We had our wedding here this past July.
Thanks to Katlyn and the rest of the staff, our day was amazing. From the planning stage, to the rehearsal the night before, to the actual w...
edding day, we could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding!
It is obviously stunning with the gardens, but the food and atmosphere are also noteworthy. The appetizers and dinner were outstanding and our guests kept saying they loved their meal as they left our wedding.
At the end of the night, Katlyn and the rest of the staff hustled to get everything cleaned up and put back into the boxes. It was truly wild how quickly they got the room packed away. Then they allowed us to pick up all of our decor the next day.
Thank you to Katlyn and all of the other hard working staff from our wedding. It felt like pure magic.
There’s too much to say about The Spinning Wheel and its entire staff in one review, but to summarize – our wedding day was PERFECT! All our guests raved about the organization of ...
the day, the beauty of the scenery, the amazing food, and everything in between. That was not possible without Katlyn & team being so attentive to every detail during the planning process & execution of the day. I cannot emphasize enough how perfect our day was!! The perfect fall, New England day without a single hiccup. Book The Spinning Wheel for your wedding! You won’t regret it!
Wedding was 10/25/25 Where do I even begin to review The Spinning Wheel, and the staff there? My husband and I are beyond pleased with how absolutely seamless planning a wedding wa...
s at the Spinning Wheel. Katelyn was THE BEST, she answered all of our questions, was patient, kind, and beyond helpful planning every detail of our wedding. She is not only a professional, she was amazing helping us create our vision. The servers and bartenders were like nicest people, they were warm, attentive, and truly kind. Katelyn truly made all of our stress melt away. She was always there to help, always there giving us suggestions and ideas, and helped us even find a rehearsal dinner space nearby. The actual facilities of the venue are incredible. From the rustic fireplace to the very very very cool sitting area with the turtle ottoman, everything felt magical. Our ceremony and cocktail hour in the outdoor space was something out of a fairy tale. Everything was clean and beautiful. The venue is designed in a way that your guests don’t feel crowded there is plenty of space to move around, dance and have a great time. Ok now the important part! THE FOOD. Now I am not just saying this because it was my wedding, but holy crap! The food! The passed apps were delicious, warm, and everyone was able to get some without having to look for them. The actual dinner service was brilliant. The food was fresh, hot, and used whole good ingredients that made the food all that better. Everyone who we have spoken to that attended our wedding was in awe of how good the food was!
All in all, picking the Spinning Wheel was the best decision my husband and I made. The staff made our day so special and I wanted to sing their praises. Katelyn should teach a class in wedding planning because she was perfect! I don’t even have other words to describe her attention to detail and kindness. Even the next day following the wedding my Husband and I were heading back to the venue to collect our decorations and personal items, Katelyn had them all packed up already. I mean, the sheer relaxation that sets in the day after a wedding to not have to worry about anything…priceless.
One last thing, The Spinning Wheel was 100000% LGBTQIA+ friendly. As a Gay man it was really nice being comfortable and safe at a venue and staff. Seriously Katelyn, thank you so much for all of the hard work and patience you put into our wedding. You made our special day magical and for that we will always be thankful <3
We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Spinning Wheel in May 2025 and cannot say enough good things about our experience! Katlyn was extremely professional, organized, an...
