Larimar - Bristol, Connecticut

We had our daughter’s wedding at Larimar on September 22nd 2024. We can’t say it enough how beautiful the whole experience was. From the first meeting there, Juan and Andrea made us feel so comfortable and we felt like we were their only patrons. The communication leading up to the event was superb and professional. The elegance of the venue and the magnificent food was beyond excellent. The bar was top shelf and well managed. The ambiance of the outdoor gazebo and the patio for happy hour had each guest one at a time telling us that it was one of the better weddings that they have ever attended. This venue is a hidden gem and we highly recommend it. Andrea was so sincere right up to the minute that we walked down the aisle. Our daughter was beaming all day long because she was so comfortable with the attention provided from the minute that they arrived early in the morning. The rehearsal dinner the night before was just as elegant. The whole staff is professional and caring. Thank you to all of you at Larimar for such a wonderful experience in one of the happiest days of our lives. A truly remarkable memory was made that we will carry forever.

The venue is BEAUTIFUL. INSIDE AND OUT. The food was good as well as the open bar... The bar tenders there... They know their stuff and make great drinks. The servers were very attentive to us as well.

They cleared up the tables right away, they made sure we were taken care of.
Anything I asked for they were so accommodating and did it with a smile on their faces.

Our food...short ribs and salmon, mashed potatoes with asparagus.....I don't eat fish so I must say the short ribs were like eating filet mignon... So tender and juicy.
The appetizers were really good, from their sliders to the salads.

All of the tables were set beautifully.
If I were getting married...I would get married there or renew our vows again. ❤️

I have never dealt with a more unprofessional staff than the staff at Larimar. We originally booked our wedding with their venue on October 10th of 2025 but due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to cancel. Originally, the staff was very understanding and assured us that once our date was booked, we'd receive our deposit back. Fast forward to May of 2024, I had heard no response from Larimar about our deposit. My emails went ignored until finally they responded saying a couple had booked and we would receive the deposit. Again, months fly by and then in August after emailing upset, they told us that we would receive our deposit by years end, contradicting what they had originally stated. Voiced my frustration over the situation and constant gaslighting to which they did not apologize, did not take ownership and sent the deposit to an address that is no longer lived in when they originally asked for the address to send the payment to. When I called, there was no remorse, no urgency to handle the situation and frankly, the staff was rude (specifically Juan) in the handling of the situation. Not to mention when we were still on for the wedding, I had to reach out multiple times just to get a coordinator to speak with us about our wedding. We were not treated as a priority when we were clients and still not being treated as a priority now. I will never recommend this venue due to their lack of accountability and their entitlement. Truly grateful we decided to forgo a wedding with this venue as I can't imagine my wedding day with a staff that does not value their customers.

The Larimar was the absolute best decision we made in our wedding planning and we had the most amazing day! The whole team from the start of touring to the check in visits/meetings, the tasting event, rehearsal and the day of was SO thorough and well organized. Not a single thing in our eye went wrong and we couldn’t have asked for the most perfect day. The feedback was absolutely stellar from all of our guests— The venue inside and outside (design, style, ease of access, quality of work) was just exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. Now the food, absolutely SPECTACULAR. The guests raved about the amount of food that was served and how delicious everything tasted (along with the awesome cocktails). They are still continuing to tell us how great the food was. We truly can’t say enough positive things about this day and everything leading up to it. I cried tears of happiness with our wedding and how stress-free they helped make it. To all of you at the Larimar, you made our dreams and vision come to life and we are so blessed to have chosen your venue to make our day so special. Thank you!!

Larimar was absolutely incredible for our special day. The grounds outside are gorgeous; we had our ceremony on site at the gazebo and it was perfect. Plus, the space outside for cocktail hour was amazing, as were the dozens of different pass around appetizers (which our guests could not stop talking about!). The meal itself was also AMAZING and another topic of conversation among our guests. Then, the banquet room was more gorgeous than I ever could have imagined--down to every last detail.

Also, working with Andrea and Tori throughout the process was easy. They were responsive when we had questions, flexible when we made changes or new requests (which happened often) throughout the process, and just generally, made it clear that the details we cared about mattered. It was evident that bringing our vision to life (in every way!) was their top priority. If I could do it all over again, I would--and I'd do it again at the Larimar. It was the BEST day--so beautiful in every way and easy for us, as the couple.

We highly recommend Larimar for any couple who wants a gorgeous venue, an easy, flexible planning process, and coordinators who genuinely care about making this day everything you could possibly imagine.

Just had my wedding at this venue on 10/15/22. I cannot speak highly enough of this venue and their coordinators. The organization was extremely helpful in keeping wedding planning as stress-free as possible. The little extras that were offered made the night very special for us and our guests. The venue itself is stunning. I appreciated having the bridal suite on site to get ready with the girls. The food was out of this world, and something our guests are still talking about! I would 100% recommend this venue!
