Banquet Hall Wedding Venues in Hartford

We and our guests LOVED the venue! It’s in a very central location with plenty of hotels and restaurants near by, but far enough from any main road We had a gorgeous sunset and we’re so grateful to have Kristen and Kelly coordinate our event. Kristen was so kind and helpful in planning, and Kelly was a joy to have with us the night of. Our guests loved the cocktail hour on the balcony and the openness of the boathouse itself. The bathrooms were very clean and we can’t recommend the boathouse enough!

TPC River Highlands was our dream venue and Pam made our dreams come to life. From planning, to the food tasting, to the day of the wedding, she was there every step of the way and was always available for questions. This venue went above and beyond to make sure our day was special and memorable.

We had such a lovely experience working with the staff at the Hounds for our wedding! From the first meeting to last minute changes, they were wonderful every step of the way!

We booked Testas for our wedding reception in October and it was the perfect day. I am a minimalist bride with no vision, no color scheme, and no idea what I wanted. Sarita did amazing decorating the venue and made it more beautiful than I could imagine. The fact that the venue offered DJ and cake made it such an easy experience

From start to finish, our experience with the Farmington Polo Club was an absolute delight. Working with Rhonda made the planning process a breeze. There was SO much I didn’t know about weddings and luckily Rhonda and the rest of my vendors came to our rescue to answer questions, quickly and efficiently. Now for the day of.. OMG I don’t know where to start! The staff, the bartenders, the FOOD and the venue itself in all its newly renovated glory… absolutely amazing. Everyone who came to my wedding could NOT and has not stopped raving about the quality of the food and the service. I really could go on all day. I’m not someone who finds it easy to be pampered therefore I was trying to take care of myself all day, but the staff wouldn’t let me! Lol All of them made sure we were hydrated (which we NEEDED as it was almost 90 outside) and fed all night long. I joked with Zaimara, who was basically my attendent the whole wedding, that she was like my guardian angel all night. The staff was unmatched. What a perfect day. All this to say, if you’re thinking about the Polo Club— Book it. You will not be sorry.

Angela is an angel on earth! Thank god for GOV’s gorgeous ceremony and reception space outdoors. It allowed this COVID bride to have the full reception of her dreams after our original venue cancelled on us. The food was delicious, including the Spumante toast! Guests actually finished their glass instead of just using it for an obligatory sip.

The Whittemore at Vyne was a wonderful location for a dream wedding. We had the pleasure to work with Adrienne and Daniel. Adrienne was very professional and courteous and she made sure our special day was seamless. She communicated and coordinated with the vendors and she was just truly a pleasure to work with. The food was exceptional, the drinks were delicious, and the desserts provided were also amazing. Thank you to the Whittemore at Vyne for the memories.

We love the Mystic Aquarium!! We worked with Ariana to plan our wedding who was incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating! We had our ceremony (in front of the beluga tanks) and our cocktail hour and reception (in the main gallery) at the aquarium. Planning was easy with so much being taken care of when you book with them such as catering, tables, chairs, and linens! Guests LOVED the environment and food, and with so many hotel accommodations and the Mystic Village right across the street for an after party and brunch, no one had to worry about transportation! We also feel very lucky to have chosen a venue we can return to each anniversary and share with our future children and family. We absolutely recommend the Mystic Aquarium for your wedding!

Simply the best. Crystal Peak went above and beyond for our wedding reception. The service was top-tier, the atmosphere was magical, and the staff's professionalism is unmatched. They handled every request with a 'can-do' attitude and made our guests feel incredibly welcome. They made the most important day of our lives truly unforgettable!

Our fall wedding at Woodwinds at Gastler Farm (September 2025) was nothing short of amazing. The food was out of this world — we heard over and over again how delicious everything was, especially the salmon, pastas, and appetizers. People actually told us it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! The Woodwinds at Gastler Farm staff went above and beyond to make the day perfect. Our wedding attendants — lovingly dubbed “the fairies” — were everywhere we needed them to be, often before we even realized we needed help. From fixing my train to making sure we always had a drink in hand, they thought of everything. We felt completely taken care of, and it let us relax and truly enjoy every moment. Woodwinds at Gastler Farm delivered a perfect mix of professionalism, warmth, and magic. We can’t recommend them enough!
