Connecticut Wedding Group

We had our wedding at the Pavilion on Crystal Lake! Everything was amazing from the food to the venue to the staff! We could not have asked for anything better than what the Wedding Group provided! Thank you so much especially to our coordinator Traci! She was amazing!!! :)

Thank you so much for an amazing wedding!! We had such a wonderful time. The food and service were fantastic! i loved that you had prepared a signature drink for our guests (which by the way is my new favorite drink :). Jonathan and Angie were both extremely helpful during the planning process and on my wedding day. You made all of my wedding dreams become a reality and I cannot thank you enough.

CT Wedding Group was wonderful to work with. They were very professional and answered all our questions. There was a wide variety of food choices and the food was wonderful. The grounds are beautiful to have pictures taken.

The Pavilion on Crystal Lake is a wonderful place to have a wedding. We had our ceremony at the gazebo and our reception there. The CT Wedding Group was wonderful to work with. They went out of their way to make sure our day was special. They treated us like family. They made the process very easy. The food was wonderful; they offer a wide variety of choices. The grounds are great for picture-taking. The beach and water are great for posing for photos. The inside of the reception hall was tastefully decorated and made our wedding feel cozy. We dropped off our flowers and centerpieces and they set everything up for us perfectly. They were always there to answer any questions we may have had and always got back to us promptly.

The Barns at Wesleyan Hills through Pavillion Catering helped me create my DREAM wedding. While aiding with everything we needed, they also allowed great flexibility with our decorators and our individual ideas and needs. Everything we wanted, we got. From the first meeting we had (with the fabulous Traci Maune), we fell in love with the venue and people. Our event staff could NOT have been better! The wait staff, hostesses, caterers, bartenders, and our event planner (Maribeth, an absolute gem) made our day even more special and all our guests commented on their kindness and willingness to go "above and beyond" to make our wedding spectacular. People are referring to our wedding as "the best they've ever been to", and I can only attribute this to the staff at Pavilion. Thank you!!!!

Working with the Connecticut Wedding Group made planning my wedding so easy. They were so helpful with everything and were very flexible with our needs. The Pavilion on Crystal Lake venue is so beautiful and was perfect for our wedding day. The food is also amazing and everyone loved it! I would recommend working with the Connecticut Wedding Group to any couple getting married. They are all so friendly and the quality of service you get for the price exceeds all expectations.

Thank you Traci, Jonathan and everyone at the Connecticut Wedding group for a wonderful wedding reception. We had our wedding at the Pavilion on Crystal Lake. Everything was perfect from the grounds, service, and food. We appreciate the Connecticut Wedding Groups energy, flexibility, and kindness throughout the whole planning process and on the night of the reception. Thank you so much for an amazing day!

We could not have asked for a better group of people and place to have our wedding. We chose the Pavilion at Crystal Lake for our ceremony and reception site. Every single one of our guests commented on how beautiful the place was, how great the food was, and how nice all the servers and staff were! We got the best coordinator out of everyone, without Mary Beth I would have had a meltdown, she went way above and beyond what we could have asked for!!!!! We loved the the wedding group only does 1 wedding per time slot so that there is someone there at all times to make sure everything you need is taken care of!! This was the first place we looked at and when my husband and I got out of the car we looked at one another and said this is it before we found out any other information! It was in the middle tier price range, but you get so much more then what you spend!! The CT Wedding Group does and amazing job at making it all about the bride and groom and ensuring the guests are all taken care of!! We loved it here so much!!!

We had our wedding at the Barns at Wesleyan Hills. This venue was great. The food was really good and there were many options available to us in terms of menus, dessert options and extras. Regarding the Barns, you can pick a 6hr block to whatever fits your wedding time needs. You are also the only wedding that day which I found to be a huge draw. The staff was responsive and helpful up to and on the day of. The Barns looked amazing with lighting and lanterns and you have the option to decorate yourself or use their services. The Barns are becoming more and more popular b/c they offer a great price, we had to wait 18 months for our date, but it was worth it. it just depends on what you prefer (we wanted a Saturday in warm weather, hence the wait). If you are looking for a rustic venue, but still want the amenities of a traditional hall with catering and great service, this is the venue for you. Our friends still talk about how awesome our wedding was :) Also the venue is close to downtown Middletown and refers vendors super close to the place which makes it easy. We had a lot of out of towners and were able to accommodate them easily in middletown.

