We couldn't be happier with our experience at the Simsbury Inn for our wedding that was on 9/6/24! Everything was seamless from start to finish, and Jeanine, our coordinator, was an 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!
We got married at the Simsbury Inn in early May this year, and we had the best day! The ceremony space is gorgeous, the indoor/outdoor cocktail space was perfect, and the ballroom is stunning! Jeanine, the events coordinator, was very helpful throughout the entire planning process and was a rockstar the day of the event keeping everything on track and organized! 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 had a small wedding at The Simsbury Inn and it was MAGICAL. The venue is stunning, with a beautiful ballroom flowing out to an atrium and outdoor patio. The staff was incredibly attentive and made us feel so special. We also had an after party here and a post-wedding brunch, which were fantastic! The majority of our guests stayed at the Inn and everyone agreed it was a wonderful experience.
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!
Any questions?
We got married across the street at The Riverview and hosted a hotel block at The Simsbury Inn. Although we had a small group of people the staff made us feel special, offering space 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!
Where to begin? Planning a wedding is never easy, but everyone at The Simsbury Inn was amazing to work with. Lengthy communications with Jeanine about booking rooms for everyone were always so easy. She was always there with an answer when we had questions. The staff at the front desk was great, and the management was amazing and of course the rooms were all nice and clean. They have hosted many after-wedding gatherings, and it really showed. We had a large group staying after our wedding, and the way they accommodated us was beyond our expectations! Everyone we spoke to was happy to have us, and we can't say enough great things about The Simsbury Inn!
My husband and I had an incredible weekend stay at The Simsbury Inn for our recent wedding at The Riverview. Everything was comfortable, clean, and enjoyable. We had an incredible experience with Jeanine Mossey in preparation for our wedding weekend, with reserving a block of rooms for our wedding guests, reserving the Bridal Suite, and preparing for our visit. Our wedding guests loved their stay at The Simsbury Inn, and were very complimentary. We highly recommend The Simsbury Inn!
I cannot say enough about the Simsbury Inn! My daughter got married at The Riverview, and our wedding party stayed at The Simsbury Inn. We also hosted a breakfast at the Inn the morning after the wedding. Jeanine, the Sales Manager, is an expert at what she does. From the beginning, she guided me through the planning process, arranging suites for the bride and groom (which were fabulous!), a block of rooms for our guests, and a beautiful, delicious breakfast. We had a wonderful experience at the Simsbury Inn, and I highly recommend them.
The Simsbury Inn was our venue for our wedding on 11/11/22. It was the most perfect place we could've ever asked for in a venue. Jeanine Mossey was our event coordinator. She is the perfect person for that job- very organized, has great suggestions and always making sure we were satisfied!
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.
We got married at the Riverview in August 2022 and used the Simsbury Inn as our hotel. Jeanine was amazing to deal with - she answered all our questions in a timely manner and was extremely accommodating. The Inn kept the bar open for us, then once closed we were able to continue celebrating in the lobby late night. The hotel itself was beautiful and clean.
The Simsbury Inn brought all of my wedding dreams to life! Patti and the rest of the Simsbury Inn team were absolutely incredible during the entire planning process. Due to the pandemic, 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!!
I had my bridal shower this past Sunday at The Simsbury Inn and everything was perfect. Jeanine was helpful from the very start and her team was excellent the day of. They truly made me feel special. The venue itself is gorgeous and the food was excellent. Our guests were impressed and raves about it. I wish I could give 10 stars.
My husband and I have nothing but great things to stay about the Simsbury Inn! We had our wedding reception in the ballroom on October 9th and it was everything we could have imagined and more. Working with coordinator Jeanine was an absolute pleasure and every single hotel staff member that we encountered were so incredibly nice and accommodating to anything we needed. We will definitely be making a point to return to the Simsbury Inn at least once a year as it has left such a great, memorable experience with us!
I recently had my wedding reception at the Simsbury Inn. From the beginning of signing our contract in 2019 to rescheduling our date from 2020 to 2021 due to COVID-19, they were a pleasure to work with. They did not charge a rebooking fee and they did not increase any of the prices that we had originally agreed upon. 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.
