    Misale Wedding 06/23/2024

    We booked Aria as our wedding venue 2 1/2 years prior to our wedding date and it was the best decision we made! Leading up to the date, the meetings and communication with the staff at Aria was phenomenal. They walk you through all details and dates things are due on. Lena is incredible and extremely helpful. Aria is a well oiled machine that knows exactly how to make your wedding day special and flawless. Our wedding day was exactly that, as everything went off without a hiccup. The team and staff on our day were very helpful and cared about our day. Pier and Melissa eased any stress we had and we thank them so much! The food, service, and venue was incredible and everything we wanted! We highly recommend Aria to anyone who is looking for a venue. 10/10 experience and the place is beautiful!

    Aria was unbelievable in the best way

    Aria really delivered the best wedding we could have hoped for. All of the staff from the coordinators to the bridal attendants were phenomenal. They really helped the entire day come together! The food was delicious and it’s just a beautiful venue with reasonable pricing. So happy with our choice!

    A dream come true!

    I rarely write reviews but boy does Aria more than deserve a review.... Aria hosted our wedding in November 2021. Where do I begin... Starting with Lina, whom we worked with while planning our wedding. She was so sweet and accommodating. She worked with us through each step. She was considerate of what we wanted and really made our day super special.

    The food... Guests CANNOT stop talking about our cocktail hour and main dishes. My husband is not such a fan of the filet mignon... he said it was the best he's had... I had the salmon, it was delicious. All of our guests cannot stop raving about the food.

    The venue--- needless to say, absolutely breathtaking... Every inch of this place is a dream! Just stunning.

    The service was outstanding. The waitstaff, bridal attendant and maitre D-- just the absolute best. So attentive to all of our needs and the guests.

    I wish I can relive this day over and over again. Thanks to Aria for a making this a fairy tale come true. My husband and I are so grateful and appreciative of everything. We will definitely use Aria again and again and again.... Thank you to all. I wish I remembered everyone's names... but as you can imagine; so many emotions on that day. I apologize but the entire team is absolutely incredible. Not enough great words I can say about Aria and the staff. Simply incredible :) XoXo- Diana & Mario

    Amazing venue all around!

    From the moment we got engaged, my fiancé and I knew that we wanted our wedding at Aria. The entire staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating for us as we navigated through postponements and the general planning process. Lina was the most kind and helpful guide to have as we decided on food, timing, and ceremony options. Our guests continue to rave about both the quality AND quantity of food that we had. We continue to have our guests tell us that it was the best meal they’ve had at a wedding EVER. My only regret is that I didn’t eat enough of it! Aria provided us with a bridal attendant (Mariah) and a Maître D (Michael) and they were both PHENOMENAL. Mariah was kind and calming, and truly made sure that our every need was met. Michael kept our evening flowing efficiently and kept everything on time! We truly could not have imagined a more perfect day. The venue itself is gorgeous, and we were able to take pictures outside in their beautiful courtyards. We are so happy that we made Aria a part of our day and only wish that it had lasted longer! Thank you to everyone at Aria for a truly perfect wedding.

    Magical!!!

    I’ve never been one to write a review on anything but this place, surely deserves
    one. From the moment we scheduled our date and toured the venue everything went seamless. Every single question we ever had was answered promptly and professionally ALWAYS!

    The day of our wedding was nothing short of pure perfection. The staff was A1 and the manager on site was incredible very nice, hospitable and accommodating. The food was delish and all of our guest said cocktail hour and desert hour were
    delish. If your still hunting for a location and are seeking a venue that can do it all, we highly recommend the Aria.

    Our Dream Wedding!

    Thank you Lina and the wonderful staff at Aria for pulling off our dream wedding through Covid! This year has been nothing short of easy, but this venue is hands down amazing. Lina put up with my weekly phone calls through Covid, as I was unsure if this would even get to happen. Aria got guidance from CT Health Dpt of how to set up the wedding during Covid and it was truly a magical evening. Our guests said it was elegant, romantic, intimate and the nicest wedding they have ever been to. We are full of gratitude that we were able to have our special day and grateful for Aria for how much work and planning they put into this. You’re getting the best, with Aria!!!

