They do provide tree wrapping and trunk drilling for Stand Straight tree stands. Don't forget the apple cider and cookies in the store! Price for any tree is $9 per foot in 2024.

For all brides looking to get married somewhere unique and special in CT look no further than…read moreTyrone Farm. It's privately owed and has been in the MacLaren family for generations. It also has the personal touch so many outdoor venues are lacking in this popular stretch of wedding country. Ian is the sort of person you feel like you could be friends with and is so eager to make your day personal and special, from getting the right balance and setting for the event to recommending a wealth of local vendors to work with for your wedding day (caterers, hair and make up, transportation, etc). They only do one wedding at the farm a day and in quieter months sometimes only a weekend a weekend. An added bonus is that there is a guest cottage onsite (additional cost) which can sleep up to 10+ people so it's the ideal destination spot, especially if you're looking to host the bridal party or an extended family. The best part about Tyrone Farm is that everything is taken care - you don't need to worry about renting chairs, or tents, everything from a furniture and fixture perspective is included in the price (there is an additional fee if you want to host your ceremony here which I'd highly advise). Tyrone Farm is highly eco-friendly from the solar panel field to the water system in the cottage. Even if you're not an green geek it's nice to know your special day isn't causing unnecessary harm to the environment. Our wedding is on August 6 - I'll post an updated review then but in the meantime if you're recently engaged, looking for a venue in CT and want something unique, outdoors and truly special check out Tyrone Farm.

Planning the day, however, didn't run as smoothly though. My daughter booked the entire property 2 years ahead. Get ready, ceremony and cocktail hour at the Mansion, reception in the barn. A few months before the wedding, after the invites went out, she called the venue to ask a question. They then realized that they had double booked and there would be another wedding in the mansion that day. Also, we would have to push the wedding back an hour. Invitations were already out at this point. I understand mistakes can happen but this was a big one and was only realized when my daughter called them about something. We were all disappointed, however, like I said the day itself was beautiful and the staff, food, facility was excellent.

Immediately upon arrival it became clear things were not as promised - there were dirty dishes, broken glass all over the porch, no hand or bath towels, and other issues. Most notably, the suite we planned to stay in was a complete mess. Dirty kitchen & dishes, unclean bedding, etc. We notified Kai and he promised to send a cleaner out to take care of it - at no point over the weekend was it in a condition for us to stay in. At the end of our stay we negotiated a refund with Kai since we couldn't use the suite and there were inconveniences caused by the other problems in the main house. He agreed, and then completely ghosted us. First he said to wait until the end of the month, then he stopped replying all together. Completely ignoring our phone calls and texts. Absolutely unfair, unprofessional, and not worth it for any potential lodgers considering booking any of his properties. Booking the feather hill was the only regrettable part of our wedding weekend.

There was one server who functioned as a jack of all trades doing both food running, bar, and server. There was another person at the bar who we later learned was the owner. She barked over a few comments, but didnt seem warm or inviting to customers as opposed to our server who was great. When we ordered the owner went in the back to cook our food. The food was good but she cooked the app and sandwiches together so the food took quite awhile and came all together. Our sandwich buns were very crispy on top. Meh. They had a pool table, but you needed quarters and they didn't have any. We scrounged up a couple, but found where the table was situated it was very hard to play.

I showed up here on Friday at around 5pm and was immediately impressed with the beautiful building surrounded by tons of trees and just how New England this place seemed. After a nice ceremony in the woods (they are able to drive you around on golf carts which is sick) we spent the remainder of the night in the massive building where everything else took place. The main room itself looks amazing and the wood work is certainly something to gawk at. The washrooms were large and clean, all of the food I ate (which I'm pretty sure was handled by the venue) was much better then what I've had at previous weddings, and the staff....oh the staff. From being genuinely charming and funny during very single step of the night to hitting the dance floor for a song and blending in way better then I ever could, it's always nice to see every single person there at least pretending to have fun. Overall, I may not live in Connecticut, but if someone ever got some random reason needed an eastern Connecticut venue recommendation, well, this is the place I'm telling them to pick. Thanks for giving a whole lot of people such an unforgettable night.

I came here for a friend's wedding last weekend and it couldn't have been a more perfect setting (OR weather). I didn't see nearly enough of the grounds but what I did see was lovely. They hosted the ceremony in a spectacularly lush wooded area, followed by the reception in a rustic, yet well appointed pavilion. Actual bathrooms instead of portable which was sooo much better! Appreciated the ample parking and quick walk between the parking lot, ceremony site, and reception area. Not sure if all of the weddings are required to use the venue's catering, but the food was solid too!

I fell in love with the Spanish garden and knew immediately that I wanted to have my wedding here…read more Unfortunately, the venue itself was the highlight of an otherwise disappointing experience. Communication was a significant issue throughout the planning process. Dennis was often difficult to reach, and phone calls frequently went unanswered or were not returned in a timely manner. As a bride trying to coordinate an important event, this added unnecessary stress. I stayed at the property the night before the wedding so I could begin setting up. I was surprised that despite being present, the family appeared uninvolved and offered no assistance while preparations were underway. The interior of the home felt dated and had a noticeable mildew odor. As someone with allergies, I found it particularly uncomfortable. We were also told that the venue worked exclusively with a single caterer, leaving us with no flexibility in our catering choice. Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations, and several guests told us they were denied additional servings when they asked for seconds. That was especially disappointing and embarrassing on what should have been a joyful day. The garden is beautiful, but based on our overall experience with communication, accommodations, and catering, I would not choose this venue again.

The Inn is oriented towards hosting weddings, but the hosts, Dennis and Rosemary, go out of their way to make "regular" guests feel welcome, including providing a "self serve" pantry in case a late night refreshment is needed. In the morning, we had a great breakfast more akin to a bed and breakfast than a full-scale hotel. Two bits of advice: 1. Call ahead to make sure the Inn will be open - the Inn is closed sometimes in the winter and there might be nobody around. 2. I think the prices on the website are somewhat dated so confirm things when you call.
