Connecticut National Golf Club Reviews

CR National is an amazing and beautiful place to get married at a reasonable price. Jen was FANTASTIC from beginning to end answering all of our questions and accommodating our requests. It poured rain on our wedding day and Jen kept great communication with us and our vendors to make sure our wedding was still absolutely beautiful and perfect. Food was amazing. We highly recommend anyone to get married at CT National.

My husband and I are very happy that we chose CT National Golf Club as our wedding venue. We received excellent service from beginning to end. Jen was very responsive via email, text, and phone to all of our questions and concerns leading up to our big day. She made sure every last detail was taken care of and exactly as we had envisioned.

Jen and her staff did an amazing job with everything from decorations, accommodations, service, and quality. Jen went above and beyond for my bridal party in the bridal suite. She made sure to accommodate a bridesmaid with a gluten allergy and a picky eater flower girl. Both ladies had unlimited options of food for breakfast and lunch. She continually checked on us throughout the day to make sure everything was to our liking and there was nothing else needed.

Jen made sure our event went smoothly as she orchestrated every last detail. She was patient, kind, professional, and caring. We received many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the ceremony and reception areas were, how good they were treated by the staff, and how amazing the appetizers, entrées, and desserts were. We cannot thank Jen and the staff at CT National Golf Club enough for making our day so memorable.

Perfect place to get married 😍!

CT national was the perfect location for our fall wedding. It was just the right size for our party. The food was awesome! It was so yummy people raves about it for days after.

Make your wedding exactly the day that you imagine

CT National Golf Club far exceeded our expectations in every way. When I was looking for a venue for our vow renewal I read the reviews on here and they all mentioned how great working with Jen West was so I decided to schedule a site visit. From the moment I walked in Jen was beyond wonderful showing us the venue. I knew I would have my vow renewal there. Throughout the planning process she was always responsive, accommodating and just simply amazing. I had heard from others that the food there was very good, but when we went for the food tasting it was more than very good it was superb. The week leading to my vow renewal the weather forecast called for possible thunderstorms in the afternoon which put a damper on my dream of having an outdoor ceremony. Jen knew how much I really wanted an outdoor ceremony and assured me that they would do their best to make it happen. On the day of the vow renewal she even called me to let me know that though the forecast still showed a possible shower she thought we would be ok and said she was good to set it up. My dream became a reality because it never rained and the outdoor area was set up exactly as I had envisioned it. In fact EVERYTHING was set up just like I had asked. Jen did not miss a single thing. She and her staff were super attentive to all the needs of my husband and I and our guests.
Everyone raved about the food and the venue itself. Choosing CT National Golf Club was one of the easiest and best decisions I made throughout the planning. Thank you so much Jen and staff for the amazing day you helped fulfill for my husband and I.

Everything was truly perfect! We were so incredibly pleased with everything from beginning to end!

Jim & Jenn West as well as the entire staff at CTN provided nothing but exceptional service. Jenn was hands down the best wedding coordinator we interacted with during our search for the perfect venue. Jenn and Jim made the entire process from looking at the venue, to booking the venue, leading up to and on our wedding day nothing but easy, smooth and perfect. We had so many guests compliment us on how amazing of a job Jenn did, she and Jim have a very strong A game that doesn't go unnoticed. The quality we received for the price we paid was a homerun. CTN is a hidden gem nestled away on prestine landscapes and makes for stunning pictures. Highly recommend having your wedding here. Go see Jim & Jenn, ask for a wedding packet and see for yourself, you won't regret it!

Jim and Jen were absolutely amazing through the entire process. Jen was extremely knowledgeable and gave me some advice and insights that I wouldn't have thought to consider. She not only is an expert in event planning, but shes very kind and patient which is a great quality to possess when dealing with stressed out Brides! The grounds were beautiful, Jen even lets you borrow things to decorate with if you are interested! I was able to save tons of money on centerpieces which I found to be pretty cool :) I would recommend this venue 100% to ANYONE. It is elegant, classy, simple, beautiful! and its very affordable (in my opinion.) Thank you CT National for being apart of my special day and making sure everything went as close to perfect as possible!