We had our ceremony and reception at The Simsbury Inn on 09/28 and it was everything we had hoped for and more! Our wedding coordinator Jeanine was amazing in helping us put the day together and having it run smoothly. Their attention to detail is amazing. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how delicious all of the food was. The hotel is beautiful, with classic New England charm and character! Loved every second of our day there!
Let me start by saying that I did not actually get married at the Simsbury Inn, but we did have a wedding roomblock there so I just wanted to make a note of how amazing it was! Jeannine was sooo helpful through the whole process. The rooms were beautiful and checking in/handing out welcome bags went smoothly. I stayed in the 2 room suite which was plenty big enough for me, my bridesmaids, my mom, my photographers and my videographer to get ready in. We also used the hotel shuttle which worked out perfectly. Thank you to Jeannine and all the amazing staff that makes the Simsbury Inn such a special place!
The moment I walked through the Simsbury Inn and saw how beautiful everything was, I knew this was the place where I wanted to get married. I worked with Jeanine through the entire 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!
The Simsbury Inn blew away my expectations for what I pictured for my wedding. Not only is the setting gorgeous and the price reasonable, but the staff is incredible and each one went above and beyond for all that I needed. First of all, Patti knows exactly what she is doing and worked closely with us through every step of the way. Her and her staff made me feel so comfortable. They also set up everything how I wanted, were flexible with the timing of our reception and cocktail hour, and put my at ease throughout the whole process. I would highly highly recommend this venue!
My son was married at the Simsbury Inn and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is beautiful and the food and service were outstanding. Jeanine the event planner took care of every little detail and was on site the entire time making sure everything went smoothly. She also took care of all the details leading up to the wedding.
Her recommendations for vendors were wonderful. The hair and make-up team did an amazing job on all the girls and the private bridal salon was perfect. We reserved the Evergreen room for cocktail hour which was set up beautifully and the hors d'oevres never stopped and were all delicious. I highly recommend this venue for any couple, things couldn't have been better.
I don’t even know where to begin! My husband and I got ready and had our reception at the Simsbury Inn on May 19,2018. Jeanine was our coordinator and I love her. I miss working with her so much. She was there for my family and I every step of the way. She pays extreme attention to detail which calmed my Type A personality. She is just the best and was always available for any questions I had. Laurie and Lennox helped us the day of and were also amazing. Lennox also gives great hugs. The Talcott Room is perfect for getting ready in as it is off one of the bridal suites. The Inn exudes New England charm and our guests loved the accommodations. We can’t wait to hear back for our first anniversary dinner. Thank you to the whole team!
The Simsbury Inn was absolutely incredible! Jeanine and her staff were so helpful: walking us through every minute detail of the wedding to help run things smoothly, communicating with us and answering all our questions, being patient with us and helping us bring our wedding to life.
Our guests raved about how delicious the food was, how flavorful the cake was, how absolutely stunning the venue was, and how great their rooms were. All in all, I think we can safely say we were incredibly happy and lucky to have our wedding at The Simsbury Inn.
We had our wedding reception at The Simsbury Inn this past October and everything was beyond our wildest dreams! We worked with Jeanine throughout the planning process and she was amazing. The staff at The Simsbury Inn went above and beyond for us on our wedding day and we are truly grateful. The food, cake, and the ballroom were spectacular. We can't say enough good things about our experience with The Simsbury Inn. I highly suggest couples book here if you're looking for a beautiful, classic New England wedding venue!
I don't even know where to begin....from the first moment my husband and I walked into the Inn, we knew it would be the perfect place for our wedding reception! We worked with Jeanine from start to finish; she is super knowledgeable and made planning our big day seamless. She was always quick to respond to e-mails/calls which is greatly appreciated during planning! Her many efforts throughout the entire process ensured a perfect day for us!!
We stayed at the Inn the entire weekend with 50+ guests and can't say enough about it! The rooms are gorgeous, the food is exceptional (especially Sunday brunch!!), the Inn is super clean, and the staff was always super friendly.
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, everything 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!
