We wholeheartedly recommend the Madison Beach Hotel in Madison, CT. My husband and I have been parents of the bride 3 times and, while we've had fairly good experiences in the past, no other venue measures up to the Madison Beach Hotel. And I mean in every way! From the early planning phase and expert advice from Amanda Toner and Lisa Freund over the last few months to the actual event in early October, with Heather showing us the way – all was extremely professional. Heather was at our elbows for the rehearsal and during the entire evening of the actual wedding showing us where to be, when to move, and granted every wish and need we had through the event. The wedding ceremony, the glorious setting, and the wonderful dinner afterwards were all perfect. We had family members attending from all over the country who, to a person, said how helpful the hotel staff was for the whole event, as well as during their room stays and meals at the hotel. Most of these people are world travelers with extensive experience abroad, so their comments meant a lot. The venue itself is lovely and peaceful, with every room looking upon the sea. Most of our guests mentioned that they’d had their best sleep in months in their individual rooms. My husband and I are local and occasionally have dinner at the restaurant so we knew the venue and setting on the shore would be spectacular; however, we have never had the occasion to stay overnight before this week. We were a bit worried about how our 18-month-old granddaughter was going to deal with sleeping in a strange room with us, but everyone was so kind and helpful that we really enjoyed our time. In the future when we have guests that we can't fully accommodate in our home, we will place them at Madison Beach Hotel. As stunning as the venue is, it is the staff that really made this entire wedding a success for everybody. They were all fantastic!!

We couldn’t have asked for a more magical wedding year. If you want something special for your wedding day, the MBH is where you need to host your wedding. My husband and I were treated like king and queen from the very first venue tour to currently where we feel like part of the MBH family even after our wedding day. The customer service at this venue is truly above and beyond (think Disney world quality) which sets this venue apart from the rest 100%. Our guests cannot get over how perfect our wedding day was.
Your included wedding planning professionals - Lisa, Heather and Amanda will make every moment a breeze and fun. They are so SO good at what they do.
The food… GREAT, the drinks… STRONG, the wedding flow… PERFECT (because of Heather- I’m convinced she even made the rain stop right before our ceremony began), the atmosphere… obviously, you can’t get anything prettier than this in CT.
We loved every single second of our wedding day. Thank you MBH for being such a perfect start to the rest of our lives!!
-Marisa and Joe (June 16, 2023 wedding)

We did some things differently but you listened to exactly what we wanted and it really was the best day/night ever. Everyone at the hotel was so amazing to us and every guest keeps raving about the location, food, and staff. From the valet being the best ever, to the bartenders being so happy and helpful, I could go on and on.

Heather and Val took extra care of us and it was so comforting to have someone close by. I really didn’t think some of the details would matter but every little thing you all did made it amazing. I would turn around and someone was there if I needed something. The place looked amazing and so special.

It’s didn’t feel like a typical venue and was so special. We will definitely be back for anniversaries.
