Venues & Event Spaces near Madison, CT

“Didn’t stay over, but had dinner at the Wharf restaurant. Martha was our server and she was pleasant and professional! Apps, drinks, and dessert were fabulous!! Dinner was good but slightly under seasoned and didn’t hold up to the rest of the meal. Will absolutely return simply for the view….stunning!”

“Stayed here for 5 days/4 nights in the cottage suite (with kitchenette). Cottage was incredibly well-kept and clean, and staff came in each day to take out the trash for us and change out our towels. Exceptional service, and KIND management. Close to the beach, and close to pretty much anything you could need for a vacation to the coast. The gift shop where you check in and out is precious, and there is so much space on-site for anyone visiting with their family to have lots of room to explore. They even have bikes and beach towels for you to borrow, which is so helpful as an out of town guest! Special mention for how quiet and peaceful the property is, despite being right off a major road. Feels like you're in another world entirely. Thank you so much- we will most definitely recommend the cottages, and hope to return in the future!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Our recent visit to the Waters Edge on June 14th and 15th was extremely disappointing. We requested an upper level room and was told it was not available. We had to except a room on the first floor. The room was directly across from the pool with dozens of screaming children we had come for a quiet peaceful getaway and complained to the manager we were given another room next to the pool and the beach bar which was even noisier. Guests moved their lounge chairs closer to our terrace and there was a constant stream of guests waking by and looking into our bedroom and living room. We had to keep the door closed and the curtains drawn. So much for enjoying the promised peaceful view of the Long Island Sound.
In the evening we sat outside for a short time thinking it might be quieter. Not so screaming teenagers ran past our unit and jumping over the railings leading to our room. I again called the manager and asked for security. The manager came down and the noise stopped for a short time and then continued. The manager never contacted me to apologize or ask if everything was alright.
Our experience continued the next day at the spa where I had an 11;00 appointment. I waited until 11:30 and then was told that the person who was to do my pedicure was not coming in until 12:00 and was booked for the rest of the day.
On a positive note the service at the various restaurants was excellent.
In spite of making the manager aware of our situation there was never an apology given or compensation offered.”
