The Wake Robin hosts custom weddings, so we do not offer no pre-set packages. Instead, brides and grooms secure our location with a weekend site fee with the following key details. These are guidelines, subject to further conversation and final approval by the property.

  • With the site fee, you may bring in and serve alcohol beverages if​ fully managed from start to last guest departure by the approved caterer, whether the bar beverage service is informal or formal.

Dream location for a wedding

We had a very specific vision for our wedding venue - we wanted a place dripping with character without being overly "fancy", outdoor based wedding (we wanted a tent on the property), a venue that we could take over for the weekend (vs. bussing people in and out). We love when guests can stay at the venue, but wouldn't do a big corporate hotel. Wake Robin hit everything and more. This is the opposite of a "wedding factory" type venue. Shafin and Michael were so responsive and helpful, and kind to us. The guests loved staying at the inn - its well run, and every room is different and unique (the place used to be a school house). The setting is gorgeous - leading to amazing photos. And so many different spaces and areas for different parts of the wedding - perfect big space for the tent, a terrific backyard, a cool bar area for the afterparty, little nooks and crannies. They don't do many big full weekend weddings (like 4 a year), so we felt lucky to have found it. The downside is if you do a bigger wedding, you need to organize everything (tent, food vendor, sound, etc) - so a little more work, though their vendor suggestions were terrific, and it allows you to craft your own vision. We also love that we can come back and stay at the venue for a romantic weekend in the future. Our favorite touch of all if they have 5 flag poles on the buildings balcony, so we could fly flags highlighting our heritage (including a "wedding logo flag" we had made that all the guests thought was so cool). I'm sure you'll love Wake Robin Inn too, and we will surely be back!

My son’s wedding and the fabulous Wake Robin In

My son was married in Northwestern Connecticut this past summer and my family and the bride’s family stayed at The Wake Robin Inn for 5 days. Shaffin and the rest of the folks at Wake Robin could not have made us feel more welcomed. And they also made all of our guests feel welcomed. The Wake Robin was
like our “home away from home!” We hosted a welcome reception and a lunch at the Inn. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. And the Inn itself with its pretty gardens, big front porch, back deck and reception rooms is an idyllic setting for both wedding guests or a wedding. I highly recommend The Wake Robin!!

The Wake Robin Inn is a most beautiful setting, both inside and out, for intimate weddings of all sizes. I held my small wedding there years ago, and I am still getting compliments the event, to this day.