Working with Jim and Jen at Connecticut National was the best wedding decision we could have made! Everything from our ceremony to reception was absolutely perfect and the entire process was very relaxed.

Excellent services, and was a fantastic day even with the rain! Jim and Jenn were great to work with, and very accommodating with everything. Just a note, if you bring anything for the reception and want to keep it afterwards, make sure to tell them ahead of time. We had some things we kind of wanted to keep discarded because we forgot to ask. It wasn't a huge deal, though, our day was still wonderful.

My husband and I picked CT National for our wedding because we have been their many times before for other events and always had a great experience. We also frequent their golf course to play and have seen the amazing views and how well kept the grounds are. We knew it was going to be a great day but it proved to be so much more!!! Jen and Jim were absolutely amazing throughout the whole wedding planning process. They answered all phone calls or late night emails and kept me in the loop about everything. As far as planning a wedding goes, they made it so easy and comfortable...I never had to worry about a thing. The day of the wedding everything was perfect! All the decorations, the flowers, the food and hospitality was exactly as we had planned and hoped for. The night went without a single glitch. Jen was by my side the entire day to help with anything that I or my bridal party needed and kept the flow to the exact timeline. It was the best day of our lives and we couldn't say one bad thing about the whole day. They gave us the wedding of our dreams! We would highly recommend CT National to anyone, you will not be disappointed. Affordable, professional and beautiful...people are still talking about what an amazing day it was!

Excellent location, great staff, and amazing food! Jen was so great at helping to organize everything and putting together an amazing day. I didn't feel stressed out at all because Jen made sure we had several meetings before the wedding . Prices are very affordable and the bridal suite is a great bonus. My bridal party and I were able to start getting ready 6 hours before the event (we had our hair/makeup professionals come to the suite) and we were able to have breakfast and lunch served to us for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!

We could not have asked for a better day. This was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Jen was beyond helpful every step of the way. The food was excellent and everything went smoothly. You get exactly what you pay for here. I would recommend to any and everyone!

We stumbled upon CT National while searching for venues on the RI/CT border. As soon as we pulled up to the venue and met Jen and Jim we knew this was our venue! The grounds were beautiful, the room was a great size, with plenty of light, the bridal suite was large and comfortable and the overall feel was just rustic enough to fit our theme. Jen and Jim were extremely kind, they answered all our questions, and worked within our budget. The day of Jen was amazing. She handled all our needs while we got ready in the bridal suite, she set up our decorations perfectly, and she got our ceremony started right on time. The reSt of the night went beautifully as well. Jen and Jim got dinner out in a timely manner and everyone raved about how delicious the food was! We can't thank Jen and Jim enough for all the time they spent helping us and the amazing day they helped us put together for an even more amazing price! We love CT National!

Jim and Jen,
Matt and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day. You both made our day so very special and we couldn't thank you enough!

Jen and CT National were an unbelievable venue. Jen went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. We do not think you could find a better venue for the value! So many extra things are included in the price; such as table clothes, napkins, napkin rings, Chicago chairs, cake or pasta course, many different centerpieces that you can choose from (which is included) and always there to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend CT National for your next venue for an event or wedding.

Amazing venue staff and food. Extremely friendly and made the day go so smoothly for us! I would definitely recommend to future bride and groom's!

If you are looking for an all inclusive, affordable venue that gives you the true "New England" feeling, look no further. The ceremony location, beautiful gardens and greens on the course, separate bar room that leads into the perfect size ballroom with a wrap around outside porch, would be enough to say YES to this venue. However, it was the superb service provided by the entire staff, especially Jenn and Jim (your personal wedding planners), that made our BIG DAY and everyday leading up to it so stress free and perfect. You typically would have to hire and budget separately if you want to have a wedding planner, but Jenn will make sure that your vision and every single detail is shown. The week before our wedding, I was expecting my phone to be off the hook with vendors and last minute details or questions. Jenn was the one in constant contact with my vendors, making sure everything was perfect. The day finally came and so did the weather predictions of thunderstorms and rain. Jenn made sure that the entire bridal party was having a positive and exciting time as we prepared in the beautiful bridal suite (provided). Even when it poured after the ceremony when we were getting our family photos, Jenn and the entire staff, were prepared, umbrellas in hand, to calmly escort everyone onto the deck for some impromptu, fun photos. During the reception, I never needed to feel like a "hostess" and Jenn was always there to let my husband and I know when the next event was happening so we could be ready. Our guests are still raving about CTNational and how wonderful the night was.

