Cannot recommend them enough! Having everything from the rehearsal dinner to the after party in one place was such a blessing, they made it so easy to coordinate and the execution was flawless. All of the food was delicious and fresh, and they had plenty of accommodations for the different diets we had to work with. Jennifer was amazing and helpful throughout the planning process and my day of coordinators Gina and Lexi were great. They kept everything running smoothly and were so sweet. Every single employee from the front desk to the bartenders were so nice and professional. I can't wait to go back as a wedding guest this year!

The most amazing staff!!! From the moment we decided to book Jennifer was amazing to work with answered immediately whenever we had any questions no matter how annoying! Attentive and caring with every detail. Not to mention the food and service was AMAZING. Every request or question we had the day of our wedding was answered and done in no time. We were in the absolute best hands and felt no stress or worry on our wedding day. Having the ability for our guests to party with us at our wedding, head across the hall to the Tavern to party more to having the luxury of walking right up to their room when the night was over was a huge plus!

We cannot say enough good things about the Heritage Hotel. Our wedding was 9/23. We booked it pretty far in advance. From the start, Jennifer Giuliano was incredibly responsive. She helped from the day we booked to even days after. We are so lucky to have found this venue. It was everything we wanted. The Timbers room is stunning. I highly recommend getting the lanterns. Our guests raved about the food. Even though it wained on the day of, there was no stress because plan b was already in place. I had Della as my day of coordinator. She was amazing 10/10! Seriously, she stayed by my side all day and always made sure I had a drink in my hand. She also kept reminding me to eat which was amazing. She even told us if there was any way that it did not rain on our day they would move back to our original plan of having the ceremony outside. It was so nice to just have that option. She even could tell when I was getting overwhelmed and told family and friends to leave my getting ready room for me because I'm non-confrontational. Love her for that. When I say our day was stress-free... it was literally stress-free. Everything went according to plan. The bartenders were so fun our guests are still talking about them. Ask for Steven and Anthony! We had our after-party up in the tavern after. It was pretty good! There were a few downers but overall it was pretty good. There were other people there as it was open to the public, so unfortunately yes, they were eating the food that we paid for for our guests. Nonetheless, we didn't really care. I highly recommend getting to the bar quickly even as bride and groom because my husband was mingling. Then when he went to order a drink from the bar they said they had already called last call(it was like 11:30pm). But it was not the last call, and no he was not drunk he was just high on life. He told them he was the groom and the bartender still said no. He tried to get his friend to get him a drink, but unfortunately, they still said no. They continued serving others though. I'm not sure what the reasoning was, but just make sure you get there fairly quickly after the ceremony so you can get a drink! The only other weird thing was that for the after-party we requested a tray of mac and cheese, but for some reason had mac and cheese bites. Not sure if there was a miscommunication somewhere but I was looking forward to having the mac and cheese. Those were the only few bummers, but that still was so little compared to how seamless our day went. I brought a lot of my own decor in and they decorated just how I wanted and even better. To all my brides in planning mode, if you want a stress-free and supportive planning process choose the heritage hotel!

We recently tied the knot at the heritage in early April. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and after party at the hotel. We didn’t want our guests to have to drive anywhere on the day of and the Heritage make that possible. The staff was friendly, professional and made the day flow smoothly! They have a great team and the food was fantastic. Our guests still can’t stop talking about the event!

The Heritage has always had a special place in my heart because it is located in my hometown and I knew having my wedding there would make it that much more special. My Husband and I got married on September 30th and can't stop talking about how having everything there (ceremony, reception, after party, lodging) was the best decision we ever made. The hotel and grounds are just absolutely beautiful and the timbers reception room is simply breathtaking. But what made it even more special are the staff. Jennifer was incredible leading up to the day with being responsive, keeping things on track and answering any questions we had, and our coordinator on the day, Kara, was unbelievable. We didn't even need a wedding planner! She made sure everything was set up perfectly and that the flow of the day was exactly how we wanted it to be. She is such a wonderful person and we feel so thankful to have met her. All of our guests raved about the food and how helpful and friendly all of the staff were. They also still talk about how amazing of a wedding it was. You can't beat the easy flow with going from the ceremony at the stone garden, to the cocktail hour room with the outdoor patio, and then simply moving to the next room to the reception, and only needing to go up to your room at the end of the night! It was a dream day and there is absolutely nothing we would change about it. If you want an unforgettable and special wedding with everything in one place, you must book the Heritage!

