A Literal Dream Come True
We booked the Amber Room in December 2022 and were married there on 10.13.23 and it was a literal a dream come true.
Doug (the GM) and Gina (our Banquet Manager) were tremendously professional, accommodating, thoughtful, responsive, and understanding throughout the whole planning process. They gave us their suggestions and experiences to draw from while planning and just about everything day-of was on time and went off without a hitch.
They had just finished redoing the ceremony site and it was absolutely gorgeous for our outdoor ceremony. The property lended itself beautifully for our first-look and bridal party photos.
Many guests raved about the delicious food, especially the butternut squash and the mini risotto balls.
My husband and I had a designated staff member bringing us anything we needed, and she even assisted with bustling my skirt.
The cell phone service is terrible, but they do have WiFi and that was a complete non -issue for us since it meant no one's phones went off during the ceremony.
Between the care, attention, and quality of service we received, we definitely got more than our money's worth and we are so glad we went with them for our big day. -

The Amber Room is the best venue in the Eastern NY / Western CT. There is just so much to say! Their location was very convenient for our local guests in the Tri-state area. We also had many guests traveling by plane and this location was very convenient for arrivals in NYC, travel by train with many hotels near by. Quality and value were not matched by the other venues we toured for my son’s wedding. Pricing was fair, there were 3 package choices to choose from but there was plenty of flexibility for my son and daughter in law to customize their special day. The food was fantastic! We did a buffet which the staff handled beautifully. It moved fast and efficiently. Everyone raved about the mashed potatoes! Meat was cooked perfectly. I cannot thank the entire staff enough. They were always there to help during the entire planning, the days before, with the event’s set up and during and after the event. The staff was most gracious, in taking care of the needs of my elderly mother and my 1 year old grandson … as well as everyone else. Everyone we worked with was professional and friendly. Made you feel you didn’t have to worry or stress out. And the venue is beautiful. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy. The only thing I am sorry about is that the event is over, I wish we could replay and repeat! All in all a perfect day and evening, and I truly mean that. Our guests had only compliments for the Amber Room. -

Katie and her team did and amazing job at hosting our wedding! From the very beginning, my husband and I felt as if we were being taken care of like kings and queens. The team was so attentive to us and our guests that I didn't even know when my family messed things up! The food was amazing, the hall was gorgeous, and Ashley and Katie made sure that everything looked exactly how my husband and I wanted it to look! I couldn't have asked for a better team! -

Amy Z. Sent on 12/30/2022We chose the right venue!
Everything about The Amber Room Colonnade exceeded our expectations. Katie, the Sales Manager, made sure she went over every detail of the wedding planning process and made sure all our questions were answered. Their brochure helped us stay on top of tasks that needed to be taken care of. The venue is beautiful and makes for fantastic pictures. You also have access to the site ahead of the ceremony time, so you're not having to get most done during cocktail hour, if you choose.
Not being from the area, their list of preferred vendors was also super helpful in planning our wedding. We went with a preferred photographer/videographer company that also offered a package deal with a local DJ. Our pictures and wedding video came out beautifully, and the DJ kept the energy up all night and made sure our preferred type of music and songs were played (I've been to weddings where the DJ has gone rogue with the song list).
They offer different levels of packages and are very flexible and you can mix and max (with associated costs) to really make the food choices your own. Our package came with a pasta bar during cocktail hour, but we swapped that out for a flatbread bar. The add-ons made our reception our own, and the s'mores bar was a big hit! The packages also offer plenty of choices, so there is something that all guests will like/eat. They also take dietary restrictions and food allergies seriously, and there is no cross-contamination, to ensure the safest to guests.
The food is absolutely delicious. We took advantage of having a food tasting and were extremely pleased with how well prepared everything was. Many of our guests complimented us on having a terrific meal. If serving good food to your guests is a top priority like it was for us, The Amber Room Colonnade is definitely the place to book!
We were also extremely impressed with the high quality customer service we experienced from Katie and our day-of coordinator. We were well taken care of, from having a spread for the wedding party to nosh on before the ceremony, to being brought drinks and food.
The Amber Room was also very flexible and accommodating with our wedding party's schedules for choosing a time to do the ceremony rehearsal, which was much appreciated.
My husband and I couldn't have been happier with how our special day went, a lot in part because of The Amber Room Colonnade staff. If we could do it all over again, we would absolutely get married here again!

