If we could give The Spinning Wheel a million starts, we would! From the first time we set foot on the property, we knew this place was special. From the historic, New England charm of the venue, beautiful landscaping, and the AMAZING food, you will not regret booking The Spinning Wheel for your wedding/event. Katlyn, Chris, and the entire staff went well above our expectations the day of, and our guests were truly wowed. Throughout the planning process, Katlyn answered all of my (many) emails so promptly. She was a pleasure to work with and the ceremony and reception went off without a hitch because of her attention to detail and wanting to make sure our special day was all that we wanted it to be. To touch on the food again, numerous guests stated it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding, which really speaks volumes to Anthony and The Spinning Wheel staff. This family-owned and operated business truly embraces all of their couples and makes you feel like you are part of the family as well and that is why you will not regret booking The Spinning Wheel for your event!

Katlyn and the staff at Spinning Wheel are amazing! We hosted my sisterâs spring floral themed bridal shower there in 2023 and it was perfect. Katlyn and her team were responsive, organized and so helpful from the initial planning phases and on the day of. We had the option of many different table linens, event spaces and uses, menu options - which were delicious, and so much more to pull together a special day . The event space is versatile inside and out with beautiful floral gardens which were perfect backdrop for photos. Highly recommend!

We obsessed for months over whether we were making the correct choice, but we are now so grateful that we selected the Spinning Wheel for our sonâs East Coast wedding reception. We specifically did not want a âwedding millâ glass and glitz venue, and felt the comfortable and warm âold country innâ ambiance of the Spinning Wheel was perfect for us. We also preferred being the only party present, rather than having to share the venue with other groups.All the complements Katlyn receives in other reviews are totally deserved. She was absolutely terrific, both in her planning assistance and in running the reception, and was very accommodating to all of our requests. All of the staff couldnât have been friendlier or more attentive, and our guests felt very welcomed.Everyone present thought the food, both entrees and meals, was excellent, and many guests stated the sliced tenderloin was the best they had ever eaten. The two room setup worked out perfectly for us. Our reception was a family event with a large contingent of younger guests, and we were able to separate the families with children from the other adult attendees. The staff displayed incredible patience with the younger set, who acted at times like they were cast members in a âLord of the Fliesâ remake.

The venue is positively beautiful and I look back on the day with heartfelt gratitude to them.

I was born in CT, my husband is from Guatemala, and we celebrated our U.S. wedding on 5/28/2022 at The Spinning Wheel. My original vision was to have the ceremony in the garden, but the day started out rainy. However, Katlyn, Chris and the whole team were able to pivot seamlessly and set everything up under the covered patio. Miraculously, the sun broke out just at the end of the ceremony, and our guests enjoyed walking around the beautiful grounds during cocktail hour. Everyone commented on how delicious the food was (it truly was to-die-for) and how attentive the staff was. My spring garden wedding dreams came true thanks to the hard work of everyone at The Spinning Wheel!!

The Spinning Wheel was the wedding of our dreams. Our wedding was in October, and it was like a New England fall fairytale. If the weather is nice I recommend having the ceremony outside overlooking the beautiful trees. Not only was the scenery amazing but so weâre the employees! Katlyn was there for me every step of the way helping me bring my vision to life and answering all my questions. It was very easy to get in contact with her and her responses whether email or by phone were immediate! The day went by so smooth and fast Iâd do it all over again if I could.

We got married at The Spinning Wheel on 05/14/22 and it was hands-down the best decision we made on our wedding day. The only thing I would change is that I wish we had done our ceremony here as well. Chris and Katlyn were wonderful and were incredibly patient with us, answering tons of questions and emails leading up to our event. The day of the wedding, everyone was so kind and professional. They had a tray of food for the bridal party and our favorite drinks ready for us right upon arrival. Although we missed cocktail hour ourselves due to photos, everyone who attended raved about the food and how quaint and beautiful the space was. Our guests also really loved the patio area and gardens. Thank you to everyone at the Spinning Wheel for such a wonderful day. We hope the restaurant opens back up so we can celebrate anniversaries there for years to come.

