I cannot say enough good things about the venue, bartending staff, and management! We had an amazing, smooth day, and guests raved about the venue and staff too! The beauty of the site really set the tone for a fun filled day!

Jennifer and Jesse,
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with our venue, bartending staff, and management. It warms our hearts to know that your special day was amazing and smooth, and that your guests were equally de...
lighted.
Creating a beautiful and enjoyable atmosphere is always our goal, and it sounds like we succeeded in setting the perfect tone for your fun-filled day. We truly appreciate your kind words, and we're delighted to have been a part of your celebration. Love, Anna and THC Wedding Team
EXCEPTIONAL! We found this venue on Instagram and we never have been more thankful for a targeted ad. The minute we arrived we KNEW this was our spot. The venue itself is beautiful but the attention to detail and the employees just blew us away...
. We were worried about our photos but this place comes to LIFE. Gorgeous background and this venue made it easy to be in the moment with each other. The Garden at the Hops has thought of everything you could possibly need. It is very relaxed but you can dress it up exactly how you and your soulmate see fit. We were given a dream of a wedding coordinator- Anna. She was the most attentive, caring and experienced professional. She literally brought the magic and we did not have to worry or lift a finger. Anna and her staff made us feel like royalty. She guided us along the way and shared useful information to help make our day perfect. We really had no idea what to expect and now we tell every one- you need someone like Anna. She is truly a gem and we are really not sure how our day would have been without her. The Garden at The Hops created the most perfect day- if you are looking for a unique experience look no further. This is the place you and your partner will feel so loved and supported.
Any questions?
We absolutely LOVED The Hops Company for our wedding venue; however, working with their staff during the planning process had some very tough moments. The venue is gorgeous and planning a wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic it was so important...
for us to have things outside and in fresh air. The updates the venue has made to the ceremony area, putting concrete under the tent, the updated barn, the privacy of the wedding space and the parking were things that make me want to recommend this venue to everyone I know. The atmosphere is fun with yard games, a fire pit, a selection of beers, wine and cocktails on draft it had everything we were looking for. The day of staff was AMAZING. Our bartender Morgan was phenomenal and we had so much fun with her. Working with Alexia as our day of coordinator was also wonderful, she facilitated our rehearsal, and executed setting everything the day of flawlessly. However, communication during the planning process at times was a nightmare. I had to reach out more than once to schedule an initial tour, and then once we decided to move forward with a date we had a hold on - I didn't hear back from them for over a week. Often times e-mails would go unanswered and require multiple follow-ups on our end, and we had an unfortunate experience of one of the staff not showing up to a scheduled meeting at the venue and after being told/waiting for over 30 minutes that she would "be right down" we were informed that she actually wasn't even on site. The lack of clear communication and professionalism added a lot of stress during the planning process which is unfortunate as the venue itself is so much fun!
I don’t have to explain how beautiful THC is, it’s truly breath taking. All of my guests were blown away how beautiful it was. The planning process was nice and easy. And the day was PERFECTION thanks to their amazing staff. I would highly reco...
mmend any couple to get married here!
THC has always been really special to me - when I used to live in Connecticut, it was my favorite place to go have a drink with my best friend, so imagine my delight when my now-husband and I discovered we could get married there! From start to...
finish, Anna was absolutely incredible. She ran through all of our different options for days and packages, and gave us all the information in a straight forward way we loved - we never once felt like we were being upsold, but rather that she genuinely wanted to help us plan our perfect day. THC was incredibly safe, communicative, and responsive over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we would absolutely not have been able to plan our wedding anywhere else. Anything we needed, Anna and her team were right there to help, answering our million questions and going absolutely above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect day. We heard so much great feedback from our guests too! Plus, the grounds are so beautiful that you can use minimal decor and still have a breathtaking backdrop. I absolutely 100% recommend THC as a wedding venue to anyone who wants a beautiful outdoor wedding. Thank you Anna & team for helping us achieve the perfect day!
We had our wedding reception here this past weekend and we could not have been happier with the way things turned out. The venue itself is beautiful with the new renovations including the waterfall and the fire pit! There was so much space, whi...
ch helped us feel safer with COVID protocols. Anna was incredible to work with and made sure that everything went smoothly throughout the evening, checking on us on multiple occasions and taking charge on setting up and taking down all of our decorations. I didnt have to do a thing!! Anna was so helpful with ideas and coordinating with all of our vendors and I cannot thank her and the staff at THC enough for making our night feel perfect.