d kind. Once the wedding day came, my husband(!!!) and I didn't have to stress about any details -- Katlyn had it all taken care of! Our guests loved the space -- both inside and outside. The gardens are beautiful and the reception area was welcoming and cozy. Even though it drizzled, the covered patio was still perfect for an outdoor ceremony. Food and drinks were delicious and we received so many compliments! We'd highly recommend anyone choose the Spinning Wheel for their next event!
We had our wedding at The Spinning Wheel this past December. When I tell you it was amazing, it was nothing short of the best day of our lives. All thanks to Katlyn and her wonderf...
ul staff. Katlyn did her absolute best to make sure this day was everything we wanted it to be, from start to finish. Including helping setup, and take apart all of our decorations that we brought in. Not only this, but when the Bartender called out the day of our wedding, she jumped back there and got drinks out like a pro. This day wouldn’t have been what it was, without her.
Don’t be fooled by the prior reviews left by a disgruntled family, who supposedly went home and had each family member press copy and paste.. To insinuate that their staff was underage after you are unsatisfied, is a new low. As Bride and Groom, it’s your job to vet the space and make sure it works for you. If it doesn’t for as many reasons as claimed.. it’s likely your fault.
Katlyn answered our questions honestly and respectfully at all stages of the process. When she had an unforeseen inconvenience, on top of an unexpected delayed start from us, she picked up the slack and delivered. This day was beautiful and turned out to be exactly what we hoped it would be all thanks to Katlyn and her amazing staff!
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Spinning Wheel. From the very first tour to the final goodbye at the end of our wedding night, Katlyn and her staff were absolutel...
y amazing. Katlyn was incredibly professional, organized, and responsive, making the entire planning process seamless and made us feel at ease.
The venue itself is beautiful and was perfect for our Fall wedding. The ceremony room was intimate and endearing. The cocktail hour, in the side bar rooms with fireplaces, were cozy and inviting. And we can’t say enough good things about the food, many of our guests had a lot of complimentary things to say too.
We’re so grateful for the wonderful memories we made here. Highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding day!
I sent an email a week ago outlining my complaints, and not only did I not receive an apology, but I also got no response at all. The service was extremely poor. Guests were cut of...
f from the bar for no reason, and the owner was rude throughout the event.
The bartenders appeared under-qualified, and there was not nearly enough food during cocktail hour. At dinner, some plates had only a couple of carrots, and they were running out of food entirely. With 120 guests, I was shocked they claim to accommodate up to 150—it’s clear they’re not equipped for that.
I feel robbed; we did not get what we paid for. To make matters worse, the owner was disrespectful to the groom's best friend, who ended up leaving the wedding. One bartender even threatened to throw the groom's father out when we questioned why guests were being cut off.
Overall, this experience was far from what we expected and left us very disappointed.
If it wasn’t for our djs (Kaos entertainment- highly recommend) the whole night would have been ruined from the service at the spinning wheel. Thankfully we had good music to dance to.
This venue cannot handle more than a 75 for a wedding. If you go visit, be diligent asking questions. How much staff will be working, bartenders, how will they handle long drink li...
nes. How many Hor D'ourves will they provide per person. Are the bartender experienced (NO) Will they be receptive to bride and groom (NO) Worst experience ever!!!!!! I know the price is fair, but, not worth it at all, find a better venue