Jennifer did an amazing job coordinating throughout the process and was very attentive to our needs. We got amazing feedback from everyone who attended. The food was great and everyone loved the convenience of being able to stay the night in the same location as the reception. We had our ceremony on site in the Garden which was absolutely beautiful. The pictures came out amazing with the many different spots throughout the venue to take photos.

It was so convenient to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and hotel all at one location. The bridal suite was perfect for the bridal party to get ready in and the groomsmen had a great time golfing and got ready in a hotel room as well. The staff were all amazing. Jennifer helped keep us organized and answered all our questions leading up to the day, Kara was amazing and so helpful the night of the wedding, and the waitstaff and bartenders were so much fun and kept the party going all night (special shout-out to Lexi). We spent the rest of our weekend at Heritage Hotel and had the time of our life in the Tavern with the best bartenders (Quon, Craig, Steve, and Lauren). Overall, we 10/10 recommend and wish we could do it all over again! Heritage Hotel truly gave us the wedding of our dreams.

Look no further than The Heritage Hotel!Every possible detail was orchestrated to perfection by Jennifer. Every request met with ease and executed flawlessly. Our day of coordinator, Della, was a delight, soothed any concern and conducted the day with grace. Every SINGLE staff member we encountered was so sweet, made sure anything we needed was seen to, and went above and beyond to make our day so special. We didn’t have a care in the world all day. Need a place to hide away or get ready? The hospitality room is fully equipped, gorgeous and comfortable. The food was delicious and suitable for every dietary preference. Indulge a little too much at the bar? Gifts, decorations, extra details were all collected, packed and loaded on a luggage cart for easy pick up the next morning. Our guests attended a gorgeous reception, followed by a great after party in the Tavern upstairs and crawl into bed all under one roof. (No designated driver needed!) The Heritage even nursed our hangovers with a delicious breakfast buffet. Every expectation was exceeded and we couldn’t be happier. As someone who planned 3 different weddings for the same marriage (thanks Covid), our experience at The Heritage was well worth the long long wait and we are so grateful.

We cannot recommend the Heritage Hotel enough! We had our wedding there this past July! First of all, we were a Covid couple who had to postpone our wedding from 2020 to 2021. The staff, especially Jennifer, were so helpful with moving our wedding date that it made a stressful time in our lives so much easier. Overall, this venue has everything you could want! Our guests stayed at the hotel and enjoyed their stay as you get all the amenities at the hotel like use of the gym and pools. We had our ceremony in the stone garden on the most perfect day! It’s a very unique and beautiful space! The timbers room for the reception is very grand and rustic, but also has a cozy feel. The food was also amazing! We did the buffet stations with steak and chicken, mash potato and pasta bar and more! Everyone loved the food. We also had a donut wall! We had the best day ever and it was all thanks to the amazing staff! Shout out to Sean, Della, and Faith! They were fantastic with helping to make everything go smoothly. We also had breakfast the next morning at the hotel which was so nice not to worry about going somewhere. You will not regret having your event at the Heritage Hotel!

Not only is the venue itself spectacular but the staff was out of this world helpful and a pleasure to work with! From planning all the details with Jennifer to Stephanie making sure our day went perfectly we had so much support that I never doubted that our day would be flawless. In fact, on our wedding day our cake never arrived from an outside bakery and Stephanie got it handled immediately between repeated calls to the bakery all the way to sending staff to buy us a cake at the last minute just so we didn’t do without. My husband and I loved every single second of working with this venue and it’s staff. I can’t say enough good things about them and they will always hold a special place in our hearts for all they did for us.

The moment we booked the Heritage Hotel, we knew it would be our dream wedding. Jennifer, Barri, and team, answered every single question we had within a day, sometimes the same day, and reassured us throughout the process (esp with COVID). I loved that we were able to use 3 rooms (one for ceremony, one for cocktail hour, and one for reception) that our decorator was able to completely enhance the space as well as transform it. Our guests RAVED about the food, specifically the filet mignon and salmon, as well as the Caesar salad - and we completely agree. The food was GREAT! Our day of coordinator was always checking on us and making sure both us and the wedding party were okay, had food in our stomachs, and full drinks. I could not possibly recommend the Heritage Hotel more - they are truly amazing.

