Smith Farm Gardens - East Haddam, Connecticut

Choosing to have my wedding at Smith Farm Gardens was the best investment I made during the wedding planning process. The property is nothing short of STUNNING and yet somehow the owners continue to find ways to level up and create new experiences for their guests. There are so many spaces to enjoy. At night the property took on a whole new life with perfect lighting and a beautiful fire pit area.

Planning and communication was a breeze. Any questions I had were always promptly answered and needs were accommodated.

My wedding guests have been raving about Smith Farm, some even suggesting the venue to others they know.

If you are looking to have a fairy tale wedding look no further!

If you want to have the picturesque wedding of your dreams, Smith Farm Gardens is the place! Everything was handled with such care and attention to detail. The grounds are absolutely stunning and impeccably kept. And i highly recommend staying in the gorgeous farm house the night before! Waking up there was so magical and such a calm nice way to start the big day. I cant thank them enough for such a wonderful day.❤️

Smith Farm Gardens is a truly stunning venue with endless charm, character and of course exquisite gardens! My husband and I recently had the pleasure of getting married there and the owners, Peggy and Travis were a pleasure to work with every step of the way. They were both incredibly warm, generous and accommodating with phone calls, emails and texts as we planned our wedding while living out of state. We’re in awe of how beautiful our wedding day was and we are still receiving compliments on our choice of venue and the catering we selected from Smith Farm Gardens suggested vendors list. We couldn’t recommend this magical place more!

Booking our wedding at Smith Farm Gardens was a dream!! Besides the amazing landscape views, garden florals, adorable home, the owners were the sweetest people to work with. My husband and I visited a few venues and we were blown away the minute we stepped foot on their property. Meeting Peggy and Travis did not feel like a business deal at all (which is how we felt at other venues). They truly are such personable people looking to make your wedding day as amazing as you have always imagined it and were always willing to accommodate us and what we needed on our big day. I would highly recommend booking here if you are looking for an incredible view/homey feel on your big day that is absolutely stunning in our pictures!

We hosted our wedding at SFG in September 2024 and it was the best decision we could have made! The team, the grounds, the ambiance are just a few of the things that make SFG GREAT! Our primary contact was Travis, who was always friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond to my many questions.

Come wedding day, our guests were in aw of the venue. The grounds, the home, the gardens, the tent, etc. It was the most elegant, yet homey feeling I could have asked for in a wedding venue. A refined, yet un-stuffy, place to gather with our closest friends and family!

Best of all, parts of the property are available on airbnb - we can't wait to go back in years to come to celebrate our anniversary.

Thank you Travis, Peggy & team for all that you do! The property is a clear reflection of the love and care you put in.

We had an outstanding experience with Smith Farm Gardens for our wedding this past June. From our initial visit to the very end of our special day, the staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. Throughout the day and even now we had many guests mentioning how beautiful and well kept the venue was and how much they enjoyed all the different spaces and activities included there. My wife and I can't recommend Smith Farm Gardens enough and we are so happy that we had our wedding here, thank you to the whole team at Smith Farm Gardens!

There is no more beautiful or elegant place to have a wedding than Smith Farm Gardens. Everything is just impeccable from the charming farmhouse to the newly built cottage with its Giverny-inspired gardens. No photographs can truly do it justice either; you must visit to be enveloped in the world that the owners have created on 15 stunning acres. The owners have put heart and soul into making the farm the most exquisite wedding venue I've ever seen (and I saw a lot, probably 100 online and quite a few in person). You will be astounded by the magic they have created! They are also hands on with every detail which makes for a stress-free experience. My daughter's wedding was perfection, and we have enormous gratitude to them for that!

We had our wedding at smith farm gardens on 9/7/24 and it was truly the best day of our lives. I don’t even know where to begin with how amazing Travis, Peggy and the rest of smith farm gardens staff are. From start to finish Travis made sure my
Vision was carried through. He was beyond accommodating and just so thoughtful and helpful. We had anticipated rain on our wedding day, but not nearly as much as we had thought, and Travis and the rest of the staff literally were trekking through the 40 minute monsoon making sure ALL our guest were comfortable, brining blankets, hanging up side panels while getting drenched themselves on top of setting up heaters. Literally EVERY single guest came up to me and said “the staff here is beyond remarkable”. For not only my husband and I to pick up on that, but for all 130 of our guest to notice it as well tells you how special everyone at SFG is! The property is absolutely stunning and so well kept. I can’t say enough amazing things! Travis, Peggy & the rest of SFG staff, thank you for making our wedding the most special and amazing day of our lives!!! You
Guys are all so incredible!!!
