“I am SO impressed with Birchwoods at Oaklane. I had my bridal shower here last month and it was absolutely PERFECT. The manager went ABOVE AND BEYOND, helping to set up centerpeices with flowers that my mother dropped off. They were extremely flexible and attentive to all the little details. Everyone there raved about the venue and food. 100% recommend using them for your events!!”

“My husband and I had our first visit at All In , choosing the Sherlock room. What a great experience! Dori was an excellent host and just had a really great energy. It was super fun and gave us a good challenge! Will be booking again :)”

“They provide a unique dining experience in which the menu is specially curated between the featured artist and a guest chef for each exhibit. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed two of these dinners, including one for my own exhibit. We cant wait to sign up for another one. The Table and Gallery cultivates an environments that puts healing, community, and collaboration at the forefront. It was a pleasure enjoying this experience as a customer and as a featured artist. The food was amazing and the vibe was unforgettable. 10 out of 10 experience for me.”

“BOOK THE PARTY!! Absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end! From the ease of booking to the dedicated text line to ask party questions to the seamless execution of a 23 kid party I cannot give Vault Slime Lab a higher praise! Every single kid from 2 - 10 had an amazing time and all of the parents are still asking me where I found this amazing place! The new slime lab in the larger room was perfect for our larger party and the slime lab staff was so fun and attentive. The party was a 10/10 I highly recommend booking your next child's party here!!”

“I recently attended our work Year End party at Great River Golf Club in Milford, and it was absolutely fantastic! The venue is beautiful, creating the perfect atmosphere for a celebration. The food was outstanding—not only were the main dishes flavorful and fresh, but there was also a great selection of delicious appetizers and hors d’oeuvres that everyone loved. The staff was wonderful and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly. A special shout-out to Chelsea, the Event Sales Director—she was amazing to work with! Chelsea made the entire planning process easy and stress-free. Her professionalism and warmth truly elevated the experience. Highly recommend Great River Golf Club for any special occasion!”

“We found a coupon for this cozy bowling alley on Groupon. Our family of 6 had so much fun. It was very clean and accommodating. The staff was welcoming and very sweet and patient with us and our four little ones. So happy we found this gem. We'll definitely be returning with family and friends in the future. Thank you!”

“I am always thrilled when I have the opportunity to shoot at the New Haven Lawn Club! As a wedding photographer, this venue truly sparks creativity. The beautiful grounds offer a variety of stunning backdrops, perfect for capturing every moment throughout the day. Whether it’s the lush outdoor areas or the elegant indoor spaces, there’s no shortage of incredible locations for portraits and candid shots.

The wedding suites are absolutely gorgeous, providing the perfect space for the couple to relax and prepare. The venue’s historic charm adds a unique character that’s truly special, an old-world feel combined with modern amenities making it a standout location in Connecticut.

What really sets the New Haven Lawn Club apart, though, is the attention to detail and exceptional service. From the first look to cocktail hour, the staff is incredibly attentive and ensures everything runs smoothly. They not only take care of the couple but also make sure vendors (like myself) have everything we need to make the day perfect. This allows couples to fully immerse themselves in the moments without any stress.

The ballroom is absolutely breathtaking. With its grand chandeliers and spacious layout, it’s perfect for both intimate and large celebrations. When adorned with candles and flowers, the room transforms into an unforgettable setting. It’s truly one of the hidden gems of Connecticut!

I am so excited to be working at the New Haven Lawn Club several times in 2026, it’s always a pleasure to capture such beautiful moments in such an incredible venue.”

“We couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate my daughter's 15th birthday. It was a beautiful party, and the Studio 8 staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making everything run smoothly. It’s a beautiful place, my guests completely loved it! I 100% recommend Studio 8, without a shadow of a doubt.”

“Always a good time! Ax throwing was super fun. Instruction was clear and really professional. The place was super clean and food was AWESOME. Great place for a get together, girls night out, or fun date night. Will definitely return.”

“We had our wedding at NHCC in July 2025 and it was exceptional. The facilities and grounds were perfect for what we needed and envisioned, and Karissa was the person who brought the day together for us. She was extremely responsive, kind, and detail-oriented throughout the entire planning process. The setup and breakdown of our vendors (e.g., chairs, florals, etc.) was something I didn't need to worry about after coordinating the details beforehand. Everyone on-site just really took care of everything and made a stressful day truly stress-free. On the day of, the waitstaff/bar staff/etc. were extremely efficient and everyone had a smile on their faces. It was noticeable, and it made for a fun, energetic, and organized vibe. The grounds are immaculate and our wedding was truly beautiful. The patio for cocktail hour couldn't have been better. The dining space came together beautifully and they followed our vision for the setup and decor. We had a band for the reception, and the large room was the perfect party space. It could not have been a better night and we will recommend NHCC to anyone who is looking for excellent service for their important event. Thank you!!!”

“What an amazingly beautiful historic theatre! We went to the screening of the Twin Peaks pilot last night. When entering the side door of the theatre I felt like I was going back in time with all 1920's antique furniture, rugs and decor. Absolutely stunning. They kindly ushered us in from the cold and showed us the screening room where old vaudeville acts were performed in days gone by. On the other side of the entry they had refreshments set up, popcorn, which was delicious and drinks. Again I was brought back to a time where hospitality and kindness seemed to be in vogue. The theatre itself is a beautiful small room with chairs on top of an oriental rug facing the old stage. I can not think of a better place to watch a Twin Peaks screening. We can not wait for more screenings! What a treat it was.”