Disappointing to say the least! The grounds are beautiful as well as the venue itself. However, they fell very short on our 5.22.22 wedding. We felt as though we just got all the leftover staff that was not well trained and that reflected all throughout our reception from start to finish. We had 8 passed hor dâoeuvres where a lot if not more than half of our guests gave the feedback that they had not seen them. As the bride and groom a tray of each option was not set aside for us which the coordinator stated was an oversight on her end and also had the audacity to state she knew everything was served as she had some herself. My husband also asked one of the servers for a specific hor dâoeuvre and was ignored. So be okay with sharing what you paid for with the staff! Our bar selection was setup for the custom option instead of the premium which the event coordinator verbally owned up to when it was on a conference call with the owner but, then went back on their word when it was time for email correspondence and having things in writing. The drink server was not well trained and didnât know the right portions for drinks or how to make basic drinks. We were told we would have had to pay extra for an actual âbartenderâ which was never mentioned ahead of time.The actual meals were delicious thatâs the only positive I can really give this place and probably their only saving grace. Donât expect doggy bags (they canât give them out after 4 hours. Our meals were served at 1:30-2 and reception ended at 5:30 so if the food was packed it technically was not left out for 4 hours but thatâs beside the point) and make sure your vendors actually eat or their meal will just be taken away untouched. For dessert we had a 3-tier cake for 63 guests and 5 vendors. Again, be prepared to share that as well as supposedly all of our cake was served. Donât expect the tradition of the top tier being saved or any take home unless you ask. Also, not everyone was served coffee including the bride and groom yet again were forgotten about.There was also a list of other disappointments, but we wanted to touch the main points. Essentially, the ones that made us feel that we didnât get what we paid for. So, we wouldnât suggest this place if you want to be treated as people of importance as the bride and groom as well as your guests being attended to.

The eloquent interior is complemented by a stunning outdoor patio and meticulously maintained grounds, complete with a flower garden and gazebo. This offers you the perfect backdrop for photos on your special day. Food: The food the Spinning Wheel prepared for our wedding day can be described in one word, incredible. Rest assured that your party will be in greatly skilled culinary hands on your special day. Customer Service: The Spinning Wheel is a family owned/operated establishment.

My husband and I were married in February and had our reception at the Spinning Wheel. We wanted our wedding to be simple but elegant - not a lot of frills but intimate and unique - and the Spinning Wheel was just that. Although it was a little cold and damp outside on our wedding day, inside we had a nice fire to welcome us, along with candles and other small touches which made the space romantic and elegant. The food - as many of our guests commented - was exceptional, as was the waitstaff. The size of the space was a great fit for our wedding of about 70 guests - it was full without being crowded. Since the venue space is divided by a few steps, we did struggle at first to decide if we should use both the upper and lower sections, but in the end we had the perfect number to fill the main section with tables and leave the other open for the bar and cocktail hour. Chris helped us a lot with this kind of planning and decision making and was there the whole night to help facilitate the reception. Both he and Anthony (the chef) were lovely to work with. When people ask us about our wedding we usually describe it as \"perfect\" and we really mean it - we're so glad we chose the Spinning Wheel!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Spinning Wheel on October 12th, 2018 and the day was perfect because of Chris and his staff. From the moment we met Chris we were totally at ease and felt so accommodated by him. Our friends and family cannot stop raving about how beautiful the rustic venue is and how impressed they are with the food (plentiful, fun appetizers and savory dinner choices). Every step of the planning, Chris was always available to answer multiple questions and it would seem the sky was the limit for us; he understood our vision for the day. Even though we know The Spinning Wheel hosts multiple weddings and events every weekend, we felt like our wedding was their only event and gave us 100% of their time and effort. The experience was effortless, and we felt as if we didnât have to worry about the little details as Chris had already thought of and executed them (votive placement, seating suggestions etc.). He didnât miss a beat the day of the wedding and was the perfect wedding coordinator. He kept us all on time and he made sure my bridal party received appetizers and drinks during photos. He executed dinner seamlessly and made sure we got everything done throughout the night. I never felt rushed or forgotten about. The venue itself is perfectly romantic and had plenty of space for our 75 guests. Chris and his staff treated us like family and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Spinning Wheel on October 12th, 2018 and the day was perfect because of Chris and his staff. From the moment we met Chris we were totally at ease and felt so accommodated by him. Our friends and family cannot stop raving about how beautiful the rustic venue is and how impressed they are with the food (plentiful, fun appetizers and savory dinner choices). Every step of the planning, Chris was always available to answer multiple questions and it would seem the sky was the limit for us; he understood our vision for the day. Even though we know The Spinning Wheel hosts multiple weddings and events every weekend, we felt like our wedding was their only event and gave us 100% of their time and effort. The experience was effortless, and we felt as if we didnât have to worry about the little details as Chris had already thought of and executed them (votive placement, seating suggestions etc.). He didnât miss a beat the day of the wedding and was the perfect wedding coordinator. He kept us all on time and he made sure my bridal party received appetizers and drinks during photos. He executed dinner seamlessly and made sure we got everything done throughout the night. I never felt rushed or forgotten about. The venue itself is perfectly romantic and had plenty of space for our 75 guests. Chris and his staff treated us like family and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. I absolutely recommend The Spinning Wheel to any couple searching for their perfect venue- you will experience your dream wedding here.

