My daughter just got married at the Garden at the Hops Company and it was truly the most amazing, beautiful venue. Everything went so smoothly and the staff were amazing at making her day perfect. The venue is gorgeous and the coordinators were so great and helpful through the whole process. We could not have asked for a better event. The waterfall and gardens are so perfect for the most beautiful pictures. The tent was beautiful and we loved the large fire pit.

The Garden at the Hops was the perfect venue for my daughter's wedding. She and her fiance were looking for an outdoor, tented garden setting and it was ideal. We were blown away by how stunning the venue was...meticulously manicured grounds, with a phenomenal outdoor ceremony area--slate walkway, benches, impressive arch, set amongst a backdrop of beautiful flowers and gorgeous landscaping including a waterfall area, firepit with adirondack chairs, and grassy and gravel areas for everything from cocktails to cornhole. The tent is substantial and ample for dinner and dancing, and there is a modern bar, cocktail, and restroom building that opens up for a great indoor/outdoor flow. From start to finish, Anna was phenomenal as the manager/coordinator. She provided a great list of preferred vendors and went over everything with you every step of the way. It is amazing that they handle every detail the day of. You drop off any items that you are providing beforehand and they set everything up and break everything down for you to pick up the next day. It is so wonderful that you can enjoy the day without worrying about anything. They handle it all and are incredibly organized and friendly. Anna personally made sure the bride and groom were well attended to--she brought them drinks and appetizers and checked in on them throughout. As beer lovers, the Hops was the perfect choice. With so many beers and drinks on tap, they offered something for everyone. The bridal suite was great for getting ready and having photos taken ahead of the ceremony. They facilitated the sparkler send off for the couple at the end of the evening and it was truly magical.

We are so grateful to Anna and the entire Hops Company team for helping bring our dream wedding day to life!! We booked nearly two years out, and for any question or concern that came up along the way, Anna's responses were always quick, kind, and super detailed. On our wedding day, Anna was up and responding to questions as early as I could ask them, and was especially reassuring as she guided us through a day of on and off rain, giving us options and suggestions for the photos and ceremony that made us feel like we were in the best hands and would have the best day no matter what. We also appreciated how seamlessly Anna was able to communicate with all of our vendors and the rest of the THC team—we truly felt like we could pass off all of our plans to the professionals and fully enjoy every moment. Our wedding at Garden at the Hops was gorgeous, joyful, and everything we hoped it would be, and we absolutely recommend it to any other couples planning their dream wedding!

We had our wedding at the Garden at the end of May this year, and the day was wonderful! We are so happy we decided to have our wedding at The Hops! From start to finish, the team at the Hops was professional and extremely helpful. We hit a few bumps along the way (as that happens with weddings!) but throughout the whole process Alexia and the rest of the team at the Hops communicated and we really felt like we had people in our corner. The Garden is beautiful (and so is there new Lodge!) and it made for such a unique and amazing day. The team really helped our vision come alive. 10/10 recommend The Hops Company for your wedding day!

We can't say enough wonderful things about our wedding at The Garden at The Hops. From start to finish, Alexia and her team were an absolute joy to work with. They were all so professional and went above and beyond to make everything perfect. They made our wedding completely stress free and always making sure we had a drink in our hands and a smile on our faces. If you’re looking for a venue that’s beautiful, unique, and run by an amazing staff, this is it.

My husband and I got married at the Garden at the Hops on October 5th and we cannot express how phenomenal the venue, the staff, and the entire process was. The ceremony area is breathtaking, and the reception tent and grounds are stunning. We primarily worked with Alexia and Anna, and they were always available to answer our questions and provide guidance on the planning process. They regularly checked in with us to make sure we were on track, and they were incredibly helpful and professional. Anna was our day of coordinator, and she was there for us every step of the way throughout our day, keeping us on track, making sure we ate, and even searching through the bridal cottage for anything I needed throughout the evening. Our guests had so much fun and we received countless compliments on the venue. The Hops has a list of preferred vendors, many of whom we used and had an amazing experience with, and having a team of vendors that worked so seamlessly together made the entire experience smooth. We are so thankful to the entire team at the Hops for making our wedding day an absolute dream come true. We cannot recommend the Hops enough!

We had the BEST experience with The Garden at the Hops. Alexia was always available to answer questions throughout the planning process. The planning pod website they use helped to keep us organized as we were going through the planning. Her walk through with us a few weeks before the wedding was so thorough and really helped alleviate all my stress about how the day was going to go. On the day of the wedding Alexia and her team were phenomenal. Getting ready at the cottage on-site made everything so easy and it was a great space to relax, get our hair and makeup done, eat and take some photos. They set up the tent beautifully and it truly felt magical. There was rain predicted on the day and they were checking the radar constantly to determine if we could have our ceremony outside. We even would have been able to have it outside with their planning but we ended up deciding to take longer with our photos and the team pivoted easily to moving the ceremony under the tent and it was still beautiful. Alexia and her team checked in with us throughout the wedding to see if we needed anything and made sure we always had drinks and were fed. They’re the reason I got to taste all the food on the wedding day! They made the entire day feel stress free! The venue is beautiful and fun and we got so many comments from our guests on what a unique and gorgeous venue it was! I wish I could re-live the whole day again! I would recommend the garden at the hops to anyone getting married in CT! We might come back and do it again as a vow renewal in a few years!

I don’t have any professional pictures of the tent yet, but you can see the gorgeous gardens in this picture!

My husband and I cannot recommend The Garden at The Hops Company enough! We just had our wedding on Friday (August 9, 2024). From the day we toured the venue all the way through the wedding day, our event director Anna was responsive, helpful, and so knowledgeable. She guided us with vendor recommendations, answered all of our questions in a very timely manner, and made the wedding planning process easy and stress free. Fast forward to the week of our wedding when it looked like storms and rain were inevitable, Anna reassured us that weather can change and that her entire team was prepared for anything. They monitored the weather up until the last second and thanks to the amazing team at THC we were able to have our ceremony outside! The entire day Anna and her team went above and beyond to anticipate our needs. From holding my drink while taking photos, to bustling my dress, and helping me change from heels to sneakers, the level of service they provided exceeded all of our expectations. This venue is not to be missed! Our friends and family have not stopped raving about how much they loved The Garden. The space is beautiful, the staff is wonderful, and you won’t regret having your wedding here! We cannot thank the wedding team at THC enough. It was a perfect night!!

For anyone considering this venue for their special day, my husband and I can't recommend it enough!! Alexia, Anna, and the rest of the THC team were the most kind, professional, knowledgeable, and incredible people to work with. From start to finish Alexia and Anna made wedding planning the most easy and stress-free process. They were both incredibly responsive to any and all questions and had the most amazing vendor recommendations that helped make our wedding the best day of our lives! The day of the wedding they expertly executed the entire day of coordination and set-up. Alexia and her team seamlessly coordinated the entire day, anticipating our needs before we even knew we needed it! This team takes pride in their work and it shows in every aspect- especially in the small details. The venue itself is stunning and such a beautiful hidden gem. We have gotten so many compliments from friends and family raving about the space and staff. You will not regret having your wedding at the Garden at The Hops!!!! Best decision that my husband and I made.

The Garden at the Hops made all of our wedding dreams come true. Alexia was our coordinator and she was nothing short of perfection as a planner! She made the planning stress free and the day of was seamless. Her professionalism was always evident and her calm demeanor was so assuring. We couldn’t recommend the Hops (or Alexia) enough!
