Cardoso Wedding 10/06/2024

Connecticut Wedding Group was absolutely phenomenal in planning our October wedding! From the moment we began working with them, they made the entire process feel seamless, bringing our vision to life down to the smallest detail. They listened carefully to what we wanted, added their own creative suggestions, and managed everything with such professionalism and care.

On our wedding day, the team handled every aspect flawlessly – coordinating everything so effortlessly that we could truly enjoy every moment. Our guests are still talking about the stunning setup, the beautiful transitions, and how smoothly everything went. Connecticut Wedding Group made our dream day a reality, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for an expert team to create a memorable, stress-free wedding, look no further!
