My husband and I had our wedding reception here a week and a half ago, and have nothing but great things to say about Bond Ballroom. First, the venue is absolutely gorgeous, with an incredible view of the Capitol building, a huge dance floor, and vintage charm. They offer a private food and cake tasting for 4 people, with full portions of the hors d’oeuvres and meals. We thought the food was amazing after our tasting, and it did not disappoint on our wedding day. We have had several friends and relatives tell us the filet mignon was potentially the best they’d ever eaten! You really can’t go wrong with any of the food options. The cake, also baked by their chef, was out of this world - we also had several guests say it was in their top 5 (and it’s in my top 3)! Nina was amazing as well, answering questions in the year leading up to the wedding and serving as a day-of coordinator. She is well respected by all our vendors, and has connections with awesome vendors should you need recommendations. Nina helped put us at ease throughout our planning process and made our reception run seamlessly. I am already trying to find a way to host another event at Bond Ballroom because we all loved it so much!

Just had my wedding there and everything was amazing! Was worried the venue was too large for my 125 guests and nina and her crew made the ballroom look stunning. She was very accommodating and easy to work with. Had the upstairs set up beautifully for my bridesmaids and I. Some of the Little touches were really nice. The chapel looked great, apps and drinks were on point for cocktail hour. She even helped us last minute get a shuttle for pictures. Had an evening wedding lights, colors, food was great. I’d highly recommend this venue for your big day!

Words can’t describe how amazing our experience was at the Bond Ballroom. From our first tour of the Ballroom to planning and of course the wedding day it was truly a magical experience that will forever be remembered. The service was outstanding and any questions I had were answered and clarified and the professionalism was excellent! Don’t think twice about booking your wedding day at the Bond Ballroom. I would have relived my wedding day over and over again because of our amazing experience!

Our wedding at the majestic Bond Ballroom was nothing short of the perfect wedding day for my husband and I. The venue exceeded our expectations at all points, including service, food, convenience and aesthetic. The classic, elegant, vintage (in all the right ways) ballroom itself was enough to sell us on hosting our reception there, and Nina and her team continued to impress us throughout the planning process and the wedding day itself with their flexibility, collaboration and organization.
If you are looking for a jaw-dropper venue with all of the conveniences of one-stop venue, the Bond is an excellent choice. The venue includes the ballroom itself, a gorgeous and comfortable bridal suite, an elegant cocktail room adjacent to a newly designed chapel, all within a hotel for the convenience of you and your guests. My bridesmaids and I got ready in the bridal suite, which was more than enough space for all 8 ladies and I, moms and the salon between the suite itself and the mezzanine level above the beautiful ballroom. Our cocktail hour in the cocktail room seamlessly transitioned into our reception in the ballroom. We even capped off the weekend with a day-after breakfast in the cocktail room, where Nina and her team had carefully arranged our centerpieces from the night before.
We have heard consistent feedback from our guests, that we agree with wholeheartedly, that the food was amazing. The chef created unbelievable plates for our guests, along with an array of amazing appetizers at cocktail hour, and delicious cake and desserts during the reception. The menu options and add-ons are diverse, allowing you to customize to your tastes and style.
If you're looking for a classic, city-chic ballroom wedding venue with convenience, professionalism and a delicious menu, the Bond is for you!

The best decision we made when planning our wedding was to choose Bond. Bond provided us with the most special and magical day of our lives. Nina and her team worked tirelessly to make sure everything was just right for our big day. Bond made us feel special from the initial booking, through our private tasting and the whole planning process. Bond continued to make us feel incredibly special through our wedding day with so much attention to detail and extra touches for the event.

Bond also provided us with convenience. We wanted an all in one venue. We ended up receiving countless compliments from our guests of how smooth and easy the day felt by having everything at Bond. The distinct spaces within the same building, including Chapel, Cocktail Room, Ballroom, Bridal Suite and hotel rooms, was amazing. Nina and the team worked especially hard to get the new Chapel opened and looking beautiful for our wedding this past May. We were thrilled with the top floor Ballroom for our reception. The view of Hartford towards Bushnell Park, the Capitol and the Arch was magnificent. The chandelier, high ceilings, large dance floor and historic setting were stunning. The large dance floor stayed full all night. We went with one of the Bond’s preferred vendors Audio Media Solutions as our DJ and event lighting which worked perfectly for us.

The staff, chefs, and bakers for the Bond team were wonderful. All of the food was incredible. The cake looked elegant and tasted delicious. The oreo buttercream filling was a big hit! The bar was incredibly stocked and many of our guests noted how friendly the bartenders were to them through the evening.

We wish we could relive our wedding day again and again. If we could do it again, we would choose Bond. We are so grateful for the day that Bond gave to us. Book your wedding at Bond to have a convenient all in one venue with gorgeous distinct spaces and a team of hard-working, kind and fun professionals.

After many years of enjoying the venue it is nice to see that they continue to improve the room and consistently have great service and food.

My daughter and son in law had their wedding reception at the Bond Ballroom in October of 2018. It was an incredible night! The venue is magical! The ballroom is beautiful and the views are breathtaking - such an incredible backdrop for a wonderful night. Nina and her staff were on hand from the beginning of the planning to the last minute of the reception. Nina, Annie and Michael were phenomenal. Professional, but kind, caring and fun at the same time! The food was absolutely delicious - from the appetizers, entrees, sides to the cakes and desserts -incredible- compliments to the Chef!! We received so many compliments on the entire night - it went by far too quickly! Thank you Nina and everyone at Bond for a once in a lifetime night!

Bravo. A majestic ballroom, great views, delicious food and a staff that went above and beyond our expectations, all came together to create a magical night for my daughter’s sweet sixteen celebration. Our guests were amazed at the splendor of the room and spacious dance area while also highly complimenting the food. Event director Nina was very resourceful and accommodating. I highly recommend The Bond Ballroom for any celebration.
