Perfection
There are just no words elaborate enough to describe the amazing crew of people Susan helped us pull together! The event was STUNNING! Guests were still raving the next day about the delicious food catered by A Thyme to Cook. The attention to all the details was incredible. Deb with A Gala Affair created the most gorgeous florals! 😍 Shantel's hair & makeup was perfection. Maggie made you feel at ease during the photos. Everyone was just so warm & friendly. -

Ingrid Sent on 05/31/2022Best place to have a wedding
My husband and I were searching around for venues last April 2021 and it wasn't until we went to JE that we truly felt at home. From the moment we first had a call with Susan, to when we met Patti, we knew we had to have our special day there.
On our first visit, Susan immediately took us around and up to the bridal suite (which is to die for by the way), and we really felt like we were at home. Through the entire process, JE was responsive, thorough, attentive, and so much more.
The day of went flawlessly, not to mention how everyone was raving about the wine. Their vendor list is great, and any time you have ANY questions, Susan / Patti are just a text away with answers.
AMAZING DAY, AMAZING VENUE, STRESS FREE!
Thank you Susan, Patti, and JE!! We had the BEST day of our lives on Saturday! -

Brianna Sent on 06/09/2021Our Dream Wedding
Choosing Jonathan Edwards Winery for our wedding venue was the best decision we made in the entire wedding planning process! We chose JE before the pandemic hit and from the first visit to the wedding day (an almost 2 year stretch!), we could not have been more pleased with the JE team.
Susan and Patti were honestly a dream team. No one else in the industry answered emails, texts, or calls quicker than they did and we were blown away by their willingness to help us have our dream wedding. From rescheduling our 2020 date to 2021 due to Covid to the wine tasting with our family to the rehearsal to the wedding day (and the rain that came with it!), we were in the best of hands at the most beautiful venue.
If you want a personal and unique experience, you should choose JE and work with an incredible team of professionals who genuinely strive to give you the most incredible wedding. -

Samantha Sent on 10/14/2020The most incredible wedding experience
I had the honor of getting married at Jonathan Edwards Winery on October 3rd. After canceling our original wedding venue due to the global pandemic, all of the stars seemed to align for us and JE Winery had our date available.
I had reached out via email and Susan responded almost immediately. She was so clear in her communications and explained everything to me so thoughtfully & concisely. She arranged a visit so we were able to come and tour the property. My breath was literally taken away when we pulled up to the winery. It is just stunning. Its the perfect mix of rustic & elegant. My only regret is not booking this venue from the VERY beginning.
The bridal suite is the most gorgeous space to relax and spend time leading up to your ceremony. It is HUGE so plenty of space for your bridal party & photographers. The suite also overlooks the vineyard & the tent so I was able to watch them set everything up and even got to spy on my husband as he arrived with his guys! The natural light in the suite was also perfect for some stunning photos of my dress.
The Sperry tent is outrageously gorgeous and was perfect for our October wedding. The lighting that is included under the tent was perfect for our reception & when the temperatures dropped, they were quick to shut down the sides of the tent and turn the heaters on (heaters came separate).
We were married in the vineyard and it was the most romantic ceremony with the most beautiful backdrop.
Susan is my favorite person ever. She was a lifesaver during the most difficult months for us. She was so kind to us and supportive and did so much to make sure we had the perfect wedding day. I truly cannot thank her enough.
Patti was our day of wedding coordinator and she is AMAZING. I did not have a worry in the world, knowing that she had my back and was making everything happen. She was ten steps ahead of me, ALWAYS.
Jonathan, the owner, was also so incredibly wonderful. We had shown up, unannounced, prior to our scheduled tour and he was nice enough to drop everything he was doing to give us a tour. He was so kind and helpful.
I wish I could relive our wedding day at Jonathan Edwards Winery a million times over. It was an absolute dream and I cannot thank them enough. I highly recommend this wedding venue!

