The Barns At Wesleyan Hills

The most amazing and well organized venue we could have hoped for! They supported us through the entire planning process and were always an email or text away if we had any questions. The day could not have gone more smoothly because of our incredible day of coordinator Casey. The food was fantastic and our guests still can’t stop talking about everything they ate. If we could do it all again, I would get married here in a heartbeat.

Connecticut Wedding Group was absolutely phenomenal in planning our October wedding! From the moment we began working with them, they made the entire process feel seamless, bringing our vision to life down to the smallest detail. They listened carefully to what we wanted, added their own creative suggestions, and managed everything with such professionalism and care. On our wedding day, the team handled every aspect flawlessly – coordinating everything so effortlessly that we could truly enjoy every moment. Our guests are still talking about the stunning setup, the beautiful transitions, and how smoothly everything went. Connecticut Wedding Group made our dream day a reality, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for an expert team to create a memorable, stress-free wedding, look no further!

Everything was perfect!! The environment was beautiful, the food was amazing and the staff was incredible! We couldn’t have asked for a better venue!!

Quality of service was amazing, our wedding planner, Lexi was the absolute best!! So thankful for the staff for helping put together such a great day!

Booking our wedding at the Barns was the best decision we could have made! We booked it when I was 7 months pregnant and I did not stress at all with any of the planning! The team there kept me right on track and I had my DREAM wedding. I was told by multiple guests it was a fairy tale wedding. Allie helped bring my vision to life and our day of coordinator Sean went above and beyond to meet our needs the day of my wedding. It was absolutely perfect

Booking our wedding at The Barns with the CT Wedding Group was one of the best decisions we made. Our wedding was even more perfect than we ever could've imagined. I have to admit, before booking I was a bit skeptical reading all of the glowing reviews about the venue and the planning team because I didn’t think it was possible for them to be so perfect…. but they really were! Trust the reviews! Throughout the planning process the wedding planning team made it so easy, and they were there to make every decision feel much less scary and intimidating. They were so quick to respond to any question, big or small, and kept us on track and on time along the way. To put it in perspective, we moved across the country during the same time we were planning the wedding, and I'm very confident that is not something we would've been able to juggle had we not been working with CT Wedding Group! Casey was our day of coordinator, and she was absolutely amazing to work with! She kept us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed or anxious. She greeted us with the biggest smile every time we saw her throughout the entire day and night, and she was one step ahead of us with everything making sure we had everything we needed and were having the perfect day/night. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, and the ability to customize and personalize design and décor elements really made our day feel perfect for our vision. The food was so delicious, from the cocktail hour to the entrees, and the best of everything dessert station was a hit. The donuts & cupcakes were a crowd favorite! We've heard from so many guests that every single person working that night - from the bar to the wait staff - was friendly, smiling, and wonderful, which really helped to make our guests’ experience memorable. One of the best perks of working with the CT Wedding Group was their list of preferred vendors. I highly recommend you work with vendors they recommend. They have such a great network of extremely talented vendors that know The Barns inside and out, and they all worked together seamlessly making the day go so smoothly, from hair & makeup to flowers, photographers, and our DJ!

Evan and I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding! With the help and support from the CT Wedding Group, along with our coordinator Shannon, everything was perfect. We highly recommend the Barns as the venue of your dreams!

Matt and I were blown away with how smoothly everything operated on our big day. Our day-of coordinator (Shannon) did *not* skip a beat ~ she anticipated our every need and ensured that us, and all of our guests, were comfortable and well cared for. The entire group at The Barns took impeccable care of us from day one. Between their flawless communication and excellent guidance, we always knew we were in good hands. Their preparedness, professionalism, and hospitality is flawless. We could not have planned, hosted, and celebrated our wedding day so seamlessly without them. If you are planning a wedding for the first time, and / or looking to get married in or around the gold coast, know that you have struck gold by securing this venue. Cheers to those who are planning for the first time ~ while it is a challenging fete, it will be a *piece of cake* with The Barns (so, do yourself a favor and book them!)

The group at the Barns is top notch!! I can honestly say I was not stressed or worried about anything on our wedding day and everything ran so smoothly!! Cannot thank the staff enough for all they did! Also, by far the BEST food I have ever had at any wedding!! We got SO many compliments on how great the food was and the service and how friendly the staff was! Cannot recommend enough, so worth it!

The team at the barn was absolutely fantastic with the entire wedding process. I could call them on any day of the week and get a response back of any questions. Sean our day coordinator was an absolute rockstar and by the end of the day, I felt like he was family. Beautiful venue and beautiful grounds. I did not hear one thing from our guest about the venue. Food was very important to My husband and I and they exceeded our expectations. I would give six stars if that was available.

We were so happy with our experience at the Barns at Wesleyan Hills both during our big day, and every step of the way beforehand. The planning team was exceptional and incredibly organized, and helped us plan and take care of logistics at multiple stages throughout the process. On the day of our wedding, our day-of planner Sean was fantastic; he ran a tight ship and helped keep things according to plan. The space was gorgeous and they did a wonderful job with the decor. The interior and the views are both stunning. The food was delicious, and we received many compliments for it! We are very happy that we decided to get married here.

