Our wedding was more than I was hoping for! While Priam was a little off the beaten path for our out of state guests, it made for the perfect New England setting that i could not pass up and it definitely paid off! The grounds were beautiful and the tent turned into everything in my dreams! Gloria was there to congratulate us which was so nice! We were so grateful to use her vineyard for our special day! Our guests raved about the grounds, the view, the fire pit and most importantly THE WINE! I've never seen people take so many photos of their surroundings at a wedding than they did at ours! If you want a beautiful vineyard wedding, check out Priam! Could not have been better! Thank you Priam! We'll be coming back regularly to reminisce!

Priam Vineyard

Our wedding day was nothing less than perfect, even on a rainy chilly day. I would recommend this venue to any couple. It was beautiful. And the wine is the best!! The catering company that Priam uses is awesome! I did not hear one complaint about ANY of the food. Gina from Gourmet Galley was amazing.

From the start of our time as an engaged couple, Gary and Gloria were in our corner. They actually helped me propose to my wife. Over the years of getting to know them and the staff it became clear that it was the only real option for our special day. They get to know you on a level that allows them to create something true to your love and your vision.

The wine: amazing. Rave reviews from everyone who attended. As a side note: the fact that they are truly devoted to growing estate wines rather than importing grapes from other locations really makes this a Connecticut true location.

The staff: All hands on deck. Flexible and thorough. You never have one of those 'where are they/what is going on/ moments.

Day of vibe: the vineyard is all yours. You know there isn't a later or earlier scheduled wedding that you need to work around. So relaxed. So personal.

The value: getting married in Connecticut can be expensive. I for one believe that anything worth doing is worth doing the right way. Priam Vineyards derives so much value out of the simple fact that you are guaranteed to have something so beautiful, so personalized, and so professional. We are still getting an outpouring of compliments on everything about that day.

For what it is worth: I don't believe there is a vendor out there that will do more to make your day special. A beautiful place that stands out amongst so many wedding factories with true devotion to giving the best experience to anyone lucky enough to have found and chosen them. Forever a part of our story and our hearts.

The Most Magical Day at Most Amazing Venue

We had our wedding at Priam in September of 2021, and it was everything we had wanted it to be and more. We picked Priam in February of 2019, after looking at quite a few outdoor vineyard and barn type venues throughout Connecticut. It was an easy decision, because aside from the incredible views and location, their ability, in partnership with their catering partners (Gourmet Galley in our case), to take care of all of the little things and make it a smooth, easy day was unparalleled. I was not someone who wanted to worry about bathrooms, linens, chairs, or cocktail napkins, and I didn’t have to, and the ‘standard’ options were beautiful and perfect. The other marvelous thing was how incredibly customizable our day was going to be – if I wanted anything specific, from décor, chairs, settings, schedule, etc., we could do it. The guidance our coordinator gave us was if it was legal and wouldn’t hurt the vines, it was doable!

Even through the uncertainty that 2020 and 2021 brought to event planning, the staff and coordination team was wonderful to work with, answering all our questions, providing solutions, and pointing us in the direction of some great vendors to work with. They helped us create a special and unique day that truly felt like ‘us,’ not a cookie-cutter wedding from a template. Through our rehearsal and event, the staff was friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to make it feel like a special day, between golf cart rides around the property for the perfect picture, to organizing our décor and firepit, to generally being supportive and calming.

Our day went off without a hitch, and I got nothing but compliments from our guests as to how perfect the location and venue were. It embodies quintessential New England fall beauty, and it was wonderful to let our décor be subtle and subdued to let the setting shine. Our pictures have turned out amazingly so far, and I can’t recommend the firepit and s’mores option enough. Our guests young and old loved the chance to step away from the dancing and loud music and enjoy a beautiful fall night and nice conversation.

I can’t imagine our day having taken place anywhere else, and would recommend Priam, Amylu, Gloria, and the whole team to anyone looking for a classic, picturesque setting for their special day!

We chose Priam Vineyards not only for the beautiful location, but because right from the start Gloria and Gary made it clear that our wedding would be special, and that they would do everything they could to make sure our wedding day was everything we’d hoped for. It was also clear from the start that we weren’t just another event on their schedule. Every time we visited the vineyards, whether it be to check out the layout or to taste the wines, they were friendly, inviting, and made us feel like honored guests. The same can be said of their Wedding Coordinator, Christine, who, even long distance (we live in VA), was very easy to work with. She was very responsive, thorough, and always took the time to answer any questions we had, regardless of how menial they seemed. They were also super flexible with our wedding day plans (we had a few changes the week of), and did their best to make things as easy and stress-free as possible. Both the rehearsal and day of the wedding were seamless. The venue looked absolutely beautiful and they followed our instructions for décor exactly as we’d indicated. Our guests all raved about the beautiful location and how fabulous the ceremony and reception went. It was such a great feeling to not have to worry about anything the day of our wedding, as we knew it would all be taken care of. We’ll definitely be stopping back at Priam every time we’re in town to catch up with Gary, Gloria, and Christine, and absolutely recommend Priam Vineyards to any couple looking for a unique, beautiful, and warm-welcoming wedding venue.

My husband and I got married on August 31, 2014. The vineyards offer a stunning location and what we loved most about it was that it was not like every other wedding venue. The owners, Gary and Gloria are lovely to work with and were very involved with every process. The coordinator, Christine, was also lovely to work with and very attentive. Christine, together with the Riverhouse catering coordinator, Dana, along with everyone else there that helped, truly made our day so special. Even rain couldn't ruin our day! Thank you again

Thank you Priam Vineyards and your wonderful staff for making my day so memorable! The tasting room felt cozy yet sophisticated! The wine selection was rich and spectacular! I especially liked the Westchester Red and the Blackledge Rose! Bringing home a case for the holidays. I will be back and I will recommend Priam to all my friends.

This was the only reception venue that my husband and I ever went to look at, from the moment we saw it we knew this was where the reception would take place. Start to finish it was a great experience and I was so impressed with how the event turned out. We've gotten nothing but compliments on the day and truly couldn't be happier with Priam.
Christine was a lifesaver and such a help to me throughout the planning process. She answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly and thanks to her our reception was perfection. Jeremy and I are so grateful to the entire team and are so thankful we chose Priam!

Alex & I had our wedding Saturday August 19, 2017 at Priam Vineyards and it was nothing short of amazing! We were absolutely blown away by the amazing services provided by the staff. The vineyard is beautiful and their wines are so delicious. We were very well taken care of. Gloria and Jim of Priam Vineyards, and Gina of Gourmet Galley, were super helpful, a pleasure to work with, and are just overall incredible people. Thanks again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Priam Vineyards is one of our favorite places to film weddings! The grounds are extremely gorgeous and make a lush backdrop for any event. We've seen it dressed up, dressed down and with an array of color schemes and we still can't decide which wedding was more beautiful than the others. It's really a very versatile place to get married. The staff is wonderful to work with as well! We highly recommend Priam Vineyards for Connecticut weddings!
