Our wedding day was so smooth! The staff was so on top of things, in such a discreet way, that a couple guests asked "where is the staff". Janet, the venue coordinator, was easy to work with and made me feel at ease the day of and the day before, when I was setting up. I might be biased but the food was some of the best wedding food ? I've ever had. The grounds are stunning and well taken care of, the suite for me and my bridesmaids to get ready was spacious, and the indoor-outdoor vibe of the cocktail hour to reception was perfect. the price of the site fee was reasonable, and they had a big range of meal options that helped with budgeting. highly highly highly recommend.

The mansion at bald hill was absolutely amazing! Our wedding was beautiful from beginning to end because of the venue and their amazing staff. Janet was so helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. The wait staff was so sweet and we even pulled them out on the dance floor with us. The bartenders were so much fun and kept the party going. The hotel is also lovely and the beds are so comfy so you should definitely stay the night.

Janet and the team had great service, the food was delicious, and the inn and staff were absolutely wonderful to interact with. The owner even sat with my grandmother and cousins for quite a while the day after the wedding at breakfast to chat. The outdoor ceremony space was perfect for our intimate ceremony, though they set up too many chairs for the number of guests we had, which looks a bit funny in photos and videos. We had discussed an outdoor bar for beer and wine for cocktail hour since we didn’t want anyone in the reception area until the reception began, but unfortunately, that bar was not set up and our guests spent cocktail hour in the ballroom rather than on the patio. This wasn’t a fatal blow to the event, but a mistake in the oversight. That said, we highly recommend this as a venue!

Our wedding at The Mansion at Bald Hill was beyond perfect. Working with Janet was easy and she was helpful throughout our entire wedding planning process. She made choosing The Mansion an easy choice. Most of the important information was laid out in advance, but Janet did a great job of answering our specific questions and ensuring we were able to include our personal touches. Day of our wedding, the venue staff did a great job and everyone was very professional.

My husband and I got married at The Mansion at Bald Hill on 9/22/23 and we are still getting compliments on the staff, venue, food, etc. Janet was extremely helpful from day one by giving us all the info we needed in order to budget our wedding accordingly. She was prompt with answering phone calls or emails and always made me feel at ease throughout the whole wedding planning process. It was comforting having her there the day of the wedding to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Our wedding went off without a hitch and I truly owe it to her!
The food was phenomenal! We weren’t able to do a proper tasting because of COVID so my husband and I ate dinner at the bed and breakfast on site and everything was delicious! We’ve decided to go back yearly for our anniversary to eat there which I think is another really sweet thing about this venue. You are able to set up the venue yourself the day before the wedding which is something my husband and I really enjoyed doing with our friends and family and it allows you to personalize everything the way you want. Overall, I highly recommend The Mansion at Bald Hill. I’m so glad this is the venue we chose for our special day and we look forward to returning next year for our anniversary!

The Mansion is incredible! To start off, the place is beautiful! We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our outdoor ceremony or reception banquet hall. With the natural beauty of the grounds and the design of the banquet hall, we didn’t feel like we needed to add much. The decorations that we brought for our wedding were minimal because of that and it made things very easy budget-wise and logistically since we did a lot of things ourselves.
Shout out to Janet, the manager of Mansion, who helped us with the logistics at the venue, so that our dream wedding plans came to fruition. From the planning process, to during the wedding itself, and even after the wedding. She was responsive all our emails, phone calls, and texts, and was helpful every step of the way.
We also received a pre wedding gift in the mail from Kendra and a free room at the bed and breakfast on our wedding night when we booked our wedding. And if you like historical homes, you’ll definitely appreciate the rooms at this bed and breakfast! The woodwork is original and the furniture and decorations make you feel like a Gilded Age magnate enjoying their summer home in the countryside. What is not historic are the bright, updated bathrooms in each room, which are a plus in my opinion.
Lastly, the dinner meals were amazing! The chef is great and our meals were perfectly cooked and seasoned. We didn’t have a lot of time to enjoy them(due to photos, dances, etc), but just know that your guests will definitely enjoy them.
We had such an amazing experience here, I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get married.