We had our wedding at The Amber Room Colonnade over Labor Day weekend and it truly was a dream come true.
We booked The Amber Room in the Summer of 2021 and from the moment we inquired we had a wonderful experience. We met with Doug P who gave us a tour of the entire facility, discussed all of the different packages. He provided us with a booklet which was super informative and even allowed us to place a soft hold on a date while we finished our venue tours. Doug made the entire process (from initial tour to wedding night) absolutely seamless. His response time is unmatched! Doug allowed us to chose a package while also customizing exactly what we wanted for our wedding night. Anything we asked for he was able to provide. Doug even recommended a cigar rolling company and was willing to make arrangements with that so that we did not have to worry about contact another company. Doug also helped us finalize our timeline for the night and gave us insight that helped us choose what/when to do certain parts of our night.
Fast forward to our wedding which was perfect. The day of we worked with Ashley who was very kind, accommodating and helpful. Any little thing we asked for she was able to make happen. Even made sure I did not spill any cocktail hour food on my wedding dress!! Doug was able to pop in and congratulate us as well! The entire staff from bridal attendant, to wait staff and bartender were all incredible.
Our guests raved about all of the food, from cocktail hour to the late night snacks. ALL of the food was delicious and there was so much of it! We really enjoyed having cocktail hour food in the bridal suite as well so that we could have a few private moments right after the ceremony.
The set up (indoor and outdoor) was wonderful as well, every detail was exactly how we asked. And all of the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The grounds for the ceremony and photos are absolutely beautiful as well. While the venue is located near a main road, you would never know that when you are in the grounds. The Amber Room grounds feel quiet and private which is perfect for a wedding ceremony.
From the moment we came for our initial tour through the wedding night, we were absolutely blown away by how amazing The Amber Room is. We were so happy to make the drive from the Hartford area because of how wonderful this venue is. The Amber Room is the best wedding venue in CT!! -

Cayley P. Sent on 09/09/2022Exceptional wedding thanks to the Amber Room!
I cannot put into words how much my husband and I enjoyed working with the Amber Room over the past year of wedding planning:
1. Doug, Katie, Gina and team are incredible. Extremely communicative, always answer the phone, happy to help and answer all your questions
2. I didn't have to compromise on anything. I went into my wedding planning process ready to concede on certain things and the Amber Room team was able to make all those things happen (incredible ambiance, amazing food, photobooth, etc.)
3. Amber Room's pricing is extremely competitive and reasonable. I truly felt I was getting an incredible value for how much we paid per guest.
4. The day of team was amazing between the bridal attendant, wait staff, bar tenders it made for such a smooth evening.
There are probably tons of details I am forgetting, but you need to at least visit if you are planning to get married in/around Danbury. Our initial tour was like night and day compared to other venues we visited in the area. You'll be treated like family at the Amber Room. -

Over The Top
I celebrated my 70th birthday with a Masquerade Ball at the Amber Room Colonnade. Katie Bishop the Sales Manager immediately saw my vision and worked tirelessly to make it a reality. Ashley, the event coordinator and the rest of the team were exceptional. Everyone paid attention to every detail. The decorations, the ambience, the food the professionalism were second to none. Thank you Amber Room...you made my day fantastic! -

Amazing!
The Amber Room Colonnade in Danbury Ct. is an amazing place for a Wedding. My Husband Rob and I were married there a couple of weeks ago. We couldn't be happier with how everything went! First, the General manager Doug was the best to work with - he was easygoing, friendly and professional from
the start, and made us and our whole crew feel very welcome. We couldn't ask for a nicer guy to work with and anyone who has planned a wedding knows you have a LOT of contact with your venue prior to the event. All our expectations were met and then some. The entire Amber Room staff was friendly , welcoming and made our wedding visions and requests a reality. The service is spectacular and the food was outstanding, our guests said it was the best wedding food they have ever had at a wedding and people are still talking about our wedding cake. It was DELICIOUS. It was such a beautiful day for our outdoor wedding and there were so many beautiful photo opportunities.
If you are looking for a wedding venue in the CT area, this is it. No need to look further. You won't regret it!!!! The night started and ended perfectly, We are beyond happy with our experience.