I can’t say enough amazing things about The Barns at Wesleyan Hills. The venue is beautiful, all the food is delicious, and the staff is out of this world amazing! They truly help to make your wedding day the best day ever and I am so thankful for them! My wedding day and all the planning that went into it was stress free thanks to CT Wedding Group! They are honestly the greatest!!

Choosing the Barns at Wesleyan Hills was the best decision I made throughout my whole wedding planning process. The staff was organized, flexible and wonderful to work with. The venue was stunning and the food was beyond amazing. My guests are still talking about it! Highly, highly, highly recommend!

Although a beautiful venue, beware of deposits and potential for having to cancel. This company has no ethics, morals or remorse for people but simply making a hefty profit off of you. My daughter had to cancel her wedding due to unforeseen circumstances after putting down $15,000. She canceled 13 months in advance and they refused to give back any portion of the money or let us find another couple to take that date. There was no monetary loss on their end with very minimal work put into the wedding planning since it was 13 months out. They had two 45 min zoom calls to go over timelines and that was it! They even had the audacity to lie and say my daughter’s wedding was going to cost $45,000 so the $15,000 was fair compensation for the work they did. My daughter’s original date she wanted to get married was September 2025 but it would cost $44,000. We were going to walk away because we couldn’t spend that amount but they worked with us saying if we changed the date to the off season then it would be lowered to $22,000, half the cost! They then averaged $8,000 for add ons which brought it to a max of $30,000 so we agreed to move forward. In no capacity were we going over that budget so their $45,000 estimate was a lie and was their was of keeping our hefty deposit. Although it’s a business, there are beautiful venues out that have morals and genuinely care for their couples and doing the right thing, not price gouging and keeping money when they are definitely going to fill that date at 13 months out. Also, be aware of hidden costs they don’t tell you about in the beginning like the crazy amount of money they charge for just using the bridal suite per hour above the very little time they give you or the up charge to change a low cost rib entree to the normal prime rib plate that the majority of venues have as a base entree.

CT Wedding Group is the best - made the planning process so easy and were so great the day of our wedding. Highly recommend!

What a dream wedding we had and it was all thanks to the Barns and everything they did. Immediately from the start they were amazing to work with and helped so much. The venue was the only one we looked at and immediately fell in love. The staff goes above and beyond, the food was delicious, and everything else was perfect. We had so many compliments on every single part of the wedding. They made sure my husband and I were taken care of the entire time, the guests were fed quickly with no issues, and everything else was perfect. We never felt once stressed during this wedding planning, they took care of everything without hesitation. Would 1000000/10 recommend them

We had the time of our lives at our wedding at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills! My love for The Barns started years ago after my sister got married there! I knew that after my sister's wedding, I had to get married at The Barns one day. That being said, I wanted to make sure my day was unique to me and my husband, and The Barns totally delivered! Our day was custom to us and SO special. The food is AMAZING, the venue (including the grounds) is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and the staff goes ABOVE AND BEYOND. Some guests and I had various food allergies/dietary restrictions and The Barns was more than happy to accommodate us (they truly cared and wanted to make sure we all ATE plenty and loved the food). We had so many guests texting us after our wedding (even notoriously tough critics) telling us what an incredible time they had at our wedding and how good the food was! I am confident The Barns is one of the best wedding venues around. When we would mention during our meetings with other vendors that we were getting married at The Barns, they sang their praises and shared their own great experiences working with The Barns as vendors ("they're amazing", "they're a well-oiled machine", "the food is so good") which was reassuring and great to hear. If you are looking to book a wedding venue where you do not have to worry about a thing except for showing up and marrying the love of your life, look no further! Our AMAZING vendors/staff: Day of Coordinator: Nicole Paternostro (she is amazing!) Photographer: Coli Michael Photography Videographers: Whitehead Films DJ: Powerstation Events (we had Jesse Chen, he is wonderful!) Florals: Grove Gardens Florist Cupcakes and wedding cake: NoRa Cupcake Company Hair and makeup: All Dolled Up Wedding dress: Alexandra's Bridal Boutique Wedding dress alterations: Lauren Rush Alterations Tuxes: The Black Tux Bridesmaids Dresses: Stacees Photo Wall: Ravishing Rentals Jewelry: Mallove's Jewelers (in Waterford, CT)

We had our wedding at the barns during the summer. Since the very beginning, every staff member was extremely helpful and insightful in the planning process. They guided us through the whole thing from dates to have vendors booked by and gave awesome suggested vendors which we actually used for everything. We had Casey as our coordinator who made my vision come to life! Guests still talk about how awesome and on top of everything she was during the wedding. The food was amazing and delicious and many of our guests still talk about it saying it was the best and most fun wedding they have ever been to!