end The Spinning Wheel! Thank you to our wedding coordinator for helping us!!!
Much love, The Jenkins
Our experience with The Spinning Wheel could not have been better. My husband and I were looking for something on the smaller side that could still accommodate our large families, ...
something elegant yet laid back, and something with that New England charm. The venue fit perfectly! It’s a beautiful space, both the interior and exterior. We met with Katlyn from the beginning and she was truly the easiest coordinator to work with. Having met a few others during our search for the venue, we immediately liked Katlyn’s professional yet still calm and “not pushy” approach. All communication was very clear and Katlyn responded to all questions in a timely manner. We brought in some extra decorations and Katlyn was extremely helpful in executing our vision and making sure everything was set up just as we asked. As the day of the wedding approached, we saw there was a chance of rain. Multiple options were offered and Katlyn let us take a chance of having the ceremony outside. Last minute, the ceremony had to be moved under the tented patio yet this was not a problem at all. We actually really enjoyed the ceremony in this location! When it began to pour immediately after the ceremony, it could have become really hectic however The Spinning Wheel team quickly set up cocktail tables and opened the reception room up to keep everyone dry. Though it was likely chaotic for the team, all the guests continued to enjoy the cocktail hour. The rest of the evening went very well. The food was amazing, we had tons of guests complimenting how good it was and the service was wonderful as well. Everything ran smoothly. Katlyn and her team continued to check in with us to make sure it was all going well and see if they could provide us with anything. I would highly recommend The Spinning Wheel to others and would of course consider it for any future events myself!
Katlyn, the staff and the beautiful grounds and at the Spinning Wheel are amazing! If I could give Katlyn and the entire staff at the Spinning Wheel more stars I would! Katlyn wa...
s so quick to respond to any questions we had while planning our wedding and eager to accommodate special requests. All the food was delicious and the bar service was superb! There was never a wait at the bar, the hors d’oeuvres flowed constantly and the dinner was so very delicious! I think every one of our quests commented about how perfect our wedding was. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Katlyn and everyone at the Spinning Wheel for your kind, friendly and very professional service!
Katlyn and the staff at Spinning Wheel are amazing! We hosted my sister’s spring floral themed bridal shower there in 2023 and it was perfect. Katlyn and her team were responsive, ...
organized and so helpful from the initial planning phases and on the day of. We had the option of many different table linens, event spaces and uses, menu options - which were delicious, and so much more to pull together a special day . The event space is versatile inside and out with beautiful floral gardens which were perfect backdrop for photos. Highly recommend!
We obsessed for months over whether we were making the correct choice, but we are now so grateful that we selected the Spinning Wheel for our son’s East Coast wedding reception.