My husband and I new from the moment we met Jim and Jen that we were meant to get married at Connecticut National. They made our day better than we could have ever dreamed. Our family and friends are still raving about the food and the atmosphere! We recommend anyone planning a wedding or special event visit them! We can not thank Jim and Jen enough!

Jim and Jen West at CT National Golf Club were wonderful to work with for our wedding! They were very easy going, yet very responsive to all of our questions and concerns about the day of the wedding, from start to finish. We wanted to bring in a lot of our own decorations and they were great in helping us get situated and organized. Jim, Jen, and the staff were all wonderful in assisting us during the rehearsal and the day of the wedding.
The bridesmaids, our mothers, and the bride all got dressed in the bridal suite. It was great being able to bring our hairdressers/makeup artists to the venue, get ready right there and not have to rush on the day of the wedding. Jen arranged our breakfast, lunch, and drinks to be sure we were comfortable all day. We were very happy that everything happened in one place.
The venue was beautiful! We were blessed with a gorgeous late June day, and we were able to hold our ceremony outside, and got to take all of our pictures on site. It was a perfect day thanks to the staff coupled with a beautiful landscape. Our reception was fun and energetic as a result of the environment we had it in. We loved having the porch as an extra outdoor area for our guests - we set up a photo booth with fun props, and it was a hit with our guests. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it for our guests. Our only complaint was that the night went by too quickly!!
We had a wonderful wedding day, and we would recommend CT National and Jim and Jen to anyone looking to get married at a beautiful laid back venue!

Love this place! They did everything and made sure our day was beautiful. It was everything I dreamed about. Jen and Jim went over the top to make sure everything went smooth! Food was amazing! everyone who worked their where wonderful.

Jen and Jim are the best. They make you feel like you've been friends with them for years when you begin planning and leave you feeling like you want to be friends for years by the time your wedding ends. If you don't want headaches, unforeseen issues and want a wedding you'll always hear people singing the praises of then go to CT National and let Jim and Jen do their thing. I can't say enough how awesome they are and how highly I recommend them. Some people are born to be singers, or poets or athletes. Jim and Jen were born to make people's special events the best they can possibly be. I'm indebted to and proud to know them.

We could not have asked for a better day or a better place to hold our wedding at. They were absolutely amazing and the people were extremely helpful. Jen did an amazing job and was always making sure that my wife and I had everything that we needed. If I could give this place more than 5 STARS I most definitely will. Thank you for a day we will never ever forget!

Jen and Jim were amazing to work with for our wedding. From the first meeting to the night of they were available to answer questions and make the wedding process as stress free as possible. They were accommodating and flexible when it came to getting in our final numbers and figuring out the seating chart. The only negative experience was when my husband tried to play golf the morning of our wedding and they were not able to squeeze him in. Our reception was beautifully put together and Jen went out of her way to send me pictures to ensure that everything was set up just how we wanted. The food was AMAZINzG and all the guest dietary restrictions were taken care of. Overall our day was prefect and everything we hoped for. Thank you Jen and Jim.

This venue was absolutely amazing. Jen and Jim west made all the planning and decision making super easy for us. They are truly amazing at what they do. Our ceremony space ( which was outside ) was absolutely beatiful as well as the reception room. The whole place indoor and outdoor was exceptionally well maintained. They have a beatiful bridal suite for your whole bridal party to get ready at. It was great to be able to get ready on site while being served mimosa and delicious appetizers. My mom had a cold so Jen didn't hesitate to rush a hot tea and a Tylenol to her. The food was amazing. It was very affordable for the portions and quality served to us. The staff was always friendly and very attentive. Overall I would most definitely recommend this venue for any occasion celebration especially a wedding as the golf course has beatiful backdrop for your pictures. Thanks again Jen and Jim for making our special day so amazing.
