“I just did my babyshower & the experience was amazing ! The owner is an amazing person and works with you as much as possible ! Definitely recommend if you’re planning any big event !”
“"I got a girlfriend that's better than that She has the smoke in her eyes As we get older and stop making sense You won't find her waiting long" (Talking Heads) I've always loved music with quirky lyrics. Steely Dan, The Kinks, and Warren Zevon come to mind immediately. But that short list is incomplete if it doesn't include Talking Heads. For years I've read that their 1984 concert documentary "Stop Making Sense" was fantastic. IMDb says it "is considered by critics as the greatest concert film of all time". So a) when the film was re-released in a restored version to celebrate its 40th anniversary, and b) when I saw Real Art Ways scheduled week long screenings, well, I knew I'd be making my very first visit there. Tickets were ordered through their website, and that went super easy. There were seven showings available, and tickets were priced at $12 for an Adult, and $8 for Seniors and Students. After I ordered, the tickets were promptly e-mailed to me. When we arrived for the 5:15 show, we chatted with the attendant who was pretty friendly and cool. An afternoon showing of a Carlos Santana documentary was finishing up, so that gave us time to wander through RAW's three art galleries to check out the exhibits. We didn't buy anything from the concession stand, but they have quite a few beers and candies for you if you want something. Our theater seats were comfortable and the sound and picture were great for our movie. We were two of only eleven patrons for the 5:15 showing, and that was a shame because the concert film was an exhilarating joy to watch. RAW is quite a place- a nice combination of the arts and cinema, so if that's your thing you'll probably enjoy their monthly cocktail parties.”
“Went to an event for my college class and it exceeded expectations! Fits the vibe for any formal event and can make it fun! Be mindful of parking options as the parking lot is a little small for large events. Would recommend for weddings, formal events, or just big parties!”
“Nice rustic place but I was there when it was dark and rainy so I can't comment on the outside amenities. Getting there was odd with many turns. Place is far out of the way. Food and apps were good with some interesting unique things.”
“I had a very good experience.... After struggling to find a last minute Hall for a reception after my uncles funeral I posted on a local town site seeking help. The owner personally reached out to me within the hour willing to help us out. (On a sunday later in evening on top of it)We rented the "Crystal room" it was very clean, up to date and the staff was so friendly. Our funeral services ended up ending an hour sooner than we thought it was going to and the owner let us start arriving early. Such a great experience after a sad morning.I would recommend this Hall fo anyone looking to have a wonderfull experience. And will be booking with them in the future.”
“Everything was so perfect!!!!!! Micky Mouse Halloween decorations was the best! Had my baby shower here last year & Everyone was very nice & helpful will book again…..”
“Our experience with getting married at The Pavilion and with the CT Wedding Group was amazing from start to finish. The CT Wedding Group is absolutely fabulous and you truly want them being the ones organizing and planning your special day. From the beginning we knew we were in good hands, the wedding coordinators send out periodical emails with what should be next in the wedding planning journey. They have the couple schedule occasional video chats and in person meetings when it gets closer to the big day. Throughout the planning if you had a question, they encourage emails, as the bride I utilized this very much! I would send over inspiration pictures and details about decor for that ceremony and reception, with all this information they start adding it to your wedding profile. The amount of care and time they gave with emails and video calls was wonderful and felt great knowing you were in such good hands. On my wedding day I had zero worry that my vision wasn’t going to be executed.With in a week of the wedding you get assigned a “day of coordinator,” trust me when I say…Every single coordinator is wonderful and talented. Our wedding coordinator was Melinda and she was nothing shy of perfect!!! We appreciated her thoroughness on every detail for our wedding. She was supportive, helpful and cared about us during the biggest day of our lives. Melinda and the staff at The Pavilion were professional, kind and attentive! Our “favor” was a candy table that I prepared and brought the day of, rather than me being stressed about the assembling of my candy table, they displayed and set it up better than I could have even imagined. We are so grateful for everything they did for us. I was brought to tears seeing how amazing our reception looked, thank you for all you did!The food…DELICIOUS!! This will be the best wedding food you and your guest will ever have, I said what I said! Our families were raving and complimenting the food with the highest praise. The Pavilion has a talented chef & kitchen and I believe this is something that sets them apart from other venues. You will be floored by the delicious food and they venue makes sure to feed the guests well, no one leaves hungry. We opted for a cocktail hour “enhancement,” the Mac & Cheese bar and a “late night snack,” pizza!! The enhancements were well worth it for us, our guests LOVED the additional food during the cocktail hour and reception. Another enhancement well enjoyed by our guests was the “tasty bar snacks,” this was well enjoyed by our bar drinkers who grabbed some thick cut bacon and chips when getting a cocktail.Overall, The Pavilion on Crystal Lake and the coordinators in the CT Wedding Group made the wedding of our dreams come to life. I can’t say it enough, but the CT Wedding Group has so much care and love for the couples getting married. They show and represent organization from start to finish in the wedding planning journey. We are beyond grateful and lucky to have picked the CT Wedding Group to put together our wedding at The Pavilion on Crystal Lake.”
“Friendly staff. We took the self-guided tour (they give you a pamphlet). The exhibit on the Amistad was the best part of the tour. The space is often used for civic engagement activities and when we were there, schoolchildren were putting on a mock trial in the old courtroom. Very good programming and it was cute for us and seemingly interesting and edifying for the kids.”
“Our meals were all very good. Our waitress was very friendly and good. It was very crowded and ordering, getting drinks and so on was rather slow but I'm sure it was due to how busy they were. The pop-up dinners they have been offering are an amazing value for delicious food.”
“Another fantastic visit at Taverna, but I remembered to take a few pictures this time. Great service and tasty dishes at a reasonable price! Seasonal specials daily, and some pretty awesome margaritas here!”