I couldn’t have chosen a better venue for my wedding. The staff was very accommodating. There was complimentary breakfast for anyone who stayed in one of their amazing gorgeous rooms. Janet was beyond helpful and amazing and made sure everything went smoothly on my wedding day. Also every day leading up to the wedding she was on top of every detail. I even had my rehearsal dinner at the restaurant on site and the food was amazing and staff was super accommodating. And it felt very intimate. My favorite thing about this venue is it’s private and everything is in walking distance. No one had to go far at all to get from the ceremony to the reception. I could go on and on about how amazing this venue is and it’s staff. Thank you Manion at Bald Hill. My new husband and I will be back for our anniversary.

The Mansion at Bald Hill was our first venue we toured and our only venue, it was just beautiful! It reminded us of being in Vermont. From the Mansion, to the ceremony site to the ballroom everything is just beautiful and affordable! The food was beyond amazing and the staff made sure that myself and my groom were fed and always checking in on us. Janet was a big help and also allowed me to go into the ballroom the night before to set up certain things my way. The only downfall I had was my flowers never got repurposed from the ceremony site to my sweetheart table. And my welcome sign was never brought to the ceremony site. They really need to hire another coordinator for the day of so it doesn’t all fall on Janet. Our guests are still calling us and our families asking how we found such a beautiful piece of property and how good the food was! I highly suggest this venue and we will definitely be back to stay at the mansion for our anniversaries to come!

Fantastic venue! Janet, their coordinator, was helpful, responsive, and very organized. She let us go in to decorate early on our wedding day. We had a very hot day so she allowed our guests to stay inside for the cocktail hour.
The staff were attentive and extremely friendly. I heard from many guests how the drinks were great and the food was delicious.
The grounds are absolutely beautiful - especially at night. There is a waterfall, fire pit, a fountain, garden, etc. Lots of variety for pictures and room to run around in for young guests.
Thank you and highly recommend!

My husband and I are actually covid bride and groom and switched our venue to the Mansion at Bald hill about 8 months before our wedding! We were so happy that we made the change. The whole place is so beautiful, especially the new ceremony garden. The outdoor cocktail hour with the waterfall is so pretty as well! We also loved being able to stay right in the Mansion and get ready right on site the day of! It couldn't have been more perfect. Janet was always very responsive to all our emails. We showed up to the venue the day of the rehearsal at a time discussed with Janet and she was no where to be found. Luckily one of the side doors was open so we were able to get in and start setting everything up. One of the only things I was a little upset with was our napkins. We had rented napkins from a vendor and wanted them folded into a specific pocket fold. We had the napkins delivered two days prior to the event. I had sent a picture and was told that they would be able to do the fold we wanted. When we showed up, the napkin were just folded into a square on top of the charger plates. We were super upset! Luckily, I have the most amazing Mom and she went around and did a pocket fold to all 140 napkins. She had to do this on the day of the Rehearsal AND finish the day of the wedding. This was one of our only complaints as we made it very clear how we wanted the napkins. We even offered to pick the napkins up on Wednesday when they were delivered so we could do the pocket folds at home if they couldn't do it. But we were told they could! Other then that, the venue and everything was amazing! We also had our rehearsal dinner at the Inn and were very impressed! The food for BOTH events were very good. Although I was a little upset when my husband and I never got any food or drinks after the ceremony. The wait staff DID bring food / drinks to our bridal party but my husband and I were on a different spot on the property taking a few pictures. We never got any of the passed appetizers which I was very upset with. I feel like they should have realized that the BRIDE and GROOM weren't there when they brought the food over. But overall, we had a very good experience here and would highly recommend.

Our experience was mostly positive - we ended up having a couple of small, but very frustrating hiccups the day before/day of the wedding... though overall, we were extremely happy with the Mansion at Bald Hill as our venue. The food was very good and the venue is beautiful. We would have loved to use the outdoor space, but it was too chilly and windy - the ease with which everything could be adapted in response to the weather, however, was part of the beauty of doing our wedding there. They're very flexible and accommodated all of our needs/requests.

What can I say about Janet and her team at The Mansion!? Janet was always one email or phone call away, answered all of my questions and always gracious and kind. You can see/feel the excitement she has for you. Don't look anywhere else book this place, its beautiful outdoor garden space and then inside the hall where you have these beautiful wooden beams to eat and dance the night away. The day of our wedding Janet was there to help out in any way. Her staff were kind and had food out in a blink of an eye, passing appetizers and drinks. I wish I could do it all over again. Thank you so much for making our night (and planning) so magical.

