Stamford Museum & Nature Center

ht it was special that what we paid ultimately went back to supporting the museum and nature center. And if you're lucky enough to meet/work with Jeanette, know that you are in the best of hands. She was attentive, responsive, thoughtful, and an overall joy to work with. Cannot say enough great things about her. Thank you to the SM&NC for blessing us with the greatest celebration of our lives!

sure to work with. She is kind, thoughtful, and communicated promptly and professional!

wedding management so I was really seeking freedom in how I constructed the wedding but also personal care as this is a big life event and I had helped many brides before myself. Jeanette & her team were an absolute joy to work with. Jeanette was always available & quick to answer questions (even when I had lots of them!), she gave me great input and tips and really helped guide me in the right direction. The entire process felt very friendly and supportive. I am hard to impress with customer care but Jeanette and her team really did impress me; I was honestly sad when it was all over because there were no more meetings to coordinate at this beautiful venue! The venue itself (in my opinion) is lovely. It's a unique blend of nature/rustic meeting elegance/history. Everyone has there own taste, but we did the ceremony outside with cocktail hour, food/dancing in the mansion and then a fire/smores by the water and the entire night was flawless with the support of Jeanette, Gigi and their team. Jeanette was also very helpful with afew of our guests who needed special transport due to ambulatory issues and that was a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders as I wanted certain parts of the wedding done in different areas of the venue but I wanted guests to be comfortable/able to participate and with Jeanettes help there were no issues at all with this! I cannot reccomend this beautiful venue with their professional, kind and committed event management staff enough!!! If it is your style venue you will not be disappointed in having your event here, you are in great hands 😊

gi were a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them for all types of events in a quaint and unique setting!

put this in context for you, I’ve never felt so compelled to praise a team, to the extent that I've found out who their boss is and took the time to right them a note during busy wedding season-- this is a first. That’s how awesome this team is. Jeanette throughout the entire planning process was an absolute dream. Jason and Ann were very detailed and thorough, and Jeanette answered every single one of their many, many emails and requests. Then while onsite, Jeanette went above and beyond. She always made herself present and continuously asked how she could be of help. Dom was an extension of Jeanette. Being just as incredibly helpful, and taking over when Jeanette departed, Dom was the epitome of cheerful and hospitable. He was kind, friendly and a joy to work with. Even though we had some major setbacks with our caterer being over two hours late in the beginning, these guys didn’t miss a beat. Don’t get me wrong, it was a mad dash to get everything finished on time, however Jeanette and Dom were the reason the bride and groom never knew that catering was so late. Jeanette and Dom without asking or hesitation threw themselves into the mix, setting up all 150 ceremony chairs, popping-up tables, working with the caterers, they even printing floor-plans when the catering company had arrived with none - just to make sure they were set, and they took care of all their questions (when they did finally arrive). You have an absolute dream team on your hands and I just couldn’t go without saying anything. I hope to be back with you all soon to work with this awesome crew again!

ils and paved walkways. The farm and its animals seem well cared for etc. The gardens are also well maintained. From the receptionists to the young members of their grounds keeping crew..all were very nice and helpful. What we experienced from their Events manager in charge of weddings, however, was nothing short of demonstrative unprofessionalism. To make matters worse we hired her early on, per her suggestion/offer, to be our day of coordinator. What a mistake. Non disclosure of fees/costs, curt emails to us as well as other vendors, nasty, one-word correspondence for timeline reviews a week before the actual wedding, cursing/F-bombs said in front of the bride as well as family & friends during on-site meetings and the actual wedding, a frozen wedding cake left inside the venue's refrigerator all day prior to cake cutting, botched coordination of large rental pick ups the day after the wedding etc. Until SMNC management can come up with better oversight of weddings in general I'm afraid I can't recommend you have your wedding here.
