The Simsbury Inn was a beautiful atmosphere for a wedding. The outdoor venue was perfect and the inside ballroom was amazing. A number of guest stayed at the Inn and loved it. I would highly recommend the Simsbury Inn if you're planning a wedding or party.

Our experience at The Simsbury Inn was nothing short of exceptional. We chose this venue because of their extensive knowledge and experience with food allergies, and they exceeded every expectation by creating a completely Celiac-friendly, gluten-free wedding from start to finish. It was incredibly important to us, and they executed it so seamlessly that most of our guests had no idea the entire menu was gluten free.
The chef was phenomenal, delivering food that guests are still raving about—many said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. We were even able to have a beautiful three-tier cake that was both gluten- and nut-free, which was so meaningful to us. Knowing the team had prior experience with Celiac weddings gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy the day without worry.
From a planning perspective, Philip made everything effortless. He was consistently responsive, answered every question thoroughly, and ensured the entire day ran smoothly. He even checked in on us while we were getting ready in the Talcott Room, which we loved—especially since it adjoins the bridal suite and made getting ready so convenient.
The venue itself was spotless, elegant, and thoughtfully organized. We appreciated that pricing was transparent from the start, with no unexpected costs added along the way. We held our ceremony indoors, and the staff did an amazing job transitioning the space for the reception while setting up all of our décor perfectly. Cocktail hour in the Evergreen Room was spacious and comfortable, giving guests plenty of room to relax and socialize.
We also loved that we were the only wedding on site that day, which made the experience feel private and special. There were so many beautiful photo locations, and the convenience of having guests stay on-site in our room block meant no transportation logistics to worry about. The option for an after party was another great touch for those who wanted to keep celebrating.
Laurie, our banquet captain, was outstanding—constantly checking in and making sure everything was perfect. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day special. They even handled all cleanup and allowed us to pick up our items the next morning, which made everything so easy.
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The Simsbury Inn made our wedding day seamless, stress-free, and unforgettable.

l so simple and was always quick to answer questions, as well as offer guidance.
The venue itself was so pretty and created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Everything was set up perfectly. All the staff and everyone who helped make the day special were all so nice and helpful. A huge bonus was that many of the vendors we chose had worked with The Simsbury Inn before, which made the planning process so much easier. Everyone knew the space well, communicated seamlessly, and worked together effortlessly which helped the entire day run smoothly.
Our favorite part of choosing The Simsbury Inn for our venue is that they also offered lodging so people could spend the night if they wanted to. We had several guests stay overnight at the inn and the rooms were wonderful. They were very nice, clean, and comfortable, which made it so convenient and enjoyable for everyone to relax and stay on-site after the celebration. Many of our guests commented on how much they loved the rooms and appreciated being able to spend the night. The bridal suite was also absolutely wonderful and such a perfect space to get ready in. I loved that there was also the Talcott Suite attached where were able to get ready. It made things so convenient. The bridal suite was spacious and comfortable which helped make it a calm and relaxing environment during a busy day. It truly added to the overall experience and made the morning of the wedding feel extra special.
The next morning we also opted to have a breakfast for all the guests who spent the night and it was so lovely. It was the perfect way to wrap up the weekend and a great opportunity to spend more time with family and friends before heading home.
I loved that all the events for the weekend could all be in one place because it was a lot less stressful not having to go to a bunch of different places.
We felt so supported throughout the entire process and truly got to enjoy our wedding day with very little stress. We are so grateful to the team for helping make our day unforgettable and would highly recommend this venue to any couple planning their wedding or recommend The Simsbury Inn if you're just looking for somewhere to stay for a few nights.

ip and the entire team was an absolute pleasure—he was consistently responsive, organized, and thoughtful throughout the planning process.
The Simsbury Inn is the quintessential New England wedding venue, offering an intimate and charming atmosphere with a variety of beautiful spaces. We used the Talcott Room for hair and makeup, held our ceremony outdoors in a picturesque setting, hosted cocktail hour in the cozy Evergreens space, and celebrated in the elegant ballroom. Each area added its own unique touch to the day.
Their wedding package is incredibly comprehensive, including an open bar, a full cocktail hour with passed hors d'oeuvres, a seated dinner, champagne toast, a three-tiered wedding cake, and a complimentary suite for the bride and groom. It truly made planning seamless and stress-free.
Our guests haven’t stopped raving about the outstanding service, delicious food, and overall experience. Philip and his team were a dream to work with, and we are so grateful for the care and professionalism they brought to our celebration.
Highly recommend The Simsbury Inn to any couple looking for a warm, elegant, and well-run venue!

