The best venue!!!!

I can not say it enough but thank you to the all the employees at Wrights Mill Farm!!
We wanted a barn style wedding and this was the first venue we looked at and fell in love with it. From the ceremony spot with the water fall to the reception hall we loved everything about it!! Curt and Bri were great the made to process stress free!!! If something did go wrong I had no idea if it did. Cheryl was absolutely the best!!!!! She literally was always there when we needed something with the reception. She always made sure me and my husband had a full drink no matter what! She was the best. The whole crew was awesome they also always made sure we had what we needed!

Gorgeous venue, was perfect for our wedding!

Wrights Mill Farm is gorgeous, we had so much fun having our wedding there! The ceremony site is a short walk from the main building, in the woods next to a cute waterfall - we lucked out with a nice sunny day and everything was beautiful!! The team at WMF was very professional and helpful, the food was excellent, and everyone had an amazing time!

A Dream Come True

We had our October wedding at Wright's Mill Farm and it was truly an amazing experience. Brie and Curt run an amazing venue and do an incredible job at bringing your vision to life and putting you at ease throughout the planning process. Krissy and the whole catering team did a fantastic job with the cocktail hour and reception, and all of the food was top-notch. Mark from Upbeat DJ had the perfect soundtrack for the whole day, from the ceremony to the last dance of the night. The whole staff went out of their way to make sure we felt right at home at Wright's Mill. The on-site house was a game-changer and a great setting for the bridal party's hair and make-up prep. All of our guests were in awe of the venue, from the beautiful outdoor ceremony space to the reception space in the barn. The horse-drawn carriage made our big day feel like even more of a fairytale. The team at Wright's Mill is the best and they helped us make memories that will last a lifetime.

My daughter got married on August 2 at Wrights Mill Farm. I want to thank Curt and Bri for accommodating me and my family. The new house on the property is beautiful, we enjoyed our stay. Krissy was wonderful and so helpful throughout the night! She really is the best and made the experience perfect.

Best,

The "Perfect"Place

My daughter had her wedding here on May 3, 2025 and let me say there is no better venue for your special occasion. As soon as you drive in you see the beautiful building and wrap around deck, and expansive patio. As you enter the front doors you see just how open and beautiful the venue is. We were greeted by the staff who were very courteous and helpful. A special shout out to Cheryl & Krissy who made the entire event an awesome experience. They were always there to answer questions, serve you food & drinks and even a side show of dancing with a smile while wearing a serving tray on her head. The food from the apps to prime rib, chicken, salad & tortellini were top notch and served hot and full of flavor. The DJ also played a great variety of music that had the crowd up & dancing all night.
The only sad part was 10pm came and we had to leave this wonderful event. If you are looking for a venue to host your party this is the place, you will have NO REGRETS!!!

Expectations Surpassed!

Bri and Curt knocked it out of the park! Wright's Mill was the first venue we toured and we fell in love immediately. I made the deposit over the phone on our drive home! It's tucked away in the quiet serenity of northeastern CT and is surrounded by woods and beauty. Throughout the two years of planning, anytime I had questions Bri and Curt responded promptly and were accommodating with requests. Bri was instrumental in setting up day-of and I really appreciated her attention to detail. She also talked me off the ledge when I realized I forgot an important piece of decor at home during the rehearsal so Bri, thank you for that! We rented the house on site and it was the perfect space for getting ready with a large group. It was a perfect October day (sunny, not a cloud in the sky and a high of 62 degrees) and the outdoor ceremony space nestled in the woods was straight out of my wedding dreams! As for the reception, I'm not exaggerating when I say SO many of our guests complimented the food, the service, and the cake/cupcakes! Special shoutout to Erin with Chocolate Rose Bakeshop too, she created the most beautiful cutting cake and cupcakes for us and was included in the venue package! I would recommend this venue to anyone who is interested!

Amazing!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Wright’s Mill Farm! From start to finish, our wedding day was absolutely perfect, thanks to their incredible team.

With March weather being so unpredictable, we opted for the patio ceremony, and it turned out great. The backdrop was absolutely gorgeous, and the ceremony was even more beautiful than we could have imagined! The photos we got were stunning. I can’t imagine how beautiful it would be when the trees are full!

Brie, our day-of coordinator, was phenomenal. She was on top of every detail, quick to respond to any issues, and made sure everything went off without a hitch. We never had to worry about a thing because she had it all handled seamlessly. She has impeccable taste, and we loved that she was comfortable voicing her opinion on small details we couldn’t decide on.

Curt and the entire catering team did an amazing job—our guests are still raving about the food! From cocktail hour to the late-night snacks, everything was delicious, and they even accommodated last-minute dietary needs without hesitation. If I had to pick one item that I would eat every day for the rest of my life, it would be the mini monte cristos from cocktail hour!!!

The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We were never without a drink in hand, and the bar service was so efficient that there was never a line. A special shoutout to Cheryl and Chrissy, who were always right there whenever we needed anything. They even checked in with other guests to make sure everyone had what they needed for a fun night! Their attentiveness made such a difference in our day.

If anything went wrong, we certainly never noticed! The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and absolutely unforgettable. We are so grateful to Wright’s Mill Farm for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!

Wright's Mill, WMF, the unstoppable crew up in Canterbury....I could go on & on about how wonderful the owners & staff are. Whether they are the main family running the venue, or the rest of the group working for them, you'll never feel anything short of welcome there. They go above and beyond for their couples & the energy is contagious. I'm lucky to have become a part of their "farmily" and cannot recommend them enough.