e specifically did not want a “wedding mill” glass and glitz venue, and felt the comfortable and warm “old country inn” ambiance of the Spinning Wheel was perfect for us. We also preferred being the only party present, rather than having to share the venue with other groups.
All the complements Katlyn receives in other reviews are totally deserved. She was absolutely terrific, both in her planning assistance and in running the reception, and was very accommodating to all of our requests. All of the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more attentive, and our guests felt very welcomed.
Everyone present thought the food, both entrees and meals, was excellent, and many guests stated the sliced tenderloin was the best they had ever eaten.
The two room setup worked out perfectly for us. Our reception was a family event with a large contingent of younger guests, and we were able to separate the families with children from the other adult attendees. The staff displayed incredible patience with the younger set, who acted at times like they were cast members in a “Lord of the Flies” remake.
I can not thank Katlyn and the other consummate professionals at The Spinning Wheel enough for the effort and aesthetic sense they provided on our wedding day. The venue is positiv...
ely beautiful and I look back on the day with heartfelt gratitude to them. Katlyn responded to every question in a timely manner, she answered all of our questions and worked with the other professionals that we had hired as well. The food was delicious and our wedding was lovely.

t the day started out rainy. However, Katlyn, Chris and the whole team were able to pivot seamlessly and set everything up under the covered patio. Miraculously, the sun broke out just at the end of the ceremony, and our guests enjoyed walking around the beautiful grounds during cocktail hour. Everyone commented on how delicious the food was (it truly was to-die-for) and how attentive the staff was. My spring garden wedding dreams came true thanks to the hard work of everyone at The Spinning Wheel!!
The Spinning Wheel was the wedding of our dreams. Our wedding was in October, and it was like a New England fall fairytale. If the weather is nice I recommend having the ceremony o...
utside overlooking the beautiful trees. Not only was the scenery amazing but so we’re the employees! Katlyn was there for me every step of the way helping me bring my vision to life and answering all my questions. It was very easy to get in contact with her and her responses whether email or by phone were immediate! The day went by so smooth and fast I’d do it all over again if I could.
If we could give The Spinning Wheel a million starts, we would! From the first time we set foot on the property, we knew this place was special. From the historic, New England char...
m of the venue, beautiful landscaping, and the AMAZING food, you will not regret booking The Spinning Wheel for your wedding/event. Katlyn, Chris, and the entire staff went well above our expectations the day of, and our guests were truly wowed. Throughout the planning process, Katlyn answered all of my (many) emails so promptly. She was a pleasure to work with and the ceremony and reception went off without a hitch because of her attention to detail and wanting to make sure our special day was all that we wanted it to be. To touch on the food again, numerous guests stated it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding, which really speaks volumes to Anthony and The Spinning Wheel staff. This family-owned and operated business truly embraces all of their couples and makes you feel like you are part of the family as well and that is why you will not regret booking The Spinning Wheel for your event!
We got married at The Spinning Wheel on 05/14/22 and it was hands-down the best decision we made on our wedding day. The only thing I would change is that I wish we had done our ce...
remony here as well. Chris and Katlyn were wonderful and were incredibly patient with us, answering tons of questions and emails leading up to our event. The day of the wedding, everyone was so kind and professional. They had a tray of food for the bridal party and our favorite drinks ready for us right upon arrival. Although we missed cocktail hour ourselves due to photos, everyone who attended raved about the food and how quaint and beautiful the space was. Our guests also really loved the patio area and gardens. Thank you to everyone at the Spinning Wheel for such a wonderful day. We hope the restaurant opens back up so we can celebrate anniversaries there for years to come.
Disappointing to say the least! The grounds are beautiful as well as the venue itself. However, they fell very short on our 5.22.22 wedding. We felt as though we just got all the l...
eftover staff that was not well trained and that reflected all throughout our reception from start to finish.
We had 8 passed hor d’oeuvres where a lot if not more than half of our guests gave the feedback that they had not seen them. As the bride and groom a tray of each option was not set aside for us which the coordinator stated was an oversight on her end and also had the audacity to state she knew everything was served as she had some herself. My husband also asked one of the servers for a specific hor d’oeuvre and was ignored. So be okay with sharing what you paid for with the staff!
Our bar selection was setup for the custom option instead of the premium which the event coordinator verbally owned up to when it was on a conference call with the owner but, then went back on their word when it was time for email correspondence and having things in writing. The drink server was not well trained and didn’t know the right portions for drinks or how to make basic drinks. We were told we would have had to pay extra for an actual “bartender” which was never mentioned ahead of time.
The actual meals were delicious that’s the only positive I can really give this place and probably their only saving grace. Don’t expect doggy bags (they can’t give them out after 4 hours. Our meals were served at 1:30-2 and reception ended at 5:30 so if the food was packed it technically was not left out for 4 hours but that’s beside the point) and make sure your vendors actually eat or their meal will just be taken away untouched.
For dessert we had a 3-tier cake for 63 guests and 5 vendors. Again, be prepared to share that as well as supposedly all of our cake was served. Don’t expect the tradition of the top tier being saved or any take home unless you ask. Also, not everyone was served coffee including the bride and groom yet again were forgotten about.
There was also a list of other disappointments, but we wanted to touch the main points. Essentially, the ones that made us feel that we didn’t get what we paid for.
So, we wouldn’t suggest this place if you want to be treated as people of importance as the bride and groom as well as your guests being attended to.
Our Wedding Celebration was Fantastic.

Our wedding experience with the Spinning Wheel was better than fantastic, it was extraordinary. Our review will highlight what we believe to be the three most important things to ...
consider when looking for a venue to host your wedding day (Venue, Food, and Customer Service). We hope that after reading this, you and your future spouse are asking each other “Why would we have our wedding reception anywhere else other than the Spinning Wheel?”
Venue: The venue the Spinning Wheel provides is truly remarkable. The eloquent interior is complemented by a stunning outdoor patio and meticulously maintained grounds, complete with a flower garden and gazebo. This offers you the perfect backdrop for photos on your special day.
Food: The food the Spinning Wheel prepared for our wedding day can be described in one word, incredible. Rest assured that your party will be in greatly skilled culinary hands on your special day.
Customer Service: The Spinning Wheel is a family owned/operated establishment. They are a joy to work with and it is apparent in their attention to detail that they truly take great pride in their work. On our special day, the Spinning Wheel team went above and beyond to ensure everyone (especially my bride, hint hint grooms reading this) had an unforgettable experience.