The wedding package included a lot so there was so much taken off our plate (cake, centerpieces etc.).
The food was delicious and many of our guests commented that it was one of the best weddings they have been to due to the amazing food, staff and hospitality.
The venue itself is beautiful. Our ceremony was outside under the pergola which was a perfect setting for an intimate gathering. The cocktail hour was in the atrium and patio, which was gorgeous. And the reception in the ballroom, there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and dance the night away.
I would recommend anyone who wants a perfect day, to get married at The Simsbury Inn.

n absolute dream to work with. She was incredibly communicative and made the whole process so smooth, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. The fact that the venue is all-inclusive, offering cake, catering, and more, made planning so much easier for us. They also have great spaces for getting ready before the wedding to make it easy if you have a big bridal party for hair and makeup. One of the highlights was being able to have our guests stay the night and continue the celebration with an after-party at their bar. It was the perfect way to wind down after such an amazing day. We would highly recommend the Inn!

You can tell she really cares about the couples she works with. We also got so many great comments on the food from our guests.
The Simsbury Inn really checked all the boxes because we could get ready there, the event spaces were beautiful, and our out of town guests could stay on site! Also the wedding cake was part of the package… and it was SO DELICIOUS! Get the carrot cake!
All in all, we had an amazing day!

We worked with Philip Vecchiarelli, who was super responsive, professional and simply a joy to work with. We had several food allergies/celiac in the bridal party and Philip worked with the chef to ensure the entire event was gluten-free. Not having to worry about food safety at our wedding was a God-sent and one we never thought we'd find. We can't speak highly enough about The Simsbury and Philip!

ace for an after party is desired, champagne and a card on the wedding night, and making everything smooth even though we didn’t get married with them. Our only feedback is the inclusion of photos of the rooms to help plan better when booking and setting up a room block, especially with the suites! We were surprised (perhaps by our own omission) to find only 1 bed in the 2 room suite. Everything else was great. Thanks!

The food at the Simsbury Inn is SUPERB. Every guest that came up to us said how phenomenal the food was. The chicken laurel is 10/10. Our cake from their bakery was moist and delicious. The appetizers were awesome, too!
Every server/employee at our wedding was so kind and helpful. Jeanine, Leighton, Laurie- Thank you for everything! Laurie was our captain and during cocktail hour I was getting my hair fixed in my room- Laurie came with cocktails and appetizers for me so I didn't miss out. All in all- a great venue, very organized, reasonably priced with amazing employees.

demic, we had to reschedule our wedding several times, but this venue stayed on top of everything the entire time. Patti worked within our budget and our visions to make our day special.
The Inn itself is a wonderful, quaint wedding location - all of our guests loved the feel of the Inn and the convenience of staying at the same location as the reception.
The food and cake were top-notch. Catering worked with me to accommodate several allergies and food sensitivities to make sure everyone was able to enjoy the food.
The day-off staff also made sure everything went incredibly smoothly - Lenox and Chantel were by our side throughout the night to make sure we were having a great time.
Overall, I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else!

Timeless, beautiful, organized, effortless, delicious food/CAKE & magical!!"
I truly had the most wonderful wedding weekend - My wedding day coordinator was Jeanine and let me tell...
you, she knows her wedding stuff!! She was so helpful and had such great expertise, advice, guidance, and enthusiasm for my wedding day. Jeanine assisted me with the timeline, where to take pictures, food/decor suggestions, answered ALL my questions, and so much more. She came to the bridal suite right before the ceremony to check in and say hello (that was so special), helped bustle my dress, and carried out the line-up/introductions to the reception.
The day/timeline went so smoothly & I was treated like a total princess because they had everything handled (I was total type A when it came to the organization - but I was able to relax and just enjoy my day). Shortly after my HUSBAND and I got back to Simsbury for pictures after our ceremony at St. Mary's Church, we were greeted by Lori & another waitstaff (Chelsea? - sorry I suck at names!!) with champagne and horderves who waited on us the whole time. Following us around helping with my dress, serving us much needed food/drink, assisting the videographer/photographer and just positive/fun attitudes! I didn't expect this at all, such a bonus! All my vendors communicated effectively with the Simsbury staff and worked together nicely.
I believe we ended up having around 150-155 (invited about 185)people actually attend and there was plenty of room and guests felt comfortable. It is such a beautiful venue, I can't say enough about that, beautiful spacious Talcott Room for getting ready and the bridal suite, Evergreens Room for rehearsal dinner & cocktail hour, of course the Laurel Ballroom for the reception/brunch the next day. I believe the only small tiny issue we had was the security guard ending the party a bit too early - possibly due to a variety of factors including communication - regardless it didn't ruin the weekend.
The cake was gorgeous - and everyone raved about how delicious and unique it was (Guinness chocolate toffee cake), I'd highly recommend that one!! Overall, Simsbury has great packages that have a lot included to make wedding planning effortless, magical, and a great weekend for guests. We are all still talking about it & everyone raves about how much fun they had. Such a great time, a big thank you to Jeanine and the staff at the Simsbury Inn!!

