Mikala Sent on 08/12/2024The Perfect Day!
When we say our wedding day had zero hiccups, we mean it and so much of that is thanks to Tunxis and its staff! Ashley is a fantastic venue coordinator - responsive to text, calls, and emails. She ensured the venue looked fantastic, including setting up the decor we supplied, and put in a long day to support us - arriving before we did in the morning and staying to box up all our items at the end of the night. The wedding packages Tunxis offers were amazing: inclusive and well-priced. We didn’t need to purchase or rent many items because Tunxis already had them and offered them to us to use without additional cost: ceremony arch, drapery, linens, easels, baskets, etc. Our guests loved the beautiful setting of the outdoor pavilion and how comfortable the reception space felt even on an 85-degree late July day. They also appreciated all the different fun moments throughout the space: corn hole, bocce, the fire pit, the “starlit” dance floor. The attached, climate-controlled bridal suite was the perfect space to get ready, fitting 7 bridal party members and 3 beauty professionals with ease. The food was a hit - our guests are still talking about the amazing bread offered during cocktail hour and we loved the baby spinach salad! We used the nearby Farmington Inn for our room block and it was so easy to run a shuttle to and from Tunxis. Don’t sleep on this wedding location in central Connecticut! Tunxis’ outdoor pavilion is beautiful, unique, and so well-run. -

Sheraz Sent on 01/04/2025Amazing summer venue!
Absolutely amazing venue! Such an amazing price with great service, great staff, and a great location. Tunxis is so beautiful with all of the trees decorated with lights, the renovated pavilion and walkways, and the additional scenic photos along the golf course (water fountain, etc). Our wedding planner, Ashley, was so helpful in our planning meetings answering all of our questions and making us feel comfortable to ask whatever we wanted without making us feel like it was a silly question. Her attentiveness and care she put into our special day truly made it feel less stressful. And also a shoutout to the Tunxis staff for all of their work at maintaining the venue, setting up, cleaning up, and making sure everything and everyone was where it was supposed to be. We really like how you can bring your own pre-assembled materials and decor prior to the wedding day and have Tunxis staff set it up. Would absolutely recommend Tunxis Country Club for anyone looking for an outdoor (and excellent indoor alternative) wedding! -

Kristen Sent on 11/04/2024Perfect Venue!
We had such a wonderful experience at Tunxis. From multiple planning meetings to the tasting, to emails back and forth prior to the wedding day, they were always super responsive and helpful. Ashley was fantastic- she made sure everything was taken care of and organized. She wrangled everyone so everyone was always where they needed to be. And she perfectly arranged all of our decor- it was exactly how I had pictured it in my head! The food was great, the venue was beautiful, and all of our guests were commenting on how wonderful it was. Truly grateful for such an amazing place and team! -

Alexandra Sent on 09/29/2024Amazing venue
This was the perfect venue for us and the coordinator, Ashley D, absolutely killed it! Absolutely stunning with the lights at night, offers an outdoor experience while being fully covered in case of rain. Food was delicious, we received many compliments from family and friends about their filet specifically! Words can't describe how thankful we were for Ashley. She answered every one of my emails throughout the entire process leading up, made sure everything went as scheduled on the day, set everything up as far as our decor and then cleaned it and packed it all up for us the night of. The day certainly would not have gone as smooth without her!! -

We came to look at the venue a year before our wedding and meet with Ashley, she was very respectful understanding attentive to details asked us what we were looking for in our wedding gave us vendors they use and provided us with a stress free planning of our wedding, the Chef at the venue was fantastic the food choices were amazing and delicious, our wedding night was out of this world and we are so grateful we chose this venue and working with Ashley -

Devon Sent on 08/13/2023Great Venue Coordinator and onsite team!
Highly recommend Tunxis for any event, especially weddings! As an outside team of planners/event coordinators Tunxis’ very own venue coordinator, Ashley, worked seamlessly with our team to help manage the logistics of the day from every angle! There is nothing Tunxis’ venue team can’t do, they are a team of friendly, helpful, well-organized and detail orientated staff that are quick problem solvers and a delight to work with! The Tunxis team is also very flexible, making last minute timeline changes a breeze! Overall no task is too small or too big for the Tunxis team. 100% recommend and give 5 glowing stars to their team!! -