The Spinning Wheel is more than a wedding venue. It encapsulates a true \"Connecticut\" atmosphere while exceeding our expectations for food....logistics support and advice....ambiance....and helping us keep to our budget. All important elements of a great wedding. Our guests said \"it was the best wedding they have gone to in years!\" Chris and his staff are the best. We all simply had FUN..and didn't worry about a thing. Everyone at The Spinning Wheel made sure of that. I highly endorse this venue.

We recently had our reception at The Spinning Wheel on June 30, 2018 and we could not be happier with the service that was provided. Chris is, without a doubt, a pure pleasure to work with. His communication and patience are both admirable. No matter what we asked, he accepted our request and did everything possible to make our wedding day perfect. We visited countless places before finding The Spinning Wheel. Upon meeting Chris and walking into the most beautiful rustic setting, we knew The Spinning Wheel was the place to have our reception. We then tried the food and met a couple having lunch that also was married at The Spinning Wheel. They couldnât stop telling us how wonderful their experience was. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the staff was so friendly and accommodating. Additionally, the landscaping is breathtaking and a perfect setting for any photographer!Before our wedding, we were able to set up the venue exactly as we had imagined with Chrisâs expertise guiding us. Chris even designed and decorated the tables with our special favors and our centerpieces in a beautiful way. We did not have a wedding planner, but Chris wore this hat as well. We had wanted lots of candles on each of the mantles, which Chris lit and made look amazing. No task did Chris ever shy away from and no question did he ever leave unanswered. Our guests still cannot stop raving about our wedding, especially the food. The appetizers were amazing, and itâs great because you can go to The Spinning Wheel restaurant to taste them all before choosing which ones you want to have served. When one of our guests mentioned a tomato allergy (not even asking for a special accommodation), Chris without hesitation visited the kitchen and provided this guest with a pasta dish without the vodka sauce we had included on our menu. It was simple things like this that made the difference and we knew this right from the start when we met Chris. His pricing is clear, he is helpful, and the way that he connects with his clients is unmatched. Our guests were so impressed by his staff, his service, and the beauty of The Spinning Wheel. When our party bus arrived to The Spinning Wheel, Chris had his staff meet my husband and I with our individual drinks of choice, which he had made sure to ask us about the day before when we were dropping off the favors. Not to mention, while we were taking pictures during cocktail hour, his wait staff continuously had appetizers available to us, with a whole tray of Thai chicken poppers (my favorite appetizer on the menu!). Most couples do not get to eat at their cocktail hour, but Chris made sure this did not happen to us. The night was absolutely flawless. Chris made every single piece of our special day perfect. And he really cared that it was exactly as we had wanted it. We will forever remember this day and Chrisâ hospitality. If you are looking for a beautiful venue to celebrate in, delicious food, kind wait staff, and not all of the bologna that comes with trying to choose a venue, VISIT THE SPINNING WHEEL! Trust us when we say, you and your guests will not be disappointed. If you want your day to be something thatâs talked about for weeks later, constantly being called âthe best wedding Iâve ever been toâ, then look no further. We couldnât be happier that we chose The Spinning Wheel. Thank you, Chris. You are amazing and we appreciate all of your work, effort, and patience.