From the appetizers, dinner and the wedding cake, the food was delicious. Our guests commented on how wonderful the food tasted and how attentive the staff were to every need. Many of our guests also used the Inn to stay overnight and we hosted a brunch the next morning. If you are looking for an elegant, classy venue for any event, I highly recommend the Simsbury Inn. Thank you to Patti and her staff for making our special day so memorable and stress free!

We had our wedding here on October 18, 2019, and honestly, it was perfect. From the day we booked the venue through getting ready the day of, Patti was there every step of the way....
Firstly, the venue is perfect if your are looking for quaint New England charm. We had 35 guests from Ireland (in addition to the 100 Americans) and they kept remarking on how beautiful the rooms were and just the overall Inn. Also, the location of historic Simsbury (especially during peak foliage season) is just beautiful.
Secondly, Patti is on point with every detail. She is responsive, attentive and experienced. I must have sent her 75 e-mails over the course of wedding planning and she always responded immediately, addressing my questions and providing options or suggestions (if asked). They day of the wedding literally went perfect. From the happy hour, to the reception and food, to the after-party, everything looked beautiful, tasted delicious and flowed smoothly. I can't thank Patti and her team enough for pulling off such a grand affair and helping make it a night to remember. Highly recommend The Simsbury Inn and their team.

process and she was amazing. She would always get back to my emails quickly and she did an amazing job coordinating everything for our perfect day. We were married outside on the grounds, had our cocktail hour in their Evergreens restaurant, and the reception in their main ballroom. I used their complementary center pieces for the cocktail hour and then brought in my own centerpieces and decorations for the reception. Jeanine and her team decorated everything for me and made sure everything was beautiful and perfect. My guests have continued to tell me how beautiful the wedding was and how wonderful the food was. The Simsbury Inn has a wonderful selection of entrees and Hors d'oeuvre to choose from and also provided a beautiful wedding cake. I loved that everything was done in their one location, and they only do one wedding a day so everything is dedicated to you that day. Their rooms for the guests and the bridal suite are comfortable and very nice. The entire night of the wedding, my husband and I had an attendant dedicated to us, her name was Laurie, and she was very attentive and wonderful the entire time. There isn't enough good things that I can say or mention about the Simsbury Inn. I loved my wedding and it was truly a special day. I am so grateful to Jeanine and their entire staff for making our day so perfect!

Flash forward to our wedding day. Our "captain" for the night was Laurie; she was so sweet, super attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly! She even decorated our suite for us at the end of the night! She truly went above and beyond to make our night one we will never forget!
The ballroom itself was set-up perfectly and the food was incredible, we received multiple compliments from our guests!
Over all, the PERFECT venue for our reception! I HIGHLY recommend The Simsbury Inn to anyone looking for a classy yet quaint venue!

I would highly recommend to any couples looking for a reception venue in CT to check out the Simsbury Inn. Their top package was by far the most inclusive that we looked at and one...
of the most reasonably priced. The property is a quaint, New England inn that has everything you could possibly need to stage a beautiful wedding.
Our wedding coordinator was Jeanine Mossey. She is very, very good at her job - organized and direct. She helped keep the day on track and our wedding party in line. Lori, our captain at dinner, was so kind and helpful. The entire staff all around was very accommodating.
I'd give them 5+ stars if I could.

