup artist lights and two hairdressers) and they brought us a brand new one in a bag! Honestly the best decision I made, I wouldn't change a thing. Oh and the food was really good!

Had our wedding back in September (Labor Day Weekend) and everything was incredible! Jennifer was an amazing point person in the days leading up, and our day-of team could not have been more attentive and accommodating. Many of the guests were thrilled at having the hotel right onsite, and people loved the hotel bar for the afterparty. Pricing for everything was very fair and flexible.

Honestly, the staff at the Heritage Hotel were fantastic. My groom and I were coming from out of town - he from Massachusetts and I from Ohio - and they really worked around our schedule for when we would be in Connecticut. Chris Allen worked so hard to coordinate everything and to make sure that the whole reception went smoothly. I was most impressed with how the staff decorated the reception hall. We had a lot of freshly cut greens that we brought to the hotel in plastic bags; the staff arranged the greens beautifully on each table, as if they were professional florists!

I had my wedding at The Heritage Hotel on March 10th. I cannot express how happy I am that I chose here as my venue. From Day 1, both Chris and Jennifer were my go to ladies. They helped me with anything and everything and made the process extremely simple and even helped me in some design aspects. The food was amazing and preferred vendors are also great as well. We had the reception in the Timbers Room and had SO many compliments. Everyone enjoyed their stay at the hotel and getting ready in the Executive Suite was perfect. We fit roughly 15 people in it getting ready. The day of coordinator, Jennifer, was quick to accommodate myself and my husband as well. Whenever we were without a drink, she brought one over to us. At the end of the night, I didn't have to lift a finger and everything was brought to the executive suite where my husband and I stayed for the night. It was a truly magical night and went off without a hitch thanks to Jennifer and Chris. We are thrilled with our experience and I would choose this venue time and time again for my wedding.
Thank you all for your help! Can't thank you for making my wedding day perfect!

My husband and I are SO happy we chose the Heritage Hotel as our venue. We got married thi s past New Year's Eve 2017. It was a blast! Everything ran as smooth as ever. All of our guests complemented the flow of the entire event from the ceremony to the end of the night. The food was outstanding. My husband actually said "I feel like I made this at home" (in a good way) about the eggplant napoleon and our filet mignons were cooked perfectly. When the reception was over, a nice girl already had all of my stuff on a cart for me to bring up to my room (which we LOVED that you also stay right there). They definitely cover every detail and were open to all of our different ideas. We were able to put lit sparklers on the top of our cake! We stayed a couple of nights after the wedding which I highly suggest. It is so very relaxing and cozy there. Heated pools, sauna, steam room and fireplaces going in the winter. The Tavern had great food and drinks with pool tables and couches by the fire. In the summertime, there is an outside pool and a golf course. I hope to be a guest to a wedding there sometime soon!

Our wedding was yesterday and we cannot say enough at how pleased we were! Chris and Jen were amazing with helping us organize everything and were so accommodating. Not a single thing went wrong on our day from the decor, to the food, the super courteous staff, and the awesome suite! We would highly recommend The Heritage for a great reception venue!

The Heritage was an amazing venue, not just because it was absolutely beautiful but because every detail was perfect and we always felt welcomed! Jen and Chris were so helpful and were there to answer any question, anytime of day! We could not have chosen a better place to host our reception, the food and service was amazing. And our wedding day was absolutely perfect! Thank you so much for exceeding our expectations!

Jennifer and Chris and all the staff and the heritage were professional, caring and made sure our day was 100% perfect. Their ability to organize and help plan a wedding was spectacular. Super easy to communicate with-emails always replied with in 30 minutes, vendors were able to come and help out in a reasonable time to make our day amazing. Would highly recommend meeting with these amazing ladies to tour and to easy wedding planning jitters. The day of our wedding was 100% FLAWLESS, everything was on time and PERFECT!

The staff at the Heritage was so helpful with our wedding this past Saturday. They made sure our guests were well served and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly before and during the reception. My husband and I really could not have asked for a more hospitable place for our special day!