The Barns was absolutely incredible! I would give 6 stars if I could! They were amazing, professional, and took care of everything! They were incredibly organized and kept us prepared and early for everything! I would recommend them 100% to anybody getting married!! 😎

I was married at The Barns back in 2004, when we needed to individually hire in each fork and grain or rice, but even then it was worth every moment! Ready to celebrate 20 year anniversary and would pick this location again in a heartbeat!

How can I possibly put into words just how amazing our wedding was because of The Barns? As you can see from any photos, the space is beautiful, both inside and out. What you can't see is how it has a way to make 140 people feel intimate, but NOT crowded. We also had several professional chefs in attendance tell us it was some of the best food they've ever had. Aside from the beauty the day of, it was the team at The Barns that made the biggest difference. Wedding planning can be so stressful, but this team was there every step of the way. They were able to take our unique ideas and vision and help bring them to life. Whether they pointed us in the right direction of things we could buy or totally take things off our plate, they went above and beyond. They kept us on track, but never stressed. I felt comfortable reaching out anytime I had a question and was somehow always happy with the response. Everything from start to finish was magical!

The level of service you will experience here is worth every penny. For our honeymoon we stayed at the Park Hyatt in Milan with a 24/7 concierge and incredible service and it was similar to the care that we received throughout our wedding planning experience and wedding day. All questions answered promptly and with great detail, all requests granted to the best of their abilities, and any and all comforts were thought of well in advance and provided to me on the day of. My guests were immediately raving to me about the food, the service, and the venue, even before the night was over. Hands down, they said, it was the best wedding they had ever been to. CT Wedding Group has wedding planning and execution down to a science. At our final appointment I had the easiest time handing over all my wedding items, briefly giving an idea of what I wanted done with them, and Lexi, our day of wedding coordinator, and the team made it all happen. Everyone loved Lexi and told me multiple times that day how amazing she was. She was bubbly and genuinely excited to be there for me that day. She was there the whole time. She was there to pin up the bottom of my dress right before I was to walk down the aisle. She coached the young flower girl and ring bearer on what to do. She bustled my dress. She got me a whole platter of the passed hor d'oeurvres and tacos from the station to eat privately right before the reception introductions. See? Concierge level service. I had a fair amount of non-traditional wedding elements at play - I wanted an Escape Room themed wedding so I had a ton of elements to keep track of - individual wooden boxes for each guests that each had a unique lock, motel key chains with guests' names on it with attached keys, a countless array of signs, locked boxes and items with secret compartments that I needed hidden around the venue, special cards for the Bartenders DJ to give out to guests if the guests gave them a secret passcode (which I provided to guests on puzzle pieces in their boxes, if they put it together!). The team enthusiastically embraced my ideas and placed everything perfectly on the tables and around the venue for display. The guests told me that the bartenders took their jobs as passcode keepers very seriously and had a great time playing along with them. If a guest said a passcode too loudly, they would playfully chide them, "Shhh, it's a secret!". Our friends loved it! And the Food! The guests could not stop talking it! I already knew it was amazing, but to hear that from friends and family was worth it. The Service - friends commented that it was akin to a high quality restaurant and not just a caterer. Servers checked on tables frequently during dinner service and were highly attentive. Lexi went around and introduced herself, impressing my friends further. We also had the Philly Cheesesteak Station, the Tacos and Tequila Station, and the Loaded Fry Bar and we did not regret it! All of our guests LOVED those extra food stations and commented that they were delicious! I could go on and on about every single aspect of this day - the attention to detail, the genuine kindness from all of the staff that I encountered, the stunning beauty of The Barns... But really to see my closest friends and family just have a truly fun time was the best thing ever. CT Wedding Group at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills made all of my wedding day dreams, and silly requests, come true.

Many thanks to everyone at The Barns! Our son and daughter-in-law were married here last Friday (April 12, 2024). Everything from start to finish was superb! We were taken care of upon arrival that morning in the bridal suite. Everyone we encountered was thoughtful, friendly and accommodating. Lexie, the wedding coordinator, was fantastic! She was hands on throughout the day and evening. She was warm and friendly and kept everything running smoothly and efficiently. She’s a true leader and everyone loved her! The food was absolutely delicious and the waitstaff outstanding. The feedback from our guests has been phenomenal! I would highly recommend The Barns at Wesleyan Hills. You certainly will not be disappointed!

If you are thinking about booking The Barns, look no further! This was the first venue my husband and I looked at and we loved it so much we booked that day. Reading all the reviews I was confident CT Wedding Group would make our wedding day special, but that still didn’t prepare me for how incredible it really was! Their team was there through every step of the process, keeping me on track with planning and checking in to offer assistance every step of the way. Our day-of coordinator, Lexi, made the day run seamlessly so I didn’t have to stress one bit and could focus on soaking in all the little moments. She was amazing! Our guests could not stop raving about the food! All the steaks were cooked to perfection, the happy hour stations were a HUGE hit, and of course dessert! The Barns was the PERFECT venue and I still am in awe of how stunning it all looked. Truly was the best day of our lives!