Words cannot begin to describe how happy we are that we chose to have our wedding at The Simsbury Inn. From the moment we visited and toured to leaving the day after our wedding, e...
verything was phenomenal. We used Simsbury Inn as our hotel for both the night before and the night of the wedding because we had many guests from out of state, had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and after party there, while also getting ready there during the day of the wedding. We literally showed up on Friday and did not have to leave or go anywhere else until Sunday afternoon! Every single thing: the rooms, the rehearsal dinner, getting ready, the ceremony, cocktail hour, the reception, the after party, was PERFECT, flawless, seamless. We owe so much to Patti Candels, Director of Catering, for making this happen, as well as ALL of the incredible staff that work there. Patti worked very closely with us from day one to make our dream wedding a reality, and not a single detail was missed. She was there both Friday and Saturday to make sure everything ran smoothly, along with a maitre’d on Saturday to ensure we were VERY well taken care of. This venue is gorgeous, affordable, and includes so much which makes the planning process very easy. You will not have to worry about a thing. We decided to use the rose centerpieces the venue provides and they were absolutely beautiful. The food, both at cocktail hour and dinner, was amazing. Our cake was not only the BEST cake I have ever had, but it was also gorgeous. Fabulous service. Beautiful grounds and building. I could go on and on about every single detail and how amazing it all was, but I will make it simple: stop your searching and book The Simsbury Inn. You will have the wedding of your dreams. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making ours come true!

The food was incredible - our guests are still talking about it. The Inn is quiet, but not sleepy. It's close to Hartford and Bradley but definitely feels like the country. Everything was super well-organized. I'm very Type-A, and I didn't have to worry about anything. The best part was being able to have all our guests stay on site; it felt like a resort vacation. No need for buses to take people from reception to hotel. We found the prices to be very reasonable and an incredible value for what you get. Highly recommend!!

Words are inadequate to express how absolutely AMAZING the Simsbury Inn was as a wedding venue. From the very beginning, Patti had a handle on absolutely everything, including our ...
random changes to the reception start time and last-minute guest list additions. The second we pulled up and I stepped out of the limo, I was greeted by Laurie, our wedding wizard, who took our drink orders and handled every last detail throughout the night. My husband was in shock that his jacket, which he ditched halfway through the dancing, made it back to our room - but Laurie took care of it! The food was outstanding, the cake got rave reviews, and Patti and her team decorated everything flawlessly. We loved the indoor/outdoor areas and the fact that we had an easy place for our out of town guests to stay. We loved that we could retire to the patio after the wedding for a nightcap with our family and friends. We loved the wedding cake that was left for us in our room, because we missed it at the reception. We loved the centerpieces the Inn provided, checking one big item off our list. It has made us smile to hear that our guests had such a good time. We loved celebrating our wedding here, and I would seriously recommend that all future couples stop looking - this is it!

My husband and I were married on June 25, 2016 at The Riverview in Simsbury, CT. The Simsbury Inn was the location for our after party and made for a memorable night! Our wedding g...
uests stayed at the inn so when they were ready to call it a night they were just a short walk from their room. We stayed in the bridal suite and it was absolutely beautiful. They even had chocolate covered strawberries and champagne in the room for us after the wedding. The location is gorgeous and the staff is incredible. We worked with Jeanine Mossey to plan our evening and to help block rooms and book a shuttle for our guests. She was incredibly easy to work with and very responsive and helpful. Everyone had an amazing time and loved brunch the following day. It made for a great location for our wedding guests to gather before and after the wedding.

Hi Brides!!! I want to share with all of you how truly wonderful the Simsbury Inn is. To start my wedding is at the Simsbury Inn in a month and a half. My fiance and I fell in love...
with the Inn the minute we pulled in the driveway. It has a magical feel about it. The Inn has a classical elegance like no other place I have ever been and it is warm and an inviting atmosphere. The Inn is beautiful and truly perfect, there arent enough words to describe it. The food and staff are the best and care so much about you and your big day. I have been working with Jeanine and I absolutely adore her. She has the best personality and truly loves what she does. She cares so much about all of her brides and will do anything to make sure their day is amazing. She will always have your back and because of her you know that everything will be perfect and you wont have to worry or stress. She is an amazing person!! I promise you that you will never regret your choice with the Simsbury Inn as your wedding venue. I can't wait for my big day and everytime over the last 2 years I have pulled in the driveway I always feel that magical feeling in the air. I intend to go back after our wedding for weekend getaways just because I love it there so much!!

