The Barns at Wesleyan Hills - Middletown, Connecticut

Every step of the way this team took such good care of us as a couple and guided us in the direction of the BEST people to work with.

We had the pleasure of planning a majority of the wedding with Allie - who let me tell you, is INCREDIBLE. She is the absolute sweetest and has such an eye for detail (while always keeping budget in mind), she made the whole planning experience so easy and fun!

As for day of - we could not have been more taken care. Mary was our day of coordinator and took care of EVERYTHING. She always was checking in with me, calming me down, offering food or drinks to keep me comfortable - it felt like another friend there to make sure nothing went wrong. Not to mention - she bustled my dress for me!!! Eddy was a HUGE part of our day when it came to food - he made sure we ate everything and even delivered food directly to us at times!! Our day would not have been the same without them there.

As for the entire wedding experience - it was an absolute dream, everything about it was perfect. The food was out of this world incredible & they were able to accommodate to my Celiac and almost everything was made gluten free (and allergy friendly for certain guests). The bartenders were kind enough to learn guests names and drinks and treated everyone like family.

We truly had the wedding of our dreams at The Barns - could not have had a better experience from start to finish.

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!

Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives, and we couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate such a special occasion. If we could go back and do it all over again, we would pick this place in a heartbeat!

The staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Mary and Eddie were absolutely fantastic: both were incredibly accommodating, attentive, and made us feel so supported. Their professionalism and kindness made the entire experience stress-free.

From start to finish, we felt like we were in great hands. We recommend this venue to anyone looking for a flawless wedding experience. 10/10: absolutely perfect!

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!

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!!!

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 cannot possibly recommend CT Wedding Group enough! Last week my daughter was married at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills in Middletown and my husband and I are still receiving texts and phone calls about how fabulous the wedding was. Glowing comments about the ceremony, the décor, the cocktail hour, the entertainment, the staff and especially the food. The entire staff was outstanding and Mary, the Event Manager, thought of everything down to the tiniest detail to ensure sure my daughter’s wedding dream came true. Eddie, the Banquet Captain, ran everything perfectly. Since our guests continue to rave about it, I would like to also recognize Jeff, the Event Chef, for providing such amazing & delicious food choices. CT Wedding Group exceeded our every expectation!