ing up through the wedding day. The venue, with the outdoor patio, was beautiful. Every need was met and the food was absolutely amazing. Chris made sure that we ate throughout the night. Our wedding was truly enjoyable and guests are still raving about the food and service.
We are happy to be able to visit the restaurant regularly, and recommend The Spinning Wheel to everyone, whether you are looking to dine out or celebrate a special event.
My husband and I were married in February and had our reception at the Spinning Wheel. We wanted our wedding to be simple but elegant - not a lot of frills but intimate and unique ...
- and the Spinning Wheel was just that. Although it was a little cold and damp outside on our wedding day, inside we had a nice fire to welcome us, along with candles and other small touches which made the space romantic and elegant. The food - as many of our guests commented - was exceptional, as was the waitstaff. The size of the space was a great fit for our wedding of about 70 guests - it was full without being crowded. Since the venue space is divided by a few steps, we did struggle at first to decide if we should use both the upper and lower sections, but in the end we had the perfect number to fill the main section with tables and leave the other open for the bar and cocktail hour. Chris helped us a lot with this kind of planning and decision making and was there the whole night to help facilitate the reception. Both he and Anthony (the chef) were lovely to work with. When people ask us about our wedding we usually describe it as "perfect" and we really mean it - we're so glad we chose the Spinning Wheel!
We had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Spinning Wheel on October 12th, 2018 and the day was perfect because of Chris and his staff. From the moment we met Chris we were t...
otally at ease and felt so accommodated by him. Our friends and family cannot stop raving about how beautiful the rustic venue is and how impressed they are with the food (plentiful, fun appetizers and savory dinner choices). Every step of the planning, Chris was always available to answer multiple questions and it would seem the sky was the limit for us; he understood our vision for the day. Even though we know The Spinning Wheel hosts multiple weddings and events every weekend, we felt like our wedding was their only event and gave us 100% of their time and effort. The experience was effortless, and we felt as if we didn’t have to worry about the little details as Chris had already thought of and executed them (votive placement, seating suggestions etc.). He didn’t miss a beat the day of the wedding and was the perfect wedding coordinator. He kept us all on time and he made sure my bridal party received appetizers and drinks during photos. He executed dinner seamlessly and made sure we got everything done throughout the night. I never felt rushed or forgotten about. The venue itself is perfectly romantic and had plenty of space for our 75 guests. Chris and his staff treated us like family and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. I absolutely recommend The Spinning Wheel to any couple searching for their perfect venue- you will experience your dream wedding here.
The Spinning Wheel is more than a wedding venue. It encapsulates a true "Connecticut" atmosphere while exceeding our expectations for food....logistics support and advice....amb...
iance....and helping us keep to our budget. All important elements of a great wedding. Our guests said "it was the best wedding they have gone to in years!" Chris and his staff are the best.

We would highly recommend the Spinning Wheel. Chris and his team made planning super easy, and did a great job on the day of the wedding. The food was delicious and the atmosphere ...

The food was excellent and all our guests raved about it. We had a blast and would highly recommend this venue to anyone.