I couldn’t have asked for better staff and venue to make my husband’s and my special day more fun, beautiful, and memorable. Janet, then venue’s General Manager, is incredible. She has a calming presence, is extremely organized, skilled at problem solving last minute curve balls with grace, and was an absolute pleasure to work with.
The staff were not only professional they were a joy to be around creating a fun loving atmosphere for our guests to feel comfortable to be themselves, get on the dance floor, and have a great time reuniting with family, old friends and making new ones. I highly recommend this venue as well as to hire their recommended DJ Tim Daley. He was reassuring and great to work with right from the start. He is familiar with the venue and it is very clear he knows exactly what he is doing to make it a great night for everyone.
The venue’s food was also amazing. Several of our guests shared compliments about the dinner and how good it was. We also had a handful of people with allergies and the kitchen was great at making us feel safe to enjoy a delicious meal. Rain or shine we couldn’t have asked for a better day!

If you are an anxious bride who wants their day to be perfect, I highly suggest going with The Mansion at Bald Hill - their Event Manager, Janet was an absolute dream to work with! Her punctuality in email and phone responses, attention to detail throughout the planning experience, and passion for the wedding space was incredible. Having her manage the wedding on the day of let me sit back and enjoy the day with my loved ones. We loved that the venue provides so much flexibility for a ceremony either indoor or out, beautiful grounds to take photos, and a patio space for guests to enjoy the fresh air. We could not have had a better experience and would recommend this venue to anyone!

My wedding was at this venue on July 17th. I had very high hopes for The Mansion at Bald Hill since the first time I saw how beautiful it was in person! Not only did our wedding go so smoothly, it absolutely exceeded my expectations. Janet was there helping and facilitating every second of the way - with the littlest of jobs to ones more involved! I could not thank her and her staff enough for the hard work and professionalism they put in for our rehearsal dinner and wedding the next day. The food The Mansion cooked and provided was delicious both nights. Everything went seamlessly from our point of view, even with the crazy rain shower and changing our ceremony spot last minute. Our wedding guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the entire night. The Mansion has a list of preferred vendors who were also super easy to work with and I would highly recommend as well. My husband and I would recommend The Mansion for any event!

Our Wedding Day was perfect thanks to, The Mansion at Bald Hill! The gardens for our ceremony were stunning, the food was delicious and the staff was exceptional. Our wedding was postponed last year due to covid. The Mansion was so accommodating and understanding during an uneasy time of a Pandemic and planning our wedding at the same time. I highly recommend this beautiful venue for your wedding, or any other event!

The Mansion at Bald Hill exceeded our expectations, hopes and dreams for our special day. We really can’t say enough great things about Janet and her team here. Janet is quick to respond with any questions or concerns and in meeting her on multiple occasions she has always been such a genuine person. The rest of her staff was also very friendly and accommodating.
The venue is absolutely beautiful from the perfectly kept garden and patio area where our guests enjoyed cocktail hour and to the gorgeous beams in the reception hall where everything was super clean and very well organized.
The food and drinks were delicious from the variety of apps to our buffet dinner. We received many compliments from our guests after the wedding with how much they enjoyed everything. Also to mention, how well the bartenders handled the constant flow of people, continued to make great drinks and never kept a long line of people waiting. Also, we highly recommend to use Erin from Chocolate Rose Bakeshop who was recommended/works with the Mansion if you are planning to do a cake or really any desserts as she made I think the most delicious cake I’ve ever had and also made our favors - large chocolate chip cookies.
We would give our experience 10/10 a hundred times over and truly recommend using this venue to anyone on their search for planning their special day.
Thanks a million to Janet and her team!

Planning: Janet was very responsive to my frequent emails and was incredibly flexible when we had to postpone our wedding due to covid-19.
Cost: Extremely reasonable food/beverage cost - our guests are still raving about the hors d'oeuvres and entrees (I didn't get to eat much, but it looked amazing!) Site cost included use of ceremony site and bridal suite for getting ready. Oh, and breakfast (the breakfast is delectable). We loved that there was no guest minimum.
Site: Gorgeous grounds. Beautiful English garden for ceremony, fountains and fire pit at night. Very quiet and private! So glad that there's only one wedding per day - we felt very well taken care of.
Overall: From the start, we knew that we would get married at the Mansion at Bald Hill. It's a beautiful location with superb service and value. We highly recommend!

