Overall, The Hinterland was a beautiful venue and a great fit for our micro wedding of about 35 guests. The outdoor ceremony space was gorgeous, and I loved getting married under t...
he trees. The barn itself is charming, and the pricing is competitive for the area. Ashley, the bartender, was fantastic and did an amazing job throughout the evening.
Communication with Kristyn was generally good leading up to the wedding. She was responsive to emails whenever I had questions and even included a few extra items at no additional charge, which we truly appreciated.
Unfortunately, we did run into some issues on our wedding day. When my husband, his sister, and our day-of coordinator arrived that morning to set up, the barn had not been cleaned from the previous night's wedding. There were used cups, leftover food, and trash both inside the barn and on the lawn. The floors didn't appear to have been swept, and the bathrooms were dirty and missing supplies like paper towels. It was disappointing to have our family and coordinator spend part of our wedding morning cleaning instead of setting up.
To their credit, our coordinator was able to get in touch with Kristyn, and a cleanup crew came at the end of the night. We appreciated that they didn't charge us for the cleanup service. However, our reception was scheduled until 8:30 p.m., and the crew arrived shortly after 8:00 p.m., which made us feel like the evening was ending early and that we needed to start packing up before our celebration was actually over.
After the wedding, I reached out to the venue owner to share these concerns but never received a response, which was disappointing.
Overall, we had a beautiful wedding at a lovely venue. Just be aware that it is very much a DIY venue unless you purchase their setup, cleanup, or day-of coordination add-ons. I would also encourage the venue to improve quality control between back-to-back weddings to ensure the space is properly cleaned and ready for the next couple.
This is a bit late but last September I was getting married & ran into some issues with my venue. I reached out to Kristyn and she was ready to swoop in like actual super woman! Sh...
e gave me pricing, details and was helping me navigate the entire thing while my stress was at a max. She was amazing to work with and any bride that does will be lucky!
Where do I even begin?
When I first saw pictures of the barn, I thought it looked beautiful—so I reached out. Kristyn messaged me back right away! She was incredibly kind and genu...
inely excited about our wedding, which made me feel instantly at ease.
When my wife and I went to see the venue in person, we completely fell in love. It was the perfect spot for us to celebrate our wedding. Not only did we book the barn, but we also hired their wedding coordinator service.
As I explained my vision to Kristyn, I was a little nervous. We weren’t having a traditional wedding, and I was worried that maybe our vision wouldn’t come together the way I had hoped. But to my surprise, the team went above and beyond to make sure everything came to life just the way I imagined.
The day before the wedding, I met with Joey, our coordinator, to drop off all our decorations and walk through the setup. I was blown away—he already knew the entire plan. The fact that he understood exactly how I wanted everything to look (especially for a non-traditional wedding) gave me so much peace of mind. I felt such a huge sense of relief and was truly able to relax and enjoy the moment.
On the wedding day, I walked in and everything looked ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. Joey and Ashley greeted us so warmly and made sure my wife and I were completely taken care of.
We had eloped the year before and were planning to surprise our guests by revealing during the celebration that we were already married. We had a video prepared for the big moment, and Joey made sure everything went off without a hitch. It all ran so smoothly—it honestly felt magical!
Throughout the night, we got so many compliments from our guests about how kind and accommodating Joey and Ashley were. They made sure everyone had drinks, felt welcome, and were enjoying themselves. And one of my favorite details? Joey and Ashley remembered what my wife and I were drinking and kept our glasses refilled at our sweetheart table without us even having to ask. That kind of attention to detail is just amazing!
I would absolutely recommend this venue. It was professional, thoughtful, kind, and truly perfect in every way.
Five stars is simply not enough for this venue. Kristyn was so responsive to all our wedding questions leading up to our special day. Her team was amazing and Kristen our event coo...

she helped my sisters all realize their vision. I really cannot say enough good things about her. She was incredible coordinating all the small details and checked in with me not only during the planning process but throughout the entire event to make sure I didn’t need anything. The barn is absolutely gorgeous, decorated so tastefully and in a beautiful and pristine setting. I would have every single event here moving forward if I could. Highly highly recommend!! Parking is very easy and convenient too which made it great for the older women in my family!

n was so responsive and helpful, she provided coordination for the wedding and made any questions or worries I had fade away. She worked with all my vendors and created a seamless timeline that flowed perfectly through the night. I cannot recommend this venue enough. With all the hard work she is putting into this venue I can only imagine how beautiful it will become for the next wedding season…perfection. 🤍

ng gives off such a romantic and intimate vibe. The grounds, surrounded by trees and the CT Horseguard, provide a unique and beautiful setting for your ceremony. We were lucky enough to find this venue early to book an autumn wedding! We were able to make the barn and reception area our own and I was able to create my perfect wedding.
Kristyn was lovely to work with. She was quick to respond and helped make my wedding dreams a reality. The day of there were a few setbacks that Kristyn helped my vendors solve and when she saw the slightest bit of worry and stress on my face, she made sure I had everything I needed and reassured me all would be okay. Everything was better than okay and we had the most perfect wedding day.
I also have to mention, The Bar, which is the bar service through this venue, had quick, professional and talented bartenders. Our guests had a great time!
The Hinterland was the perfect venue for our rustic wedding. The grounds were beautiful for our outdoor ceremony too! Kristyn was responsive, helpful, and so genuine!
This is a lovely venue. Don’t be fooled by the simple exterior. The interior is charming and the setting is lovely. The owner was super helpful and accommodating to our needs.
