The Simsbury Inn

Our experience at The Simsbury Inn was nothing short of exceptional. We chose this venue because of their extensive knowledge and experience with food allergies, and they exceeded every expectation by creating a completely Celiac-friendly, gluten-free wedding from start to finish. It was incredibly important to us, and they executed it so seamlessly that most of our guests had no idea the entire menu was gluten free.

The chef was phenomenal, delivering food that guests are still raving about—many said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. We were even able to have a beautiful three-tier cake that was both gluten- and nut-free, which was so meaningful to us. Knowing the team had prior experience with Celiac weddings gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy the day without worry.

From a planning perspective, Philip made everything effortless. He was consistently responsive, answered every question thoroughly, and ensured the entire day ran smoothly. He even checked in on us while we were getting ready in the Talcott Room, which we loved—especially since it adjoins the bridal suite and made getting ready so convenient.

The venue itself was spotless, elegant, and thoughtfully organized. We appreciated that pricing was transparent from the start, with no unexpected costs added along the way. We held our ceremony indoors, and the staff did an amazing job transitioning the space for the reception while setting up all of our décor perfectly. Cocktail hour in the Evergreen Room was spacious and comfortable, giving guests plenty of room to relax and socialize.

We also loved that we were the only wedding on site that day, which made the experience feel private and special. There were so many beautiful photo locations, and the convenience of having guests stay on-site in our room block meant no transportation logistics to worry about. The option for an after party was another great touch for those who wanted to keep celebrating.

Laurie, our banquet captain, was outstanding—constantly checking in and making sure everything was perfect. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day special. They even handled all cleanup and allowed us to pick up our items the next morning, which made everything so easy.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The Simsbury Inn made our wedding day seamless, stress-free, and unforgettable.

My husband and I got married at The Simsbury Inn on 11/7/25. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue and working with Philip was so easy. He made the planning process feel so simple and was always quick to answer questions, as well as offer guidance.

The venue itself was so pretty and created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Everything was set up perfectly. All the staff and everyone who helped make the day special were all so nice and helpful. A huge bonus was that many of the vendors we chose had worked with The Simsbury Inn before, which made the planning process so much easier. Everyone knew the space well, communicated seamlessly, and worked together effortlessly which helped the entire day run smoothly.

Our favorite part of choosing The Simsbury Inn for our venue is that they also offered lodging so people could spend the night if they wanted to. We had several guests stay overnight at the inn and the rooms were wonderful. They were very nice, clean, and comfortable, which made it so convenient and enjoyable for everyone to relax and stay on-site after the celebration. Many of our guests commented on how much they loved the rooms and appreciated being able to spend the night. The bridal suite was also absolutely wonderful and such a perfect space to get ready in. I loved that there was also the Talcott Suite attached where were able to get ready. It made things so convenient. The bridal suite was spacious and comfortable which helped make it a calm and relaxing environment during a busy day. It truly added to the overall experience and made the morning of the wedding feel extra special.

The next morning we also opted to have a breakfast for all the guests who spent the night and it was so lovely. It was the perfect way to wrap up the weekend and a great opportunity to spend more time with family and friends before heading home.
I loved that all the events for the weekend could all be in one place because it was a lot less stressful not having to go to a bunch of different places.

We felt so supported throughout the entire process and truly got to enjoy our wedding day with very little stress. We are so grateful to the team for helping make our day unforgettable and would highly recommend this venue to any couple planning their wedding or recommend The Simsbury Inn if you're just looking for somewhere to stay for a few nights.

Although I did not get married at The Simsbury Inn, I did book a room block with them for the night of my wedding last month. Jeanine, the Sales Manager, was a pleasure to work with throughout the process. She was very accommodating and responsive when we had requests or questions. The hotel is beautiful, and we had many guests express how much they enjoyed their stay there. Whether your wedding is at the Inn or not, The Simsbury Inn is an exceptional choice for accommodations!

We had a small wedding at The Simsbury Inn and it was MAGICAL. The venue is stunning, with a beautiful ballroom flowing out to an atrium and outdoor patio. The staff was incredibly attentive and made us feel so special. We also had an after party here and a post-wedding brunch, which were fantastic! The majority of our guests stayed at the Inn and everyone agreed it was a wonderful experience.

