Pride is More Than a Celebration- It’s a Powerful Reminder that Visibility Matters

We’re honored to share & highlight the incredible love stories of our LGBTQIA+ couples as we plan their best day ever!

Tricia & Ashlee’s Love Story!

We’re so excited to be helping Tricia and Ashlee plan their wedding at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills! Their story is such a lovely reminder that love can grow and deepen, even across distance and unexpected moments.

“We met at a time when neither of us was looking for anything serious. We spent some time together before I had to leave the state for work, but the distance only brought us closer. We kept talking every day, visiting each other whenever we could-and somewhere along the way, we realized we’d fallen in love. What started as something casual quickly turned into the most meaningful part of our lives.

We’re so thrilled to be working with the CT Wedding Group-they’ve been incredible every step of the way. We’ve heard nothing but amazing things about the food (we have our tasting coming up so I’m sure we will be able to confirm it’s as delicious as everyone says!). And the grounds at The Barn are absolutely stunning-we can’t wait for our guests to experience the beauty and magic of the venue on our big day.”

Tricia & Ashlee’s Love Story

We’re already looking forward to celebrating with Tricia and Ashlee here at The Barns! With stunning surroundings, delicious food, and so much love in the air, their special day is sure to be unforgettable and we are so lucky to be part of it!

Dimitri is thrilled to be joining the Connecticut wedding group at the start of the 2025 season. He is joining us with what he likes to call “northern drive and southern hospitality”. The last 10 years in Charleston, South Carolina has given him experience in cooperate events, weddings, and restaurant management. He has also worked to help build and train teams from the ground up to produce the best experience internally and client facing.

His combined experience and passion in hospitality, and his degree in Interior Design help him to produce and execute beautifully detailed and thought out weddings from start to finish.

Wedding days can come with a whirlwind of emotions and seem to come to an end in the blink of an eye. Part of what Dimitri loves best is working closely with couples and their families to help navigate through those emotions on the special day, and to incorporate moments to pause and capture the beauty that comes with getting married!