Although we did not have our wedding here, several of our guests, myself, and the groom stayed the weekend here. I had the bridal suite booked and got ready for the big day here along with all my girls. It was amazing. The hotel staff was just wonderful, the rooms were amazing, and their little breakfast cafe was excellent as well. I do believe we will be returning for a night soon! Thanks so much for everything!
My husband and I got married at the Simsbury Inn last September, and had the best time! Everything was perfect! We wanted a place that would be as all-inclusive as possible, but would still allow us to add our special touches, and the Simsbury Inn nailed it. Patti is amazing - helpful, honest and always one step ahead. 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!!
Everything the day of our wedding was beautiful. We had an indoor ceremony and reception here. Picture perfect. What comes with your package is so affordable and customizable and that was what we needed! Some things got frustrating dealing with our coordinator but it was all typical bride things that happen. Staff was on point and genuinely wanted to make our day run smooth!
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 guests 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.
I am getting married in a few months and have the pleasure to work with both Jeanine and Patti on my plans. They are both wonderful! They are available when you call and willing to help and offer advice with any questions you have! They are very organized and keep me feeling relaxed about the whole process! I look forward to my wedding at The Simsbury Inn and I know it will be amazing because of these two ladies!
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 Candels, 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.
I cannot say enough good things about the Simsbury Inn! Our wedding was gorgeous, our guests have not stopped complimenting the Inn, the food was wonderful, the venue beautiful, and 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!
We got married 8/1/15 at The Simsbury Inn and LOVED every part of it and would recommend it to anyone !!! Jeanine was so great to work with...she is on top of EVERYTHING!!!! No detail 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!!!
The Simsbury Inn was a great choice in hotels. The Inn was also convenient for my guests because the venue for our wedding was across the street. They offered shuttle service between 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!
The Sumsbury Inn was exactly what I was hoping for in a wedding venue, and more. My husband and I wanted to have one venue for ceremony, reception and hotel that was unique and polished 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!

Thank you so much for your kind words and we were honored to be selected to host your special day! We would love to see photos and look forward to you coming back to The Simsbury Inn for your anniversary! Congratulations and many years of happi...
ness ahead!
I couldn't have asked for a better place for our wedding! Planning a wedding should not be stressful - and the staff at the inn took care of almost everything and our day was perfect!
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!
The Simsbury Inn is the best place to have a wedding. Patti made sure all of the details were taken care of, the food was delicous, and the service was great. All my guests had a great time, and everything turned out exactly has planned! Thanks to Patti and everyone who helped make our wedding great!
I had my wedding at The Simsbury Inn this past August and it was exactly as I imagined it would be! The property is absolutely beautiful and because they only host one wedding per day, I was the exclusive on-property bride and had the rights to all on-site photography.
There is a new glass atrium which leads out to the private patio off of the ballroom so my guests were able to enjoy cocktail hour outdoors. (And having spectcular weather that day, it was so nice that they were able to enjoy it!)
The food was also delicious! The filet mignon could be cut with a fork and the salmon with horseradish crust and lemon beurre blanc was so different than you typically find at a restaurant.
The staff was so attentive, and my server Alexis was there each time I needed something. And especially Patti Candels, the Director of Catering, who offered me guidance all through my planning.
It was a day to remember forecer!
I loved the inn. They were always helpful in answering my many questions and provided great service. I liked how the table centerpieces came with the package and how the inn allowed us to hold an after party in the lobby. They would just move us if the noise was too loud, rather than be rude in any way.
Additionally, the hotel rooms are very nice, the food is wonderful and the location is pretty.
I'm from Simsbury and had been to one wedding here before but ours was PHENOMENAL!! All of the guests talked about how much they loved it too! The staffing at SI (Jeanine in particular) are fantastic! They let us go to our honeymoon suite and relax for about 20 mins before we entered into our reception and they brought us a tray of appetizers. They made the process easy and beautiful. They have an in house bakery chef and the cake was absolutely amazing - they also will make you a small cake within one year of your wedding instead of having to freeze the top of the cake! She helped us bring in different wines than they offered and they paid attention to every little detail that we asked for. They were absolutely fabulous and I would recommend them to everyone!!