My husband and I were married here in October of 2020. We chose this venue because of the rustic appeal, but affordable price. In addition to planning a wedding in a pandemic, we also had to deal with indecisiveness and inconsistency within the venue. We spoke with Barri on multiple occasions who promised us things, that we later found out from Jennifer were false. One month before our wedding, our lighting team reached out to us telling us that we should plan our lights again because we will not be allowed inside the Timbers- we were not told this by the Heritage Team. The maitre'd, Sean, was AMAZING. He really made up for the experience leading up to our wedding. He was everywhere...literally... serving food, checking in with the DJ, helping my elderly grandparents. I appreciate everything he did for us.

The Heritage Hotel was actually the first and only venue my husband and I visited when we first started looking around and it had everything we were looking for. The biggest thing for us was to have a place with everything in one spot: the ceremony, cocktail hour/reception, and an after party. Plus it's a hotel so most of our guests were able to stay right there! Jennifer and Kyle were so helpful getting everything set up before the day, and Jackie coordinated everything during our wedding flawlessly. She really took care of every detail and we didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. The courtyard garden was perfect for the ceremony, and the reception was so beautiful with the exact cozy feel we were going for. It was amazing having an after party spot right at the hotel - it really helped extend the night and our friends and family loved it!Everyone raved about how lovely the venue staff were and how smooth the day went! 100% recommend Heritage Hotel!

My husband and I were coming up short in our list of possible wedding venues in NY when we decided to check out what CT had to offer. We had ONE CT prospective in our pile and that is all it took. I think we had overlooked HH at first bc it was a hotel-we were shocked. Shocked at how amazing this hotel had to offer. I wanted a barn feel and the Timbers room was everything and more! I think we already said YES to ourselves before signing contracts when we saw the stone garden. Picturesque place for a beautiful and romantic occasion. Then Jennifer told us about the upcoming vineyards and we were in love. Fast forward-our day was beyond perfect. We managed to get an opening on the year anniversary of our engagement which was phenomenal AND turned out to be the last summer day in September! Blessed with 85 degree weather and the most amazing photos and video in that gorgeous growing vineyard. We couldn't have asked for for a better turn out, from the ambiance to the food.We worked with Jennifer and Kyle through out the whole planning process and they were beyond helpful from start to finish. Super sad they weren't present the day of the wedding though. We were assisted by our maitre d' Jackie who was a delight.If I can give future brides some advice, choosing a hotel as a wedding venue was the best decision ever. Our guest thanked us for making it like a mini vacation for them. Booking room blocks was super easy and affordable and so many things to do within the property among hosting our wedding. The Heritage Hotel made my dream wedding a reality and I would recommend them to all future brides who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of NY.

We could not have asked for a better venue! Jennifer was incredible- she was patient and answered all our questions up until the day of our wedding. Our guest could not stop raving about how friendly all the staff were. The garden (where the ceremony took place) was beautiful and made for the perfect backdrop- there was no need to pay for additional floral arrangements! The girls got ready in the executive suite on the 3rd floor and the boys got ready in the executive suite on the 1st floor. The boys spent the morning golfing (called ahead for reservations) and then hung by the pool. We had our rehearsal dinner, after party and farewell breakfast all on site and John was more than accommodating. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking to celebrate their big day!

The heritage is such a hidden little gem and I cannot recommend it enough! They were so amazing on the day of. Jennifer coordinated everything and made it run so smoothly, along with Althea who got my decor prepped (She did awesome! She added her own little touches based on what I had brought and set it all up beautifully). We got married in the rock garden outside and it was such a unique ceremony space and the reception room is all dark wood and romantic. It has the rustic appeal (vineyard too!) with the convenience of a hotel. Even a big tavern that we hung out in all weekend. The staff are awesome,we asked for an extension cord (we had makeup artist lights and two hairdressers) and they brought us a brand new one in a bag! Honestly the best decision I made, I wouldn't change a thing. Oh and the food was really good!

Chris Allen worked so hard to coordinate everything and to make sure that the whole reception went smoothly. I was most impressed with how the staff decorated the reception hall. We had a lot of freshly cut greens that we brought to the hotel in plastic bags; the staff arranged the greens beautifully on each table, as if they were professional florists!