Yesterday, my fiance and I and our mothers drove an hour and a half to come tour this venue. Upon our arrival, it looked like it was about to rain, so we were eager to tour the grounds first. However, no one was there to greet us. We waited for about 30 minutes and called TWICE before the sales representative came. She was not welcoming nor did she apologize for making us wait.
Because we had waited for a half an hour, the rain had now started and my fiance was walking back from grabbing an umbrella from the car. Instead of waiting for him with us and getting to know us, the sales representative ran back inside and said to meet her in there. When we walked in, she was nowhere to be found. A member of the waitstaff saw our confusion and lead us to a conference room. In the conference room, there was an open laptop and someone's deposit check on the table for thousands of dollars. It was shocking to see the lack of concern for keeping clients' sensitive information secure and confidential.
When the sales representative finally joined us in the conference room, we made it clear that we wanted to go tour the grounds before the rain got worse. Instead, she proceeded to walk us through the reception hall which was extremely noisy because the waitstaff was breaking down an earlier function and dragging tables across the floor. It was very difficult to hear what she was saying, so she brought us back into the conference room. She gave us informational pamphlets with outdated pricing and quickly read off every page with absolutely no enthusiasm. At this point, it was down-pouring outside and the sales representative looked out the window and said, "Oh, it's raining." My fiance reiterated the fact that this is why we wanted to quickly tour the grounds first.
So what does the sales representative do? She leads us to the patio door and says, "You guys can go ahead and see the grounds. I'll keep the door propped open and you can meet me back inside when you're done." She went back inside and we went straight to the parking lot and left.
I cannot believe the level of unprofessionalism we dealt with and the total disappointment that we experienced. The Mansion at Bald Hill needs a new sales representative because that is NOT how you sell a venue to prospective clients. We wanted a TOUR of the grounds. We had never been there before. I had no idea where the outdoor ceremony could be held, where the outdoor "aisle" would be, where guests would sit outside, etc. What sort of sales representative tells you to go off by yourself and look around a place you've never been? She didn't even bother to show us the mansion.
Additionally, when I asked about a bridal suite, she told me "a room in the mansion would be set aside as a bridal suite on the day of the wedding, depending on availability." What in the world does that even mean? Do you reserve a room for the bride on the date of her wedding or not? My mother also asked whether the six rooms in the mansion would be available for our guests. The sale representative's response was that we would need to check the availability on the website. I'd be spending tens of thousands of dollars on a wedding and they cannot guarantee that my out-of-state guests would have rooms available? That's absurd.
And one last note...before even providing the site fee or menu pricing, she told us that there's a charge of $3/per person for linens. Seriously?

We had an absolutely beautiful wedding at The Bald Hill Mansion! We changed out venue to The Bald Hill Mansion last minute due to Covid-19 restrictions put in place in Boston where we were initially having our wedding. Within one week, I was able to plan a beautiful wedding. Janet, the wedding coordinator was so helpful and she was a huge part of making our day unforgettable. The pricing was also very moderate to inexpensive in comparison to other venues. The food was phenomenal - almost everyone at our wedding has mentioned just how delicious the food was! Janet had great suggestions about hair/makeup, florists and more. I would highly recommend this venue. The one thing I would recommend is some external decorations. We had a close fiend who is so talented at wedding design that set up beautiful decorations for our ceremony and reception.
Finally the cake was included in the price and I could rave enough about the cake! It was absolutely delicious - because of the rush I was not able to do a tasting yet the cake was one of the best surprises that day!
10/10 would highly recommend.

Where do I begin? The Mansion at Bald Hill gave us the most perfect wedding I could have ever asked for! This year has been crazy and unpredictable with the looming pandemic, but Janet and her staff constantly went above and beyond to give us our perfect day. Especially these last couple of months when COVID was getting worse Janet was there to walk us through our options and how we could make this day special no matter what. The night before the wedding the venue looked beautiful, like a Christmas Hallmark movie! The venue is absolutely beautiful and so is the restaurant where we also had our rehearsal dinner. Our guests kept giving us compliments on how beautiful our venue was, how delicious the food was, and how great the bar was! The bartenders definitely knew their drinks! We loved this place and so happy we chose it. Janet went above and beyond and we highly recommend this venue to anyone!!!

We couldn’t have had a more smooth, fun and beautiful reception at the Mansion. As we planned our wedding through the pandemic, Janet was nothing but helpful and reassuring. Although we had to cut our guest list and couldn’t dance inside, they were very accommodating. We had a tent and bar outside. The outside amenities were extremely helpful during this time with the fire pit and fireplace. We heard nothing, but amazing compliments from our guests over the food and atmosphere. The staff were polite and approachable. We are so pleased we chose this beautiful venue and would love to relive our day again!

