Mary and her team at the Colonial were amazing. They walk you through everything and make it easy to keep track of what you need to bring and what you need to do when. You can tell this is a popular wedding spot just by how streamlined they have made everything. This is a group tasting vendor where they bring in everyone for the year; however, they make the tasting fun and you get to meet affiliated vendors that you can choose to book with. The grounds are beautiful and cozy while being easy to get to. They made our day seamless. I was worried, because most people I spoke with before the wedding said to just go with the flow because something always goes wrong, and to be honest, I felt like nothing did; I feel like that's because the Colonial and their vendors really cared about making our day special.

6/4/21 was the best day of our lives and Union Station, Neil, and his amazing staff, all Played a huge role in that. My husband and I started the planning process back in 2019, our original plan was 10/2020 150 person wedding. Due to Covid we pivoted to a 20 person micro-wedding. I was blown away by how Union Station helped me along the way. Neil’s professionalism and communication was perfect. He made the absolute best out of covid. We chose Union Station for its charm, and location, I wanted a beautiful indoor setting, (the option for outdoor photos in the neighborhood are endless). But looking back I feel very fortunate that the venue had such a great team. The food was delicious and the presentation looked fantastic. My guests loved our bartender and the great drinks she made. We picked a dj that played acoustic guitar and the acoustics of the venue are perfect! Another bonus you can walk to the venue from the hotel and the town is so cute and fun our guests had lot of fun in the local bars and restaurants!!

Everything was perfect even more beautiful than we imagined. Our guests could not stop raving about the delicious food and gorgeous property. It truly felt like the best adult summer camp that we never wanted to leave.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding! We wanted a venue with history, beautiful views, affordable, and only had one wedding a day -- and we got it! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning scenery and beautiful architecture. The staff was incredibly accommodating, the bartenders were so thoughtful. One brought in mint from her garden, as mojitos were my favorite drink! While there were a few moments of uncertainty and lack of communication in the planning process, it didn't take away from the magic of the day. The outdoor ceremony space was perfect, surrounded by lush greenery and gorgeous views. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful everything was! Inside, the reception area was equally impressive, with plenty of room for dancing and celebrating. The food was absolutely delicious, and they offered a variety of options that everyone loved. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the decor to the service. Overall, our experience at this venue was nothing short of magical. We feel so lucky to have chosen this place to start our new chapter together. Highly recommend it to any couple looking for the perfect and affordable wedding venue!

Southwick is not only a great place to go for a fun summer activity, but it was also the best venue I could have ever asked for. They are beyond helpful throughout the whole process- beginning to end. Sarah is an amazing coordinator in every sense of the word. Heather is incredible at what she does as well, really loved having her as my bridal attendant. They did a beautiful job with my wedding and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Southwick!