I truly cannot say enough about The Barns and my experience with CT Wedding Group. The amount of help, availability, advice, professionalism, and overall knowledge of the industry was off the charts and it translated so immaculately to our wedding day and guest experience. When you book this venue, you are also booking a massive team of wedding planners and coordinators at an extremely affordable price. I was able to text their given phone number on any day, at any hour of the day, just to ask simple questions and get their insight. They answered every question within an hour and would even offer to speak to me on the phone or meet virtually on zoom. The actual venue, The Barns, provided a warm romantic setting for our wedding and basically spoke for itself in our pictures. Our guests were amazed by the vibe and complimented our choice for several days after. Their compliments included INCREDIBLE wait staff service, atmosphere, attention to guests, and extremely tasty food. I highly recommend The Barns and CT Wedding Group!!

Having my wedding at The Barns in February 2024 was the best decision I ever made! Despite having a wedding in the middle of winter, all of my guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended! And I may be biased, but I could not agree more and that is all thanks to the fantastic staff at the Barns!! The staff is so available to answer any questions, work with you towards creating your vision, and very patient with you as you navigate this stressful process! And the site itself! If you are looking for a rustic yet elegant venue, look no further. As soon as you walk into the middle barn it feels like magic - the natural hard wood, stone floors, twinkle lights everywhere - it’s just amazing! Omgsh and the food. THE FOOD! I cannot tell you how many compliments I got from my guests on the food! Both the quality and the quantity! Literally everyone and everything was amazing, and I go could on and on, so seriously BOOK WITH THIS VENUE!

Great working experience, all of our questions got answered in a timely manor. Venue was spectacular and the food was all people could talk about. Great experience!

Such an amazing venue! From start to finish, CT wedding planning with the Barns at Wesleyan Hills was efficient, kind, and professional. They provided us with vendors when we were in need, gave advice whenever asked, and worked within our budget. They checked in often and provided a timeline and deadlines to keep us on track to help keep the stress at the minimum. We had an amazing day of coordinator, Nicole, who 2 days before we met with and she gave us an idea as to what to expect, though our wedding far surpassed expectations! Nicole and CT wedding group perfected our vision day of, making it stress free. The bridal suite was beautiful and the guys had a nice lounge area set up for their early arrival with snacks and beer to take away nerves. Nicole was there every step of the way, from bustling to making sure we had a drink in hand (or water) whenever needed. The venue itself was clean, much decor to choose from, and AMAZING food. So many Hors d'Oeuvres to start the night with, all included. It was great to have a venue that each was not separate. Open bar was very reasonably priced as well as the must have best of everything dessert! Truly the perfect night thanks to a great team!

I truly don’t have the words to express how great it was working with every single member of the Barns staff. Throughout the planning process we talked with different wedding planners, all of them were so helpful and kind. The day of, we had Autumn and Shelby, a dream team! There is nothing they wouldn’t do for us and they were so excited to make our day absolutely perfect. We had ENDLESS compliments regarding the food and open bar, our guests are still talking about it months later. There’s nothing I want more than to be able to attend another wedding at the Barns as a guest so I could experience it again. I would recommend white for your wedding without any hesitation.

I honestly don’t even know where to begin but to thank everyone at The Barns for helping us to have the most incredible wedding. The food here is truly excellent! I come from a large Italian American family who are extremely difficult to please and every single person I have spoken to since our wedding in December is still talking about how amazing all of the food was. The venue itself is stunning but the gem of this entire place is the planning team. The team at CT Wedding Group was there for every phone call, answering all of my questions no matter how big or small. They helped my husband and I create a truly unique and beautiful wedding. I would also like to give a very special shoutout to Nicole and Lexi. Nicole worked with us at our rehearsal and truly went above and beyond when she sat down on the bathroom floor and supported me as I cried my heart out to her. Lexi was our day-of-coordinator and was the glue that held the entire operation together. She handled some very delicate issues with incredible grace and was always by our sides. Our wedding would not have been what it was without her.

We cannot say enough good things about CT wedding group. We both have extremely hectic jobs and the CT wedding group made wedding planning a breeze for our wedding at The Barns at Wesleyan hills. It all came together so perfectly. From the day we toured The Barns, we knew that it was our place to get married. It is stunning and the staff makes you feel immediately welcomed. The staff is so wonderful, easy to work with, always available via phone, email, text - whatever we preferred for the day. The entire team is so supportive of you and your visions and they took the time to answer our questions. They go above and beyond to make sure the day is what you have envisioned. All of my decorations were set up perfectly, more perfectly than I could have ever envisioned and at the end of the night, the team packed everything up in our cars for us making it seamless for us to continue our party with our family and friends. The team truly made wedding planning less stressful. We absolutely cannot forget the chefs either. Oh the food, we can’t wait to go back to eat the food again. The food is beyond amazing and the dessert spread is out of this world if you get the best of everything. We continue to get comments on how amazing everything was. The best part was that we got to enjoy the food and desserts. Your day of coordinator makes sure you eat! We trialed all of our appetizers, sat for our meal, and made it out for desserts. It truly was the perfect day and we cannot thank the entire group for all of their hard work in the planning process. We are extremely excited to come back in a couple months as guests!

We couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our wedding day. The entire planning process was so smooth and we never once worried that we weren’t going to be taken care of. Our day of coordinator Lexi was a god send, keeping us on track (and well fed!) every step of the way. The food was amazing, the venue itself is gorgeous and we are still hearing from friends and family about how perfect everything was. Highly recommend the Barns!

The Barns was the most beautiful place to have a wedding. Not only is the venue spectacular but the services that they provide for you help you have an absolutely stress free planning process and wedding day. I couldn’t be more in love with how our wedding day went and I owe a lot to them. Sean our day of coordinator was truly incredible and the day would not have gone so smooth without him. We will be recommending The Barns to everyone. It was a night we will never forget!

It's taken me a little more than a month to write this review because i've truly been struggling to find the words to describe how PERFECT The Barns at Wesleyan Hills is! My fiance and I found this venue about two weeks after we got engaged and it was basically love at first sight. The weeping willows, the rustic feel and most of all the staff was so attentive even at our first tour. A week later I booked it while I was on vacation in Utah because I couldn't let anyone else have the last Saturday available in October 2023. It was the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning process. From the planning process of our check-in's and them reassuring us we're ahead of schedule and to take a deep breathe. To the months leading up and us texting the planners weekly (or daily at times) with the smallest questions and they would respond basically instantly. I don't think any other venue could compare with their communication skills. However, I have to get to the best part. The day before and the day of. Almost every brides nightmare, it was raining. I was persistent in saying I was getting married under those weeping willows and the only other people I needed were my husband and officiant. Shelby (a goddess of a day of coordinator) was on my side and said if anyone had an issue with getting married in the rain, they can come talk to her. Sure enough, we got married in the rain and it was the most romantic wedding. If you get Shelby as your day of coordinator, thank your gaurdian angel because she was one of the major reasons we were stress free on our day. Even throughout our wedding, everything was seamless. As we greeted all of our guests at their tables, Shelby followed us to make sure we didn't spend too long at one table and made sure we had a drink in hand and time to eat. Even though I only ate about half my meal (only couldn't eat the other half because of adrenaline) it was way more than I was expecting to eat. We ended our night with a private last dance. They scooted our guests our of the big barn so quick so we had plenty of time to do our dance and to take in the whole night just us two. AND Shelby took some sneaky pics of us that made me cry the next day because I wish the night never ended. If you are between the barns and any other venue, don't be silly and pick the barns!! it was worth every single penny because of how seamless, easy and perfect our day was. Best day ever.

CT wedding group was phenomenal! They literally took care of everything. They were there to answer all our questions and concerns along the way. The decorations were beautiful and the food was amazing. Lexi and Autumn were so wonderful on the day of. I cannot even express how amazing our day of coordinator Lexi was. She was keeping tabs on us throughout the entire day from getting ready, to walking down the aisle, until clean up at the end. She made sure we got all the photos we wanted, always had a drink in our hand, thanked all the tables, kept on our timeline and made time to eat some food. I honestly don't know how she did it all! She truly helped make our day so special.

Everything about our planning and wedding day was seamless! The staff makes some pretty big promises throughout the planning journey and they absolutely delivered beyond what we ever imagined! It’s definitely an expensive venue but was worth every penny for a wedding day that had literally 0 and I mean 0 hiccups! We primarily worked with Ali for the planning and Nicole was our day of coordinator, both were amazing! Our guests continue to rave about how amazing the food was! 10/10 would recommend!

The Barns and the Ct wedding group made sure we had the best wedding possible! They were so personable and helped us with every little thing! The Barns at Wesleyan Hills was our dream venue and it was beyond gorgeous and perfect🤍

My husband and I chose The Barns because of the beautiful rustic atmosphere, paired with CT wedding group’s amazing food. However, after having our wedding with The Barns, we have so much more to be thankful for. Our day was phenomenal for both our guests and ourselves. Our decor, paired with the lighting and set up of the space made it magical. Our wedding day coordinator Shelby was absolutely incredible from the start of the night to the finish. She was on top of everything and helped to make everything run smoothly, as well as made us feel so special. She treated us like she had known us for years, which made our experience that much more personal and comfortable. My husband and I can’t thank the entire team enough for helping to make our day the most memorable and beautiful. We have heard nothing but positive feedback from our guests about not only the beautiful space, but also the unforgettable tasty food. THANK YOU ALL! We are so grateful.

From our initial tour of The Barns at Wesleyan Hills, we were blown away by the staffs knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail. The grounds are beautiful and the food is incredible. Stop your venue search and book The Barns at Wesleyan Hills - you will not be disappointed.

