Tarrywile Park & Mansion Reviews
Elizabeth Peacock(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-04-2023 Tarrywile is an absolutely beautiful venue! We fell in love with the grounds before touring the mansion, but once we went inside, we knew this was the place for us. Loraine was so easy to work with and her enthusiasm about Tarrywile is contagious. The mansion is gorgeous and being able to have indoor and outdoor options for the ceremony and reception was ideal. Though we had hoped for an outdoor wedding, cold and rain forced our late April wedding indoors, where we were able to have an amazing ceremony inside the conservatory. Our guests loved how cozy the rooms felt and we had a wonderful experience there. Highly recommend! Reviewed on 07-05-2023
Deb Endyke(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-10-2022 When our daughter and her fiance (now husband) discussed their wedding plans, there were two things they agreed on immediately, the food and venue. Tarrywile Park was the site of their first date in 2012, and it has remained a special place in their hearts. Over the 18-month-long journey to the wedding date, the staff of Tarrywile was wonderful to work with. Loraine, the event coordinator, is a delight. She was very responsive, patient, and always took the time to thoroughly answer the many questions we had. During the week before the wedding, Loraine was a source of calm in a chaotic situation when the bride and groom contracted Covid. She worked with the day-of coordinator to change seating plans and ensure that everything would go smoothly. The venue itself, on the National Register of Historic Places, is a lovely, intimate setting for a ceremony and reception, and the grounds are meticulously maintained. Surrounded by a 722-acre public park, Tarrywile is the perfect place for a romantic wedding. Reviewed on 19-10-2022
Isabella Lombardo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-09-2020 This venue is an unbelievable hidden treasure! Due to the recent pandemic my husband and I had to rearrange our wedding day plans three times... We ended up finding Tarrywile during one of our searches online and they had our wedding date available (09/26/2020) The space is huge and the price is unreal for what you receive. There are endless possibilities with how and where to set up your ceremony, reception and cocktail hour and the opportunity for beautiful pictures are endless inside and out. There is also beautiful space upstairs for the girls and guys to get ready. With all of the COVID precautions we had 26 guest so we decided to do everything on the Veranda with cocktail style tables and a live band and I couldn't have asked for more, it was so intimate and romantic. Our day was truly amazing and I cannot highlight this venue enough. I will mention it is more for a couple looking for a historical/vintage look so if your into more of a modern style I couldn't see it as an option. I worked with Ann-Marie and she was very detailed and helpful in all aspects. She was always available for meeting and answered any questions I had right up until the day of the wedding. If your in search of a COVID wedding spot this honestly checked off all the boxes! It was safe, beautiful and spacious Reviewed on 07-10-2020
Andrea Streng(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-10-2019 Beautiful facility and awesome staff. Being able to bring in your own caterer let the couple really make the event unique to them. Just spectacular. Reviewed on 31-10-2019

Carla Butler(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-09-2019 We had a wonderful experience working with Tarrywile staff, especially Anne-Marie Sholtes, while planning the rehearsal dinner for our son and his beautiful bride. We appreciated her assistance in making this process an easy one as we live out of state. Tarrywile Park & Mansion is a stunning venue, which our family and friends enjoyed tremendously!

