Perfect wedding venue

The Garden at the Hops made all of our wedding dreams come true. Alexia was our coordinator and she was nothing short of perfection as a planner! She made the planning stress free and the day of was seamless. Her professionalism was always evident and her calm demeanor was so assuring. We couldn’t recommend the Hops (or Alexia) enough!

Garden Party Wedding of Our Dreams!

May 25, 2024 was the wedding of our dreams at the Garden at the Hops! My husband and I set out to find a venue in CT (where we're both from originally) that was beautiful but relaxed and was not a country club. Our original vision was a backyard wedding but the logistics were way too overwhelming. When we found The Garden at The Hops - we knew we had found it. Anna, from our first visit, to our wedding day and beyond was right there with us anticipating needs and helping our dreams come to life. I cannot recommend the Hops Company enough. The space itself is beautiful but I had visions of extra details all around our wedding and Anna, Shanleigh and their team helped coordinate every last vendor detail from the rentals, band, our photographer, to the florist, to the set up of my intricate seating chart, assembly of our welcome table and our mixed/match style tablescapes. When we wanted a signature cocktail that was slightly different than the standard offerings, Anna got it done seamlessly. They understood our vision and brought it to life beyond our wildest dreams. Our MDW wedding (2024) was everything we could have dreamed of and it was all thanks to the Hops Company team. 10000/10 would recommend. We can't thank you enough!!!

I would recommend the Hops to anyone who is looking for an amazing experience. Everything went so smooth the whole night. It was truly the best night of our life! Thanks so much for the wonderful Wedding!!