The Simsbury Inn was nothing short of amazing. From the very first meeting, Jeanine was on top of every single detail. The venue itself is a stunning property which has a beautiful...
New England feel. The rooms are beautiful along with a very friendly staff. Coordinating the wedding from Michigan could have been a challenge, but Jeanine was there to answer every call and email promptly and was able to work our needs into our very few trips home prior to the wedding.We had our cocktail hour at the Evergreens Restaurant and it was just beautiful. Not to mention the food was absolutely delicious. And the cake! The baker was in house there and our cake was not only stunning and exactly what we asked for, it was delicious!!
Everything about our wedding at The Simsbury Inn was flawless. We did not have to worry about a single thing. They even provide staff to tend to the bride and groom the night of which was wonderful. They moved all our gifts, cards, leftover food (plus desserts and after wedding snacks) to our room and we didn't have to think about a thing!
The ballroom was recently renovated and it is beautiful. So elegant and charming. Beautiful floor length linens, tablecloths and napkins are provided along with rose centerpieces if you do not have your own. We had a florist do our centerpieces so Jeanine incorporated the included rose centerpieces into the cocktail room. I do not have a single bad thing to say. Everything about our wedding day was perfect and I owe it all to Jeanine and the Simsbury Inn. Thank you!!!

I had the pleasure of getting married at the Simsbury Inn a couple of weeks ago...They made my fantasy wedding come to life.
For the past year their event coordinator, Patti Cand...
els, worked with me via email, phone calls and in person to answer all my questions, listen to all my requests and give me advice when I was unsure about certain details.
My wedding went so smoothly, from the ceremony on the front lawn, to cocktail hour, to the amazing reception in the ballroom and even the after party in the bar.
All our guests raved about how good their meals were and the pastry chef made the most delicious (and BEAUTIFUL!) cake. The entire staff was so accommodating and friendly and the venue itself is just exquisite.
I can't say enough about what a wonderful experience my wedding was...if you're looking for a venue with New England charm, where all your guests can stay in one place please do yourself a favor and get married at the Simsbury Inn.

d the staff helpful, friendly, professional, and easy to work with.
We worked with both Jeanine and Patty, the event coordinators, and both were great. They were available and helpful and had great suggestions. Planning was easy and set up as well. We also rented evergreens restaurant for our cocktail hour prior to entering the ballroom. It was lovely. The Simsbury inn provided the centerpieces, though we chose to use them for the cocktail hour in the Evergreens and had our own florist do the ballroom (Amy Tyler, who works with the Inn often and was awesome). The Inn-provided centerpieces were perfect! Our cake was also provided by the Inn and I am still getting compliments on just how tasty the cake was - guests have even asked to contact the Inn so that they might order one for themselves!
The Inn and staff took excellent care of my groom and I - we didn't get to eat much during dinner since we were greeting our guests. Our staff Captain, Marie, made sure Mike and I were brought drinks and appetizers and that our dinner was waiting in our room after we'd missed the dinner hour. As a surprise, also waiting in our room was a bottle champagne, extra large slices of cake, little deserts, chocolate dipped strawberries, and sandwiches - we could not have felt more looked after! It was just wonderful.
After our wedding, the bar at the Inn stayed open until 1am for those guests who wished to stay up and purchase drinks and the Inn set us up with local food delivery - we ordered a few pizzas for the after party and enjoyed a beautiful night on the Inn's front patio.
All in all it was perfect - elegant and lovely but comfortable for everyone. I highly recommend the Inn - they are good at what they do!

ail is left to chance at the Inn.. they are professional and reliable .Everyone is still telling us how much fun they had and how great the food was. We opted to keep the bar extended which was a great idea and we recommend it. We ordered pizzas to the bar at the Inn after the reception was over to have an "after party".. another recommendation. The rooms are gorgeous especially the bridal suite!!! The captain took such great care of us all night...A++ love, love, love !!!!