We worked with Philip Vecchiarelli, who was super responsive, professional and simply a joy to work with. We had several food allergies/celiac in the bridal party and Philip worked with the chef to ensure the entire event was gluten-free. Not having to worry about food safety at our wedding was a God-sent and one we never thought we'd find. We can't speak highly enough about The Simsbury and Philip!

Patti and the rest of the Simsbury Inn team brought all of our wedding dreams to life! Patti worked within our budget and our visions to make our day special. She was incredibly responsive over the past several years of planning, and always ensured that our day would be magical. Overall, I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else!

I truly had the most wonderful wedding weekend - My wedding day coordinator was Jeanine and let me tell you, she knows her wedding stuff!! She was so helpful and had such great expertise, advice, guidance, and enthusiasm for my wedding day. Jeanine assisted me with the timeline, where to take pictures, food/decor suggestions, answered ALL my questions, and so much more. She came to the bridal suite right before the ceremony to check in and say hello (that was so special), helped bustle my dress, and carried out the line-up/introductions to the reception.

The day/timeline went so smoothly & I was treated like a total princess because they had everything handled (I was total type A when it came to the organization - but I was able to relax and just enjoy my day). Shortly after my HUSBAND and I got back to Simsbury for pictures after our ceremony at St. Mary's Church, we were greeted by Lori & another waitstaff (Chelsea? - sorry I suck at names!!) with champagne and horderves who waited on us the whole time. Following us around helping with my dress, serving us much needed food/drink, assisting the videographer/photographer and just positive/fun attitudes! I didn't expect this at all, such a bonus! All my vendors communicated effectively with the Simsbury staff and worked together nicely.

I believe we ended up having around 150-155 (invited about 185)people actually attend and there was plenty of room and guests felt comfortable. It is such a beautiful venue, I can't say enough about that, beautiful spacious Talcott Room for getting ready and the bridal suite, Evergreens Room for rehearsal dinner & cocktail hour, of course the Laurel Ballroom for the reception/brunch the next day. I believe the only small tiny issue we had was the security guard ending the party a bit too early - possibly due to a variety of factors including communication - regardless it didn't ruin the weekend.

The cake was gorgeous - and everyone raved about how delicious and unique it was (Guinness chocolate toffee cake), I'd highly recommend that one!! Overall, Simsbury has great packages that have a lot included to make wedding planning effortless, magical, and a great weekend for guests. We are all still talking about it & everyone raves about how much fun they had. Such a great time, a big thank you to Jeanine and the staff at the Simsbury Inn!!

I recently had my wedding reception at the Simsbury Inn. From the beginning of signing our contract in 2019 to rescheduling our date from 2020 to 2021 due to COVID-19, they were a pleasure to work with. They did not charge a rebooking fee and they did not increase any of the prices that we had originally agreed upon. From the appetizers, dinner and the wedding cake, the food was delicious. Our guests commented on how wonderful the food tasted and how attentive the staff were to every need. Many of our guests also used the Inn to stay overnight and we hosted a brunch the next morning. If you are looking for an elegant, classy venue for any event, I highly recommend the Simsbury Inn. Thank you to Patti and her staff for making our special day so memorable and stress free!

Planning a wedding during normal times can be a stressful task, but planning a wedding during a pandemic is a new level of panic! We had booked our May 2021 wedding at The Simsbury Inn back in the Fall of 2019. We had looked at a few different venues, but knew when we got there that the location, price, and charm of the Inn was so perfect for us. Patty made the process of booking seamless and answered all of our questions and was very responsive. As things were progressing during the pandemic, Patty kept us up to date on what things were looking like and what the situation was – even when the Inn was closed during the winter before our wedding! Things were changing on a daily basis, but Patty and the team assured us that they would work with us no matter the circumstances. At the last hour in March, we were permitted to move forward with a 100-person guest count and planned the perfect day. From the accommodations, to the waitstaff, to the day-of coordination, the Simsbury Inn team couldn’t have done a better job and we can't thank them enough. We can’t wait to come back each year on our anniversary for a getaway and nice dinner!

Jeanine and the staff at the Simsbury Inn are wonderful. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the rooms, ballroom and restaraunt was. Jeanine was so on top of everything and the day ran so smoothly. I would highly reccomended this venue to anyone!

We had our ceremony and reception at The Simsbury Inn on 09/28 and it was everything we had hoped for and more! Our wedding coordinator Jeanine was amazing in helping us put the day together and having it run smoothly. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how delicious all of the food was. The hotel is beautiful, with classic New England charm and character! Loved every second of our day there!