“We had the occasion to attend a high school graduation party for very close friends of ours. The facility was bright and very clean and welcoming. Aside from the delicious food served, the staff at the Club were very friendly, attentive and courteous. We cannot say enough about how attentive the staff were. Milford is lucky to have a great entertainment resource in their community. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable!”

“This is More than a dance studio! Its a community center for the arts. They offer a wide variety of culturally focused dance classes. Even their fitness instruction is routed around dance and culture. The studio has a community family feel. They don't just dance but also create a safe place for kids, and women to grow artistically and personally. There is a strong focus on community, supports, positive socialization, and self care. This is more than a place to learn to dance, this a community. Never any pressure to perform. Non competitive approach to dance and art.”

“My wedding was in 11/7. The West River Hall provided exceptional customer service and hospitality. From the time we arrived the staff helped with set up and last minute touches. They made sure my night went smoothly.I would recommend this venue to anyone.”

“We had our wedding reception at the Elm City Club in mid-June. From start to finish across the board, we could not have had a better experience. Sandra was at once down-to-earth, matter-of-fact, and exceedingly personable when we had our first meeting. She was clearly paying close attention to the kind of wedding we wanted and guided us through each aspect of the planning process. The tasting for our meal selections made us feel like special guests at a fine dining restaurant, and the bartender went above and beyond to create a specialty British cocktail that we’d mentioned.

The day of could not have been more perfect. Elm City took care of every aspect of the reception—flowers, candles, food, drinks, everything—and it was all better than we could have hoped for. I think almost every one of our guests said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had (the dessert table deserves a special mention among special things), and were quite frankly staggered that Elm City had done all the table arrangements as well. The Club also ensured that my sister and her husband could stay at the venue so as to be close to their six-month old. Finally, we can’t begin to say how much we appreciated the care given to us by the staff on the night. The bartender is a virtuoso—she ran a bar for 70+ people on her own and no one waited more than a minute for a drink. The waitstaff were so joyous that they added to our enjoyment of the evening. And Sandra was there the whole time making sure that everything went as smoothly as possible. To top it all off, the whole thing was well within our budget.

In all, if you’re reading this review to try and find a wedding reception venue, we cannot recommend the Elm City Club highly enough. They made our day perfect, and we will be forever grateful.”

“Me n' my love attended a wedding in lieu of my beloved sisters⚘️ God Daughter n it was absolutely beautiful! Appetizers, food, drinks were fantastic and the banquet server's and bartender's were professional and personable! I would absolutely do business with Cielo if an occassion arised!! Lovely!!!”

“My birthday was so phenomenal I had a surprise paint party night. It was awesome and Chloe was so sweet and patient with us. The art work was so beautiful great place.”

“Went to a company picnic at HH. Plenty of activities to keep everyone happy. Lots of picnic tables/tables with umbrellas inside and outside the food pavilion. Food and drinks were really good. Clean facility with friendly staff.”

“This is such a nice space with a blank palette to deck out for any occasion. I’ve used it a few times and the proprietors are always accommodating and friendly.”

“Eagles Experience concert was awesome!! Viewing appeared to be great from all angles.. staff was VERY accommodating . Great venue that shouldn’t be kept a Milford secret. Will be back regularly!”

“The Schwarzman Center at Yale is a recent repurposing of two legacy buildings at the heart of campus: the Commons Dining Hall and Memorial Hall, easily recognizable thanks to its dome. It expands the two spaces so that they serve as a student center of sorts, with the goal of bringing community members together over dining, meeting spaces, and the arts.Besides the Commons and Memorial Hall, new spaces and venues include a convenience store, a dance studio, a 21+ pub, function facilities, performance spaces, public art galleries, and study nooks. When I ventured inside to grab a drink on a sunny, warm day spent exploring campus, I found the space vibrant and well-trafficked, particularly in newer eateries with communal seating. The Commons itself, however, appeared to be a grab-and-go affair either due to ongoing Covid measures or due to renovation.Given that it was a nice day, however, students were more likely to head outside than linger indoors.”

“I had booked an event for this past Sunday the hall and venue were really nice owner was great did appease all that was needed for that day of course had a lot of planning that was involved but they were very understanding and covered pretty much all the necessities he gave me a good deal for the space so happy everything came together was an awesome night thank you for making this day special for my daughters Sweet16...went without a hitch satisfied customer and holds up 100 people plenty of room private parking too was the perfect spot...”

“Like this place !!! Food/ drink a bit expensive but yr there as a treat so treat urself they even offer a small selection of adult drinks u can sip on while enjoying yr movie”

“This is a top three hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Amazing staff, they granted anything we asked for. Great bar and restaurant. Perfect location close to music hall. Valet parking available but also right near multiple garages in walking distance and in the same Block as BAR….the rooms were insanely big and full of every accommodation you can think of. Pots pans, a stove a beautiful stainless steel fridge….just absolutely spacious and incredible one EVERY way. So much so I’m doing a video on my Facebook because I’m that happy with it. Love LOVE this place and will definitely be back.”

“Of all places, my kids love coming here to bounce in the indoor inflatable park, ride in the bumper cars and play a few of their favorite arcade games. Staff always keeps every part of this facility clean and in great shape. If you’re passing through and need to have the kids let out some energy, this place is the best!”

“My buddy and I played today and were pleasantly surprised. Night and day from a couple years ago. Not only was the course in great shape (better than some expensive courses recently) but the staff was super nice and welcoming. Obviously still updating and in the middle of construction but you can tell it’s moving in the right direction. We’ll be back!”

“AMF Circle lanes one of the best Bowling out there every time I come, I feel welcome. the manager Michele? is the best. all the staff makes you feel well this year what you need and they have the best deal”
