The Connors Center

Our wedding at the Connors Center was the best day ever! From being married in the garden to cocktail hour on the terrace to the sailcloth tented reception everything went perfect! Jean’s team is the best and made everything so incredibly perfect! We could not have asked for a better venue to work with!

The best wedding decision I made (aside from marrying my husband!) was to get married at the Connors Center. My wedding was on June 10 and I HAD to write a review as soon as possible because I am still smiling ear to ear about how wonderful everything was. The venue is absolutely stunning and my guests were in awe - pictures just don't do it justice. You need to visit to get a sense of just how incredible it is! There are countless beautiful places to take photos and the stone, ivy, and numerous gardens makes the place look straight out of a fairy tale. One thing we loved about the venue was that we could completely customize everything about the wedding - from the caterer to the tent and everything in between. (Although if you're the type who prefers not to make those decisions, they can make that part easy. We just happen to be very type A!) We had a lobster bake rehearsal dinner in the pavilion- complete with lawn games- and loved that our guests could stay at the venue to participate in all the festivities, from the rehearsal to getting ready in the Sun Parlor (plenty of space for 12 of us to get hair/makeup done), to the actual wedding, after-party in the hospitality suite, and brunch in their dining room the next day. The ceremony took place in St. Cecilia's Garden, with cocktail hour indoor/outdoor, followed by a tented reception. The staff at the Connors Center were wonderfully attentive, patient, and tremendously helpful every step of the way with recommendations, planning, running the rehearsal, and ensuring everything went smoothly on the actual wedding day. We considered hiring a day-of coordinator but didn't end up needing to because Susan and Jean went above and beyond. They could not have been more wonderful to us, and we remain forever thankful in their help attaining our dream wedding!!! Lastly, as nostalgic BC alum, it was extra special knowing that our venue was part of our alma mater. You won't regret having your wedding at the Connors Center.

Classy. Elegant. Enchanting. Special. The Connors Center is more than even those words can adequately describe. We feel so happy and lucky to have been able to become husband and wife in this place. Jean Drum and her team made our vision for what we wanted for our wedding day come true. From our first meeting with Jean, we knew that we would be well taken care of because of her attention to detail, patience, calm demeanor, and supportive nature. She was always available to reassure us, offer excellent vendor suggestions, and answer our many questions. We are so grateful for her and our wedding would not have been possible in the manner we wanted it to be without her. We wed in St. Ignatius Chapel in the presence of our immediate families (15 people total). The space is so open, clean, and fresh that the only decoration needed was a tall floral piece to go in front of the altar. The floor to ceiling window behind the altar adds perfect light and natural beauty which flooded the space, even on a rainy day. The grounds offer so many places for amazing photos to be taken and we utilized all of them! We took "first look" photos at the Garden of St. Cecilia, family photos in the arches, and used the Main Parlor for dinner. The architecture and stonework offers the perfect backdrop for incredibly artistic and beautiful photos. It's a photographer's dream! The female members of the wedding got ready in the bridal suite, which was comfortable and spacious. The male members of the wedding used the game room and loved watching sports and playing with the games. The Main Parlor with the hidden book case, tall ceilings, wooden wainscoting was such an elegant place to have a formal meal. After the wedding guests departed, we sat as husband and wife by the fireplace to soak in the entire perfect day. The Connors Center took care of us and we feel so blessed to have started our new lives as Mr. and Mrs. there.
