Venues & Event Spaces near Middletown, CT

“One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was choosing Pavilion at Crystal Lake for our reception! We truly can’t say enough good things about our experience.

We worked with several staff members who were simply lovely and easy to talk to. Mary and Eddie were right alongside us on our big day. They made sure everything ran so seamlessly. They made sure we ate and even sent us home with meals so we wouldn’t have to cook the next day! They also made the space look absolutely beautiful. We also worked a lot with Lexi and Shannon on the days leading up to the wedding. They were amazing and helped with so much of the logistics and timeline!

Our planning process was extremely organized and streamlined. Whenever we had a question we received an answer quickly. I never felt stressed or lagging behind. Every decision we made was supported and made easy by those we worked with!

It’s been a few weeks since our wedding and we are still receiving so many compliments about the food, atmosphere, decorations, etc. I would not change a thing about our day and that’s because of the wonderful staff at the Pavilion who made the day so, so special!

We knew we wanted a space that provided plated dinners without feeling stuffy or like a traditional banquet hall. Pavilion on Crystal Lake absolutely DELIVERED and everything was simply perfect!”

“We used the Connecticut Wedding Group for my daughter's wedding 13 years ago, which was phenomenal. Two weeks ago my son was married and had his function at the Wesleyan Barns with The Connecticut Wedding Group. We were floored at how wonderful everything was. The staff was extremely attentive from Eddie, the day of person, to the wait staff and bar servers the attention to detail was extraordinary. The ceremony by the water was lovely, the cocktail hour was fantastic, and the reception was over the top fabulous. Many of the guests are still talking about how great the food and the service was two weeks later. They say it is all about the experience...well our experience was worth 10 stars.”

“Rose’s is truly a gem! From the moment you arrive, the breathtaking views take your breath away—whether you're overlooking fields of vibrant flowers or just soaking in the natural beauty of the surroundings, it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind.

The people here make the experience even better. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, always ready to share their knowledge and make you feel right at home. Whether you're chatting with a farmer at the market or getting tips about picking your own flowers, the sense of community here is undeniable.

I love their incredible farmer’s market events, which are always a highlight. There's such a great variety of local produce, handmade goods, and artisan treats—it's the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning! And if you're into flowers, the Pick-Your-Own experience is an absolute must. There's nothing quite like wandering through rows of colorful blooms and choosing the perfect bunch to take home.

Rose's also offers yoga classes amidst the beauty of nature, which is just incredible. It’s a perfect way to connect with the surroundings and find your center.

Whether you’re visiting for the views, the market, or a relaxing yoga session, Rose’s offers something special every time. Highly recommend it for a peaceful day out!”

“We held our wedding here in mid-August and everything exceeded our expectations. We rented the Prince Edward side and held an outdoor Indian ceremony. We held our cocktail hour at the newly-constructed outdoor patio bar - lots of places to sit and mingle. Alyssa and Jeri made the whole planning and wedding day experience smooth and enjoyable.”

“I attended a friend's birthday party here. Wow! What a beautiful venue! The hall was large enough for 8 tables of 10 people with a roomy dance floor, a stage for the DJ and a bar. All of the food was excellent- the appetizers, the meal and the desserts were delicious and arranged beautifully! The ladies room was clean and had a long mirror so we could check ourselves out before returning back to the party.”

“Confusing directions from the kids running the place, and the parents will run you off the road if you're not careful. Please do the speed limit though, this is a quiet residential neighbourhood and people live here.”

“We recently hosted our daughter's first birthday party here, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!
​The venue was the perfect size for our guests, and the staff was so helpful and friendly The space was clean, well-maintained, and provided a beautiful atmosphere for such a special family milestone ❤️”

“My sister had her wedding here and the staff was so friendly and accomodating. They came in early to allow us to set up our decorations and everything else we brought. It was a very beautiful night.”

“I recently used this location for what was a reception of my sister and my new in-laws after a beautiful wedding ceremony this decent size location was utilized by my family and friends for just as beautiful celebration the location is conveniently in downtown New Britain Connecticut right off the highway before they're enough away so there's not a lot of traffic. I like that is located near a few restaurants and fast food locations so if you run out of food or someone doesn't like the food being served you can go grab you something else to eat is also quite a few adult beverage stores in the area so people can BYOB! They have a nice size kitchen where we were able to keep the food fresh and hot and also to serve the guests. I had a great time dancing all over the place and had a good amount of space to do so I was very tired for the couple days afterwards. As I was not responsible for the event I do not know the pricing or the quality of the customer service. I just know that the hall was clean and had a lot of space to hold a large crowd of people. I would utilize this space again for future events for sure.”

“I think this is my new favorite East Coast course. Not that I've played them all, however after 10 years of USA golf course experience 100's of courses, this one in particular proved to have a Tour presence. I shot 92, but that was the most incredible 92 I've ever played.”

“The hotel has recently been completely renovated so it is like new and very clean.

The entire staff from the General Manager, Front Desk, Housekeeping & Maintenance are all very friendly & helpful.

Great value.”