It was an absolute joy to get married at The Barns. My wife and I knew we wanted to get married at The Barns the moment we visited the venue and stood, facing each other, under the willow trees near the pond. The venue is rustic yet classy. Collaborating with the CT Wedding Group for wedding planning and catering was a HUGE load off of our backs. Our day-of coordinator, Shelby, was attentive to every need we had throughout the night. Her and her team ensured everything kept running behind the scenes. It was a blessing to have not only a team but a DJ (through Powerstation Events) that very clearly knew what they were doing and made sure we were never left wanting. And I know it’s the groom saying this, but this was some of the best food we’ve had at a wedding. I can’t believe that they were able to serve such delicious appetizers and food to our 130 guests over the course of the night. If you are on the fence about The Barns at Wesleyan Hills, GO FOR IT!

This venue checked all of my boxes and then some. We had a big wedding and this venue was more than accommodating of that. It’s rustic, charming and spacious and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous for pictures. There is a bridal suite and kitchen for use day of if you want to get ready on site. This may be obvious but CT wedding group really knows what they’re doing when it comes to weddings. The food is the best you’ll find anywhere, they have so much available for decor, and all of the staff were incredible and so helpful. Everything is so organized, and they have already thought of everything for you so you don’t have to. All you have to do is pick what you like and plan. We had such a blast at our tasting and loved working with our planners and coordinators throughout the entire process. Our wedding was so much fun and we were actually able to eat and enjoy ourselves without worrying because our coordinators were taking such good care of us! If I could do it all over again, I’d pick CT wedding group every time. I’m so thankful for them making my wedding day perfect.

The Barns is the absolute perfect place to get married. They literally helped us every step of the way; they helped my (then) boyfriend propose at the venue and completely surprise me, they were responsive to every question we asked, they showered us with excitement, and were so well organized. The day of, I had zero stress because they had everything covered. The guests raved about the food and how beautiful the venue was. It is worth every penny.

From the moment we walked into The Barns at Wesleyan Hills, we knew it was meant to be. It was rustic and charming but also classy and luxurious — and it felt exactly “us.” And that was before we even met the incredible staff! Casey and the rest of the Connecticut Wedding Group made sure our day was even more magical than we could’ve hoped for. They were extremely attentive and professional, from start to finish. And oh man, the food! The food, the food, the food! Every single dish was one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Our guests are STILL talking about the taco station during cocktail hour. All in all, gorgeous venue, otherworldly food, and great people who take care of the bride and groom every step of the way.

Of the millions of decisions we made planning our wedding, choosing The Barns at Wesleyan Hills was undoubtedly the BEST decision we made. I didn’t immediately think barn was my vibe and it was completely different than the several venues we saw beforehand but the second we stepped foot on the grounds we knew this was our venue. The picturesque setting with incredibly memorable weeping willow trees, gorgeous waterfall, the bridge and a perfectly manicured lawn made it feel luxurious but charming as well. Our decision was only solidified by stepping foot inside into the most beautiful barn we could imagine. We fell in love with the chandeliers but loved the various decor options to really customize the space however best fits your style and vision. Aside from how stunning the venue was the thing we’ll never stop talking about (and neither will our guests) is how INCREDIBLE the food was! Chef Steve Lisitano and the rest of the catering group provided the dining experience of our dreams from the wide array of hors d’oeuvres and stations that were beautifully displayed to a buffet that everyone loved and an unreal “Best of Everything” dessert experience. Last but not least, a huge part of why we had the most incredible wedding day that surpassed everything we could have ever wanted was due to the support from the entire team at the Connecticut Wedding Group. The entire planning process leading up to, the flow of the day, and beyond exceptional service from the entire staff made our day unforgettable by all and we are so thankful to the entire team.

We had a long list of venues and The Barns of Wesleyan Hills was the first one up on our list. From the moment we walked inside we fell in LOVE. The outside area was just stunning. We booked the venue that day and the rest was history! The staff truly made the planning process as easy as possible. I would ask a million questions and whenever I would send an email, responses were given within the same day. When Rob and I had our food tasting, we were so excited for all our family and friends to experience the awesome food. Every person we interacted with was so attentive to our concerns or needs. Casey, Sean, Autumn, and Mary Beth were amazing along with the staff, servers and of course chefs! Casey coordinated the most perfect day. She was so attentive, detail oriented, and genuinely cared about making our day special . She is the best! I couldn’t imagine anyone else making our day so amazing! Our guests were raving about the food, service, and overall decor! It all came together and our vision came to life, especially with the help our florist Justine Ramsey. She killed it! We wish we can go back and do it again! All our vendors were SO amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better team!

We could not recommend The Barns enough! From the beginning of the planning process, the staff at CT Wedding Group was there to answer any and all questions quickly and thoroughly. They continuously checked in to ensure that we were on track with the planning process and always made us feel comfortable and confident in our decisions. Our wedding day itself was PERFECTION thanks to our day of coordinator, Lindsay, and the rest of the CT Wedding Group staff. They were there to check in on us, make sure that we ate (and had a drink in hand always), and help with any hiccups that came up in a calm and encouraging manner. Our guests (and my now husband and I!!) are still raving about the food and the quality of service. It was truly the best day ever and we wish that we could do it again every weekend!!!