We fit roughly 15 people in it getting ready. The day of coordinator, Jennifer, was quick to accommodate myself and my husband as well. Whenever we were without a drink, she brought one over to us.

All of our guests complemented the flow of the entire event from the ceremony to the end of the night. The food was outstanding. My husband actually said \"I feel like I made this at home\" (in a good way) about the eggplant napoleon and our filet mignons were cooked perfectly. When the reception was over, a nice girl already had all of my stuff on a cart for me to bring up to my room (which we LOVED that you also stay right there). They definitely cover every detail and were open to all of our different ideas. We were able to put lit sparklers on the top of our cake! We stayed a couple of nights after the wedding which I highly suggest. It is so very relaxing and cozy there. Heated pools, sauna, steam room and fireplaces going in the winter. The Tavern had great food and drinks with pool tables and couches by the fire. In the summertime, there is an outside pool and a golf course. I hope to be a guest to a wedding there sometime soon!

Go see this place in person! We chose the Heritage Hotel for our July wedding, and it was the BEST decision. Jennifer and Chris are great to work with, the food was amazing, and the venue is beautiful! Online pictures really do not do it justice- it has been recently renovated, and the stone garden was lush and colorful for our ceremony. The Timbers room is stunning: huge stone fireplace, wood beams that feel like a barn, and full-length windows that look out over the patio. The staff was able to accommodate serving the dinner family style (highly recommended) and everything ran smoothly. The best part was hanging out in the pub afterwards and knowing that our guests could go right upstairs to their rooms. Highly recommended and a great value!

So happy we found the perfect reception venue at the Heritage Hotel in the Timbers Room! Jennifer and Chris Allen are superb and very easy to work with! They addressed all of my questions promptly and made the months running up to the date of the wedding easy! Turning in our final counts and food selections was simple and they even made sure we had high chairs at the proper tables ahead of time. The day of the wedding, the tables were set exactly the way I had hoped and decorations distributed as we discussed on drop off day. They even helped include a last min wedding gift (a giant wood carved anchor) into our sweetheart table decorations! We had SO MANY guests compliment the amazing food and both mine and my husband's filet were so delicious and exactly the way we had requested they be cooked. We also had a yummy breakfast the next morning, and the food again was on point. We also checked out both pools the morning after the wedding and they were clean and exactly what we had hoped for! We cannot say enough wonderful things about hosting our wedding reception at Heritage Hotel and their attentive, kind event staff! 5 stars to this special crew! The only fault of the evening was working with the front desk staff as they were not good about handing out our welcome bags, even giving out ones for another party/wedding to some of our guests. We also had 7 left over after the wedding (should have only had 2) and unfortunately individuals who came in Friday missed our welcome reception as they did not get their bags. (I confirmed the day previously- in person- the number of bags and that everyone was listed on our room block). My sister and brother both also went back to the front desk to request their goodie bags cause they had helped make them, but didn't get one. At that same time, the front desk staff member was not very polite. Additionally, upon my husband and I arriving for the reception, we quickly wanted to check in to our room and refresh before going to the cocktail hour. We missed most of the cocktail hour as the front desk staff did not advise us the wedding suite was on a totally separate side of the hotel and required a separate elevator. We walked around the main part of the hotel rooms for 27 min, and called the front desk and were put on hold, before a wonderful cleaning lady came to our aid and brought us to the correct elevator. I didn't think we would have needed to ask, but make sure you do ask directions if you have access to the suite. However, the suite was amazing, bed was uber comfortable and the remainder of the staff was very helpful and accommodating. Just wish I had gotten to enjoy some of the yummy cocktail snacks that everyone raved about!

Our criteria when looking for a venue were to be able to have our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and guest rooms in one location with a rustic vibe. My husband and I knew the Heritage was the perfect location for our ceremony and reception just from one look at their website. Jennifer was very responsive and helpful with all of the planning along the way. The venue was perfect, and Chris kept everything running smoothly the day of our wedding. Our guests commented on how great their meals were and most of them stayed the night and thought their rooms were excellent as well. If you are looking for a rustic venue, you won't regret choosing the Heritage!

