Gina and the team at Connemara House Farm were a pleasure to work with throughout our wedding planning process. Their communication was always organized, timely, and responsive, putting us at ease every step of the way. They helped us in so many ways, one of them being suggestions on different things to add to make the day even more special, and they did! The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous, with beautifully maintained grounds and a classy, elegant feel perfect for our fall wedding. The dressing rooms provided were stunning, and our day-of coordinator, Lauren, was amazing - she made sure everything ran smoothly and checked in on us to ensure we were stress-free and enjoying our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to bring our vision to life. We highly recommend Connemara House Farm to any couples looking for a perfect New England wedding experience!
