Venues & Event Spaces near Ivoryton, CT

“Had a wonderful dinner there after a matinee holiday show at the Ivoryton Playhouse. What a perfect way to continue our outing. The inn was decorated so tastefully and beautifully. Our server, Andrew, was excellent, very personable and good knowledge of the menu despite his being new.
Our group ordered the Brussels sprouts, escargot, arugula salad, cod en papillote, steak and a chicken dish that was amazing. Everything was delicious though the cod was a small portion compared to the others significantly larger portioned meals. The 2 in our group who ordered the cod ended up finishing off the chicken and steak for the others. For dessert we had an apple turnover and the profiteroles. The profiteroles were definitely enough to share for 2 people. The turnovers were on the small side, but still tasty. We would definitely recommend the Copper Beech and look forward to returning.”

“Great spot on the shore in Westbrook - must be a member/with a member to gain access - great restaurant with both indoor and outdoor dining - great live music on the weekends during summer months!”

“Staff was very nice and accommodating. Food was delicious. Plenty of spaces for quiet moments. Was there for a retreat and enjoyed my stay. Would recommend for a retreat or for a quiet relaxing getaway.”

“We are full-time wedding photographers who did not have the pleasure of working at the Fox Hopyard Golf Club until the summer of 2024. It dawned on us that we once dined at the private club as we drove on to the property for the wedding day, and we instantly knew we were in for a great wedding. The course and clubhouse, restaurant and bridal suite - it’s all extraordinary and welcoming, as was the staff once again. They had a lock on all the day’s events, kept providing our couple with all they needed, and went out of their way to make sure we had a fantastic meal as well. Melanie was superb in her communications, keeping the itinerary on target with us, and in caring about all the little details that matter so much on a wedding day. It was a bit rainy, but we avoided that as best we could and sneaked in some shots outside when possible on the beautiful course.

We had known our bride and groom for over a year, spoken with them often, and done their complimentary engagement photos, and this good relationship with such couples means they will tell you all the good and the bad of the venue on the day, anything that is wrong or frustrating them, and so on. They had nothing but great things to say about how the wedding went at Fox Hopyard and all the staff as well. They even made sure to get the floating candles in the glasses up right at the perfect moment before guests came in prior to the reception. We would be absolutely thrilled to book more weddings here and hope to be back ASAP! While this is written from the perspective of a small business owner, this is an unbiased and unsponsored review, and we appreciated the sensational first visit with hopefully many more to come.

“We had a party of 22 at Water’s Edge Resort & Spa and were blown away by the experience. Chef Derek and Sous Chef Max, both recently onboard, created a special menu that was absolutely incredible—the best food we’ve had there in years. George, our server, was outstanding and made the night seamless. Huge transformation in food and service. Highly recommend checking it out!”