I cannot say enough good things about the Heritage Hotel. It was the absolute perfect location for our wedding reception - the room was exactly what we were picturing, the hotel rooms were absolutely perfect especially with all of our out-of-town guests, and the wedding coordinators were SO helpful. Chris was assigned to our wedding, and she was absolutely incredible - we were definitely a little more high maintenance than most couples, but she just ran with it and made it all work so perfectly. They made everything that we wanted happen. All of our guests loved the rooms, loved the food, drinks, and space. Again, I can go on and on, but really just go ahead and book your wedding here because you won't find anything better!

When searching for a wedding venue we searched NY & CT. I attended a bridal show and liked a picture I had seen in a photographer's book. It was of the Heritage Hotels main room. After going to a dozen places I pulled the piece of paper out of my bridal bag and asked my fiance if we could look at one more place. He was a little hesitant but I am so glad we did. The Heritage Hotel has the best staff Jennifer, Chris, and JP were amazing. The guest loved the flow of the wedding, the views of the garden and the FOOD was amazing! One of my guest loved the food so much they booked Thanksgiving dinner for their family! The rooms are affordable and everything is so new. I received my fairy tale wedding. We even had our rehearsal dinner on site in a different room from the wedding and the food and staff were wonderful. The bar on site is a great after party place with pool tables and lots of seating. My photographer had so many places he could take pictures and truly love everyone of them! Thank You To the staff of the Heritage Hotel for making my wedding AMAZING!!

I had my wedding reception at the heritage hotel on a friday night in June and the venue was absolutely beautiful! I was going for a rustic look and the room I had it in was perfect. I worked with Chris and Jennifer in the months leading up to the wedding and they were very accommodating (Chris was the one present on my actual wedding night). In addition the prices were very reasonable and the wedding package we chose had great value for the money. While I was beyond happy with the set up of the room and the decor, I was a little disappointed with dinner. We had the sit down plated dinner and salad came out first, followed shortly by pasta, but then the entrees took almost an hour to come after that. Many of my guests said something to me about once the wedding was over which made me upset. Since dinner came out so late my guests didn't have as much time to dance... but I wasn't going to let it bother me. The rest of the night was great until the very end when I was saying goodbye to my guests. Chris came up to me and told me I had to clear out the entire room of all my centerpieces, flowers and decorations (and I had a lot) and bring everything up to my hotel room right then and there. As the bride I didn't think this was something I'd have to do on my wedding night. In my opinion the hotel should have at least had a closet they could throw everything in until the morning and staff that could have helped. It kind of put a damper on the rest of our night, but luckily our families helped us clean up. Even though a couple things didn't go as planned, my husband and I still enjoyed every second of our special day.

Luckily the date was available, upon booking Jennifer and Chris helped up begin to plan our event, they assured us the updates to the venue would be done for our wedding. \r\rThe updates to the venue were incredible, the new carpet, the chairs and the room updates were perfect. We've had nothing but amazing compliments since our wedding. \r\rThe communication between the Heritage and our Wedding party was completely efficient up until the wedding day. The wedding went off without a hitch, the whole day went perfectly. \r\rThe food at the venue was fantastic, previously we had heard negative reviews but my wife and I are in completely disagreement with them. \r\rFinally, the updates made to the hotel rooms were modern and classy. The size and price was perfect for our guests staying overnight. We loved the idea of being able to just walk upstairs at the end of the night, rather than sit on a bus for 45 min. \r\rWe'd highly recommend the heritage hotel for your next wedding or event.

The Heritage had everything and more that we could have hoped for. Jen and Chris were wonderful to work with and very accommodating. I had a couple of unique requests (including making my own cake and a shuttle bus pickup to go see fireworks, our wedding was July 4, 2015) and they made sure that the process of putting our special day together and every detail met (and I would say exceeded) our expectations. I was looking for the Country Elegance look I call it (rustic but elegant) and I got it. The room is amazing with the rustic beams and field stone fireplace. Everything you need is right here. Our vendors (new to The Heritage) worked so well at the venue you would never know. The food was amazing. We received so many comments on how lovely and great the wedding was. So rewarding to hear after months of making your own decorations, favors etc. to see how well The Heritage and our other vendors made our vision for our special day a reality. Thank you to The Heritage and especially to Jen and Chris. We look forward to a visit for your annual Valentine's Day dinner. Some of our friends that are spread out in a couple of other states even want to start a new tradition of all of us getting together for a mini friend retreat at The Heritage each year going forward. Looking forward to making new memories in the same place we had one of the best days of our lives : )

I was very single but I said if I ever get married, I want it to be here. Well, five years later that dream came true. I instantly fell in love with the rustic, elegant feel and everything else followed. Brides, if you feel overwhelmed by this process, book the Heritage. They are so knowledgeable, they help you every step of the way, and it was just simply seamless. They also gave us great recommendations for vendors. We had TONS of out of town guests stay there (70+) and some from England! They couldn't stop commenting about how amazingly they were treated and how wonderful the service and hotel were. They also did our rehearsal dinner the night before by the pool which was awesome. And let me tell you, the guests loved the after party at the bar in the hotel and only having to get in the elevator to go to bed! Best wedding ever. Thank you Chris and Jennifer!

