The setting
“I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to host a rustic, unique, and nature-themed wedding in the sticks of North Eastern CT.”
“Close to New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts you will find this quiet yet exquisite post and beam barn tucked away ready to host your next large event or wedding.”
“The facility is stunning, clean, and incredibly well maintained - From seasonal décor, to well manicured gardens your guests will be blown away by the classic New England scenery.”
“The horse-drawn carriage and waterfall ceremony site did it for me!”
Amenities couples mention
“Bri made sure that we even got to try hors d’oeuvres in the bridal suite while we took a few minutes to ourselves before our entrance to the reception.”
“We also highly recommend booking the guest house, if it is available!”
“The horse-drawn carriage and waterfall ceremony site did it for me!”
“Highly recommend adding on the s'mores firepit, lawn games, and golf cart transportation for the ceremony.”
“I was taking a break from the dance floor at one point, fanning myself off, and they brought me over a chocolate bar from the s’more’s station and a water bottle.”
“Every single person brought such warmth and energy, and the bartenders were absolutely stellar — they kept the party going, kept every guest happy, and did it all with huge smiles.”
What couples say again and again
“The facility is stunning, clean, and incredibly well maintained - From seasonal décor, to well manicured gardens your guests will be blown away by the classic New England scenery.”
“Standing there with the people we love, in a place so stunning and cared for by a team that truly goes above and beyond, felt like living inside a dream.”
“Unfortunately, Mother Nature decided the wedding could not be held down by the waterfall, but Bri seamlessly shifted the ceremony to the patio.”
“The day of the wedding she was there setting everything up and unboxing while also keeping my bridal party in check (which is not an easy feat).”
“Our guests loved the convenience and they added another layer of fun and activity to the day.”
From the reviews
If we could do this day all over again we would never even think about changing our venue choice. We cannot say enough about how accommodating Curt and Bri were during our planning process (& we had some pretty wild ideas, *nacho bar cough cough*) and how amazing the staff was throughout the entire night.
Our wedding at Wrights Mill Farm was an absolute dream. The second we stepped onto the property, we felt like family. Brie and Curt were amazing during the whole wedding process - they were responsive, timely and always so excited for us.
Attended a beautiful wedding here in May of 2024. The grounds are gorgeous, buildings beautiful, and staff stupendous. Plenty of parking and such a peaceful location.
Wright's Mill Farm was the unexpected gem dream-find of a "wedding venue". (Air quotes because they are so much more). I could truthfully write an entire novella about the incredible experience of working with the WMF team, but want to specifically highlight elements I don't think get enough online recognition.
Getting married at Wright's Mill Farm
Wright's Mill Farm comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
