The perfect venue!
We truly couldn't have asked for a better venue. The Keeler Tavern is such a special place and the garden house was perfect for our intimate wedding - it was warm and beautiful even while it rained! Mary Ann is fantastic and was always there to recommend wonderful vendors and help us with the planning process. We had the best night ever and couldn't recommend this space enough.

Our dream June garden wedding at Keeler Tavern Museum!
Like many brides in Connecticut, I spent months and months looking for the perfect wedding venue. We wanted something intimate, romantic, and unique. Nothing checked everything off that list until we found Keeler Tavern! Keeler is what made our wedding the best day ever. It was perfect for our intimate June wedding and I still have guests telling me today how much they loved the space. We held our ceremony in the sunken garden surrounded by freshly bloomed flowers and danced the evening away in the Garden House which was just stunning with the fireplace as the focal point. I honestly can't imagine our wedding without Keeler. It was the perfect location for us. Not to mention, Mary Ann was a dream to work with and she made sure everything was handled on their part. She is so kind and supportive and will make the process enjoyable for any couple.

The perfect garden wedding venue
The Garden House at the Keeler Tavern Museum was the ideal venue for our June wedding! Everything from the beautiful garden to the newly redone bridal room exceeded expectations. The classic ballroom was a perfect backdrop for our cascading floral arrangement across the fireplace mantle and beautiful tablescapes. We also loved having our cocktail hour under the tent on the upper terrace, and guests were able to wander down to the garden for gorgeous photo ops. Keeler Tavern was also very responsive to all of our questions and provided contact info for all approved vendors, which was extremely helpful. We could not have asked for a better wedding venue, and guests are still commenting on how much they loved it 6 months later! Would 100% recommend!

Everything I Dreamed Of!
This venue was everything I ever imagined for my wedding. The whole day felt like I was in a fairytale. So happy with Mary Ann and the whole Keeler Tavern staff. Thank you so much for making my special day absolutely perfect.

The Perfect Spot
Keeler Tavern was the absolute ideal location for our wedding. It was an intimate space (max 90-100 people, we were 86 and felt great). The garden was in full bloom (June 15 wedding), we had so much flexibility, and it just all felt like a fairy tale. I loved that we could bring in all of our own vendors, and Mary Ann at Keeler was super easy to work with. The location was a LITTLE inconvenience for people coming from other places - we had our guests stayed in Danbury and others took the train to Katonah - but Uber availability made it a lot easier. I can't say enough about how beautiful and intimate this venue was and I just am so happy that we had our wedding there!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