Go see this place in person! We chose the Heritage Hotel for our July wedding, and it was the BEST decision. Jennifer and Chris are great to work with, the food was amazing, and the venue is beautiful! Online pictures really do not do it justice- it has been recently renovated, and the stone garden was lush and colorful for our ceremony. The Timbers room is stunning: huge stone fireplace, wood beams that feel like a barn, and full-length windows that look out over the patio. The staff was able to accommodate serving the dinner family style (highly recommended) and everything ran smoothly. The best part was hanging out in the pub afterwards and knowing that our guests could go right upstairs to their rooms. Highly recommended and a great value!

The Heritage Hotel was an incredible venue for our daughter's wedding! The look of the Timbers room that night was spectacular. Better than we had envisioned. It was a pleasure to work with Chris and Jennifer on every detail. They were approachable and professional. All our little details they made very easy. Chris and Ryan were with us The Whole night of the wedding and it went flawless. They were there right when you needed them but not intrusive. Could not have imagined a better night! Thank you so much!

So happy we found the perfect reception venue at the Heritage Hotel in the Timbers Room! Jennifer and Chris Allen are superb and very easy to work with! They addressed all of my questions promptly and made the months running up to the date of the wedding easy! Turning in our final counts and food selections was simple and they even made sure we had high chairs at the proper tables ahead of time. The day of the wedding, the tables were set exactly the way I had hoped and decorations distributed as we discussed on drop off day. They even helped include a last min wedding gift (a giant wood carved anchor) into our sweetheart table decorations! We had SO MANY guests compliment the amazing food and both mine and my husband's filet were so delicious and exactly the way we had requested they be cooked. We also had a yummy breakfast the next morning, and the food again was on point. We also checked out both pools the morning after the wedding and they were clean and exactly what we had hoped for! We cannot say enough wonderful things about hosting our wedding reception at Heritage Hotel and their attentive, kind event staff! 5 stars to this special crew!
The only fault of the evening was working with the front desk staff as they were not good about handing out our welcome bags, even giving out ones for another party/wedding to some of our guests. We also had 7 left over after the wedding (should have only had 2) and unfortunately individuals who came in Friday missed our welcome reception as they did not get their bags. (I confirmed the day previously- in person- the number of bags and that everyone was listed on our room block). My sister and brother both also went back to the front desk to request their goodie bags cause they had helped make them, but didn't get one. At that same time, the front desk staff member was not very polite. Additionally, upon my husband and I arriving for the reception, we quickly wanted to check in to our room and refresh before going to the cocktail hour. We missed most of the cocktail hour as the front desk staff did not advise us the wedding suite was on a totally separate side of the hotel and required a separate elevator. We walked around the main part of the hotel rooms for 27 min, and called the front desk and were put on hold, before a wonderful cleaning lady came to our aid and brought us to the correct elevator. I didn't think we would have needed to ask, but make sure you do ask directions if you have access to the suite. However, the suite was amazing, bed was uber comfortable and the remainder of the staff was very helpful and accommodating. Just wish I had gotten to enjoy some of the yummy cocktail snacks that everyone raved about!

Our criteria when looking for a venue were to be able to have our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and guest rooms in one location with a rustic vibe. My husband and I knew the Heritage was the perfect location for our ceremony and reception just from one look at their website. Jennifer was very responsive and helpful with all of the planning along the way. The venue was perfect, and Chris kept everything running smoothly the day of our wedding. Our guests commented on how great their meals were and most of them stayed the night and thought their rooms were excellent as well. If you are looking for a rustic venue, you won't regret choosing the Heritage!

I cannot say enough good things about the Heritage Hotel. It was the absolute perfect location for our wedding reception - the room was exactly what we were picturing, the hotel rooms were absolutely perfect especially with all of our out-of-town guests, and the wedding coordinators were SO helpful. Chris was assigned to our wedding, and she was absolutely incredible - we were definitely a little more high maintenance than most couples, but she just ran with it and made it all work so perfectly. They made everything that we wanted happen. All of our guests loved the rooms, loved the food, drinks, and space. Again, I can go on and on, but really just go ahead and book your wedding here because you won't find anything better!

My husband and I were married at the heritage in March. We had our ceremony and reception at the venue, along with many rooms booked for guests of the wedding. The rooms were beautiful and newly renovated, and the atmosphere was perfect for our wedding day! Jennifer was very helpful in the planning process, and Chris was great help on the day of the wedding in keeping things running on time! The heritage is a beautiful and accommodating venue and was the perfect rustic location for our big day!