The absolute best venue and planners I could ever have asked for. My wedding was a dream thanks to them!

The staff at the Barns was AMAZING! Shelby was our coordinator and she did an awesome job keeping all the reckless groomsmen in line. Super organized and all of the staff was on the same page. The FOOD was some of the best we've ever had! Our guests RAVED about our food selections (we did a buffet style dinner and sundae dessert for dessert). The passed apps were a huge hit as well. Every single one of them was delicious! We live in Arizona so planning a wedding in Connecticut was overwhelming. The Barns made planning the wedding EFFORTLESS.

Where do I even begin?! From the moment my husband, Brian and I went to visit the Barns (before we were even engaged), we fell in love. We literally opened the car doors and were both overcome with a sense of excitement that this was “the one”. The excitement grew from there. We got to talk with Jessica, who made us want to just hug her, but also made it a conversation and not a sales pitch. We made the decision that day and we booked a date. Being two type A, planners and over thinkers the fact this was such an easy decision is very telling. Our following meetings were with Mary Beth- TALK ABOUT AN AMAZING HUMAN. Continued to make us even more enthusiastic about this journey. She made everything so stress free and easy with the biggest smile through it all. We were lucky enough to work with Allie next, who continued to make the planning process fun and simple (so so simple…)! We had zero stress throughout the entire process and enjoyed every step of the way (we have said how much we miss it already)! The big day came quickly and throughout it all CTWedding group provided endless emails and checkins to make sure we were never ever anything, but happy, prepared and having fun. They wanted to make sure our day was literally THE BEST DAY EVER, and when the day came, Casey Gavin really did. Her with her right hand, Autumn made the day absolutely perfect for us. From start to finish, Casey was there to make the day a dream. The way that she listened to us in conversation and then took those details about who we are and incorporated them into the night not only shows how talented she is, but also what an amazing person she is. I can’t let this review (novel) end without highlighting the food and all of the other staff with CT Wedding group. The servers, the CHEFS and all the people behind the scenes deserve endless awards. Brian and I being HUGE foodies were absolutely over the moon with both the endless food and service behind it. We love CTWEDDINGGROUP!

Early in the planning process I remember reading great reviews for CWG and thought to myself, “There is no way they are THAT good.” Boy, was I wrong. They really are THAT good and more. We cannot say enough amazing things about The Barns at Wesleyan Hills and the incredible members of the CWG. First and foremost, they make the wedding planning process so smooth. Throughout the first couple months after booking they held almost monthly calls with us to help us understand what tasks needed to be completed when and which vendors they suggested. They helped us take what seemed like an endless list of tasks, and break it down into manageable chunks to stay on top of. It really made the wedding planning process so seamless and stress free. On to the wedding day- we were completely blown away by Shelby and her team. They were absolutely incredible. 100% laser focused on making sure everything is perfect, you are happy and well taken care of, the venue looks amazing, and that everyone in attendance is provided for. We never had to worry about anything knowing that Shelby and her team were on it. All of our guests remarked just how amazing the staff was- the service, the food, the decor, the EVERYTHING. I’ve never been at a wedding where the staff interacts with the guests like CWG does. Our families were blown away. Really, just an incredibly professional and thoughtful group that take what could’ve been a stressful day and just make it so easy for you to focus on enjoying your big day. Lastly, the venue is absolutely beautiful. The rustic big barn, the amazing middle barn space, and outdoor area. It rained on our wedding day and CWG seamlessly moved the ceremony inside - what a blessing in disguise. It was breathtaking!! If you’re looking for a rustic wedding venue with an out of this world staff then the Barns at Wesleyan Hills and the CWG are exactly what you’re looking for. They made our wedding the perfect day and will undoubtedly do the same for you!!

I would highly recommend this venue for any couple! Their prices are very comparable for similar venues, but the other ones often do not include food or planning services. The planning team at The Barns are so knowledgeable and helpful, they will ensure that your day is exactly what you want. The day of staff are absolute pros at what they do and will ensure that your day goes off seamlessly. The food is amazing and so many guests shared that the attentiveness of the staff was above and beyond. From choosing our date to the team waving goodbye at the end of the night, I felt completely supported and in good hands. If I were to plan my wedding all over again, it would be at The Barns (again!) hands down. Many thanks to the staff for making our day amazing.