Food was delish, cooked well, and service was great. \r\rWe loved that this venue had experience and expertise with weddings without feeling like a \"wedding factory.\" \r\rWe would recommend the Heritage to anyone!

We got married and had our reception at The Heritage Hotel this October and everything was perfect! The day/ night of the wedding Chris Allen was with us and she made sure everything was perfect from the ceremony timing to whatever my husband and I needed was covered. All the staff at the hotel were great from the pub staff, the front desk, the catering staff for the wedding and even brunch. Everyone was helpful and friendly. It really was a great experience. The food was great and the garden was beautiful for the ceremony. \rWe booked our wedding with the Heritage through the director of catering, Jennifer Giuliano. Jennifer was amazing throughout the entire process. She answered any and all questions and made things happen during the year plus it took to plan our wedding. Jennifer was also very calming when the wedding nerves started to come. She was beyond helpful and comforting. I can not say enough to describe what a pleasure it was to work with Jennifer. \rI highly recommend the Heritage Hotel for your wedding!! Our guest all complimented the venue ( Eight Mile Brook and the Garden). Our wedding was perfect!! Thank you to all the Heritage Staff, especially Jennifer for making our special day so perfect!

I’ll admit, I was pretty nervous to find out we were the 3rd of three weddings in one weekend. However, everything went off beautifully! Chris and Jennifer were wonderful, no detail was too small and every question we had was addressed; we really felt like we were the only wedding that weekend. So a quick overview of what was important to us and why we chose the Heritage Hotel:\r1)Location: we wanted a venue where we could have our ceremony, cocktail hour, photos and reception all in the same area and not be stuck with your standard ‘ballroom’ reception hall with crystal chandeliers etc… Heritage Hotel delivered big here! Not only is the outdoor ceremony space BEAUTIFUL but they also have solid backup plans in case of inclement weather which made me feel so much better since it was showering off and on all weekend. The reception area is gorgeous too! Definitely a little more rustic with exposed wood beams but with their little touches – votive candles and twinkle lights around the edge of the room, crisp classic white linens and covered chairs – it still had an upscale feel and huge windows to let in lots of natural light and the beautiful scenery. It was exactly the non-traditional and still classy look we wanted\r2)Lodging: my family is on the west coast, his in on the east so we had a LOT of family traveling and it was important to us that we have somewhere for all of them to stay. The Heritage Hotel set up a room block for us no problem. The rooms were pretty standard (though they didn't have a mini bar which we thought was weird), what really sold us was all the amenities. Between the pool, tennis courts, golf course, walking paths, spa, fitness center and all the gathering places to hang out with friends (or hold Greek dancing lessons!) our guests had plenty of entertainment to choose from\r3)Value: we search PA, NY, NJ and CT for wedding venues and we found the Heritage Hotel to be the most reasonable. What made it really easy was that pretty much everything we wanted – stations dinner, open bar and wedding cake were included in their package price. Plus the vendor they use for the wedding cake was TOP notch! Seriously, I've never heard that many compliments about wedding cake before\r4)Staff: being from out of state I knew I was going to need a lot of help, planning, finding local vendors and such. From the moment we talked to the staff at the Heritage Hotel I felt at ease. Chris and Jennifer did an AMAZING job! Especially when it came to dealing with all the ‘requests’ from my mother in law – they were rock stars!\r5)Food: wasn't that important to me and was a little awkward since they were changing chefs when we booked and they don't do tastings for station dinners. We ate at their pub and thought it was good but we were blown away by our wedding dinner, it was AWESOME! Tasty, fresh, perfectly seasoned, we got a lot of compliments on quality & quantity\r6)Environmentally Friendly: we’re both pretty Eco-conscious so it was important to us that is we were spending this much money it be as ‘green’ as possible. Knowing that the hotel was working on getting green certified and that the chef sources as much local, seasonal and sustainable food as possible made us feel really good about choosing the Heritage Hotel.\r\rOverall everything was beautiful and well beyond anything I had ever imagined our wedding day would be. We couldn't be happier and are so glad we chose to go with the Heritage Hotel for our big day!