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING! After our original venue in Maryland shut down, we decided to look a little closer to us rather than to our families. I emailed Jonathan at 10pm the night before I was hoping to view the Barns at Wesleyan Hills. At 10:15pm, he responded and made time for us to view the venue with hardly any notice. We booked the venue that week, and between Jonathan, Traci, Mary, & Angie, the rapid email response time continued throughout our 8 months of working with them.We worked most closely with Traci, who was an absolute DREAM. She took the stress out of wedding planning and made sure that every detail of our day was EXACTLY what we wanted. Her professionalism, creativity, and passion for her work are unmatched. Traci is pure sweetness & light, and I miss her.I must admit, I was a little hesitant about the wedding food since we were not able to sample everything on the menu. We were able to taste a portion of the food during CT Wedding Group's annual Bridal & Culinary showcase in January (which was wonderful!!!). 99% of what we tasted was DELICIOUS. So with that in mind, we made our cocktail hour and dinner choices for the wedding. We were NOT disappointed. Everyone raved about the food! "The best food I've had at a wedding" was a common phrase we heard among our guests. The Mashed Potato bar was the hit of the night!!CT Wedding Group was a dream come true! I almost want to plan another wedding, just to work with them again.

Traci and the team at the Connecticut Wedding Group made our wedding absolutely FANTASTIC! Without them our day wouldn't have been the best ever! We got married at the Barns at Wesleyan Hills and from the moment that we arrived until the moment that we left our reception we were pampered. Even before the big day they were always there to answer questions, help with decisions, and make suggestions. When I walked into that Barn that night, it felt magical and it was everything that I wanted it to be. I can not say enough good things about this great group of people! Thank you Traci!!

Awesome!!!!! From the first time I visited I knew I HAD to get married here!The food was awesome and the staff was the best!!!We were so pleased with all of their help and services!Perfect picture setting and great dance floor! Great to work with and very accommodating!

I had my wedding at Crystal Lake. Beautiful place for a summer beach wedding. The help was amazing. They took care of all our needs. Made our day wonderful!

Excellent! Loved these guys! Food is great! Everyone that works there is professional and very helpful. I was so happy with everything. Everyone at the wedding was so happy with the service and food!

Food was excellent! Service was excellent! The Venue is AMAZING!! We were married 8/15/09 at the Barns at Wesleyan Hills - It is a beautiful location - and could not have been more perfect! Our guests are still talking about how gourgeous the grounds and barn were - and how it was so different than any other place! Would not have changed a single thing about Pavilion s Services!!!Megan and Ben

The Barns at Wesleyan Hills and The CT Wedding Group proved to be the ultimate wedding venue that provided the best services for our big day! Every detail from the day we set the date until the actual wedding were addressed, organized, and involved as little stress as possible. The CT Wedding Group has amazing, attentive staff that demonstrate great communication and are clearly focused on making your wedding the best day it possibly can be! Our guests absolutely raved about the buffet and the uniqueness of The Barns itself, especially for a fall wedding! We would recommend The CT Wedding Group, and The Barns to anyone looking for a positive and memorable wedding experience!

CT Wedding Group is somewhat pricey, yet their food is amaaaazing! I'm still getting compliments, weeks after our wedding!

From the first time we walked into the Barns @ Wesleyan Hills we knew that this was the perfect place for us. We had our ceremony right on site with the lake and the willow trees as a perfect back drop. The barn is amazing!!!! Tracy and Jonathon did everything they could to make our day just perfect... The food was amazing, not one guest complained about anything!!! They are still talking about how wonderful a wedding it was

This place was amazing, the view was beautiful and they catered to our every need

Great value. Rustic, unique place to have your wedding. Great if you are a DIY bride and want to infuse your own personality to the site.
