The Hinterland is a fairly new venue, but that being said our wedding day still ran quite smoothly. It was the perfect size for our 70 person wedding. Big enough to allow for ample dance space, and also felt very full without being cramped. Communication with the venue was sometimes difficult/unclear, but overall we had a very positive experience.

I would book this venue 1 million times over! It was absolutely beautiful. So many options for rentals in house and just an all around gorgeous backdrop for our special day. Kristyn was so responsive and helpful, she provided coordination for the wedding and made any questions or worries I had fade away. She worked with all my vendors and created a seamless timeline that flowed perfectly through the night. I cannot recommend this venue enough. With all the hard work she is putting into this venue I can only imagine how beautiful it will become for the next wedding season…perfection. 🤍All photos by Alicia Hoffman photography 🤍 Reviewed on 20-06-2023
The Hinterland was exactly what we were looking for… a rustic, simplistic barn venue with a quaint and pretty country feel! We fell in love as soon as we saw it and booked right away. Kristyn was a pleasure to work with, very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend. Our wedding was everything we dreamed it to be! Reviewed on 03-06-2023
Noel Tufano(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-05-2023 The Hinterland is the perfect location for a beautiful, laid back, and fun event. All of my guests loved everything, inside and out. We had 80 people. We setup yard games outside and a dance floor inside so there was something for everyone. The location was the perfect place for pictures as well. The price is so affordable and everyone I dealt with were so helpful, nice, and prompt. I would suggest this location to anyone that asks! Reviewed on 30-05-2023
Sabrina Demorest(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-12-2022 When we found The Hinterland in early 2022, we were over the moon! We decided to book for 2024. A couple weeks after we booked, we unfortunately had to cancel. I contacted the owner to explain the circumstances and notified her we had to cancel. We were canceling over 2 years in advance and offered to assist in finding a couple to book our date, but The Hinterland would allow us to downscale the event to a different date, hold the date for another event or cancel. At that time, we did not have another event that the date could be used for. Our original date was booked with 65 guests. The Hinterland let us know that if we downscaled, we would use the funds paid for the services as long as there are not additional guests. If we downscaled, we may be able to just use the deposit with no additional payments, but it all depended on the final plans, with timing and guest count. If we did a ceremony only with 25 guests we wouldn’t owe anything additional from the deposit we already paid ($3,728.35). Due to the circumstances, I asked The Hinterland is we would transfer our date and offered to support finding a couple to take our place at which time they said this would not be allowed. Due to the circumstances and being booked in far out in the most popular wedding month, I was confident we would be able to provide support In transferring our date. However, the owners refused to allow this or refund even a portion of our deposit. Despite the contract stating that the deposit and any additional payments were non-refundable we were hoping for some flexibility due to the time between cancelling and the event date along with the conversation we had with the owner during the tour about cancelling.Additionally, we felt that having a ceremony only for $3,728.35 did not make sense. During the tour, we asked what would happen due to needing to cancel (due to Covid or other reasons) and it was stated that we would be able to be refunded if it was far in advance (and we had others present during this conversation). To book The Hinterland, they require you to pay 50% of the ENTIRE cost – this cost includes ½ of the total bar package and ½ of the actual venue (more than the other venues we toured) meaning we lost $3,728.35 dollars. Changing our plans already was disappointing, but this lack of flexibility due to unforeseen circumstances and what was verbally communicated to us greatly impacted the excitement of getting married.

Kathy Sotolotto(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-10-2022 The moment I set eyes on The Hinterland I knew it was where I wanted to get married. Kristyn has turned this quaint, rustic barn into a magical, sparkling wedding venue. The lighting gives off such a romantic and intimate vibe. The grounds, surrounded by trees and the CT Horseguard, provide a unique and beautiful setting for your ceremony. We were lucky enough to find this venue early to book an autumn wedding! We were able to make the barn and reception area our own and I was able to create my perfect wedding. Kristyn was lovely to work with. She was quick to respond and helped make my wedding dreams a reality. The day of there were a few setbacks that Kristyn helped my vendors solve and when she saw the slightest bit of worry and stress on my face, she made sure I had everything I needed and reassured me all would be okay. Everything was better than okay and we had the most perfect wedding day. I also have to mention, The Bar, which is the bar service through this venue, had quick, professional and talented bartenders. Our guests had a great time! Reviewed on 30-10-2022