David Bouton(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-08-2019 Great venue! Beautiful, charming, and homey. My wife and I could not have been happier with our wedding there. The staff at Tarrywile was excellent - quick to respond, transparent, and always helpful. They're there to help you along the way. We loved the grounds, and the historic elegance that the house brings. We had an August wedding, but the house was still very cool and dry (it has AC). We thought the dancing in the foyer might be a little crowded, but it was fine, so don't let that deter you. It's great because since all of the pieces of the reception are a la carte, you can make your day as casual or fancy as you'd like. If you're looking to have your reception someplace special and out of the ordinary, this is the place! 10/10 Reviewed on 06-09-2019
Kelly LoVoi(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-05-2019 We loved having our wedding at Tarrywile! We got very lucky and had a beautiful day, so we loved the flexibility to spend time both inside the mansion and outside. We had our ceremony by the gazebo, which looked beautiful in May. Later on, we took pictures in the grounds and at the adjacent park, which was a great opportunity. The staff at Tarrywile were very helpful and accommodating, and allowed us to visit on multiple occasions prior to the wedding day. The day was absolutely perfect and we wouldn't have changed a thing. We would unhesitatingly recommend a wedding at Tarrywile. Reviewed on 22-06-2019
Richard Liverano(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-06-2019 Without hyperbole, the experience with Tarrywile was the best we ever could have wanted or expected out of a venue. A nonprofit organization with an amazing mansion and gorgeous park, with a huge lawn and a lush grape arbor– plus, the most helpful and caring staff–is a lot to ask for in one venue, but Tarrywile provided and then some. While we were lucky in terms of weather, the fact that the venue would have been so incredible in rain or shine was reassuring and stress-relieving.Thanks to all at Tarrywile for a premier experience, especially to Anne-Marie, whose generosity with her time and her willingness to go the extra miles shone through. Reviewed on 20-06-2019
Paul Girardi(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-05-2019 Having our wedding at Tarrywile Park & Mansion was everything that we dreamt. The grounds were beautiful with multiple areas to hold the ceremony including under an arbor-way, at the gazebo or inside under the chandelier in the conservatory. The Mansion was perfect for our reception and provided a nice transition for our guests by having reception and ceremony at the same venue. The veranda was very roomy for cocktail hour while our caterer set everything up inside and te veranda continued to get plenty of use throughout the night. The bride and groom suites where also a nice touch where the wedding party can get ready as well as escape from the crowd to get a little breathing room. The grounds are also perfect for engagement photos and wedding photos since there are many landscape elements, plantings as well as a cliff which provides a nice backdrop for any photo. Overall this venue was perfect and really helped our dream wedding come true. Reviewed on 22-05-2019
Kourtney Slates(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-08-2018 They were easy to work with and made the day go as smoothly as possible. I would definitely recommend them for anyone wedding.

Alyssa Gersten(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-09-2018 The venue was amazing and perfect for our wedding. The house made our wedding feel more homey and there is so much character, we barely had to decorate! We got some great first look photo's in the open field and the grape arbor was a gorgeous place for our ceremony! The venue comes with tables and chairs which is nice. My only complaint is that the chairs are conference chairs with green fabric, so if you do want to use them, you need to buy chair covers. We ended up renting nice chairs, which increased the price, but was totally worth it to bring everything together! Reviewed on 31-10-2018

The staff were very responsive to our questions and worked hand in hand with our vendors. It rained on our wedding day so it was comforting to know there were indoor and outdoor options.The location is amazing, and offers a lot of different options for photos. The mansion with its individual rooms made our wedding feel intimate and special. We did not have to decorate much because the interior is so beautiful. Really recommend if you are looking for a vintage themed wedding! Reviewed on 14-09-2018
Sonya Mendez(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-08-2018 Tarrywile is a beautiful wedding venue. Our wedding was during August. The morning was a little stormy but the day turned out beautiful. The park has so many amazing landscapes to take advantage of and we definitely did! We have our ceremony outdoors under the grape arbor and reception under a beautiful tent. Our wedding was everything anyone could wish for and we are so happy we went with this venue! :-) Reviewed on 31-08-2018
Victoria Begley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-07-2018 Having our wedding reception at Tarrywile Park & Mansion was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made about our wedding day. The park is beyond gorgeous, and the mansion itself is so beautiful inside it hardly needed any decorations the day of. We chose to have our cocktail hour inside the mansion and brought in a tent to put on one of the lawns for dinner and dancing. Anne was so helpful during leading up to the wedding and was always timely with her responses, and patient with us as we figured out the logistics of the day. On the wedding day, so many people complimented the venue and told us how beautiful it was. Because Tarrywile is not a \"wedding factory\" type venue, you have to do a little bit more of the planning yourself, but it is so worth it to have such a UNIQUE and customize-able place. Do not hesitate to have your wedding here!!! Reviewed on 06-08-2018
Shanyce Blanding(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-04-2018 The venue itself was very beautiful. Small but again very beautiful. Had a old-fashion feel. Vendor contact always answered emails promptly. Compared to other vendors the price for rental was reasonable. Reviewed on 22-04-2018
Kathryn Brennan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-06-2017 We got married this past June 24th at Tarrywile mansion and my experience was absolutely wonderful. We came to Tarrywile in early May because our previous venue had been accidentally double booked and we were panicking! Tarrywile not only had our date available, but helped us expedite the process and ease our worried minds. They are extremely flexible and very caring. The grounds are gorgeous, and we utilized all of their outdoor and indoor spaces! My husband and I highly recommend them, and we thank Tarrywile from the bottom of our hearts. Reviewed on 26-01-2018
Michael L(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-01-2019 Our October wedding at Tarrywile couldn’t have been more of a success! The day was unusually warm for the time of year, filled with sun happiness. Anne-Marie was extremely helpful throughout the process and Chris from Carriage House Catering was top of the line! We were married under the beautiful grape arbor and then moved to the veranda for cocktail hour. Later, inside the mansion, the party continued on surrounded by the splendor and beauty of the place itself. The vendors and staff at Tarrywile worked seamlessly together and made the logistics painless and exciting.