Jen W. Sent on 07/17/2019Hands down best wedding venue ever
WOW is this venue amazing. We got married here last week, I almost didn't pull the trigger on the price of booking, but it was my dream, and worth every penny. We got married in the middle of the vines, the wine is amazing, and that TENT! They have a new beautiful Sperry tent. With lights and a few florals- wow. Hidden gem in Connecticut. -
Annie Sent on 07/15/2018My family, husband, and I couldn't have been happier with our experience at Jonathan Edwards. My mom and I knew JE was the perfect venue for us as soon as we arrived (truly, we pulled in to the driveway and my mom said "this is it!!"). It's a stunning site that perfectly fit the vibe we were looking for (rustic, elegant, and kind of anthropologie-esque). I also immediately fell in love with the gorgeous Sperry tents they use for outdoor receptions.
Apart from the beauty of the location, we were also very impressed by the JE team. The event coordinator, Erica, immediately made us feel comfortable and taken care of. Throughout the year, I never worried about the venue, wine, or day of coordination, because I knew Erica was on it. I was also impressed by how responsive the JE team was. I sent many emails and texts leading up the wedding day (i.e., where should I put signs? Can I borrow barrels? Where will the ceremony musicians sit?), and Erica was always extremely quick to reply. Erica also sent fun updates over the year (i.e., a picture of tent when it was set up in the fall, a picture of my flowers in the bridal suite on the morning of the wedding, etc.). The Jonathan Edwards team seemed to share in my joy and excitement leading up to the big day, which meant so much to me.
Overall, Jonathan Edwards played a key role in making my wedding day the best day of my life. I would highly recommend the site to anyone planning a wedding! -

Christine Sent on 11/16/2017Jonathan Edwards was the perfect backdrop for our fall wedding. Erica was wonderful to work with, she always responded quickly to any of our questions, made sure she had every detail correct for our day, and was there to calm any nerves I may have had leading up to the second I walked down the aisle. We also enjoyed interacting with other Jonathan Edwards staff whenever we visited leading up to our wedding. The detail I loved the most about having our wedding there was we were the only wedding event that weekend. JE is not a "wedding factory" as they only host one wedding a weekend; not only did this make us feel important, but it made some of the smaller details such as dropping off decor early, setup and breakdown a breeze. They truly make you feel like your day is just as special to them as it is to you, a quality that was important to my husband and I. We look forward to being able to visit JE on our anniversary next year and many years to come. Its special to be able to revisit the place you were married year after year. Thank you Erica, and the rest of JE for truly making our day perfect!

Amy C. Sent on 12/22/2014Erica Cyr and the staff at Jonathan Edwards Winery made sure that every part of our planning as well as our wedding day was as enjoyable and stress free as possible. Their attention to detail and flexibility allowe us to truly have the wedding we had envisioned. Although we were a very small wedding we were able to take advantage of the outdoor space, the tasting room, and the barrel room which made for a beautiful day for us and our guests. We truly felt that we were part of the Jonathan Edwards family. We look forward to many returns to the winery. -
Lindsay Sent on 09/29/2017I can't say enough about Jonathan Edwards winery and Erica as our event coordinator. From our first venue visit, to many visits in between, to the grand finale of our wedding day, the staff at the vineyard and Erica did everything to make our wedding day truly amazing. The venue is absolutely picturesque and perfect, we were blessed with one of the most beautiful days in early September at our wedding on 9/9 of this year. It is a stunning backdrop for your photos. The new bridal suite is coastal farmhouse amazing, and Erica had bottles of our favorite wine stocked in the fridge when we arrived. Erica was wonderful, always happy and welcoming, glad to see us when we just stopped by the vineyard because we were in the area.
The wine is the best in area, out of many local vineyards. The expanded tasting room, the beautiful deck and of course the vineyard itself for the ceremony had people complimenting the venue to us all night. Erica made sure everyone was relaxed and ready before the ceremony, and made sure we had perfect timing to walk down the aisle to the song I chose. She even started to tear up as we started walking; I love how involved and emotional she was with us, she truly cares about each couple that gets married at JED.
From pre-ceremony toasting in the bridal suite, to the ceremony, to cocktail hour on the deck and the tasting room, to dinner and dancing in the tent, the venue was exquisite. I love that we can continue to go back to visit Jonathan Edwards and toast to our marriage for years to come. Highly recommended. -