Where do I even start?! The Barns at Wesleyan Hills (and all of CT Wedding Group) made my wedding dreams come true! Their customer service is over the top incredible. From the moment that I inquired about the Barns, until the last second of our wedding night, they were so responsive and helpful. They understood the pressure having a wedding can put on you and did their best to take the burden off of us. The food! I am a vegetarian and have a very specific palate. They worked with me to create a new dish that I wanted to eat on my wedding day. So many people came up to us at our wedding and gushed about the food, citing that they would have no idea it was banquet food that was serving 150+ people. Every dish and appetizer was handcrafted to perfection. The venue itself was gorgeous and set the scene of our romantic and relaxed wedding day. The outdoor ceremony location on the venue’s property was such a nice thing to have, and we transitioned into cocktail hour right after our ceremony. The location of the venue was great too, about 2 hours from Boston (where we live) and 1.5 hours from most of our family that lives in Southern CT or New York. Once the day got going, we undoubtedly knew we were in good hands. Casey, our day of coordinator, expertly handled all of the little details and completely took the stress off of us. We can’t recommend this venue and company enough, they are certainly amazing at what they do and make you feel like you are their only client. I wish I could rewind and celebrate with them again!

Everyone and everything was amazing! It was such a beautiful venue and everything was perfect. The wedding planners helped with everything and the food was spectacular. All of our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. And my husband and I want to do it all over again and be invited back there as guests.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about The Barns. One of the reason we chose The Barns was because of hands on and involved they were are for the wedding planning process. Every single employee that we had a conversation with while planning our wedding was friendly, professional, personable, understanding, helpful and knew exactly what they were talking about. They are in your corner from day 1 and truly are there to support you and being your visions to life. While the staff are just amazing, the venue is absolutely stunning- elegant and gorgeous. However the food is out of this world. Every person I talked to after the wedding raved about the food and said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. My husband and I are currently trying to convince everyone we know to get married there so we can eat their food again! I mean truly, if they had a restaurant we would be there all the time. All in all, from the stunning outdoor ceremony area, to the support and friendliness of the stuff, the delicious food, overall a 12/10 experience. They are the fully package. They truly are everything we could have asked for and could not have made our day any more perfect!!!

I don’t even know where to begin to describe the incredible experience we had working with Connecticut Wedding Group at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills. The Barns at Wesleyan Hills was the first and only venue we toured when we started our search. The Barns alone are the perfect mix of rustic, charming, and elegant, not to mention the beautiful grounds. Once we made the decision and picked our date, we knew that we would be in good hands with the CWG planning team. However, never could have anticipated exactly incredible they would be! During the planning process, the planning team was SO responsive to any and all questions we had. They took their time to explain things, making sure we felt confident and comfortable with all decisions leading up to our dream day. On our wedding day, the whole team was attentive, flexible, and we truly did not have to worry about a thing (even with some curveballs from mother nature!). The food was incredible, the venue was stunning, and the staff was top-notch. The experts at CWG truly are the best in the business. Our wedding day was a dream come true and we have the CWG and The Barns at Wesleyan Hills to thank for it.

The barns has the most professional, caring staff from the wedding planning team to the staff taking care of you the wedding day. They make everything so easy for you starting day one when you go to the venue to tour to starting the planning to wedding day. Everything flowed so smoothly. They do it all set up, clean up, taking care of you personally the entire night. I did not have to stress or lift a finger at all. They are truly amazing and I would recommend them to literally anyone!

The Barns is not only a stunning wedding venue, but the team that works there is truly dedicated to making your experience flawless. We didn't have to worry about a thing, the coordinators anticipated our every need. Food was amazing, service was amazing, their flexibility with allergies was seamless. Our friends and family are still talking about how magical the whole day was. I couldn't say enough nice things about the Barns. Just stop your search, and book it now.

Choosing The Barns at Wesleyan Hills is a no-brainer. First of all, it was the first venue I visited and actually the only one, because the second I walked in I immediately knew it was the one. It's completely stunning indoors and outdoors. I could go on for hours about it's beauty but what really made this venue special was the staff. My first meeting was with Jessica, she was kind, accommodating, and so helpful. Then throughout the planning process, the planning team got us through it step by step with so much ease. They were right there with us every step of the way and helped us plan to most perfect wedding. Seriously, the most stress-free experience. Wedding day, we could not have gotten any luckier to have Jenna and Camille as our day-of coordinators. I can't even put into words how incredible these two women are. They used their creative expertise to decorate the venue even better than I envisioned. Every last detail was perfect. They made sure that we always had a full drink in hand, ate a full dinner, and got to enjoy every single cocktail hour snack. They made sure we stayed on schedule and seriously did not miss a beat. The day was seamless, zero hiccups, and we got to actually be present and enjoy it because of them. I could write an essay about how great they were. Overall, the entire wedding experience with this wonderful group was perfect and I don't have a single negative thing to say. Please do yourself a favor, choose The Barns!

We had an amazing experience from start to finish working with everyone at the Barns at Wesleyan Hills!!! The planning process was seamless, and everyone at CT Wedding Group was incredibly responsive and helpful. They worked with us to make every aspect of our wedding day exactly what we had hoped it would be. The day of was essentially stress free because of all of the work they had put in ahead of time, so we were free to enjoy every moment of our day!

Loved their attentiveness and help during the process. The Barns provided a timeline to keep us on track while deciding everything from vendors to decor. It was perfect!

Very responsive and answered all my questions quickly (even when I sent them at random times). The venue is beautiful and the food is amazing!