This was the perfect venue for us. Most of our guests were from MA or NJ, so it was right in the middle and since its a hotel, everyone could stay right on site. The rooms are big and clean, and staff is super friendly. Our reception was in 8 mile brook, which has such unexpected ambiance for a hotel ballroom. Lots of exposed wood and a fireplace give it a warm, rustic feel. Jen and Chris - the wedding coordinators - are awesome and super friendly and helpful. Overall, our experience was great and I encourage any bride looking for a helpful venue that comes with everything you need, including a beautiful setting (!), to consider the Heritage!

Unfortunately, Jen was away on leave during my interaction with Heritage. Most of my communication was with the maitre d- Chris. I was disappointed with my overall experience with the hotel. There were several things that were not delivered. \r\rFor example, the staff completely groomed the garden, the day before the wedding. There were areas where plants were visibly viable but cut. I was there a week prior and the garden was green. I was forced to buy a lot of mums last minute to make up for it. \r\rCocktail hour was to be 6 passed hors d' oeuvres and two stations. My guests complained that there was always a line to the stations. Barely anyone noticed the passed hors d' oeuvres.\r\rThe food was sub par. Veal and salmon were overcooked. Potatoes were undercooked. \r\rThere was supposed to be wine bottles with service at each table, this didn't happen. They did one wine pass for dinner. \r\rI had specific directions for my centerpieces, it was done wrong. Thankfully, my maid of honor had to go down for something else and it was corrected prior to the reception. \r\rChris called me about an hour before to tell me all \"the things that are going wrong\". (minor issues but were presented in a way that stressed me at a time I didn't anything else.\r\rChris was supposed to be my bridal attendant. I saw her thrice, while we were sitting for dinner. (Bride and groom never sit). After that, I had to actively seek her out.\r\rThey switched the table arrangements, so my husbands family was placed in the back corner!

Our wedding was 7/6/13. It was an incredibly hot day. When we got to the reception site we immediately started taking pictures. I would have been nice if our maître-d offered us water or some sort of beverage. it wasn't until around 5:30 that she brought us to our hospitality suite. At that point there was a nice spread of beverages and platters. During this time, our guests were at a cocktail hour where there were two platters as well as hot appetizers. The appetizers did not come very often and my mom had to go to the kitchen and complain. When we first signed a contract we were promised each person attending would get 8 of each app, this didn't happen. The bridal party only received a couple appetizers as well.\r\rWhen we entered the room it looked beautiful. The Heritage did a wonderful job decorating and making the room look warm and inviting.

When we first decided to have our wedding in Connecticut, to appease my parents (because I grew up there) versus having it in cheaper Buffalo where we currently live, I was thoroughly discouraged at the lack of venues in the area...until we stumbled upon the Heritage Hotel. Initially just stopping in to assess lodging options, we fell in love with the entire place! A party is what we wanted and a party is what we got!\r\rThree Mile Brook was everything we wanted for our reception: vaulted ceilings, rustic feel, roaring fireplace, antique piano for our cake, expansive windows looking out to the snow falling, grand staircase for the entrance. On the day of the wedding in February, it was perfect. No one can explain the feeling that you have when, after months of planning, you look out over into your reception and see all of your hard work payoff. The staff did a better job setting up than we could have ever dreamed. It was truly amazing, it was magical.\r\rPlanning a wedding from a distance was incredibly difficult but Jennifer Giuliano made it possible. She listened to all our our ideas and turned them into reality. She never told us \"no\" and made us feel like we were really getting everything we ever wanted, and we did! She arranged everything from contracts to rooms to our homemade beer being on all the tables!\r\rChris Allen also worked with us as our day neared and was the one on-site on our wedding day from the start until the last guest crawled up the stairs. All I can say is that Chris made it all happen and come together. She is the ultimate lifesaver! \r\rAs for the food...we are still hearing guests comment on how they have never had such great food at a wedding before. Even our extremely picky, world-traveler friends could not get enough of the the fresh raw bar and perfectly cooked meat! The layouts were absolutely beautiful, too. Our wedding party had their own suite with a full display of food and drinks on ice. When we went out with our photographers to do our own pictures, they brought a whole tray just for us...definitely much needed and appreciated!\r\rWe also decided to continue our reception in Shadrach's Pub just steps from the reception afterwards. We worked with the chef to bring in some of our Buffalo favorites for late-night snacks and it was awesome! And for a very great price, too!\r\rSunday morning we had a brunch downstairs. The food was delicious and my husband is still raving about the eggs, bacon and salsa! The best, most endearing part was that most of the decorations from the night before had been brought into the room...so special and unexpected! A very nice touch to relive the memories from the night before!\r\rFor our guests, it was a true luxury to have all of the events in one spot, from being all together at the pub Friday and Saturday night to stumbling down to Sunday Brunch. It sure beat dealing with the hassle and cost of transportation for everyone. People came as guests and left as new family and friends. It truly gave us the feel of a \"destination wedding\" without leaving my home state!\r\rThe Heritage knows how to do weddings. They know what works and what does not. Do not be afraid to ask for something because they will bend over backwards to make it happen and at a fraction of the price of other venues in the area! Trust them with your wedding and, I promise, you will not be disappointed. It was the best decision of our lives, aside from deciding to marry each other :)

