My wife & I had the privilege to get married surrounded by our friends & family at the beautiful Montague Retreat Center in June of 2024. There’s a seemingly endless list of what drew us to MRC, but some key features to highlight: - Incredibly beautiful indoor & outdoor spaces - Comfortable, spacious, and accessible on-site lodging options - Flexible weekend buyout, enabling us to bring all of our ideas to life without much restriction or hurdles - Wheelhouse Catering: some of the best wedding food we’ve ever tasted in our lives - All of Montague staff, especially Jason Jason deserves his own dedicated review, but from the planning stages all the way through until the end of our weekend, Jason made himself available and ready to help. Jason referred several our vendors that made our day go off without a hitch, all of whom brought creative and personal touches that made our day so special. He consistently went above and beyond day of as well, from catching decorations that needed to be put out, to being hands-on assisting guests that needed extra help, and facilitating vendors to ensure everything was in its right place. His knowledge and general presence brought a calming energy that really helped us feel at home at MRC. For our wedding weekend (170 guests), we really took advantage of all we could at MRC. We observed first hand and heard from guests after our wedding that they felt they had plenty of space to enjoy themselves comfortably through the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. With the full weekend rented, we used every square inch that the venue offered: - Friday: Portable Brick Oven Pizza in front of the Great Hall - Saturday AM: family provided breakfast buffet near the dining tent - Ceremony: Outdoor up on the ceremony ring - Cocktail Hour: Custom Poetry and plenty of activities all around the barn - Reception: Live band with stage lighting & sound; DJ later in the evening - Saturday Night: Late night fire pit & snacks for the wedding party - Sunday AM: Bagel sandwiches from Tandem Bagel in the lower level of the barn We can’t stress enough how perfect our weekend was at MRC. Montague Retreat Center will always hold a special place in our hearts, as it left a lasting impact on not only us, but our friends and family as well. At the end of our wedding weekend, many of our family members suggested that we rent out the space for a night every few years for a recurring big family bash. We may have to do just that!

Harrington Farm was the first venue my husband and I toured. From that moment on, we found ourselves comparing every other venue that we toured to Harrington Farm- spoiler alert, none of them came even close to checking all of the same boxes. Harrington Farm’s all-inclusive package is a no-brainer: ceremony & reception venue with a massive dinner menu, individualized day-of planning, cake (with 2 bakers to choose from), coffee bar, AND a 5-hour open bar?! Count us in! The team at Harrington Farm was nothing short of incredible. From day one, Lauryn took care of making sure that all of our planning went smoothly, answered all of our (many) questions, and constantly secured our trust in Harrington Farm with handling our big day. On the actual day, Jess was the best bridal attendant I ever could have asked for. She made sure each and every one of our needs were met all night long. In addition to all of the other perks, the food at Harrington Farm is beyond amazing (you can’t say that about most venues). We especially loved the option to add the smoker to our menu items! We have received (and continue to receive) numerous compliments on our choice in wedding venue and we have to agree. If you want your big day to be 100% magical, you absolutely must choose Harrington Farm.

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.

