Alexandra B. Sent on 06/04/2024Garden 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!!! -

This was the first and only venue that Tom and I visited to plan our dream wedding. Anna and her team made every dream of ours come true. From the big things, like choosing a food vendor, to the small details, they were there with us every step of the way. Anna even went out of her way to make sure our cider donut vision came to life, and for that we are eternally grateful.The Garden at The Hops's reply:
We're thrilled to hear your wonderful feedback about your wedding with us. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your special day and help bring your dream wedding to life.
Anna and our team are delighted that you appreciated the attention to detail, from selecting the right food vendor to making sure your cider donut vision became a reality.
Your gratitude means the world to us, and we're grateful for the opportunity to contribute to your happiness. Thank you for choosing The Garden for your wedding. Wishing you and Tom a lifetime filled with love and happiness. -

Simple, elegant, beautiful, classic. Such an amazing experience
We got married this past September 2022 at the Garden at the Hops.
We loved the casual vibe of the lodge but when we saw the garden in back…we knew right away.
We worked with Anna, she was so accommodating and answered all our questions, no matter how many times I asked the same question, and above all else, so patient and kind!
From the picture perfect bridal suite, to the ceremony site that fits so perfectly tucked into nature, to the sail cloth tent- we were sold. We were able to have our dream wedding with all our favorite people in what felt like a secluded, intimate space. We filled it with lawn games, vintage furniture for guests to take photos and food trucks.
Then after the wedding we were invited down to the lodge for an after party. The garden at the hops is so versatile, so easy to work with and all around it was such an amazing experience, we wish we could relive it again.
Cant recommend THC enough ❤️❤️❤️The Garden at The Hops's reply:
We are overjoyed to read your review and learn about your wonderful wedding experience at the Garden at The Hops this past September 2022.
The casual vibe of the lodge and the serene beauty of the garden provide such a unique and charming atmosphere. We're thrilled that Anna's expertise and exceptional customer service made your wedding planning journey enjoyable. Patience and kindness are qualities we greatly value in our team.
Your description of the picture-perfect bridal suite, the tucked-away ceremony site in nature, and the sailcloth tent are truly heartwarming. Creating a dream wedding in a secluded and intimate space is what we strive for, and it's fantastic to hear that you achieved just that with lawn games, vintage furniture, and food trucks.
The versatility of the Garden at The Hops and the ease of working with our team are some of our greatest strengths, and we're delighted you felt that way. We understand the desire to relive such a memorable experience, and we're grateful to have been part of it.
Thank you for recommending The Garden at The Hops, and we wish you and your partner a lifetime filled with love, happiness, and cherished memories.
Warm regards,
Anna and The Garden at The Hops Team -

Nicole Sent on 10/31/2022Best venue, best staff, blown away
We found this venue on Instagram and we never have been more thankful for a targeted ad. The minute we arrived we KNEW this was our spot. The venue itself is beautiful but the attention to detail and the employees just blew us away. The cottage to get ready in was KEY, made everything so comfortable and easy. We were worried about our photos but this place comes to LIFE. Gorgeous background and this venue made it easy to be in the moment with each other. The venue has thought of everything you could possibly need. It is very relaxed but you can dress it up exactly how you and your soulmate see fit. We were paired up with a dream of a wedding coordinator, Anna. She was the most attentive, caring and experienced professional. She literally brought the magic and we did not have to worry or lift a finger. Anna and her staff made us feel like royalty. She guided us along the way and shared useful information to help make our day perfect. I really had no idea what to expect and now we tell every one- you need someone like Anna. She is truly a gem and we are really not sure how our day would have been without her. The Garden at the Hops is a unique and special place, we are truly grateful and feel so loved and supported. This place is outstanding.
The Garden at The Hops's reply:
We're absolutely thrilled that you found us through Instagram and that our venue turned out to be the perfect spot for your special day. Your kind words mean the world to us.
The beauty of our venue, attention to detail, and our dedicated team are what make The Garden at The Hops so unique. We're delighted that the cottage for getting ready added comfort and ease to your experience and that your photos came out beautifully against our gorgeous backdrop.
It's wonderful to hear that Anna, your wedding coordinator, brought the magic to your day and made you feel like royalty. We agree, Anna is indeed a gem, and we're proud to have her on our team. We're so grateful for your trust in us and for choosing The Garden at The Hops for your celebration.
Thank you for sharing your experience, and we wish you and your soulmate a lifetime filled with love, happiness, and beautiful memories.