From the moment I stepped foot in the building I was able to see myself and my family celebrating and enjoying ourselves there. The building and grounds are beautiful during every season, making decorating a breeze as very few additional decorations are needed. The separate dining rooms and dance floor in the entry hall provide unique venue for any celebration and made it feel like we were having a party in someone’s home. The staff at Tarrywile also made our day more enjoyable by being available for any questions and concerns we had leading up to our wedding. Reviewed on 03-11-2017

Shaina Ungar(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-10-2017 We just had the most romantic, fantastic wedding ever at Tarrywile Mansion. I can't say enough how wonderful the setting was, and how many of my guests gushed about the mansion, grounds, and especially the veranda. We had our ceremony under the grape arbor right before dusk. It needed no extra ornaments, it was so beautiful as is. Our bagpiper played to the side as guests mingled and took their seats, and he roamed the grounds playing while they adjourned to the veranda for cocktail hour. We took some of the prettiest fall photos with our photographer on the grounds and after dark , inside the conservatory! We light it and the veranda up with tinkling lights and it was just...perfection. We used the various rooms inside the mansion and on the veranda to fit our 100 guests, and it was so intimate! Everyone gathered in the foyer to watch our first dance and to see us descend the stairs and be announced. The kitchens our caterer used (Red Pepper Diner) were clean, spacious, and professional. He made all our food on site and it was so flavorful and delicious! Honestly, I will carry the memories we made forever...Tarrywile was my first choice, and we were so lucky to have been able to have our wedding here. You couldn't do any better!

Kaitlyn Cirella(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-09-2017 Tarrywile Park and Mansion is THE place to get married! We decided on Tarrywile because of its beautiful outdoor features, including the grape arbor we had the ceremony under, the gazebo we took photos at, or the small pond that we took our engagement photos at. Besides the scenery, Tarrywile is really the place you can customize your wedding. You can use their preferred list of caterers, photographers, and other vendors, but you can also make it your own, off their list. We decided to use 2 different foot trucks, and with Tarrywile's flexibility, we were really able to make our wedding exactly what we wanted. One thing I do suggest is to use a set up/clean up/wait staff service that comes before, helps throughout and cleans up for you. I highly recommend the service we used, JLS Bartending and Special event services (Jessica Smith; jesssmith06.js@gmail.com- found on Thumbtack- https://www.thumbtack.com/ct/norwalk/food-services/catering-event-coordinating). We set the hours they came and left (9am-8pm) and they did absolutely everything for us (set up tables, including the cloths, plates, etc., brought food to the guests, everything!). Don't think twice about Tarrywile- it's the way to go! Reviewed on 29-09-2017

Anonymous (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-06-2015 I am a graduate student, and my husband was also in school while we were planning the wedding. We wanted a quality location for a reasonable price, and Tarrywile was the best choice in the Danbury area. We had a garden-themed wedding. The grape arbor was a perfect ceremony site. All of our pictures look lush and colorful. \r\rWe had about 100 guests, which is a little tight in the mansion. Get creative, and plan to transition rooms. We turned the conservatory into the dance room. Guests loved that there was both a space for party and space for quieter talking outside. \r\rThe mansion was free on the day before the wedding and we (our family & friends) were therefore allowed to decorate a day early. I'm not sure how we would have pulled it off without this time. Thank you Tarrywile! Reviewed on 13-08-2015
Chelsey Mastriani(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-05-2015 The historic and well cared for mansion and property is full of charm. Our family and friends were able to experience a variety of scenery through out our wedding. Our wedding ceremony was under a blooming grape arbor, cocktail hour was through out the entire mansion, including the conservatory and veranda. Our reception was under a large tent adjacent to conservatory and grape arbor. Pictures were taken around an apple orchard, through out various flower gardens and around a gazebo.