It is so beautiful, there is many beautiful spots on the property to choose from to have your wedding ceremony. Sharon and Maria were incredible. We were originally supposed to have our wedding at on a family members property, but they pulled out on us 82 days from the wedding. With a stroke of luck they had our date available. I emailed and called on a Monday morning and Sharon called me on speaker phone while driving her kids to work because she understood my urgency. They got me in for a meeting that very day and we officially booked the venue the next day. Honestly the entire situation was a blessing. They really handle everything for you the day of and the help so much in the planning process when it comes to your decor and schedule planning. They communicated well and promptly. They were there on time and waiting for us at every meeting we had scheduled. They accommodated our schedules. I joked that although I have never taken anxiety meds, I believe that Maria is that in human form. Our wedding came together so beautifully. We were wanting a fun, and relax vibe of a family BBQ and we got exactly that. Having the covered porch was so nice for our guests that would rather conversate and chill, than dance and party. We were able to have an ice cream and pizza truck at the end of the night and they coordinated with them to set up in the right spot. For decor we literally just dropped off our boxes and went over last minute things, and they took it from there. We arrived and it was just how we wanted things and at the end of the night everything was neatly packed in the car to go. Pricing was also insanely good. We looked at many other bring your own vendor venues and non were priced as well as them and also coordinated the day for you. I would highly recommended this venue for your wedding, other large party or even smaller more intimate gatherings.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Wright’s Mill Farm! From start to finish, our wedding day was absolutely perfect, thanks to their incredible team. With March weather being so unpredictable, we opted for the patio ceremony, and it turned out great. The backdrop was absolutely gorgeous, and the ceremony was even more beautiful than we could have imagined! The photos we got were stunning. I can’t imagine how beautiful it would be when the trees are full! Brie, our day-of coordinator, was phenomenal. She was on top of every detail, quick to respond to any issues, and made sure everything went off without a hitch. We never had to worry about a thing because she had it all handled seamlessly. She has impeccable taste, and we loved that she was comfortable voicing her opinion on small details we couldn’t decide on. Curt and the entire catering team did an amazing job—our guests are still raving about the food! From cocktail hour to the late-night snacks, everything was delicious, and they even accommodated last-minute dietary needs without hesitation. If I had to pick one item that I would eat every day for the rest of my life, it would be the mini monte cristos from cocktail hour!!! The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We were never without a drink in hand, and the bar service was so efficient that there was never a line. A special shoutout to Cheryl and Chrissy, who were always right there whenever we needed anything. They even checked in with other guests to make sure everyone had what they needed for a fun night! Their attentiveness made such a difference in our day. If anything went wrong, we certainly never noticed! The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and absolutely unforgettable. We are so grateful to Wright’s Mill Farm for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!

While my husband and I didn't get married at Milliken Manor, we had the pleasure of working with Kristen and Blackwater Events for our wedding in November 2025. It was an absolute joy to work with her from Day 1. She took every wish on our wishlist and made it a reality. She coordinated a "bouquet-making station" for me and my bridesmaids and created a timeline that maximized dancing for the guests. She pulled off a Chipotle dinner buffet that my husband thought was only a pipe dream (and even made it "upscale" enough to please my mother). Last but certainly not least, she somehow got my dad excited about the planning process and navigated family dynamics like a saint. If I had it to do all over again, it would certainly be with Kristen - and this time at Milliken Manor!

We had the privilege of being the first wedding at Retreat Farm and they knocked it out of the park. The venue itself was gorgeous and the scenery was absolutely perfect for our fall wedding. The new barn was beautifully done and spacious enough for all of our guests. Sam and Jen were the dream team when it came to preparing for the day in advance and for taking the stress off my shoulders the day of. I went into my day prepared to be bombarded with questions and stressed with scheduling but Sam and Jen handled everything for us. I cannot express for grateful I am to have found this wonderful venue and for the support and positivity that came from the staff. Also huge shoutout to Pete the bartender everyone loved you!!

Okay Island

Sterling, CT
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Select services

Some ideas need time and space to materialize. Transforming an old rodeo horse farm into a creative compound for events and projects has proven to be a challenging example. Over time, thoughtful outbuildings and spaces are popping up throughout a fourteen-acre campus of oak forests and wild meadows. One hundred feet of wiggly barn welcomes experiences from intimate projects to large wedding celebrations with loved ones. Now, it’s a steady push towards sustainable, creative projects working in sync with the natural surroundings. Get out in the woods, get a little weird. Try to have a good time.

I can't say enough about how special and wonderful this place is. Our experience here was even better than anticipated. The property is beautiful and has plenty of space, and the barn is so unique and lovely. This is not a cookie cutter farm wedding venue, every detail has been carefully considered and taken care of. Adam, the owner, went out of his way to help everything go smoothly and our friends won't stop talking about how amazing it was. It was so special.

It’s been 3 months since our October wedding and our friends/family still rave about our wedding night. Glenpharmer was still relatively new to weddings and most guests had never been to the location before. The compliments of the facility were endless. Everyone was beyond impressed with the food that was cooked to perfection. The quality of the alcohol and drinks provided are far and away better than your standard venue. I’m not much of a review person, but your wedding is important so we need to give credit where credit is due. Glenpharmer knocked it out of the park for us. Thanks Karsan, Pat, Beth and the rest of the staff

Ashley was fantastic- she made sure everything was taken care of and organized. She wrangled everyone so everyone was always where they needed to be.

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!!!