    Aria Wedding and Banquet Facility's reply:

    Hi Kristen,
    It was my pleasure. I am so glad everything went well even during this crazy COVID time. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world!!

    Beautiful Location for my Wedding

    I was sure when I first got to Aria that I could never afford anything so extravagant. But their winter package is SO AFFORDABLE! We were thrilled when we booked and are still so happy we chose this venue. Our photos are stunning both inside and outside. My guests are still talking about the food we had weeks later. It was amazing. My bridal attendant, Katya, was AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things about her. I did not want for anything on my wedding day. I got to feel like a princess while the staff took care of everything. Katya was even there for me reminding me to breathe before heading down the aisle. She was wonderful. We are so glad we chose to get married at Aria!

    Incredible! Fairytale wedding

    My wedding day was beyond expectation thanks to Aria! The entire staff was so attentive, detail oriented, and amazing. The experience was spectacular as was the venue itself. The food, both taste and the presentation, were unreal. I highly recommend this venue for your wedding, as they made my wedding day more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Still getting compliments and calls about the food and setup!!

    Amazing venue & food

    Aria speaks for itself. The beauty inside and outside the venue is immaculate.
    The food for cocktail hour and our main meals were beyond anything we have ever had at any wedding venue. The variety offered to select from for choices are top quality.

    Aria Wedding and Banquet Facility's reply:

    Couldn't have asked for a better venue!

    I cannot say enough about how perfect my wedding was thanks to the wonderful staff at the Aria! Loredonna and the rest of our wedding coordinators listened and adjusted to all of our concerns and helped us plan and experience the best day of our lives! The food was plentiful and amazing, the grounds and rooms are stunning, and the service staff is so accommodating and welcoming. Thank you for making our day an amazing one!

    What a beautiful review, Marisa! It was such a pleasure to meet and work with you to create the day of your dreams. Please be sure to keep in touch and let us know how you are doing! Thank you for trusting us!

    Aria is the perfect and most beautiful venue

    From day one Aria has made planning my day seamless. Everything was executed to complete perfection. All of the meetings catered around my schedule, and their staff was friendly and responsive. Nothing beats their elegant decor and beautiful gardens. The on-site fountains added an extra magical element to my day. They helped me not over think things and made sure I knew what was going on at all times to help keep me stress free. My bridal attendant Krissy was so wonderful, attentive, and professional. I could not have asked for a better person to help me through my special day. My Husband and I were married on June 9th, 2019 and every one of my guests has said it was the most beautiful and most fun wedding they have ever been too. While all of my vendors made my happily ever after a reality, I haven't had one complaint about anything, only extremely positive feedback on the food and service. Aria was the perfect place to exchange our vows and celebrate our love. I wish we could get married all over again. Thank you to everyone at Aria for making the happiest day of my life even more special.

    Love, Mr. & Mrs. Archambault

    Aria Wedding and Banquet Facility's reply:

    Thank you for such beautiful feedback! It was such a pleasure to work with you to create the wedding that you had dreamed about and we are so thrilled that your actual day was so perfect for you! If you choose to get married all over again (or maybe a vow renewal), we would love to work with you again! Keep in touch!

    You Can't Go Wrong With Aria!

    If you're looking for a perfect venue in CT to host your wedding reception, Aria in Prospect, is the place to go! As a native New Yorker, I was skeptical about having my daughter's wedding in CT but from the moment we walked into this beautiful venue I knew we had to have her wedding here. The hilltop views are breathtaking, the banquet rooms and outside gardens are magnificent and the food and service cannot be beat! Everything was perfect, from start to finish. The Geloso family treated us like we were members of their family. Joey Geloso, one of the owners, met with us a few times prior to the affair and was so helpful and accommodating. He helped us select the menu and worked with us to make it as affordable as possible. On the day of the wedding, the Aria staff worked tirelessly to make sure all of our guests had all of their needs met. The cocktail hour stations were exceptional, the main course meals were served promptly and were delicious and the Venetian Hour was absolutely amazing, From the prosciutto station to the fried dough station to the crepe station to the gelato station I don't think anyone could have left this wedding hungry! There just aren't enough good things I could say about this venue! I highly recommend it to everyone and I hope to be a repeat customer in the future! Aria is the BEST!