Nicole Sent on 09/19/2019Is there a more perfect summer venue?
I had been to Jonathan Edwards over the years to drink their wine but hadn’t been in a while, so when we pulled up to see it with fresh eyes for our wedding on a perfect sunny October day, I looked at my fiancé and said “this is it.”
I prayed for the next 11 months for a sunny day with no humidity just like that one and ended up with the most gorgeous day of the summer. It was a dream. From the ceremony in the vines to cocktail hour at sunset and dancing under the twinkling lights of the tent, it was pure magic.
The wine is delicious, Erica is a joy to work with and the venue is a showstopper.
People are still complimenting me on how beautiful the wedding was and raving about the flow of the night. I love the way they guide the wedding from the vines to the tasting room to the tent and that it allows yours guests to experience the entire grounds.
It was a little overwhelming to plan a wedding on a blank slate from the ground up, but it was worth every single penny and the end result was perfection. Erica was so helpful and always available to answer my many questions with a smile and a heavy pour :) Wedding planning is way better with wine and if you're getting married in CT, this is the place to do it.

Wendy Sent on 09/10/2019Picture Perfect Wedding at Jonathan Edwards Winery
Just had a picture perfect wedding at Jonathan Edwards which is a beautiful venue in every way. Ceremony among the vines is truly gorgeous and the tent at night was a beautiful setting. Erica is a real pro who manages to keep everyone calm and on schedule for the ceremony without dispelling the high energy and fun of the bridal party and groomsmen. We were able to include everything we wanted. If you want an outdoor, tent wedding you cannot find a more perfect setting!! -

Heather Sent on 07/23/2019Everything We Wanted in a Venue!
It's hard to put into words exactly how perfect Jonathan Edwards was for our wedding day. My husband and I always knew that we wanted an outdoor wedding in the area surrounding our hometown and when we toured JE, we knew it was the venue for us. From the outdoor ceremony space in the vines, the cocktail hour inside the winery itself and on the outdoor patios and lawn, and the tented reception: it was all exactly what we were looking for. The gorgeous new Sperry tent was a magical reception space- and the fact that it is included in the venue fee was definitely a bonus! We also loved that we were able to get ready in the beautiful bridal suite and that there was a place for the groom and his groomsmen to get ready as well. There is so much to offer in the winery itself in terms of space and aesthetic, that it's impossible to have anything less than a picturesque wedding day here.
In addition to the wonderful venue itself, Erica, the wedding coordinator, was easy to work with, helpful, and kind. She answered my many emails and texts leading up to the day and she worked with us to make sure that everything was exactly what we had hoped: from planning the ceremony to ensuring that the bridal party and family were hydrated and cool as we took photos on the hot day. She was calm and collected on the day of, even though threats of rain loomed in the forecast and I was anything but calm myself. She ensured us that all would run smoothly, even if our plans needed to change and we would have to do our ceremony indoors in the barrel room (which, fortunately, we did not, but it is always great to have a back up plan for an outdoor venue!).
If you are looking for a fantastic outdoor venue space in this area with a staff that is outstanding, I couldn't recommend Jonathan Edwards more! -

Stephanie Sent on 07/05/2012As soon as we saw the winery, we knew this was where we would be getting married! The location is absolutely beautiful, and Erica from the winery was so helpful during all of our planning. I did take off 2 stars from value because of all the extra expenses required outside of the already high site fee. For example, we had to pay for our own restroom trailers, and it seems like that is something that could be provided by the winery. Other than that, we loved everything about this venue and our wedding day was perfect!