Excellent professional service
The amber room was fantastic. They went above and beyond making sure our day was just how we wanted it. There were some rain showers during the afternoon and about an hour before the ceremony there was another chance for rain. Doug and his staff moved everything inside under their outdoor tent to make sure if it did rain, we would be dry. It ended up working out perfectly and we appreciate the extra effort that was put forth. The day was perfect, the food was excellent and had nothing but nice comments about the wedding days after. They really do a good job at the amber room and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!Amber Room Colonnade's reply:
Hi Kyle,
Thank you for the kind review!!! We're so happy you had the day you envisioned with us here at the Amber Room. We're looking forward to hopefully seeing you again, soon! -

Antonia F. Sent on 10/29/2019Amazing experience! Great food! Beautiful wedding reception!
We had the most amazing reception at the Amber Room. They worked with us for months to make our wedding everything we wanted it to be. The actual day was spectacular from the hall to the food to all the little touches we asked for. We had a large wedding (240 guests) and everyone raved about how much fun they had, how the food was amazing and how quickly such a large group of people were served. If we could give 10 stars we would. On the day everyone from the event manager to our bridal attendant was so amazing, they constantly made sure we both had everything we needed and even came to ensure we had a chance to eat our meals when we were snagged by family members wishing us well and taking pictures. Definetly have your wedding here. -

My husband and I just got married on the 12th, and we have the opportunity to see what our roomed looked like before the rest of the guest, and we were in awe on how beautiful our room looked! The staff was so helpful and kind, and Alisha was so wonderful to work with! It was an amazing experience! -

Absolutely amazing! From the very first meeting it was clear that the Amber Room was going to be the reception venue for me and my husband's wedding. Everyone treated us so well and at no point did I feel like anything was out of control. Alisha and Gina were there every step of the way to make sure our special day was just what we wanted. The food was incredible, our guests came up to us at the event and kept telling us how delicious it all was. One of our guests was a chef at a restaurant and he was blown away. The cake was so amazing and it was just what we wanted. Our night couldn't have gone better, and the venue was so accommodating to our eclectic and unorthodox tastes. If you are looking for a wonderful, caring staff, delicious food, and an all around lovely venue, look no further than the Amber Room. -

Katherine Sent on 07/29/2019Wedding Excellence
First I would like to say that out of all the reviews I will be posting now that my wedding day has come and gone, I take this one very seriously. We could NOT have gone with a better venue for our ceremony and reception; they cared about making our wedding day spectacular as if we were family. We worked with Doug from the very beginning and he is absolutely amazing. He embodies excellence in every way a bride and groom to be needs leading up to their wedding day and the day of. If I called or emailed (no matter how many times or how often) he was always happy to hear from me and happy to answer any and all questions. As a first time bride I had many questions and things I envisioned would be a part of my wedding day and The Amber Room Colonnade wanted us to have it all, they worked with our budget and told us exactly how we could have everything we wanted.
Now let’s fast forward some months and talk about our wedding day. Our wedding day was suppose to have terrible thunderstorms and hail, which was a disaster for a bride dreaming of an outdoor summer ceremony since before I met Doug and he knew it. He waited until the very last second before making a final call, even after I agreed to move the ceremony to a dry location the afternoon of, and decided to surprise me with an outdoor ceremony upon arrival anyway because he knew how important it was to me. I meant it when I said they want you to have it ALL. Perhaps Doug can control the weather too? Although if it were to rain there was a plan A, B, and C in place! Our guests told us and are still talking about how much fun our wedding was and hands down one of the best weddings they have gone to in awhile. I have Doug, Gina, and their team to thank for that.
The Amber Room Colonnade takes so much pride in ensuring the very best and I’m not just talking about their service, or their beautiful location, but the FOOD as well. It was OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious and our guests were trying to take every bit of their leftovers (if any) home with them; compliments to their chef! Right before our wedding day I asked Doug for signature cocktails as well, which he happily did for us; they were beautiful, tasty, and packed a punch. They are always keeping up with current food trends and their efforts have not gone unnoticed by me, my new husband, and all our guests. We loved our espresso/cappuccino station during dessert, the craft margarita bar during cocktail hour, our beautiful and delicious four tiered wedding cake, additional dessert platters, and the end of the night bacon, egg, and cheese to-go station. The quality and excellence of food provided during cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert was taken above and beyond by all the food/drink “add ons” we wanted as well. It will be a night our taste buds will always remember.
Thank you to all at The Amber Room Colonnade for making my dreams and ideas a reality and for making this process so easy that I made all my married friends jealous. Thank you as well for taking care of all our friends and family and coordinating with our vendors while ensuring that my husband and I were fed and happy all night. You all will always be remembered by us for being a vital part of the best wedding we could have ever asked for. You treated us like family and made our wedding seem like a top priority with so many personalized touches that only The Amber Room Colonnade could do.
