A New Chapter for Connecticut Wedding Group: Our Second Office is Opening!

We’re growing and we couldn’t be more excited to share the news!

Very soon, our Connecticut Wedding Group family will open the doors to a brand-new office space, located just across the street from our highly anticipated Riverbend venue in Higganum, CT. This expansion marks an exciting milestone in our journey to make wedding planning even more seamless, personal, and accessible for our couples.

Why We’re Expanding

Over the past few years, we’ve had the joy of helping couples celebrate their love stories at our beautiful Connecticut venues. From the rustic charm of The Barns at Wesleyan Hills to the lakeside romance of The Pavilion on Crystal Lake, the panoramic views at Lyman Orchards Golf Club, and soon, the modern elegance of Riverbend.

With Riverbend’s opening on the horizon in June of 2026, our planning team is busier than ever. We wanted to create a space where they could focus entirely on helping our couples bring their dream weddings to life… and what better place than right next to our newest venue?

What This Means for Our Couples

This second office will be home to our planning team, the behind-the-scenes experts who guide you through every step of your wedding journey. From design meetings and vendor coordination to menu collaborations and buttoning up those final details, our planning team is dedicated to making sure each and every detail is seamlessly managed.

By being located just steps away from Riverbend, we can offer:

  • On-site convenience: Perfect for Riverbend couples who want to pop over for planning meetings or see their venue in progress.

  • Enhanced collaboration: Our planners can move seamlessly between the office and the venue to ensure everything is picture-perfect.

  • Room to dream: With more space dedicated solely to planning, we can offer even more personalized experiences and creative brainstorming sessions.

Looking Ahead

We’re putting the finishing touches on the space now and can’t wait to welcome you in. This new office isn’t just an expansion, it’s another way we’re committing to making the wedding planning process joyful, stress-free, and completely tailored to you.

Stay tuned for the official opening announcement (and maybe a little sneak peek inside)! In the meantime, if you’re planning your Connecticut wedding, our team is here and ready to dream big with you.

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!
