MIcro Wedding @ the Butterfly Experience

Stunning experience! We had our micro wedding with just 15 guests, and choosing the Butterfly Experience in the Connecticut Science Center was our best decision. From the beginning, we interacted with Kelsey, and she was incredibly kind, warm, and genuinely invested in making our day special. The venue itself was beautiful, but what truly made it unforgettable was the level of care and attention the staff poured into every detail.

Kelsey went above and beyond, perfectly customizing the space for our intimate celebration. She listened to our vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and ensured everything flowed effortlessly, from the layout to the timing. We never felt like another event; she and the team were just as excited as we were.

Look no further if you're planning a small wedding and want a compassionate, accommodating, and professional team. We left feeling so grateful and so loved. This place will always have a special spot in our hearts!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