When searching for a wedding venue we searched NY & CT. I attended a bridal show and liked a picture I had seen in a photographer's book. It was of the Heritage Hotels main room. After going to a dozen places I pulled the piece of paper out of my bridal bag and asked my fiance if we could look at one more place. He was a little hesitant but I am so glad we did. The Heritage Hotel has the best staff Jennifer, Chris, and JP were amazing. The guest loved the flow of the wedding, the views of the garden and the FOOD was amazing! One of my guest loved the food so much they booked Thanksgiving dinner for their family! The rooms are affordable and everything is so new. I received my fairy tale wedding. We even had our rehearsal dinner on site in a different room from the wedding and the food and staff were wonderful. The bar on site is a great after party place with pool tables and lots of seating. My photographer had so many places he could take pictures and truly love everyone of them! Thank You To the staff of the Heritage Hotel for making my wedding AMAZING!!

They were really easy to deal with when it came to adding hotel rooms and asking for updated rooming lists. It's also in a great location for out of state guests, easy access from i84 and plenty of places to eat and shop. I would definitely recommend staying here!

My husband and I absolutely loved everything about the Heritage in Southbury! From day one, Jennifer and Chris were so helpful and accommodating. They pay attention to every word, idea, and vision the bride has! I can thank them a million times for their attention to detail and for making me and my husband feel like royalty. Hands down the best place for a wedding!

I had my wedding reception at the heritage hotel on a friday night in June and the venue was absolutely beautiful! I was going for a rustic look and the room I had it in was perfect. I worked with Chris and Jennifer in the months leading up to the wedding and they were very accommodating (Chris was the one present on my actual wedding night). In addition the prices were very reasonable and the wedding package we chose had great value for the money. While I was beyond happy with the set up of the room and the decor, I was a little disappointed with dinner. We had the sit down plated dinner and salad came out first, followed shortly by pasta, but then the entrees took almost an hour to come after that. Many of my guests said something to me about once the wedding was over which made me upset. Since dinner came out so late my guests didn't have as much time to dance... but I wasn't going to let it bother me. The rest of the night was great until the very end when I was saying goodbye to my guests. Chris came up to me and told me I had to clear out the entire room of all my centerpieces, flowers and decorations (and I had a lot) and bring everything up to my hotel room right then and there. As the bride I didn't think this was something I'd have to do on my wedding night. In my opinion the hotel should have at least had a closet they could throw everything in until the morning and staff that could have helped. It kind of put a damper on the rest of our night, but luckily our families helped us clean up. Even though a couple things didn't go as planned, my husband and I still enjoyed every second of our special day.

The Heritage Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding. My wife and I randomly went to a Bridal show at the Heritage in early 2015, already having a venue booked, we took one look around and knew we had to change our minds. Luckily the date was available, upon booking Jennifer and Chris helped up begin to plan our event, they assured us the updates to the venue would be done for our wedding.
The updates to the venue were incredible, the new carpet, the chairs and the room updates were perfect. We've had nothing but amazing compliments since our wedding.
The communication between the Heritage and our Wedding party was completely efficient up until the wedding day. The wedding went off without a hitch, the whole day went perfectly.
The food at the venue was fantastic, previously we had heard negative reviews but my wife and I are in completely disagreement with them.
Finally, the updates made to the hotel rooms were modern and classy. The size and price was perfect for our guests staying overnight. We loved the idea of being able to just walk upstairs at the end of the night, rather than sit on a bus for 45 min.
We'd highly recommend the heritage hotel for your next wedding or event.