The Mansion at Bald Hill hosted our daughter's wedding reception recently. We cannot say enough about the experience we had there! The food was delicious, and it was served by a professional, polite wait staff. The ambiance was amazing. The cocktail hour was outside on the patio. The guests loved the fire pit! The dining room was beautiful and comfortable, accommodating our 86 guests, no more than 6 per table, which were 6 feet apart. Dancing was outside in a tent with a 6 piece band. Two weeks before the wedding, we never thought our daughter's and son-in-law's special day could look like this. Their wedding reception was originally planned at a venue in MA, but the Covid guidelines changed on 8/11, reducing outdoor gatherings in MA to 50 people, from 100 people. We had already reduced the size of the wedding from 200 to 100, back in July when the guidelines were changed initially. The church was in Worcester, MA, so we were able to travel to this venue in CT, where the guidelines allowed us to have close to the 100 we had planned for. We would have had to cancel the wedding if we had to keep it to 50, because our family is larger than 50, and we could not leave out family. Janet came to our rescue, after I reached out to her on August 11. She made this magical day happen in 10 days, as if she had a year in advance to plan it! She is amazing-so easy to work with, so professional and efficient and couldn't do enough for us to make it the wedding they always dreamed of! This venue is a gem!

My Husband and I had our wedding at The Mansion at Bald Hill on July 28, 2019. It was my first pick, and I knew the second we walked around the place and spoke to Janet the wedding coordinator that this was perfect for us. The pricing was more then reasonable for all that was included in the package. It was an absolutely amazing experience, and our friends and family have been talking about it every since. We have had many compliments that it reminds them of a Hallmark movie wedding scene! Everything went very smoothly from the early stages of the day when we were getting ready in the bridal suite, ( Mrs Bowens Room, which was spacious enough to accommodate my 4 makeup/hair stylists, 5 bridesmaids and both moms!) to the arrival of guests, the gorgeous ceremony outside, picture perfect photography with the blooming flowers and manicured landscaping all around, and of course the reception at the newly built banquet center. We had gone to dinner a few times at the restaurant that is on the first floor of the mansion, and everything we had was simply a 5 star rating. We didn’t even find the need to do a separate tasting. We had no doubt the food selections at the reception would be the same, and our expectations were exceeded! We even had the rehearsal dinner there! Janet walked us through every step of the way and was always available to go over details or meet with us when we had questions. She was there for the rehearsal dinner, and for the entire wedding day until the very end, seeing to it that all the events transitioned perfectly. She definitely has a gift for wedding coordinating, and kept everyone cool, calm and collected before the big event. The staff was also extremely polite and respectful. I tell everyone I can about this wonderful experience, and can’t go on enough about it! It definitely made for the most memorable and beautiful day of our lives.

We had our wedding at the Mansion at Bald Hill on 9/6/19. Every part of our special day was nothing short but amazing. From day one, Janet was beyond responsive and helpful in making all of my dreams/ visions come to life. On the day of our wedding the grounds were beyond pristine, the service was attentive and Janet made sure everything was taken care of before I could even think about what needed to be done next. We have been told by countless of our guests that our wedding was the most enjoyable and beautiful wedding that they had ever been too. This couldn’t have been possible without the Mansion at Bald Hill! I more than highly recommend this venue for all future brides!

Site was gorgeous to hold ceremony at and the reception hall was beautiful as well! The grounds have wonderful features, like a fire pit, fireplace and waterfall. Food was served promptly and there was no awkward length of time where some tables got food and others did not. All my guests complimented how beautiful everything was and said that the food was delicious, too. I would definitely do it all over again at this location if I could!

This establishment was all that I could have hoped, dreamed of and more! The ceremony was held in the garden, which was stunning and perfect. The reception was held in the hall which was elegant and modern and clean. Janet, the contact, went above and beyond. I could not recommend this establishment and team more. Pricing was also very reasonable which was huge for me.