We had our wedding here, and they made sure everything was perfect! They only have one wedding reception per day so they really give the bride and groom and royal treatment and your guests can enjoy the lovely common areas, restaurant, and bar. Lovely sourroundings and reasonable prices so all our friends and family could stay over for the weekend. The food was delcious too! I cannot say enough great things about this place.
For the day of the wedding I had the bridal suite that opens to a small function room for all of my ladies to get ready in. We had brunch while getting our hair and makeup done- it was super relaxing and really fun girl time. They really think of all the details here. I am a former event planner who has been a bridesmaid many times and the service was above and beyond my expectations.
We had 200 guests at our wedding and took up about half the guest rooms at the inn. It was the perfect size for us. We were able to have the destination wedding feel without worrying about booking the whole place as some inns expect. Patti, our wedding coordinator was amazing, she handled all the reception details on the big day, I didn't have to worry about a thing and was able to just relax and enjoy!
Also, if you're trying to save money like us, you can do 3 hours open bar and then switch over to cash. This was the best deal I have seen for any reception of this calliber and our guests had plenty during that time.
My fiance and I were a little hesitant about picking the Simsbury Inn because we wanted to keep the cost down. In the end, we were only doing this once and LOVED the feeling we had when in the rooms and talking with the staff. Everyone of our guests who booked a room, had such amazing words about the staff they spoke with other the phone. I am so glad we had our wedding here!
Our experience with the Simsbury Inn was easy and fun from start to finish. Unlike many other venues, they only host one wedding a day and make everything about you. I was blown away with how accommodating they were with everything we wanted. I can't say enough great things about this venue.
I am so grateful to the amazing staff that helped put my reception together. I didn't have to worry about a thing!! It was a flawless evening that I was able to spend with family and friends thanks to the amazing people at the Simsbury Inn!
The simsbury inn was amazing. The wedding was beautiful and the staff was professional and welcoming. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the simsbury inn for an unforgettable wedding experience.
We used the Simsbury Inn for our son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner. It was FANTASTIC. We live in NJ, but had to plan a rehearsal dinner in CT. My husband and I drove up in March and went to several places to try to find something. After meeting Janine at the Simsbury Inn..our search ended and we even cancelled some appointments at other places. From start to finish, she was SO helpful and professional. She helped us to plan a custom upscale barbecue buffet, complete with delicious fried chicken, ribs, corn on the cob, french fries and lots more. It was beautifully displayed outside on covered patio,on a wonderful August evening. The checkered table clothes, lights, hanging ferns, bar area and appetizer display.... A+. Our guests had a great time, and it was a breeze for us with their expertise. By the way, when we mentioned one of our guests had Celiac disease, they made her a special meal. The banquet manager attending to us that night, was FANTASTIC...and the bartender? EXCELLENT. We are so happy with this choice. SIMPLE.
We recently were married and our reception was at the Simsbury Inn. The food received multiple compliments, both the meals and the appetizers. The bar tenders were great with making sure that there were never lines for people obtaining drinks. The reception room is a little older but it is in a New England Inn type setting so it is very fitting to the type of environment where it is located. The event planners at the venue are very easy to work with and make the event planning very stress free. The per person guest price includes the meals, drinks, small flower arrangements and the cake. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an all-inclusive way to plan a wedding.
We had our wedding at the Simsbury Inn, it was amazing! Patty was awesome! Through the whole planning she was there to answer any questions. The pricing and the food was amazing!!!
CT-type Inn very 'New Englandy'. Patti was excellent to deal with and the waitstaff was spectacular.
Great service, good food. nice setting with cozy overnight accomodations for guests.;recption room is an odd shape and if cocktail hour is held inside, the cocktails area is tight.
The Simsbury Inn was perfect for us because we had many out of town guests. It has all the amenities of a high class hotel, but felt like a mansion and not a high rise. Our guests were able to spend the night which meant no one had to travel after the reception. The food was delicous, and the wedding coordinators helped us figure out every detail. The guests raved about the place! Included in the wedding package was a suite for the bride and groom complete with champagne and fresh turkey sandwiches for a late night snack!;We found the dance floor a bit small, so consider checking with them about dance floor options.
It was completely different from the normal reception hall. The details in the decorations were beautiful
