She went onto list 5 more things that we COULD NOT DO, before I could get a word in edgewise, and then told me the ONLY time to come see it was on the 2nd Saturday of the month at 8:15 a.m. and if I was 10 minutes late, she would leave! I work late and live an hour away. REALLY?? no OTHER TIME COULD BE AVAILABLE? The Hall looks great, but I never got to even see it due to this one person's POWER TRIP! Really disappointed. I could have brought them A LOT of business at least 5 rentals a year. Now, it is temporarily closed. Awaiting the doors to re-open and hopefully under a new regime.

We fell in love with her, the house, everything including the murder-by-mail story behind the house from the 1800s. About 2 weeks before the party we called Kaitlyn and told her it was going to turn into our surprise wedding! She continued to be so helpful and excited, giving recommendations for all kinds of vendors we'd need. The day of the party she was professional and hands-on, making sure everything got done on a quick timeline. She calmed nerves and had great suggestions on where things should go to make sure everything flowed just right. Our rental price included some tables and linens she had available, and some glassware too. It was so perfect from the start and we couldn't be happier!!

I would def host an event here because unlike the Newport mansions I could touch things and see things in the midst of being historically preserved since they're still restoring the house.

I believe this closes at sunset but I've been out here at sunrise and it's been pretty quiet until 9:30 am or so.

Definitely a Glastonbury community symbol... :) Lots of kids fishing on the dock/by the river. Playground on the premises & then the Glastonbury parks and rec manages the fields behind the clubhouse.

Per my last sentence, be sure you go online and KNOW what you want to do and what you want to spend! You can 'easily' spend a lot of money here - on the other hand, if you know what you're doing you can have a nice afternoon/evening here at a reasonable cost. Again, go on the website beforehand. I can't stress this enough! Their wine is expensive as are 'some' seating options so be advised. We were actually there 3x's this spring/summer. Went to a big party under one of their large structured tents, then we had a small party under an umbrella table, and then went up again this past weekend and just sat in chairs and caught a sunset and amazing dinner from Greek Cave food truck. The food trucks (always 2) vary, but they list whose there on the website along with any entertainment (extra cost). Very annoying is the fact you can't call there! You have to text or email and their response(s) are NOT always timely! Unprofessional that you can't call and speak to someone.

Overall, between the cigar smoke, frustrating reservation system, and disappointing wine, this just isn't a place I would recommend if you're looking for a good wine experience.

I can't say enough about our day, we arrived early and were greeted by Alli and fresh fruit and champagne. Everything was decorated beautifully, the staff was helpful, the food was great, the cake was beautiful.....and we loved the chickens! The venue provided so many opportunities for great pictures, and did I mention how nice everyone was?? I highly recommend this venue and Alli for all your wedding needs!

I also do not understand how they can have this go on till midnight when the noise ordinance is 10 pm. Shouldn't they have a paved parking lot for parking. This is just a little bit of the problems there is much more I could go on about.

I've been volunteering there since the beginning of this year (minus the three months when I was recovering from a broken wrist). Couple things. Stockpiles / shelves are getting seriously low. Our pantry is mainly dependent on Foodshare and donations from locals. Families are vetted. Some of the recipients are homeless or live in cars. Consider volunteering at a local pantry or soup kitchen, and consider donating money and / or food. It seems as though our director is weekly shopping at Walmart to buy canned and boxed non-perishable items that we would otherwise run out of.
