Highly Recommend!!!

We had our wedding in Ballroom B at Aria and it was absolutely perfect. We had 130 guests and the space felt very spacious. There are so many amazing photo opportunities both indoors and outside, which was important to us in case of rain. The chapel photographed beautifully, and the white marble gives it a clean, peaceful feel. The ballroom has great natural light from all the windows, and the chandeliers make the space feel polished without needing much extra.

The team was so easy to coordinate with over email and phone, which was important to us since we were planning from out of state. The 6-month, 1-month, and 1-week planning appointments kept everything organized and made the process feel very manageable. Andrew was awesome!

We did not need a separate day-of coordinator because their team really has everything down to a science. They handled all the basics for setup — signage, favors, cake stand, cake cutting utensils, card box, and more — which made things much easier. Everyone we worked with was kind and professional. Our bridal attendant, Sydney, was outstanding and made sure we were taken care of throughout the day. It was clear the team knows exactly what they’re doing. Highly recommend this gorgeous venue!!

Your Venue Search is Over!

Our wedding at The Aria was truly everything we dreamed of and more. From our very first meeting with Andrew, we knew we were in the best hands. After every meeting, I always walked away saying, "Wow, I feel so much better." His professionalism, attention to detail, genuine care, and reassuring presence made every part of the planning process feel effortless. What could have been a stressful experience became something we genuinely enjoyed because we knew we could trust him completely.

One of the biggest reasons we chose The Aria was the incredible value, and somehow it still exceeded our expectations. Compared to every other venue we toured, the amount included in the price was truly unmatched. An open bar, what felt like a never-ending selection of cocktail hour appetizers, a delicious three-course meal, no cake-cutting fee, a bridal attendant, an amazing Maitre d', assistance with décor, and countless other thoughtful touches were all included. We paid around $130 per guest and genuinely felt like we received far more than what we paid for. The value simply cannot be beat. On top of that, the venue itself is breathtaking. The air-conditioned chapel with its crisp white marble and sparkling chandeliers is absolutely stunning, and the beautifully landscaped gardens and fountains create the perfect backdrop for both the ceremony and photos. Every detail made us feel like we were getting so much more than we ever imagined.

A special thank you to my bridal attendant, Sydney. She was the sweetest person and anticipated every need before I even had to ask. She took exceptional care of me, my husband Nick, and our entire wedding party throughout the day. When our cake delivery was unexpectedly delayed, Sydney and our Maitre d', Gino, handled the situation so seamlessly that we barely even knew there was an issue. They resolved everything without letting it interrupt a single moment of our day. Sydney is an absolute gem, and I can't imagine the day without her.

Our Maitre d', Gino, was equally outstanding. He was kind, patient, organized, and incredibly reassuring. Weddings can feel overwhelming, especially for families who aren't used to events of this size, but Gino made everyone feel comfortable and confident from start to finish. He kept everything running flawlessly and made sure every detail was executed perfectly.

The food was phenomenal, the bar and wait staff were attentive and friendly, and every single member of the team made our guests feel welcomed. Our friends and family are still talking about the seemingly endless, delicious food and the breathtaking grounds. Many guests said they felt like they had found a little piece of Italy right here in Connecticut.

Our wedding day exceeded every expectation we had. It was absolutely perfect from beginning to end, and we are so grateful to Andrew, Sydney, Gino, and the entire team at The Aria for making it such an unforgettable experience. We will never stop recommending this venue to future couples. Our hearts are so full, and we will cherish these memories forever.

Aria's Venue + Food + Staff = Perfect Wedding Day!!

We toured Aria back in 2024, and from the moment we saw the venue and met Andrew, we were completely sold. We toured a few other venues before Aria, and truthfully, Aria blew every single one out of the water. The venue is beautifully designed, decorated, and effortlessly elegant! What truly left us speechless was the chapel. The gorgeous chandeliers paired with the all-white marble make it such a breathtaking space. It feels timeless, bright, and incredibly special! Another huge selling point was how reasonably priced Aria is for everything you receive! A maitre d’, bridal attendant, open bar, an extensive cocktail hour, endless entrée options, flexibility with dinner service, staff setting up your décor, the list truly goes on! Throughout the entire planning process, we were lucky enough to work with Andrew, who is genuinely one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. He is funny, honest, incredibly responsive, and made the year and a half leading up to our wedding completely stress-free and enjoyable! One thing I especially loved was how Aria schedules multiple planning appointments ahead of time, each focused on a different aspect of the day (ex. one for menu selections, another for linens/lighting/rough timelines, final details, etc.). It made the entire process feel organized and manageable. Aria quickly felt like a second home to us, and Andrew quickly felt like family! On the day of the wedding, before I even walked into the building, my bridal attendant Sydney was already waiting outside for me, bringing my items in, offering me a drink, and immediately making me feel calm and taken care of. Sydney was absolutely OUTSTANDING. She somehow knew what I needed, what my photographers and videographers needed, and what our family and friends needed before any of us did. She constantly checked in on my husband and me, brought refills just as we were taking our last sips of our drinks, coordinated seamlessly with vendors and the maitre d’, and kept everything running smoothly. Because of her, the entire day felt effortless. Gino was our maitre d’ and also handled our seating chart (look up Julea Design!), and he was AMAZING to work with both leading up to the wedding and on the day itself. In regard to the seating chart, Gino was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process and is unbelievably creative and talented! He made the most beautiful suggestions and turned our seating chart into something absolutely breathtaking, it truly exceeded our expectations and was very reasonably priced! On the wedding day, he communicated with every vendor, kept us on schedule, made sure everyone knew exactly where to be and when, and ran the timing of the ceremony PERFECTLY (which was something I was nervous about since there’s no rehearsal. Trust me, you do not need a rehearsal or a day-of-coordinator if you pick Aria!). Thanks to Sydney and Gino, we truly did not have one ounce of stress on our wedding day! And the food, SO GOOD!! Honestly, it somehow tasted even better on the day of, than we remembered from the expo! Our guests are still raving months later about the cocktail hour, entrees, cannoli station, late-night station, and gelato station! Long story short: book Aria for your wedding!! Between the stunning venue, unbelievable food, flawless organization, and the kindest, most patient team you will ever work with, Aria made both the planning process and our wedding day completely unforgettable. We are endlessly grateful!!