We had our wedding on 10/29/17 and it was absolutely perfect. From the ceremony to the reception, Chris helped to create the most beautiful setting. Our ceremony was in front of a romantic stone fireplace, and the reception was set up in the banquet room which was beautifully decorated for our rustic fall theme. We had a small wedding, with just 52 guests. It ended up pouring rain all day, but it didnt stop us from having a wonderful time! We had hoped for cocktail hour on their beautiful patio, but Chris didn't miss a beat and moved everyone into a separate room inside the restauraunt.Chris personally assists with everything. We had only a best man and maid of honor, with my stepchildren as junior bridesmaid/groomsman and flower girl, so Chris himself was showing guests to their seats, and he even rolled out our aisle runner. His team of servers took great care of us. The food was wonderful, hot and fresh with huge portions. My guests were raving about It! Water glasses stayed full, and empty plates were quickly cleared away. They handled all the cleanup, and when I came back to get our things, I was so pleased to find everything carefully packed up . The Spinning Wheel made our intimate wedding a most memorable day. We can't thank them enough! -Adam and Renée Rushka

We had our wedding this past weekend and it was amazing because of Chris, Anthony, and their staff. All our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was from the cocktail hour appetizers, salad, tortellini, and the various dinner options. We required halal/kosher chicken and beef and they were able to accommodate this. I was meticulous about all the details from the food all the way through the decorations and they executed perfectly. The setting was perfect and had that rustic feeling that I wanted. Our guests loved the place and I had people ask me how we found this hidden gem. Chris spent over an hour on the phone to help answer questions and also took time on a busy Sunday to brainstorm and arrange the setup of the reception room. The moment we arrived to the venue on the wedding day, Chris and staff setup the room exactly as planned. They immediately came up to us with appetizers and made sure we were fed. Throughout the night, Chris stopped by the sweetheart table to make sure we were okay and offered to bring us our drinks. He and Anthony didn't make me feel like just another customer through the process. They made it feel so personal and were so attentive and caring until the very end. I would highly recommend this place for a wedding or any party. They went above and beyond and more than exceeded my expectations. Thank you Chris, Anthony, and team for an unforgettable night!!!

The Spinning Wheel was the perfect venue for our intimate New England Wedding. The staff did a great job setting up the room, the tables and even my centerpieces and decorations. I worked with Chris throughout the process and he was such a pleasure. Planning a wedding involves a lot of time and effort and I was worried about everything from the start being the perfectionist that I am. Chris is so on top of things though which helped set my mind at ease about many things. The food and food service was also great all our guests raved about how delicious everything was. The dance floor is a great size for the beautiful and versatile L room space. We had a little over 100 people and no one felt crowded even with 12 round tables set up. There is also a nice stone patio outside and a gazebo on the property. I would highly recommend any couple planning their wedding to check out the Spinning Wheel to discover all this local gem has to offer.

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMay 28, 2017My daughter and her husband were married in Portland, Oregon six months ago. Both sides of the family are large and live in New York and Connecticut. Because of the distance, few were able to attend the ceremony. We wanted to celebrate with everyone, so we had a Wedding Dinner at The Spinning Wheel on Memorial Day Weekend. Being that they had been married for six months, they did not want an elaborate reception. Alison has always loved rustic dĂ©cor and country style, so we went with a farmhouse theme. When I presented my idea of substituting farmhouse tables instead of the usual ones, I think Chris was a little surprised. However, being an accommodating and flexible person, he went along with the idea. Everything went very smoothly. The restaurant was beautiful, in a quaint New England manner, with wood beams, beautiful old fireplaces, stonework and woodwork from the days of old-and some new custom work, also! The beams held greens and fairy lights, the cocktail hour was held outside surrounded by well-tended gardens with refreshing drinks and tantalizing hors dâoeuvres. The food was sumptuous and served in a timely manner so it could be enjoyed hot. The wait staff was particularly attentive and we heard from many of the guests that the meal was delicious. The Spinning Wheel offers a unique venue- one that is relaxed and almost a magical step back in time. Chris, the proprietor, is friendly and he and his staff will work to make your dreams come true!

I finally believe that things do happen for a reason. After our first venue fell through we discovered the Spinning Wheel, which was a true blessing. From the moment we met with Chris at the venue, we knew this was where we were meant to have our wedding. I could not have imagined a more flawless night. Chris made sure the night ran smoothly and was 100% accommodating! The food was excellent and so was the service. The space was absolutely beautiful, and I especially loved the fireplace in the back room. I had heard stories of how stressful wedding planning can be, but Chris made our experience easy, helping with so many aspects of the night. We cannot thank Chris and his team at the Spinning Wheel enough for such an amazing night! If you are looking for a beautiful environment with incredible food and service, you will find that all at The Spinning Wheel.

