I don’t even know where to begin with how incredible our experience was having our wedding at Tunxis Country Club.
The biggest shoutout goes to our coordinator Bridget who was abs...olutely amazing from start to finish. I had a very specific vision for our wedding, along with countless details I had spent months planning, and Bridget brought everything together more beautifully than I could have imagined. When I walked in and saw everything decorated, exactly how I had envisioned (and, in a lot of ways, even better), I was blown away. Honestly, it looked like I hired a separate, professional decorator when every piece was DIY, and all of the set up was included as part of our wedding package. Being able to hand everything over to Bridget and seeing my vision come to life was an incredible gift.
Bridget also made the entire day feel completely seamless and stress-free. You always hear that something will go wrong on your wedding day, but I genuinely cannot think of a single thing I wish had gone differently (and it was pouring rain pretty much the entire night). Everything flowed perfectly, everything was where it needed to be, and instead of worrying about logistics, we were able to be fully present and enjoy our day. Bridget's entire demeanor put us both at ease - she was present, but relaxed, detail oriented without being overbearing, and just also a great time - many of my guests raved about their interactions with her during the night. When you see a venue coordinator included in your wedding package, you don't necessarily know what you are going to get - in this case, we were given the experience of a professional, stand-alone coordinator.
The venue was beautiful and every part of the day came together better than we imagined. I had not seen many photos on social media of the fireside dining room, so I was initially nervous about how it would look, especially when our ceremony had to be moved indoors at the last minute. But the indoor ceremony ended up being even more beautiful and intimate than the outdoor option, and honestly, I would have chosen it from the beginning. Our guests had an incredible time, and we received so many compliments throughout the night—especially about how good the food was.
I also have to mention the value, because we were budget conscious planning our wedding, and initially worried about what venue we would be able to afford. The price of this venue does not match the level of quality, care, and service you receive. Wedding venues can be incredibly expensive, but Tunxis gave us an experience that felt expensive, personal, and completely worth it while still being completely reasonable (far more reasonable than any of the competing venues in the area). We never felt like we were sacrificing quality to stay within our budget. If anything, we received far more than we paid for.
Looking back on our wedding day, there truly isn’t anything we would change. Everything we had hoped for came to life, and we were able to enjoy the day instead of worrying about it.
If you are considering Tunxis Country Club for your wedding, I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you have the opportunity to work with Bridget, you will be in the best possible hands. She took a day I had spent so much time dreaming about and planning and brought that vision to life in a way I will always be grateful for.
Thank you, Bridget, and everyone at Tunxis, for making our wedding day so special and unforgettable!!!