Dream Come True!!

Aria and its incredible team truly made the wedding of our dreams. From the very beginning, we worked with amazing individuals who genuinely cared about making our vision come true. The venue is absolutely stunning, and the staff go above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfect. We got married in Ballroom A with our ceremony in the gardens, and it was breathtaking. I cannot stress enough how majestic everything is at the facility.

We received so many compliments about the entire day, and that wouldn’t have happened without the assistance of every single staff member at Aria. They are all incredible, kind, and dedicated to making sure you have the best day possible. The food was amazing, with so many options for stations and add-ons — they truly curate the perfect experience for you and your guests.

Any questions, concerns, or requests we had were answered quickly and efficiently, and we were able to do everything we wanted and more. On the day of, the bridal attendant and maître d’ were exceptional, attending to us, the bridal party, our parents — everyone — making sure we were all happy and cared for every single moment. The owners are so involved and genuinely want your wedding to be exactly how you’ve always imagined it; they truly make your dreams come true! Cannot thank and praise them enough!!!

August Wedding

We got married at the Aria in August and it was everything I had ever envisioned for my wedding. The venue itself is so beautiful. They keep everything so neat from the grounds to the ballrooms and the food was delicious. We got many compliments about the food from our guests. My bridal assistant for the day Sydney was phenomenal! She helped me with everything I needed and made me feel at ease throughout the whole wedding! Gino was also very helpful and attentive the entire wedding we had such an amazing crew with us for our day! I really could not have asked for a better venue. They made sure everything was perfect for us! Highly recommend the Aria for your wedding venue!

Ballroom B & Chapel Wedding ~ Absolutely Stunning Wedding

Ballroom B & Chapel Review:

We can’t express enough how grateful we are to have chosen Aria for our wedding. From the very first moment we visited, it was clear that this family-owned venue is not only beautiful but also full of heart and soul. Joseph, his family & Staff made us feel like we were part of their own, offering warmth, personalized attention, and unparalleled service throughout the entire process.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning—every corner is thoughtfully designed, with breathtaking views and elegant spaces that made our wedding day feel like a dream come true. From the Stunning Chapel to the perfectly decorated reception area, it was clear that so much love and care went into creating the perfect atmosphere for our celebration.

What truly sets Aria apart is the level of care and attention we received from the family. They worked with us every step of the way, ensuring that our vision came to life. Their passion for what they do shines through in everything, and we felt incredibly supported throughout the entire planning process. We were extremely blessed to be able to work with the amazing Maitre D Gino & Bridal Attendant Klea, they are truly a perfect team and go above and beyond for you and it shows, you feel the amount of care the entire time. Lina & Andrew are rockstars, and help you every set of the way, we are beyond grateful & blessed to of had the chance to work with them.

We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful or memorable place to celebrate such an important day. The team’s dedication, warmth, and expertise made all the difference, and we are so thankful for the memories we created at Aria. If you’re looking for a venue that combines elegance, charm, and a personal touch, look no further than this incredible family-run gem!

Misale Wedding 06/23/2024

We booked Aria as our wedding venue 2 1/2 years prior to our wedding date and it was the best decision we made! Leading up to the date, the meetings and communication with the staff at Aria was phenomenal. They walk you through all details and dates things are due on. Lena is incredible and extremely helpful. Aria is a well oiled machine that knows exactly how to make your wedding day special and flawless. Our wedding day was exactly that, as everything went off without a hiccup. The team and staff on our day were very helpful and cared about our day. Pier and Melissa eased any stress we had and we thank them so much! The food, service, and venue was incredible and everything we wanted! We highly recommend Aria to anyone who is looking for a venue. 10/10 experience and the place is beautiful!

I would get married at Aria every day!

Aria made our wedding day so seamless and stress free. We truly cannot say enough good things about the whole day, the look of the venue, the food, the service, and their attentiveness to us throughout the day. I can't imagine another wedding venue being as perfect as Aria, I did not have to worry about a thing the day of because I knew they would take care of everything. We both had someone with us the whole time we were there, making sure we ate, drank, and were on time. They also made the planning process stress free, we looked forward to every meeting we had with the staff throughout the whole process. I would recommend Aria to anyone and everyone, and I truly would love to relive my day there!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
