The Lace Factory 

5.0

Deep River, CT
  • Up to 225 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Even if one didn't put their own personal touches to this space it is still stunning. So much natural and creative lighting with a beautiful courtyard for reception or ceremony. Industrial history, attention to detail and location! Covid procedures and restriction apply.

“I honestly forget if I already wrote a review for The Lace Factory, but recently I was reflecting on our wedding day and a few things stuck out that had me so thankful we held our reception at The Lace Factory. From the beginning of the planning process the team is extremely clear and communicative. I love a checklist and theirs is one that ensures nothing will be forgotten. Our guests are still sharing how gorgeous the venue was, how incredible the food spread was, and one detail I was surprised by, from my cousin who has been to their fair share of large celebrations. "The food was not only delicious, but they managed to serve such a large group and the food was actually hot!" This speaks to the well-oiled machine that is The Lace Factory and it must be emphasized that this machine has heart. They accomplished another feat of having my family and I not worry about the severe allergy of my dad, as they adjusted the menu accordingly, without us having to miss out on all the options. This carried over to assist some guests who also had specific dietary needs. I realize this sounds boring, but it is wonderful to know your guests are safe and fed and focus on the celebrating! The Lace Factory is a venue that can transform your wedding into something beyond your dreams while holding true to your vision.”

Priam Vineyards 

5.0

Colchester, CT
  • Up to 400 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $10,450

We do exquisite and unique weddings and special events. Our vineyard and winery offer world class wines, picturesque hilltop event sites, and natural beauty ideal for an unforgettable celebration. The magnificent, natural environment will enhance any wedding vision. It’s a place where you can truly unplug from everyday life to focus on and enjoy the people in your life that are invaluable.

“We were at first drawn to Priam because of its organic wines and sustainable philosophy. We stayed because of the endlessly supportive team, the flexibility of the space, and the beauty of the venue. Kristine Herrold, the site’s wedding coordinator, goes way out of her way to ensure a good experience. She even arranged a bond fire (bonfire??) for us for a private ceremony the night before our wedding!!! The only downside is that it is a “blank canvas” that required some design (especially the ceremony space). It is also a working vineyard so access can be an issue at times. All of these issues were resolved. We had the most beautiful wedding!!! Everyone had a great time!!! Especially us!!!! Oh and the wines are amazing. We’ll be back!!!”

Riverbend 

4.0

Higganum, CT
  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $25,000

Welcome to Connecticut Wedding Group's latest jewel, Riverbend—a masterpiece poised to claim its title as the state’s foremost wedding destination, with an opening scheduled for 2026! Nestled in the heart of Higganum, this venue seamlessly blends the rich tapestry of the town's industrial history with a contemporary touch, resulting in an unmatched fusion of industrial charm and modern elegance. As you step through the entrance, prepare to be enchanted by a stunning architectural marvel nestled within a lovingly restored industrial gem. Towering, exposed-beam ceilings create an expansive atmosphere, and the weathered brickwork shares the timeless tales of a bygone era. Bathed in sunlight pouring through expansive windows, every corner is adorned with a soft, natural glow, ensuring that your celebration emanates with an undeniable warmth and inherent beauty. At Riverbend, history meets modernity to create the perfect backdrop for your special day.

“We knew from the start that to ensure the most important day of our lives went off without a hitch there was no one but CT Wedding Group we trusted. Their reviews speak for themselves but first hand we can tell you they do them little to no justice(having been guests at weddings at their venues). Imagine our surprise when we were able to see the limitless possibilities of their newest space and how it completely shattered our reality of what a wedding day could be. We are lucky enough to say we are the first wedding booked for their newest venue and the sky is the limit. The renderings they provided were unlike anything we've seen anywhere else throughout this process. The vision of what the space can and will become has us more excited by a venue than we thought imaginable. Their attention to detail, earnest care to make our day specific to us, and their overall devotion to their craft is unrivaled. There is not stress, just excitement and its all thanks to their incredible team, and astounding venue. They preach that their 9-5 is the most important day of their clients lives and they take that seriously, and boy do they practice what they preach. CAN NOT say enough about this experience thus far, and as if that wasn't enough, their planning team make the experience simply incredible (and fool proof). This is not a diamond in the rough situation. They set a standard for what the industry should be and then deliver a thousand fold. We've only before seen the end result of their reputation as guests, and now as clients can say that words just simply fall short of the reality. This. Is. What. Dreams. Are. Made. Of.”

Essex Steam Train & Riverboat

  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

We make our beautiful facilities, equipment, and catering staff available for weddings, reunions, meetings, and other events. We have four beautiful indoor/outdoor event spaces to choose from, all different and unique in their own way!

“We had known about the Essex Steam Train and Riverboat from growing up int he area, but never knew it could be a prime and BEAUTIFUL location for a wedding ceremony. Not only is the setting gorgeous and can accommodate a large group (We had 180), but the cocktail hour options are phenomenal and the who doesn't love a converted train car into an impeccable Bridal Suite?! All our guests loved being able to see all the trains and then the ride to The Lace Factory for the reception was possibly the highlight for a large majority of our guests! We are train people now!”