We had a fantastic experience with Janet and "The Mansion at Bald Hill". From Day 1, Janet was responsive and willing to work around our busy work schedules in order to meet with us. She was available, but not pushy or overbearing at all. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect before and during the event--appetizers and drinks were brought to the wedding party in the garden during photos, and she even helped my bridesmaids with my bustle (just as two examples). Thank you so much Janet!
Overall--the facility is beautiful (both the grounds and inside), with neutral colors that will match any decor. The outside patio is perfect for cocktail hour--luckily the weather was great so we were able to utilize that area. The food was fantastic, and at what I thought was a very reasonable price.

Such an amazing venue! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and it’s so nice to be able to get ready on site, have the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The food is delicious and all the staff was so accommodating and helpful for our big day. Janet was very easy to communicate with and responded back in a timely manner with whatever questions came forth. Wish I could do it again!

I loved my wedding at the Mansion! They answered all of my questions promptly and worked with me when I had last minute changes with seating and questions with the menu. The staff was amazing and brought out drinks and appetizers while we were doing pictures and helped my mother pick up our decorations at the end. I appreciated that they had a lot of amenities included in their price which made my choices easy and seamless.

My husband and I could not have asked for a better wedding day! Not only is the venue beautiful but Janet was truly amazing. Very responsive and professional. She answered any and all questions and made us feel ready for the big day! On the wedding day the food was amazing and everyone was very professional. Everything was perfect! It was also so convenient to have the rehearsal dinner right next door and to be able to get ready in the beautiful Mrs. Bowen’s room. If you’re looking for a venue this is it!!

If you are looking for a quaint, modern yet rustic New England venue, this is your place. My husband and I had were originally looking for a barn or winery for our October wedding but quickly realized it was out of our budget. When we arrived on the grounds of the Mansion, we knew this was our place. The garden was perfect for our ceremony and the reception hall was just the right amount of rustic we were looking for. Janet and her staff were amazing, letting us bring our own decor to create our perfect day. Our guests, loved the ambience and the food. We would highly recommend having your wedding at the Mansion!

The venue is beautiful and the food was great! Unfortunately there were multiple problems in the planning stages and at the reception.. definitely could have used more professionalism and proactive involvement from the event coordinator. Not the best experience.

The Mansion at Bald Hill was the venue of choice for my daughter and son in-law's wedding ceremony and reception on 7/8/2017. Words cannot adequately describe how spectacular this place is. Janet is a wonderful event coordinator, she and the staff went above and beyond to make our event one of the most memorable occasions of our lifetime. The attention to detail from beginning to end was impeccable. The banquet facility, beautifully landscaped grounds and ceremony site, and the delectable gourmet meals were absolutely amazing! Everyone was overjoyed with their experience. The compliments we received regarding the wedding were overwhelming. As one guest stated “it was truly magical”. We are from Rhode Island as were most of our guests. We were asked numerous times how we found this place. Thankfully, we found the Mansion at Bald Hill in Woodstock, Ct through the internet. This place turned out to be the find of a lifetime. We look forward to continuing to celebrate special occasions at this venue. They also have a formal restaurant and elegant bed and breakfast, which we also have had the pleasure of experiencing. The Mansion at Bald Hill is definitly worth the trip!

I can not say enough about how much we enjoyed having our reception at the Mansion at Bald Hill. Janet was great to work with, she was very organized and helped us plan out every aspect of the reception from the napkin colors to the play-by-play timeline. She was very flexible during the planning process- meeting in person multiple times and answering questions via email. The quality of the food at the reception was as good as the plates in their restaurant. We got many compliments on the dinner, especially the prime rib. We also had a rehearsal dinner here the night before and our bridal party stayed at the mansion. Mrs Bowen's Room was a great location for getting ready photos.

The mansion was beautiful and set in an old world charm. The new reception hall is perfect for a modern wedding. The staff are wonderful and the food is the best! We plan to go back each anniversary.

If you are looking for a top notch quality staff, beautiful facilities and grounds, and mouthwatering, savory meals then the Mansion at Bald Hill in Woodstock, Connecticut is your place! My husband, Chris and I are truly impressed with the impeccable service we received during the planning process and throughout our Wedding Weekend! Janet Waterman is an excellent event planner, who graciously takes the time to meet with you and efficiently caters to every detail. Our special time was so carefree and relaxed, because we knew our Wedding was in great hands! We were even allowed to help with the arrangement of our Reception tables the night before the Wedding, which was a fun moment for us and allowed us to share some laughs with the Mansion Staff. The staff here truly cares about their customers and it is this genuine, heart-felt dedication , which makes the Mansion at Bald Hill rise above all of the rest!