The Heritage had everything and more that we could have hoped for. Jen and Chris were wonderful to work with and very accommodating. I had a couple of unique requests (including making my own cake and a shuttle bus pickup to go see fireworks, our wedding was July 4, 2015) and they made sure that the process of putting our special day together and every detail met (and I would say exceeded) our expectations. I was looking for the Country Elegance look I call it (rustic but elegant) and I got it. The room is amazing with the rustic beams and field stone fireplace. Everything you need is right here. Our vendors (new to The Heritage) worked so well at the venue you would never know. The food was amazing. We received so many comments on how lovely and great the wedding was. So rewarding to hear after months of making your own decorations, favors etc. to see how well The Heritage and our other vendors made our vision for our special day a reality. Thank you to The Heritage and especially to Jen and Chris. We look forward to a visit for your annual Valentine's Day dinner. Some of our friends that are spread out in a couple of other states even want to start a new tradition of all of us getting together for a mini friend retreat at The Heritage each year going forward. Looking forward to making new memories in the same place we had one of the best days of our lives : )

I had my wedding ceremony and reception at the Heritage Hotel on 1/31/2015 and I could not say enough good things about the venue or the staff. Jennifer G. was amazing to work with. She made everything run smoothly, even though there were definitely a few hiccups. It was definitely the wedding of my dreams. Everyone there was great to work with and if I had to plan another big event I would definitely call there first.

We had our wedding at the Heritage on 9/5/15. Everything was taken care of for us. Everything is under one roof, the staff is exceptional, food is amazing, drinks are great, and the room is beyond gorgeous! It's also air conditioned. So if you are looking for a more rustic barn feel, this is the place for you! The hotel had just gone under some renovations and it is breath taking! The garden got a much needed redo! Jen and Chris were beyond helpful and attentive through out the whole planning process and through the night! I could not have asked for a better wedding!

Ok. I can't say enough about my wedding at the Heritage Hotel 7/24/15. AMAZING!! Five years ago, I went to a wedding here for one of my friends. I was very single but I said if I ever get married, I want it to be here. Well, five years later that dream came true. I instantly fell in love with the rustic, elegant feel and everything else followed. Brides, if you feel overwhelmed by this process, book the Heritage. They are so knowledgeable, they help you every step of the way, and it was just simply seamless. They also gave us great recommendations for vendors. We had TONS of out of town guests stay there (70+) and some from England! They couldn't stop commenting about how amazingly they were treated and how wonderful the service and hotel were. They also did our rehearsal dinner the night before by the pool which was awesome. And let me tell you, the guests loved the after party at the bar in the hotel and only having to get in the elevator to go to bed! Best wedding ever. Thank you Chris and Jennifer!

The Heritage Hotel is top notch! They did such a beautiful job, all my guest raved about the reception room and food. The hotel itself is beautiful. The staff goes the extra step to make your stay special. The rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. The food is delicious and they are able to accommodate every allergy and dietary restriction. The wedding planner Jen is super. She works closely with the bride and handles every detail. Jen was a joy to work with , she truly made my life easier. It was a beautiful night . Thank you Heritage Hotel Staff for making our wedding such a wonderful event.

Everyone had an amazing time at our wedding and I know that it was partially due to the lovely venue and staff at the Heritage. We had our ceremony, reception, and block of rooms on site and each one is was great. The bridal sweet was beautiful and great for the girls to get ready and for my husband and I on our wedding night. We used the largest room, 8 Mile Brook and it was perfect for our guests. Food was delish, cooked well, and service was great.
We loved that this venue had experience and expertise with weddings without feeling like a "wedding factory."
We would recommend the Heritage to anyone!

We got married and had our reception at The Heritage Hotel this October and everything was perfect! The day/ night of the wedding Chris Allen was with us and she made sure everything was perfect from the ceremony timing to whatever my husband and I needed was covered. All the staff at the hotel were great from the pub staff, the front desk, the catering staff for the wedding and even brunch. Everyone was helpful and friendly. It really was a great experience. The food was great and the garden was beautiful for the ceremony.
We booked our wedding with the Heritage through the director of catering, Jennifer Giuliano. Jennifer was amazing throughout the entire process. She answered any and all questions and made things happen during the year plus it took to plan our wedding. Jennifer was also very calming when the wedding nerves started to come. She was beyond helpful and comforting. I can not say enough to describe what a pleasure it was to work with Jennifer.
I highly recommend the Heritage Hotel for your wedding!! Our guest all complimented the venue ( Eight Mile Brook and the Garden). Our wedding was perfect!! Thank you to all the Heritage Staff, especially Jennifer for making our special day so perfect!
