THE most beautiful and perfect wedding venue for my son and new daughter-in-law. 🙂 The wedding planner and venue staff were fantastic and were on top of everything,,, so very organized and friendly, so the bridal party and guests had a stress free and wonderful time... even during a snowstorm! The ceremony and reception there was magical! Not to mention, THE MOST DELICIOUS FOOD we all have ever had! Too bad the food is not available in any restaurants! It all was amazing! Staff and the wedding planners made the day perfect... no stress. That's hard to do! I continue to hear, every day this January from friends and family, of how awesome everything was, and we would highly recommend The Barns and Connecticut Wedding Group.

Connecticut Wedding Group was absolutely phenomenal in planning our October wedding! From the moment we began working with them, they made the entire process feel seamless, bringing our vision to life down to the smallest detail. They listened carefully to what we wanted, added their own creative suggestions, and managed everything with such professionalism and care.
On our wedding day, the team handled every aspect flawlessly – coordinating everything so effortlessly that we could truly enjoy every moment. Our guests are still talking about the stunning setup, the beautiful transitions, and how smoothly everything went. Connecticut Wedding Group made our dream day a reality, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for an expert team to create a memorable, stress-free wedding, look no further!

The moment I stepped inside the barns I was in absolute awe of the venue. It truly feels like stepping into your own fairytale. Pair this beautiful venue with the exceptional service of the Connecticut Wedding Group and it is the PERFECT place to get married. From the planning stages, to food tasting, to day of coordination, this group has perfected wedding planning. They made every step of the way easy and enjoyable. Their customer service truly puts them way ahead of other venues. Sean, our day of coordinator was fantastic at handling anything thrown his way. We found out days later that the power had gone out during our reception and we had no idea! Sean had electricians on site immediately to fix the problem and we didn't even notice. He handled the situation with so much grace and poise to not let us even have an inkling something went awry during our day. The Connecticut Wedding Group truly makes you feel beyond special. They know you by name, they ask you for your engagement stories, they always knew that Seth was allergic to shrimp and were able to make any necessary changes to the menu that we need to accommodate his allergy. The food was spectacular, our guests are still raving about it and we are still dreaming and drooling over the donuts we had. We honestly cannot say enough positive things about this place. THANK YOU CT Wedding Group!!!

The Barns at Wesleyan Hills is one of our favorite places to visit! From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with smiling, helpful faces! We recently filmed a wedding there with Sean as our coordinator and he was absolutely fantastic! He went above and beyond his role so many times making sure the couple (& us!) were happy! Throughout the day, I heard the couple and bridal party compliment Sean and the staff for how wonderful they were and how happy they were with all of the services! At one point, the bride’s dress had a little mud on the bottom of the dress and Sean was right there sitting on the floor with the bride and her bridesmaids helping her clean it before the wedding! We could go on and on but if there’s one review you should trust, it would be a wedding vendor’s review as we go to many venues throughout our season.. and ANY venue owned and operated by Connecticut Wedding Group is going to be five stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ if you’re still on the hunt for a venue, put one of their venues on your list!

We recently got married at The Barns and could not say enough positive things about this experience. From day one of touring the property all the way through our wedding day on 12/21/24, the team at The Barns was outstanding. They made the entire planning process seamless, helping us pick out vendors that matched our vision, getting us in contact with those vendors and ensuring we stuck to an appropriate timeline. They had constant check ins to make sure we were staying on track and were incredibly responsive to any and all questions we had along the day.
When it came to the wedding day itself, we could not have been more thrilled. Everyone at our wedding agreed it was the best food they had ever had. From appetizers to entrees and drinks, the culinary team at The Barns exceeds all expectations. Our day of coordinators, Mary and Casey, were the greatest additions to our day. They were so incredibly helpful and attentive to all of our needs and had our backs every step of the way, squashing any problems as they arose. They were so much fun, so kind and made the day so much better with their positive attitude.
The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and the ability to customize the space ensures you will be able to create your vision in this space.
If you're looking for a wedding space in Connecticut, we could not recommend The Barns and CT Wedding group enough.

I honestly don’t even know where to begin but to thank everyone at The Barns for helping us to have the most incredible wedding. The food here is truly excellent! I come from a large Italian American family who are extremely difficult to please and every single person I have spoken to since our wedding in December is still talking about how amazing all of the food was. The venue itself is stunning but the gem of this entire place is the planning team. The team at CT Wedding Group was there for every phone call, answering all of my questions no matter how big or small. They helped my husband and I create a truly unique and beautiful wedding. I would also like to give a very special shoutout to Nicole and Lexi. Nicole worked with us at our rehearsal and truly went above and beyond when she sat down on the bathroom floor and supported me as I cried my heart out to her. Lexi was our day-of-coordinator and was the glue that held the entire operation together. She handled some very delicate issues with incredible grace and was always by our sides. Our wedding would not have been what it was without her.

As a wedding photographer, capturing moments at the Barns at Wesleyan Hills is always a seamless experience. Every single time. The ambiance, the staff, the grounds, the food, everything is always top notch.

What is really important in wedding photography is having a wedding that is both beautiful INSIDE & outside. As much as we don't like to think about it, sometimes the weather is not ideal on weddings days. I don't even sweat it if the forecast is not looking ideal if the couple has chosen The Barns as their venue. I could shoot inside all day long in their beautiful space and the photos are just as stunning inside, as they are outside. And when the weather is ideal, you'll get the best of both worlds!

The venue’s staff is always exceptional, ensuring that everything runs smoothly throughout the event. They are always attentive, professional, and go above and beyond to accommodate their couples and the entire vendor team. It makes a world of a difference when the staff is committed to helping each other.

Overall, I can confidently recommend The Barns at Wesleyan Hills to any couple looking for a beautiful location, and a white glove experience. It's always a pleasure working there & I look forward to it every time!
