Connecticut Wedding Group - Middletown, Connecticut

I am so grateful that I chose to get married with the CT Wedding Group. Not only did they provide an absolutely gorgeous venue and the best wedding food I've ever had, but their entire team was an invaluable resource for the year and a half it took to plan our best day ever! They were always available to answer questions, guide us on what to do next, give us tips on cost saving, brain storm ideas and more. They alleviated so, so much stress. They made our vision come to life! Our guests continuously compliment us on the experience. It was truly the best night of my life and I sincerely thank the entire team of the CT Wedding Group for that 🙂

Our wedding was this weekend and I am still in awe. I am a very nervous individual, but throughout my entire process, Wedding group really helped calm my nerves. From the minute, I got off the party bus to the venue. I felt a sudden ease. If I could recommend any upcoming bride considering using the CT Wedding group, I would highly recommend you ask specifically for Lexi to be your day of coordinator. I have never in my life met someone so attentive and so pleasant to be around. It’s almost like she can predict everything in your head before you even have to say it.
Need a drink? Lexi was already there with your drink before you asked for it.
Wanted some chicken pot pie appetizer? Lexi was there once again without having to say it. Everything throughout the day was perfect thanks to Lexi and Victoria. I cannot thank them enough for making the most magical day of my life absolutely perfect.

We hired the CT Wedding Group for our wedding at The Pavilion on Crystal Lake in July. Throughout the planning process the entire staff was attentive and responsive to our questions and requests, and provided a handy to do list to ensure we stayed on track. As for the actually day of ceremony, the entire staff at the venue was friendly and made sure our day was special. One hiccup that we did have was trouble with the A/C unit during our reception, something they fixed as quickly as they could to ensure the rest of the night went smoothly. Our day of coordinators, Lindsay and Eddie, made our day as perfect as we could've hoped. They were detailed oriented and were able to deal with anything that popped up throughout the course of the day! Most importantly, they made sure we always had food and a drink in our hand, and handled anything that came up throughout the night.

One thing we wish that was a bit more clear was the pricing for certain things for the ceremony, specifically about what was included in the price per plate versus an additional add on. There were some surprises in the final invoice that led to some confusion. At the end of the day we would recommend the CT Wedding Group and The Pavilion on Crystal Lake for your big day!

Our experience with getting married at The Pavilion and with the CT Wedding Group was amazing from start to finish. The CT Wedding Group is absolutely fabulous and you truly want them being the ones organizing and planning your special day. From the beginning we knew we were in good hands, the wedding coordinators send out periodical emails with what should be next in the wedding planning journey. They have the couple schedule occasional video chats and in person meetings when it gets closer to the big day. Throughout the planning if you had a question, they encourage emails, as the bride I utilized this very much! I would send over inspiration pictures and details about decor for that ceremony and reception, with all this information they start adding it to your wedding profile. The amount of care and time they gave with emails and video calls was wonderful and felt great knowing you were in such good hands. On my wedding day I had zero worry that my vision wasn’t going to be executed.

With in a week of the wedding you get assigned a “day of coordinator,” trust me when I say…Every single coordinator is wonderful and talented. Our wedding coordinator was Melinda and she was nothing shy of perfect!!! We appreciated her thoroughness on every detail for our wedding. She was supportive, helpful and cared about us during the biggest day of our lives. Melinda and the staff at The Pavilion were professional, kind and attentive! Our “favor” was a candy table that I prepared and brought the day of, rather than me being stressed about the assembling of my candy table, they displayed and set it up better than I could have even imagined. We are so grateful for everything they did for us. I was brought to tears seeing how amazing our reception looked, thank you for all you did!

The food…DELICIOUS!! This will be the best wedding food you and your guest will ever have, I said what I said! Our families were raving and complimenting the food with the highest praise. The Pavilion has a talented chef & kitchen and I believe this is something that sets them apart from other venues. You will be floored by the delicious food and they venue makes sure to feed the guests well, no one leaves hungry. We opted for a cocktail hour “enhancement,” the Mac & Cheese bar and a “late night snack,” pizza!! The enhancements were well worth it for us, our guests LOVED the additional food during the cocktail hour and reception. Another enhancement well enjoyed by our guests was the “tasty bar snacks,” this was well enjoyed by our bar drinkers who grabbed some thick cut bacon and chips when getting a cocktail.

Overall, The Pavilion on Crystal Lake and the coordinators in the CT Wedding Group made the wedding of our dreams come to life. I can’t say it enough, but the CT Wedding Group has so much care and love for the couples getting married. They show and represent organization from start to finish in the wedding planning journey. We are beyond grateful and lucky to have picked the CT Wedding Group to put together our wedding at The Pavilion on Crystal Lake.

Can’t recommend highly enough for any engaged couples out there- the property at the Barns speaks for itself, but Lexi + the whole team really went above and beyond to make our wedding day even better than we imagined. The whole team was amazing & our guests still talk about the food & drinks 2 months later!

Your wedding day is supposed to be the best day of your life but unfortunately a groom to be whose nuptials were scheduled for 4/28/24 lost his fiancé yesterday.

Even more sad is the fact that the venue has allegedly refused to return his deposit. Yes I know a contract is a contract BUT have we as a society lost all empathy? Have we lost the ability to do the right thing even when we do not have to? Instead the venue offered a Memorial Service on the day that was supposed to be his wedding day.

IDK but I cannot think of anything more tragic and heartbreaking than sitting in your wedding venue that was supposed to be filled with joy but is now filled with sadness, grief, sorrow.

Connecticut Wedding Group allegedly hung up the phone with the groom and never even offered condolences.

To anyone reading this…remember kindness and empathy never go out of style.

I cannot say enough great things about CT Wedding Group! They were there for us throughout the whole planning process, answering all of our questions no matter how many we asked.

We got married at The Pavilion on Crystal Lake on 10/22/2021 and it was PERFECT. Our coordinator Shelby was absolutely amazing and all of the staff was wonderful.

CT Wedding Group really does it all and keeps us brides at ease throughout the whole process. I highly recommend !!!!

Where do I even begin?! From the moment my husband, Brian and I went to visit the Barns (before we were even engaged), we fell in love. We literally opened the car doors and were both overcome with a sense of excitement that this was “the one”. The excitement grew from there. We got to talk with Jessica, who made us want to just hug her, but also made it a conversation and not a sales pitch. We made the decision that day and we booked a date. Being two type A, planners and over thinkers the fact this was such an easy decision is very telling.
Our following meetings were with Mary Beth- TALK ABOUT AN AMAZING HUMAN. Continued to make us even more enthusiastic about this journey. She made everything so stress free and easy with the biggest smile through it all. We were lucky enough to work with Allie next, who continued to make the planning process fun and simple (so so simple…)! We had zero stress throughout the entire process and enjoyed every step of the way (we have said how much we miss it already)! The big day came quickly and throughout it all CTWedding group provided endless emails and checkins to make sure we were never ever anything, but happy, prepared and having fun. They wanted to make sure our day was literally THE BEST DAY EVER, and when the day came, Casey Gavin really did. Her with her right hand, Autumn made the day absolutely perfect for us. From start to finish, Casey was there to make the day a dream. The way that she listened to us in conversation and then took those details about who we are and incorporated them into the night not only shows how talented she is, but also what an amazing person she is.
I can’t let this review (novel) end without highlighting the food and all of the other staff with CT Wedding group. The servers, the CHEFS and all the people behind the scenes deserve endless awards. Brian and I being HUGE foodies were absolutely over the moon with both the endless food and service behind it.

We love CTWEDDINGGROUP!
