Getting Ready

Your getting-ready space sets the scene for the first laughs, first feels, and first toasts of your day. This dreamy suite features gorgeous natural light, cozy textures, and plenty of room for your wedding party to relax and get ready before the ceremony. Beautifully styled and intentionally designed, it’s the perfect space for your favorite people to gather and watch the story of your day begin.

The First Look

The first look is the quiet pause before the celebration: a chance for the two of you to step away from the energy of the day and really see each other. Whether you choose the waterfront, the sweeping willows, or one of the historic hidden corners of The Barns, this moment feels unhurried and completely your own. It’s the soft exhale when your eyes meet that the day suddenly becomes real.

Your Ceremony

Your ceremony is where your story takes center stage. Outside, you’ll find sweeping willows and lush grounds that create a breathtaking backdrop for your big moment, while the space inside offers warm, refined elegance with soaring ceilings and original wood architecture. Whichever location you choose, your ceremony is crafted to be seamless and entirely focused on your love.

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!
