The best wedding ever!

Words cannot express how incredible The Pavilion was for our wedding. From the coordinators who would answer every last minute detail texts, soothing wedding anxiety, and making our day run smoothly, they do it all! An extra big shout out to Allie and Lindsay who were ours! The only issue we had with food was that our stomachs were big enough for it all! They have a very inclusive menu and work around allergies/special menu options to make sure everyone had something to eat. The venue itself is a beautiful quiet area where you can just celebrate your love. I truly cannot say enough good things about this venue. It made our wedding dreams a reality.

The BEST wedding venue & team!

The CT Wedding Group is an AMAZING team of organized, energetic, and passionate people! As someone who gets overwhelmed very easily, they made the entire wedding planning process absolutely stress-free. They showcased the perfect balance of listening to our wants and needs while also surprising us with beautiful ideas and additions (all the way up to the day of)! They somehow make the gorgeous scenery the SECOND best thing about this venue. Our day of coordinator was Lindsay, and OMG we couldn't have asked for anyone better. She assured us many times that she would do ANYTHING for us on our special day, and she never failed to deliver on that. We got so many compliments from our guests on how attentive the entire staff was all night! Lots of people came up to us to say this was the best wedding ever and it was all thanks to CT Wedding Group!

Couldn't have had a better day

I can't recommend CT Wedding Group and the Pavilion enough! They made our day so special and it was a dream. Our guests keep raving at how amazing the day was, how beautiful the venue is, and how delicious the food was. Everyone that works there is a dream to work with. Lindsay was our coordinator and she made the day of our so smooth. I barely had to think at all! She made sure we had everything we needed, made sure we were fed and had drinks, and even packed up all our stuff at the end! We had an amazing day and highly recommend the pavilion!