    Aria Wedding and Banquet Facility's reply:

    It's always so nice to receive a happy review, but when it is the Mother of the Bride, it takes on even more meaning. We know how important your daughter's (and son's) weddings are and we work very hard to make sure that your every expectation is met and exceeded. Thank you for placing your trust in us and for giving us the opportunity to create a beautiful day for your daughter. We appreciate all of your kind words and will be sharing this review with our staff. We look forward to seeing you again!

    Perfection.

    If you are looking for a fairy-tale kind of wedding and a one stop shop, Aria is ABSOLUTELY your place! My husband and I had our reception here and let me tell you, you get the royal treatment! We live in California, but had the wedding in CT and Aria was so accommodating. Every time we were visiting CT they would fit us in for appointments no problem. Professionalism from start to finish! They truly made our day one we will never ever forget! Book early because they book up FAST! The food and venue are to die for! Breath taking grounds and banquet halls! Each and every guest was literally blown away - from cocktail hour to the reception, everything was flawless. Be sure to ask for Besa to assist with your wedding because she is just the best! Lina and the Geloso men make a dynamite team! Thank you for making our dream of a wedding come to life! I recommend Aria 100x over, there is no other place that can make your dreams a reality

    Aria Wedding and Banquet Facility's reply:

    Becky -- Thank you for such a wonderful review! It was an honor to host your wedding celebration and we are thrilled that you had the day of your dreams. We wish you and your husband a beautiful life full of happy memories! Stay in touch!

    Thanks Aria

    Thanks to all the staff at Aria I had the wedding of dreams.. The food was good. The drinks where amazing no long lines at the bar. My bridal attendant Demturius was amazing.. I love him so much. He made day so special.. While planning the wedding the Aria staff was amazing to me Lina and Kelly went above and beyond to help me.. My only complaint was the room attendant Siergo he was not friendly at all. He was actually mean to my bridal party!! He made it seem like we where a bother and he just didn’t wanna be their!! My overall experience with Aria was amazing and if I had to do it all over again.. I would choose Aria in a heartbeat!! Thanks Aria for the wedding of my dreams!! Sancha & Scot 11/21/18

    Love Love Love

    We recently had our November wedding at the Aria, and it was nothing short of perfection. Leading up to the wedding, Lina was SO helpful, responsive, and supportive through the entire process. The day of the wedding everything ran so smooth and efficiently. Our bridal attendant was phenomenal and so helpful, the food was AMAZING (we received SO many compliments from lots of happy guests) the whole ballroom was set up perfectly, and the Aria is just stunning and picture perfect. We could not be happier with our chose to have our wedding at the Aria, and I would recommend Aria to anyone looking for an elegant wedding venue!

    Chelsea!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was an honor to host your wedding and we are so pleased that everything exceeded your expectations! We welcome you to the Aria family and wish you a beautiful life and marriage!

    We were thrilled to have had our reception at Aria! Everything from the service, to the food, to the atmosphere was outstanding! We had so many compliments from guests on how fantastic the food was and how much they ate! That was very important to us. We both had been to so many weddings in the past, and there is nothing more disappointing than low quality food... that isn't a concern here at all! We loved it so much, we decided to have them cater our Christmas dinner! I had a waitress assigned to me, and there was a waiter assigned to my husband the entire night. Anytime I turned around, she was there to help me with anything I needed! She even helped me take my heels off and put my comfortable shoes on! She was amazing! We had a huge bridal party - 9 guys, 11 girls, and 4 kids, and we all fit in the bridal suite perfectly with room to spare. They brought all of the cocktail hour food upstairs for us which was so convenient. I can't say enough about Aria. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic wedding venue!

    Aria Wedding and Banquet Facility's reply:

    We are humbled by your kind words, Lindsey. It was such a pleasure to work with and for you and we certainly understand the joy of comfortable shoes! Thank you for your lovely review. We wish you a lifetime of happiness.

    The most gorgeous facility around. Besides having amazing aesthetics, the food is phenomenal. All I keep hearing about from people that attended our wedding was how great the food was. Lina and the staff at Aria are amazing. They went far beyond what we could have ever expected as to taking care of us and the planning. We felt like royalty on our wedding day. They helped make our day perfect.