The guest rooms, though small, were nice and clean. The executive suite was HUGE, perfect for all of the bridal party to get ready in and take pictures. The staff was super helpful at every turn, from delivering welcome bags to our guests to helping with last minute needs. The hotel bar was also nice, though closed a little too early for our after party needs. The only major drawback was the fact that the suites are on the complete other side of the hotel from all the other rooms, so trips between took a long time.

We used the Heritage as our wedding venue and also for accomidations for the wedding. First let me say that the wedding planner, Jennifer and Maitre D, Chris, were great. Jennifer always got back to me promptly with any questions I had and was super nice throughout the whole process. She and the Maitre D Chris, were both there the day of the wedding to make sure things went off smoothly. \r\rNow onto the venue, yes, The Heritage is a great place for a fall wedding. We had our ceremony in the rock garden where the leaves had not been blown out since last year. Part of the Heritage building itself is rotting in the corner of the building. Did anyone notice the day of the wedding? I am sure they didnt, but I did. You do have to bring things into the rock garden to spruce it up. I brought in mums, pumpkins, hay bails and a ton of candles which the staff did set out for me. (and they cleaned them up after the wedding which was super nice). The steak was overcooked for our guests. We heard nothing but praises about the chicken and salmon. \r\rThe bakery that the facility uses, Edible Dreams was responsible for making our cake. We chose spice cake to go along with our fall theme. Only one layer of the cake was spice cake, and the rest was vanilla cake. I was not thrilled about that. \r\rIn addition, we had wedding crashers in our ceremony, separate crashers in our photo booth and a random person signed my guest book. \r\rAll in all, it was a beautiful wedding. I am sure as the bride, I am the only one that noticed the small things. It was difficult for us to find a venue that would allow 118 people on a Saturday night and that is how we ended up at The Heritage. At $100 a person, I would have expected the steak to be better, but it is wedding food and they were making 70 of them at once. I gave the overall rating of a 3 instead of a 5 due to the conditions in the rock garden, the overcooked food, wedding crashers and my friend who had to leave the hotel at 4 AM due to a leak in the room above her. The Hotel did refund her money and gave her another night free to stay. In addition, my mother paid for my room on Friday night and asked the hotel staff to let me know upon my check out. When I checked out I was told it was paid for, but they did not know by whom. In the end, I would give the venue 4 stars, because of it's New England charm (however, you do have to spice it up a bit yourself which can be done fairly cheap with some mason jar candles and flowers) and the hotel a 3 for the service. The hotel it self is a bit run down, but otherwise is nice with nice facilities.

We used the Heritage as our wedding venue and also for accomidations for the wedding. First let me say that the wedding planner, Jennifer and Maitre D, Chris, were great. Jennifer always got back to me promptly with any questions I had and was super nice throughout the whole process. She and the Maitre D Chris, were both there the day of the wedding to make sure things went off smoothly. \r\rNow onto the venue, yes, The Heritage is a great place for a fall wedding.