Edward Sent on 12/14/2018The BEST rustic wedding venue you can choose in CT!
Tunxis Plantation was the first venue we ever visited on our list of potential locations, and we instantly fell in love with the Pavilion. Its rustic feel, large outdoor setting, nestled among huge pine trees with lights and vines and nature everywhere you look. The venue was like a fairy-tale forest, and was the perfect rustic, natural venue for the theme of our wedding. The size was perfect, with our 120 guests easily seated with plenty of extra room. Just when things couldn't get any better, you meet the staff of TPCC. Their event managers are extremely helpful, very friendly, and committed to making sure that your special day is perfect. Communication with Arianna was great, she was always quick to answer our many questions and make any subtle changes we had as the planning process continued. She was always available and gladly willing to sit down and go over details for the ceremony and reception with us. As the event neared, and our rehearsals happened, she was committed to making sure that every member of the family and bridal party were comfortable with their roles during the ceremony and reception, and the venue even hosted us in their Tavern restaurant for our rehearsal dinner. The venue offers an amazing food menu for weddings, with tons of plated options and a buffet option. We highly recommend the buffet, which our guests loved because they could try a little bit of everything, and we've gotten raving reviews from our guests at how incredible the food was at our wedding! The open bar all night was also a huge hit, and TPCC accommodated our needs for libations flawlessly, going as far as to get the exact craft IPA beer I wanted on tap! With the pond, fields, golf courses, and pine woods, there was no shortage of locations to take breath-taking bridal pictures.Tunxis Country Club's reply:
Thank you so much for the great review Edward. We were so happy to share such a special day with you both in making your day a success!
We wish you a wonderful future together.

Christine Sent on 08/21/2018We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the pavilion at Tunxis Country Club this past Saturday, August 18th. My now husband and I first saw the pavilion dusted with snow back in March 2017, and we knew it was perfect for us. The draped lights, the lights wrapped around the surrounding trees, the pergola, the fire pit...everything was so beautiful and serene. Leading up to our event, I worked with Loredana and Arianna. They were both so approachable, professional, flexible. and responsive. They hosted a fantastic tasting for all of their couples in April where we got to sample all of the amazing food. Arianna handled all of the details in a knowledgable and calming fashion, which was so helpful to me as my anxiety increased in the weeks leading up to the event. She also expertly handled our rehearsal and even served our guests popcorn at the end of the night!
I had dropped off all of our decor the day before. I trusted that they would set it up perfectly, and I was right. Everything was absolutely perfection. As the day carried on, the skies grew dark and the air heavy--but none of it mattered, as we were protected by the enormous pavilion. It changed our ceremony and photography plans slightly, but because of how the pavilion is set up, it was incredibly easy to pivot our approach. We decided to use the pergola as the backdrop, which I loved because it looked so amazing with gray curtains and gorgeous floral swags.
Throughout the night, I heard praise from many guests. "This place is incredible! How did you even find it?" Some of my other vendors hadn't even worked a wedding here before. To top it off, it's one of the most affordable venues that I found (and I looked at over 60 places). It is a hidden gem.
P.S.: Tunxis has a star staff member named David. He took care of us all night, cried and hugged us after our ceremony, and cheered for us as we made our formal entrance. The entire staff rocked, but you will seriously love David. Thank you, Tunxis! -

Samantha Sent on 08/14/2016Tunxis was such a great venue for our wedding! Marlo and Kristine made sure we were organized and on schedule from day one until our rehearsal and everything the day of was absolutely perfect. Marlo and Kristine were great communicators and responded quickly to all of our questions during our planning process. They also did a great job making the large pavilion space work for our very small wedding. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. The whole staff at Tunxis was very attentive during our reception and many people came to our sweetheart table throughout the night to make sure we were doing well and had everything we needed. Also, the golf cart limos that took us to the pond to take post-ceremony pictures and that took us to our car after the reception was a really nice touch. Thanks to everyone at Tunxis, our day was wonderful and completely stress free. Highly recommended! Tunxis is a hidden gem when it comes to wedding venues. -

Rochelle Sent on 11/19/2010Marlo is amazing to work with. I work in the event planning industry and have encountered many on-site coordinators. Marlo is top-notch. Tunxis is an amazing value, and they bent over backwards to accomodate every request we had. I'm so happy we chose to have our wedding at Tunxis! -

The most magical venue!
My husband and I had our dream wedding at Tunxis Country Club on 10/5/24. It was truly the most magical day and I couldn’t have been happier with our decision to host the most important day of our lives here! Ashley was incredible. Through out the entire process she kept in constant communication with us, answered all my questions over the course of the year, and when it came to day of she made sure everything was FLAWLESS. The atmosphere, food, staff, and overall set up was a 10/10. I would recommend this venue and Ashley a hundred times over. -

Perfect for Small Weddings
My husband and I planned a very small and intimate wedding and were having difficulty finding a venue that would suit a wedding of less than 100 people. The Fireside Room was a perfect venue for our October wedding. We appreciated the all inclusiveness of the venue and all the support Ashley, Kelsey and their team provided leading up to our wedding and the day of our wedding. Ashley and Kelsey patiently answered all of our questions and met with us along the way whenever we requested to figure out logistics. On the day of, Kelsey and her team helped set up the venue and packed up everything at the end of the night, giving us one less thing to worry about while we got ready and later wrapped up the night. I would definitely recommend Tunxis to anyone looking for a smaller, intimate wedding. -