We recently had our reception at The Spinning Wheel on June 30, 2018 and we could not be happier with the service that was provided. Chris is, without a doubt, a pure pleasure to w...
ork with. His communication and patience are both admirable. No matter what we asked, he accepted our request and did everything possible to make our wedding day perfect. We visited countless places before finding The Spinning Wheel. Upon meeting Chris and walking into the most beautiful rustic setting, we knew The Spinning Wheel was the place to have our reception. We then tried the food and met a couple having lunch that also was married at The Spinning Wheel. They couldn’t stop telling us how wonderful their experience was. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the staff was so friendly and accommodating. Additionally, the landscaping is breathtaking and a perfect setting for any photographer!
Before our wedding, we were able to set up the venue exactly as we had imagined with Chris’s expertise guiding us. Chris even designed and decorated the tables with our special favors and our centerpieces in a beautiful way. We did not have a wedding planner, but Chris wore this hat as well. We had wanted lots of candles on each of the mantles, which Chris lit and made look amazing. No task did Chris ever shy away from and no question did he ever leave unanswered.
Our guests still cannot stop raving about our wedding, especially the food. The appetizers were amazing, and it’s great because you can go to The Spinning Wheel restaurant to taste them all before choosing which ones you want to have served. When one of our guests mentioned a tomato allergy (not even asking for a special accommodation), Chris without hesitation visited the kitchen and provided this guest with a pasta dish without the vodka sauce we had included on our menu. It was simple things like this that made the difference and we knew this right from the start when we met Chris. His pricing is clear, he is helpful, and the way that he connects with his clients is unmatched. Our guests were so impressed by his staff, his service, and the beauty of The Spinning Wheel.
When our party bus arrived to The Spinning Wheel, Chris had his staff meet my husband and I with our individual drinks of choice, which he had made sure to ask us about the day before when we were dropping off the favors. Not to mention, while we were taking pictures during cocktail hour, his wait staff continuously had appetizers available to us, with a whole tray of Thai chicken poppers (my favorite appetizer on the menu!). Most couples do not get to eat at their cocktail hour, but Chris made sure this did not happen to us.
The night was absolutely flawless. Chris made every single piece of our special day perfect. And he really cared that it was exactly as we had wanted it. We will forever remember this day and Chris’ hospitality. If you are looking for a beautiful venue to celebrate in, delicious food, kind wait staff, and not all of the bologna that comes with trying to choose a venue, VISIT THE SPINNING WHEEL! Trust us when we say, you and your guests will not be disappointed. If you want your day to be something that’s talked about for weeks later, constantly being called “the best wedding I’ve ever been to”, then look no further. We couldn’t be happier that we chose The Spinning Wheel. Thank you, Chris. You are amazing and we appreciate all of your work, effort, and patience.

e looking for a rustic farm theme wedding or even just to go out to eat you MUST try this place. Even the drive is beautiful! Every time someone asked me where our wedding is going to take place, I told them it's at The Spinning Wheel, they would always say, OMG! I LOVE THAT PLACE & THEIR FOOD IS AMAZING!. Thanks again Spinning Wheel for making our wedding special.
We had our wedding on 10/29/17 and it was absolutely perfect. From the ceremony to the reception, Chris helped to create the most beautiful setting. Our ceremony was in front of a ...
romantic stone fireplace, and the reception was set up in the banquet room which was beautifully decorated for our rustic fall theme. We had a small wedding, with just 52 guests. It ended up pouring rain all day, but it didnt stop us from having a wonderful time! We had hoped for cocktail hour on their beautiful patio, but Chris didn't miss a beat and moved everyone into a separate room inside the restauraunt.
Chris personally assists with everything. We had only a best man and maid of honor, with my stepchildren as junior bridesmaid/groomsman and flower girl, so Chris himself was showing guests to their seats, and he even rolled out our aisle runner. His team of servers took great care of us. The food was wonderful, hot and fresh with huge portions. My guests were raving about It! Water glasses stayed full, and empty plates were quickly cleared away. They handled all the cleanup, and when I came back to get our things, I was so pleased to find everything carefully packed up .
The Spinning Wheel made our intimate wedding a most memorable day. We can't thank them enough!

Also, the price quoted was very fair for all that we got.