We had an incredible day, thanks to Chris and the entire Spinning Wheel team! We are very happy that we selected the Spinning Wheel as the venue for our wedding on Sept 17th. Chris was great to work with, easygoing personality and wonderful attention to detail (great person to have working with you!). Our guests are still raving on how great the food was and how magical the space felt. Already thinking of other parties we could look to host here; We highly recommend the Spinning Wheel.

We had an incredible wedding day thanks to Chris and his staff at The Spinning Wheel! We cannot explain how happy we were that we chose this charming spot in Redding, CT. The venue itself is rustic, crisp and clean. They just did renovations inside and out. The gardens are so well kept and even in September were still in full bloom. Staff is friendly and helpful, extremely organized. The food was spectacular, they do not skimp on quantity or quality of food. Our guests told us how fabulous their meal was (and hot!). Would recommend this spot to someone looking for fabulous food, great staff, and charming location!

I was extremely satisfied with our wedding reception at The Spinning Wheel! I highly recommend this venue for any event. Initially, we were looking at having our rehearsal dinner at the venue but ultimately decided to have our entire reception there. From the initial planning, Chris was very responsive and attentive to our needs. He and the staff were flexible and gracious throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, everything ran smoothly. My husband and I had a dedicated server who ensured that we tried all of the passed appetizers and always had a full drink in our hands. The venue is stunning and spacious; easily accommodating our 140+ guests. We were able to have an outdoor cocktail hour and dedicated bar room for our party. Everything went off without a hitch, and the staff was so wonderful throughout the day. This is a true gem and great value when evaluating all of the options out there.

We had our reception at the Spinning Wheel in September, 2016. Chris was very helpful, clear and supportive throughout the entire planning process. He and the staff did an amazing job to make for a fantastic day with smiles on all of their faces. All of our guests raved about the food and atmosphere. It was beautiful on its own, and we were able to add elements of our own personality. They also provided vegan options and were very helpful with last-minute dietary restrictions for a few guests.

Planning our special day with Chris was so incredibly easy and fun. We had so many choices to personalize the space and the food selections were absolutely amazing. The day of the wedding, every last detail went exactly according to plan. The entire staff was fantastic; so attentive and thoughtful. Everything was handled beautifully and our guests could not get over the delicious food. Weâve been told several times that this was the best wedding people have ever attended. We are so incredibly thankful to Chris and everyone at The Spinning Wheel for making our wedding a truly perfect day.

Chris is super kind, professional and very accommodating. He and his staff constantly go out of their way to assure the guests are comfortable. In my party he did not just act as the owner of the place..... He actually made it it his personal goal to make sure everything went smoothly. The location is charming, the food is to die for yet healthy, wine and spirit selection was fun yet sophisticated and at the end of the day a good time was had by all at our celebration. I recommend his venue wholeheartedly to all family and friends for anything as little as a weeknight dinner to something as elaborate as a wedding party!

The Spinning Wheel was the perfect venue for our wedding in July! Chris and the entire Spinning Wheel team was very attentive and organized leading up to and on the day of the wedding. The location of The Spinning Wheel is gorgeous and the newly renovated building is very classic New England. The food tastes fantastic and there are many different options for appetizers and entrees. All at a pretty reasonable price for Fairfield County CT. I would highly recommend having you're wedding at The Spinning Wheel. It was truly a perfect day, largely in part because The Spinning Wheel was such a great place to have a wedding.

We held my daughter's reception at The Spinning Wheel and it was a wonderful and flawless event. During our planning meeting, the owners were very attentive to details and they followed through with everything: the set up of the room was exactly as we wanted, the food was fantastic and generous, and the day was perfectly organized as the event progressed. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors (cake, flowers, favors, etc) and there was not a single thing out of place with our day. I really can't recommend The Spinning Wheel enough!

I was married at the Spinning Wheel in October. My fiancé and I wanted to do a short outdoor ceremony and the reception at the same venue, and the Spinning Wheel was perfect. I didn't have an event planner, but the Spinning Wheel made it really easy to make choices and did the set up beautifully. Chris is really helpful and answered any questions we had. With threatening bad weather we had the ceremony on the patio under a tent, but as it didn't rain we were able to do our photo's in the small garden, with the gazebo and in front of the building. The cocktail hour was also on the patio and then the reception was indoors. We had 90 people and everyone was seated comfortably and there was plenty of room to dance. The food was incredible, the drinks were great and all of the staff were really friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend the Spinning Wheel!
