A dream rustic and romantic wedding location.

We did the exclusive weekend and were very pleased from beginning to end. Carl and Nancy have a genuine kindness and hospitality that made us feel at ease from the moment we met them. Their uplifting, positive personalities added so much to the weekend. Kathy was on top of everything, especially with our vendors, quick to respond to questions, and helped make things run smoother. The farm has incredible views, filled with picture perfect scenery everywhere you turn. Diana and the rest of the team at the farm do an amazing job keeping the property and gardens looking beautiful. I highly recommend this place to any couple looking for a down to earth location and caring venue coordinators.

The best place to get married in Connecticut

Candlelight farms is an incredible venue but the team is what makes it out of this world. Starting with the location, it is just breathtaking. It’s a working farm that is meticulously maintained with a little bit of everything you could want on property. There’s the charming, historic inn; the gorgeous gardens surrounding the inn and the “lower farm”, mountain views in the background; the pond on the way to the hangar which offers stunning scenery, and then the hangar itself offering a rustic - yet romantic with the beautiful lighting - spot. So many of our guests commented on just how beautiful the property was!

Then there are the people who truly make this place the dreamiest place to get married. Diana knows the farm inside out - she seemed to be in every place at once. She helped us put together the arch, directed us to what we needed while we were getting ready, and overall was incredible. Nancy is a gem and wonderful person to just be with. She was so accommodating from the start and had great recommendations to help us identify top notch vendors. Nancy was available to answer any questions we had promptly!

Finally, Nancy has curated a ‘Pinterest room’ which is a large storage room full to the brim with decor including signs, table numbers, vases, glassware of all types (hurricane candle glasses, bud vases, mason jars, colored glasses, tea lights/votive glasses), candles, card boxes, flower girl baskets, table runners, and even some florals. This was a huge help to be able to decorate without spending a small fortune on items we wouldn’t use again!

If you’re looking for the most beautiful venue, views, and the kindest people, Candlelight Farms is your spot!

Great experience!

Nancy, Kathy, and Carl helped make our wedding such a success! They have the most amazing property and has wonderful suggestions for vendors who often do weddings there.

Dream wedding!

I don't even know what to say... Candlelight is a dream come true!! My wedding was magical, stunning, and stress free. Nancy and Carl own a gorgeous farm and the Hanger was exactly what I always pictured my wedding reception to look like. Nancy helped me throughout the process by giving me suggestions for vendors and always answered any questions I had. I am so sad my wedding is over but I am blessed and grateful for everything Nancy did to make it absolutely incredible.

Perfect Weekend at The Farm

Candlelight Farms was the perfect venue for our June wedding. Even before the weekend, Nancy and Kathy were extremely helpful to make sure everything was organized and ready to go for our wedding day. All of the bridesmaids had a delicious breakfast at the Inn while doing hair and makeup and Nancy was extremely accommodating in getting anything and everything we needed! The views and the ambiance at the Farm are absolutely stunning and we couldn’t have asked for a better backdrop for our day. The large property can be used in many different ways - we had the groomsmen get ready in the Clubhouse and also hosted our after party there to wrap up the night with some s’mores by the fire pit outside. We highly recommend Candlelight Farms for your perfect wedding weekend and we couldn’t have imagined getting married anywhere else! We’ll definitely be back to the Inn to celebrate many anniversaries.

Pure magic!

Quite simply, our wedding on 5/28/23 at Candlelight Farms was the absolute best day of our lives! From the moment we stepped foot onto the farm on our first visit to the venue visits and final walkthrough to the wedding day and the post-wedding clean up, the team at Candlelight Farms has been beyond generous and helpful, but also so loving and invested in our day. Their coordination and communication with us and vendors made the day seamless. We had gorgeous weather and the farm venue was just magical - flowers blooming, beautifully maintained grounds, and every special little touch that the farm brings. To be able to get ready with all of my girls in the inn and celebrate the whole day away, made it an all inclusive experience. I would get married here every weekend if I could!

Better then I could have ever imagined!

I don’t even know where to start when describing Candlelight Farms Inn. The farm is beautiful and the location is incredible! Nancy was beyond amazing to work with! She made me feel so special on my big day! We started out our weekend in the lower barn for rehearsal dinner and it was decorated perfectly. My bridesmaids and I and the moms all stayed at the inn over night before my wedding day. The rooms were clean and cozy, we woke up and had breakfast waiting for us. I loved waking up feeling like I was at home rather then in a hotel room. Hair and makeup we’re able to come right to us in the morning and we never felt rushed. We used both locations of the farm for our wedding day, the gardens behind the inn for or ceremony and cocktail hour, the views were stunning! And we used the hangar for our reception. The hangar was so beautifully decorated, it was the fun, country, rustic atmosphere that was exactly what we were looking for. I can’t thank nancy and her husband Carl and their team enough for everything they did for us on our big day! My day was truly perfect and was everything I wanted it to be!

October 3rd 2021 Sunday Wedding

The farm is absolutely stunning! We rented the farm portion of the venue, there is also the hangar portion as well. Nancy showed us around, and it was the first time seeing a venue, and we knew it would not get better than this. The views and landscape is unbelievable, captivating, and there's an area for bridesmaid and groomsmen to get ready on site. We got married between the 2 birch trees, Nancy is so helpful, sweet, attentive, and gets back to you with any questions, and allays your anxiety on your big day. We used the deck for cocktail hour, and put a sailcloth tent next to the deck, so people could go in and out if they get cold. It was the most magical day, and everyone could not stop telling us what an incredibly beautiful venue Candlelight Farms Inn is. Every picture you take there is instagram-worthy, there's just too many places to take photos. Thank you everyone at Candlelight Farms Inn for making my dream wedding come true. I love you all, and will have to come back and visit for a picnic!