We had our wedding at The Simsbury Inn two weeks ago and it was absolutely perfect! I had the wedding of my dreams and I can not thank everyone at the Inn enough for all they did....
Patti was unbelievably helpful, flexible, and calm throughout the entire planning process. The Inn looked absolutely beautiful and the staff was so wonderful and professional! The food was phenomenal and our guests are still talking about how great it was! When the bridal party was outside taking photos, staff even came outside to see if we needed anything. After the reception, we came back to our room and there were sandwiches in our refrigerator and champagne chilling in an ice bucket, a wonderful surprise after a dance-filled evening! Most of our guests stayed at the Inn overnight and we had a breakfast the following morning in a private room. Everyone keeps telling us it was the best wedding they have ever been to! We can't wait to go back next year for our anniversary!!
Thank you Patti for all you did, you are amazing!!!

en the hotel and the venue, even though it was within walking distance. My guests all enjoyed their stay at the Inn. The Inn was a great mix of quaint enough to feel homey and fancy enough to feel like a vacation. Their dining arrangements was a sit down dining as well as a buffet style in a lounge type of area. It was the perfect blend of casual if you wanted it or fancy if you preferred. My guests loved the food as well. The Inn also allowed my parents to visit with our family members even though they weren't staying at the Inn, which my parents appreciated since our family came from all over the country. The Inn is in a great location, just minutes from downtown Simsbury. My husband and I even stayed at the Inn for our wedding night, an experience we both enjoyed. The Inn also allowed us to bring in welcome bags for them to distribute to our guests.
We did have one issue with our shuttles not getting booked properly. However, the Inn went out of their way to correct the issue allowing us to have shuttles for our guests.
The Simsbury Inn is highly recommended!

ished but also made everyone feel like home. The Simsbury Inn did just that. My bridal party and I got ready in their Talcott Room attached to the bridal suite which gave us the room and flexibility to move around and have a blast. The staff was on point as we transitioned from day to night and the festivities began. The Evergreen Room was perfect for our cocktail hour. The ballroom was gorgeous for the ceremony and reception (new wallpaper, paint and carpet!). The waitstaff was friendly and efficient. And I cannot leave out the most important person, Patti Candels, the wedding coordinator. She is absolutely amazing and was such a calming force the entire time. I highly recommend the Inn for any of your wedding needs... Even if that is all of them!

We were married at the Simsbury Inn on May 1st 2015. The wedding went off without a hitch, thanks to the Inn's wedding planner, Jeanine Mossey. She helped with every aspect of the ...
wedding, even recommending florists and nail salons. But best of all, Jeaninie and the Simsbury Inn were very accommodating. One example is my request for Hebrew National hotdogs for the pigs in blanket appetizers. I was told they don't have those, but Jeanine called and said the chef could get them. The Inn provided a bridal suite for us and they had a bottle of champagne on ice, 2 sandwiches and 2 slices of our wedding cake. In our fridge was assorted gourmet chocolates. We were told that next year before our anniversary, if we call, they'll make us our wedding cake to have for our first anniversary. Amazing attention to detail, with a very caring attitude. 2 words....Very Impressed....Thanks Jeanine!!

I just got married at the Simsbury Inn this past weekend and had the wedding of my dreams. I cannot say enough good things about The Simsbury Inn- from the service to the food to ...
the accommodations- everything throughout the planning process has been excellent and my wedding day was better than I could have ever imagined. The Inn itself is beyond adorable and even though I had 180 people at my wedding, the whole thing felt very intimate. I have the catering manager, Patti Candels to thank for making not only my wedding day, but the planning process easy and stress free. She was so helpful during the entire process and it was clear from the beginning that she knows her stuff! I'm very type A and wanted everything very planned out and she never made me feel like my questions were silly or annoying. Her responses were always prompt and she gave her honest opinion about everything which I truly appreciated. I am honestly going to miss working with her- that's how great she truly was! I don't think I could write enough great things about the Simsbury Inn, but all of my guests told me that it was the prettiest, most fun, and amazing wedding they've been to. The Inn accommodated everyone so no one had to leave the property afterwards which was very convenient. My bridal suite was in the King Philips Suite which was large enough for hair/makeup artists as well as a whole spread on the bar for breakfast. Our cocktail hour was in Evergreens which was beautiful and plenty spacious for 180 people. The food was delicious all around and all of the staff were truly amazing and helpful. I wish I could go back and do it all over again because everything went so perfectly. I can't wait to go back every year on our anniversary!

I had a great experience working with the Simsbury Inn for my ceremony and reception.
The package we chose was a great value - drinks, food and cake all included, with options ...
to add or remove courses that allowed us to keep within budget. It also included a free night in the bridal suite, which was so convenient, and the room was beautiful.
Our coordinator, Jeanine was really attentive, answering any questions that came up. She really let me be in control of the flow of communication, which was really helpful.
The venue is also beautiful - it has that very old, classic New England hotel look, and was decorated for Christmas for our December wedding.
The food and cake were also delicious - we got so many compliments on our choice of venue!