We are still in awe of how amazing and smoothly run our wedding day was at THC. I am a perfectionist and Anna was amazing to work with, she made our wedding day above and beyond anything I could've imagined. From the beautiful and big bridal suite, to the amazing staff who made sure we had all the food and drinks we could need (seriously, I never even got to meet the bartenders because I never had to get myself anything), to the stunning grounds, and Anna's coordination throughout the entire day made it seamless, stress-free, and the most amazing day.
Even with thunderstorms rolling through a half hour before our ceremony, Anna made sure we were all calm and ready for anything. Luckily it cleared up and the staff made sure we had the perfect ceremony outside.
So many of our guests told us it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to, and they want to get married at THC or are recommending it to their friends. THANK YOU ANNA, THC, AND YOUR AMAZING STAFF! -

It was a beautiful ceremony and reception, and they worked with us to get everything set up exactly how I envisioned. I was very happy with their professionalism, experience, and control of the whole night. Thank you for helping make our wedding a memorable and beautiful experience! -

A+ venue with all star staff!
I had my wedding August 2022 and am SO happy I chose the Hops. It's such a special venue – a balance of beautifully manicured grounds and perfectly relaxed vibes.
From the gorgeous arbor and wide aisle in the ceremony space, to the corn hole during cocktail hour, the beer on tap at the bar and fire pit lit during reception – there's so many pockets of special moments to capture. There is a noise ordinance that meant our band had to stop playing at 10pm but we were able to keep the party going with a Silent Disco that was a HUGE success with our guests and still talked about anytime I see friends and family. Hops also provides reserved space for you at their beer garden after your reception for an easy and really fun after party!
One thing to note is that they're closed Mondays and Tuesdays and mostly busy with weddings on the weekends, so you have to plan your communication with them around that, but they're responsive and attentive during their work hours and MORE than make up for any of that in the quality of service day-of. I cannot express how at ease I felt – Alexia and her team for sure know how to run a wedding and did it calmly, thoroughly, and with SUCH attention to detail. Book this spot ASAP!!The Garden at The Hops's reply:

Your kind words about our unique and relaxed atmosphere mean the world to us. We're glad you enjoyed the special moments we offer, from the ceremony space to the Silent Disco.

I cant say enough about how awesome it was to get married here! The grounds are beautiful, Anna was so helpful through the whole process it made it so easy for me and helping my visions come to life! She helped us every step of the way, communication was awesome, and service during our wedding was phenomenal. It was truly a dream come true; we wanted a backyard wedding but slightly fancier. The venue exceeded our expectations, the staff was so friendly and awesome. I can't say enough great things about getting married at The Garden at the Hops or THC in general. We got married on 06.12.2022 and people are still gushing over our wedding 3 weeks later saying it was the most fun they had in years and it was the BEST wedding they have ever gone to. HIGHLY recommend getting married here and working with Anna :) -

THC was a dream come true for our day. Being able to be onsite in the bridal suite all day was so easy, then to seamlessly transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception to after party was incredible. We got endless compliments on the venue, where people were able to sit, dance, play corn hole, enjoy the bar and firepit, and all within view so we all felt everyone was still together.
Alexia and the event crew were AMAZING. They were somehow both invisible and always there when we needed. Cannot say enough good things about this space and would highly recommend it. THANK YOU! -

When we walked into THC almost 3 years ago, they were still in the middle of renovations, but we trusted Anna and her vision, and I couldn’t be more grateful for that. Every guest said how they were skeptical when they were walking up to the gate, but the minute they stepped in the back garden they were blown away. The grounds are stunning, the tent set up and the bar were beautiful, the ceremony site is magical. Anna and her whole team, from bartenders to bar back to Anna herself, were courteous, professional, friendly, warm, funny, and helped make our night so amazing and special. Anna is a dream to work with, along with her partner Alexia, and she truly makes everything run so smoothly. Thank you guys!! -

We absolutely LOVED having our wedding at The Garden at The Hops. The grounds are so beautiful and well kept and Anna did everything from touring the venue with us, answering all our questions throughout the planning process, to making sure everything went as smoothly as it possibly could on our wedding day- she thought of everything! All of our guests commented on how spectacular our venue was and even a couple said they would get married there! We are hoping that one of our friends/family gets married there so we can enjoy it as guests. We are so grateful for our experience and can't recommend THC enough!! -

Perfect Day!
My wife and I got married at The Garden at The Hops August 7, 2021. Our original wedding date was June 27, 2020, but unfortunately we had to reschedule due to Covid, not once, but twice! Anna and the whole crew were nothing but accommodating. They made sure our day was even better than we anticipated. They took care of everything and worked side by side with the rest of our vendors. We couldn’t have been happier with the service we received from the first day we visited. Thank you Anna and staff for making our day perfect and forever memorable!The Garden at The Hops's reply:

Anna and our dedicated team are overjoyed that we could accommodate your rescheduling needs and work closely with your vendors to make your day even more special than anticipated. Your kind words about our service from day one warm our hearts.
It was an honor to be part of your memorable day, and we want to thank you for choosing The Garden at The Hops for such an important moment in your lives. We wish you and your wife a lifetime filled with love, happiness, and beautiful memories together.

I absolutely loved everything about this venue and my wedding day. I did both my ceremony and reception here. Everything at the garden is beautiful, the landscaping is stunning. There is SO MUCH space. The tent is beautiful and the lights are the perfect touch. There are SO many places to take photos you'll have a hard time choosing between your arch, the waterfall, the flower garden, the tent and the barn. All are picture perfect. The staff is beyond helpful, I honestly don't think Anna ever said the words NO to me! I used their recommended DJ who was great and I chose to have the clam bake (also a recommendation from the Hops) and it all was beyond our expectations. I wish I could get married all over again. -

We would absolutely recommend the Hops Company for your special events and can't wait to plan our next one! -
