June Wedding

My husband and I got married at CT RVI in June 2018 and it was the best decision we could have made. The property is absolutely stunning and Pat is an incredible artist. My simple New England themed wedding mixed with a bit of her artistic flair was completely perfect in every way. I rented the inn for the weekend so the families could all be together for the weekend which was such a bonus because we all got to spend so much quality time together. There was no rushing! We arrived on a Friday night, got married on Saturday and left on Sunday and the whole weekend was so relaxing and special. Even our dog was able to be part of the whole weekend. I highly recommend the CTRVI for a wedding.

Beautiful outdoors or indoors venue

The venue is gorgeous! Perfect space for an outside wedding bridal shower or in my situation a baby shower. Covered space outside with beautiful landscape. And if it rains you can move inside, but her And Pat is very accommodating to whatever you need to make your event perfect

Wonderful venue

This venue was beautiful. Pat was very helpful and responded quickly to questions. She was present at the event. I rented her dinnerware which was beautiful and easier than getting it elsewhere. I received many compliments from friends and family about the beauty of the event venue. I would highly recommend it.

Breath-taking

Patti made my very challenging day beautiful and achievable. Patti specializes in intimate weddings. I appreciate the time she took to meet with me and tour the facilities. Patti takes pride in the beauty of her garden and her BnB. The catering, cake and ceremony was tasteful and beautiful. I recommend this inn for a small wedding or elopement. It’s spacious and you have the option of being inside or out depending on the weather. Patti makes it easy to move your given party due to incline to weather and still have the ceremony grasp a fairytale feel.

We had the most wonderful bridal shower at this lovely place! The Innkeeper could not have been more organized or efficient. We elected to have our food catered by a local restaurant, but used the Inn's dishes, glasses, and linens. We had a table in the living room for appetizers that I made but were heated by the innkeeper. They were served on a tiered tray and in batches to keep them warm. We (22 ladies and girls) sat in the sunporch room at one long connected table. We had plenty of room. The bride opened her gifts on a settee that was so appropriate facing the living room. Staff did the clean up, and we so enjoyed ourselves. Alcohol was purchased and self-served. We helped ourselves to coffee, tea, and ice tea provided by the inn. Wonderful backyard that the girls, ages 7 to 11, enjoyed.

My wife and I had our wedding reception at the Connecticut River Valley Inn in early October, and the venue was incredible. The wedding turned out fabulously, and a great deal was due to Pat and Wayne, the Innkeepers. They were incredibly accommodating, and essentially gave us free rein of the property to set it up as we wished.

In our initial meeting, Pat sat with us and provided all the info/pricing options for holding the wedding at their inn. Additionally, she had a list of all the vendors she had used in the past, and their contact information. It was extremely helpful to know all the cost up-front, and made the process run very smoothly. We had several discussions about different options, and Pat was very accommodating for our 100-person wedding reception.

The day of the event ran extremely smoothly. Pat and Wayne put in a lot of work the day of the event to make sure everything went well. They went above and beyond - even when Mother Nature did not cooperate - by finding a piece of wood and then laying a carpet across it, to prevent our guests from getting wet when traveling between the tent and the patio.

The grounds at the Inn are absolutely beautiful, and are a perfect setting for a wedding. The landscaping is stunning, and Pat has added numerous artistic touches to make the Inn a special and inviting place. We would recommend the Inn to friends, or to anyone planning a vacation or needing a place for an event in Connecticut.

My husband and I were married here on 10/12/13 and we couldn't have picked a better venue than this. It was very clean, comfortable and the rooms were all gorgeous. Patricia and Wayne were wonderful hosts, very helpful and very nice. They set up everything we needed for the wedding. The seats for the ceremony, the table and chairs for the reception, the table was decorated so nice with fall colors and flowers. The yard was beautiful and had so many flowers too. We stayed there the entire weekend along with a few of our guests and they loved it there also. They served us breakfast Saturday and Sunday morning and the food was amazing! I highly recommend this place and will be returning again.

Wonderful!

My husband and I had our wedding reception here and the day could not have been more perfect! The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The place was picture perfect the day of our wedding. There are so many great places to take pictures! We had a tent set up in the backyard and had a garden themed wedding. It felt so intimate with everyone and it was exactly what we wanted!