“My daughter had her birthday party there today. When we were booking her party, the date that we wanted wasn't available, so we called and they were very accommodating and very nice for booking her party pretty much at the last minute. The planner that we had was very nice as well. Everyone had a great time. Thank you so much!”
“Came here for the flower & garden show & was blown away, it was amazing & i will definitely go again next year. Take spending money, b.c there are lots of vendors selling a lot of unique & amazing finds from food to jewelery to plants & lotions. If you take cash some are willing to give a little xtra wiggle room...lol”
“What an absolutely amazing golf course! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The courses was in great shape and the greens were playing very fast. There's a lot of renovation happening on the course (blame Rory) so 2 holes played as temporary par 3's, but even those holes were great. Can't wait to get a chance to play there again!”
“Great venue for hosting our big annual Eagle Scout recognition and fundraising dinner. Nice social space for visiting before dinner, and food and service are excellent.”
“Great place for events. Went to a wedding the food was great! The prime rib melted in your mouth. The cocktails were delicious. The staff was more than accomodating! I can't say enough about this venue! How many times have you heard the food was great at a wedding?”
“I love all of the plants I buy from here. The staff is also willing to explain the care and upkeep for each plant they sell. They always have something new or interesting in stock. I would recommend this store to both new and advanced plant enthusiasts.”
“This team did a fabulous job with the decorations and set up. They were very attentive, and accommodating. Overall I was left speechless. Everything turned out perfect and we enjoyed every second of it!”
“You’re not allowed to take pictures inside the house, but Monet’s haystacks are scattered around outside that you can photograph! The entire place is beautifully landscaped and photo ops abound. But, take a tour to see the spaces Theodate Pope Riddle designed and the collection of impressionist paintings inside.”
“Angel the booking director was truly amazing with helping me find a hall for my baby’s 1st birthday. Honestly his customer service is one of the best I have experienced in my life, Although I didn’t book, he ensured I got the help I needed.”
“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 attended a fall wedding here and the service was incredibly attentive. Staff were professional and didn't miss a beat. The venue itself (partially an old bank) was so unique. The Society Room perfectly juxtaposes elegant grandiosity and warm intimacy.”
“I coordinated a wedding at Bristol Event Center recently, and I just gotta say-- the venue is beautiful, and the service is topnotch. It was such a pleasure working with Art, Julia and their entire team who went above and beyond not just for the clients and guests, but for us and the entire wedding team, too. Can't wait to go back and work with them again. :)”

Hawks is a fun course to play, a little short, but challenging. keep it in the fairway!! ⛳️⛳️ always have fun there and Dan the greens keeper and his staff keep it in good shape!!”
“Some challenging holes, but also has some risk reward holes. Great outside deck and bar. Great course for your ego. Drivable par 4s and par 5s reachable in 2. Awesome outdoor deck for food and drinks.”
“Great customer service, some meat was more cooked than my liking, even tho I asked for medium rare, they had alot more medium when walking around, otherwise still a fanastic spot to eat/ shop at the mall”

“We had the reception after my grandmother's funeral here - we were a mess and totally disorganized. They were kind and flexible and by far the easiest part of the process!The food was absolutely incredible! In particular, the red sauce on the pasta. I will dream of it.The service was friendly and attentive. We never ran out of water or bread.I can't recommend them highly enough!”

“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.”