tail hour appetizers, salad, tortellini, and the various dinner options. We required halal/kosher chicken and beef and they were able to accommodate this. I was meticulous about all the details from the food all the way through the decorations and they executed perfectly. The setting was perfect and had that rustic feeling that I wanted. Our guests loved the place and I had people ask me how we found this hidden gem. Chris spent over an hour on the phone to help answer questions and also took time on a busy Sunday to brainstorm and arrange the setup of the reception room. The moment we arrived to the venue on the wedding day, Chris and staff setup the room exactly as planned. They immediately came up to us with appetizers and made sure we were fed. Throughout the night, Chris stopped by the sweetheart table to make sure we were okay and offered to bring us our drinks. He and Anthony didn't make me feel like just another customer through the process. They made it feel so personal and were so attentive and caring until the very end. I would highly recommend this place for a wedding or any party. They went above and beyond and more than exceeded my expectations. Thank you Chris, Anthony, and team for an unforgettable night!!!
The Spinning Wheel was the perfect venue for our intimate New England Wedding. The staff did a great job setting up the room, the tables and even my centerpieces and decorations. I...
worked with Chris throughout the process and he was such a pleasure. Planning a wedding involves a lot of time and effort and I was worried about everything from the start being the perfectionist that I am. Chris is so on top of things though which helped set my mind at ease about many things. The food and food service was also great all our guests raved about how delicious everything was. The dance floor is a great size for the beautiful and versatile L room space. We had a little over 100 people and no one felt crowded even with 12 round tables set up. There is also a nice stone patio outside and a gazebo on the property. I would highly recommend any couple planning their wedding to check out the Spinning Wheel to discover all this local gem has to offer.
Absolutely perfect! We were married in February 2017 on a quintessential New England day. The Spinning Wheel was the perfect venue for our winter wedding. The fireplaces were glowi...

My daughter and her husband were married in Portland, Oregon six months ago. Both sides of the family are large and live in New York and Connecticut. Becau...
se of the distance, few were able to attend the ceremony. We wanted to celebrate with everyone, so we had a Wedding Dinner at The Spinning Wheel on Memorial Day Weekend. Being that they had been married for six months, they did not want an elaborate reception. Alison has always loved rustic décor and country style, so we went with a farmhouse theme. When I presented my idea of substituting farmhouse tables instead of the usual ones, I think Chris was a little surprised. However, being an accommodating and flexible person, he went along with the idea. Everything went very smoothly. The restaurant was beautiful, in a quaint New England manner, with wood beams, beautiful old fireplaces, stonework and woodwork from the days of old-and some new custom work, also! The beams held greens and fairy lights, the cocktail hour was held outside surrounded by well-tended gardens with refreshing drinks and tantalizing hors d’oeuvres. The food was sumptuous and served in a timely manner so it could be enjoyed hot. The wait staff was particularly attentive and we heard from many of the guests that the meal was delicious. The Spinning Wheel offers a unique venue- one that is relaxed and almost a magical step back in time. Chris, the proprietor, is friendly and he and his staff will work to make your dreams come true!

taff is amazing, especially Janice, who anticipated every need, and is such a pleasant and calming presence. Guest after guest raved about the food- "best food I've ever had at a wedding" was a comment we heard over and over. You won't go wrong considering The Spinning Wheel for your special day!
We could not have had a more perfect wedding day and most of that was thanks to Chris at The Spinning Wheel. We had a few appointments to check out different venues for our wedding...
. The Spinning Wheel was the first place we looked at. From the minute we walked in, we knew this was the place for us. Every single member of the staff we talked to was friendly and helpful. Everyone seemed like they enjoyed working there. After speaking to Chris we went out to the car and cancelled the rest of our appointments and came back in to sign our contract.
Chris seemed to really care about making us happy, and that meant a lot. He worked with us every step of the way and was extremely accommodating to all of our requests. He made sure every part of the wedding day went exactly the way we wanted it to. The venue itself is beautiful and cozy. The rustic feel was exactly what we were looking for and I can't say enough about how delicious the food is.
The Spinning Wheel is a wonderful family owned business and they make you feel like you're part of the family.

Chris at the venue, we knew this was where we were meant to have our wedding. I could not have imagined a more flawless night. Chris made sure the night ran smoothly and was 100% accommodating! The food was excellent and so was the service. The space was absolutely beautiful, and I especially loved the fireplace in the back room. I had heard stories of how stressful wedding planning can be, but Chris made our experience easy, helping with so many aspects of the night. We cannot thank Chris and his team at the Spinning Wheel enough for such an amazing night! If you are looking for a beautiful environment with incredible food and service, you will find that all at The Spinning Wheel.