Get Married at Tunxis
We couldn't have been happier with our wedding at Tunxis! The space is beautiful, especially with the renovations. In fall with the twinkle lights, scenic pines, and cozy fire pit, you can't ask for a better space! We were lucky enough to get a perfect fall day after a bunch of rain, but we were still able to have our ceremony outdoors - that field has some incredible drainage. Tunxis really shines in our photos!
Ashley was so helpful throughout the wedding planning process. She answered emails quickly and has a great calm energy that I'm sure all brides appreciate! On the day of our wedding, she anticipated things before we could even think of them and went above and beyond to make sure we had food and anything we might need. Speaking of food, the food is delicious, I'm still thinking about the gnocchi!
I don't have a single bad thing to say about our experience with Tunxis, I would get married there again in a heartbeat! -

Tunxis Country Club for Your Wedding
Tunxis Country Club is not your typical venue! Just imagine being outdoors in the woods, surrounded by tall pine trees entangled with string lights. It feels magical when you're there and you don't want the night to end. My husband and I looked far and wide for a venue where we felt would capture both of our adventuring souls while still in Connecticut. We wanted a venue where guests could roam around freely and enjoy themselves instead of being stuck in a typical ballroom to either their chairs, dance floor or bar. Tunxis Country Club was exactly it! We were given so many compliments from guests on how fun this venue was compared to others they have been to. While planning our wedding, we worked with Ashley at the site. She was great to work with: an easy going coordinator, a reliable communicator, and an expert on all things wedding. My husband and I wanted to DIY a lot of our decor and Ashley was accommodating to a lot of the ideas we had. Also, we weren't pressured only to use vendors off of their preferred list, which was a nice touch for those who don't want a cookie cutter wedding. Not to forget, a lot of our guests were impressed with the food served at our wedding by the chef! Sometimes wedding food is "just wedding food", but this wasn't the case. Overall, we are so happy to have used Tunxis Country Club as our wedding venue and would greatly recommend them to anyone! We can't get over how perfect it all came out. We loved our wedding so much and hope others can enjoy Tunxis Country Club and all they have to offer. -

Wedding ceremony & Reception 10000/10
I would give 500 stars if I could. This venue was so gorgeous and they just redid a lot of it so it was extra nice looking for our wedding. The service was incredible and the food was outstanding!! Ashley the coordinator set up the venue BEAUTIFULLY for us and never once got annoyed by the thousands of anxious texts I sent her ;) I couldn’t recommend this place more. The ceremony set up was beautiful, the reception was unreal.. and for your food tasting they literally shut down the restaurant and give you a free private date with your partner. The entire experience was incredible and were def going out to eat there every year for our anniversary for the rest of our lives. If you book here do a hotel block at the Farmington Inn and Suites! They book up fast so have your guests get rooms asap. It’s right down the road! And rehearsal dinner at fork and fire- also right down the street. Incredible town and made for an easy fun stress free wedding! -

Ashley DellaRatta was amazing!
Tunxis country club is not only a STUNNING venue but they also have amazing coordinators that are extremely hands on throughout your planning process. Ashley DellaRatta made sure our day went as smoothly as it did. Ashley was there to answer every question we had along the way and was extremely organized throughout the entire process.
My husband and I were very confident that we were in great hands with Ashley. On our day everything was better than we could have imagined. The day was magical and breathtaking and we could not be happier with the outcome!
If you are looking for a beautiful venue surrounded by gorgeous trees and nature with an amazing hands on coordinator, then we highly recommended you go with Tunxis Country Club and should request to work with Ashley DellRatta she is a ROCK STAR! -

Bridget Sent on 08/15/2018Tunxis Plantation, Arianna, Lauren and Loredonna were just amazing! All of their hard work and dedication to making our wedding day special truly showed.
Arianna was so great with setting up all of our decor pieces and mad everything look so beautiful. Also was always there to answer questions. Was so thoughtful to turn around during cocktail hour and have a platter of the apps served to myself and the groom- WOW! Thank you Thank you!!
We are still having people call us on how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food was. Chef Alex and his team nailed it! The beverage selections were also fab and a crowd favorite.
Also we can not forget to thank the gentlemen who drove the bridal party around in golf carts to the photo area and brought us directly to the bus when it was raining at the end of the wedding! 5 Star Service from start to finish!
The venue is the perfect place for a wedding that you and your guests will never forget! With the perfect food, beverages, magical lights, amazing photo spots and most importantly all the people that work at Tunxis you will feel like a princess!
(Will add more photos to post once we get from photographer!) -
