Weddings and Events at Priam Vineyards - Colchester, Connecticut

Catherine McIntyre

We had our wedding at Priam in September of 2021, and it was everything we had wanted it to be and more. We picked Priam in February of 2019, after looking at quite a few outdoor vineyard and barn type venues throughout Connecticut. It was an easy decision, because aside from the incredible views and location, their ability, in partnership with their catering partners (Gourmet Galley in our case), to take care of all of the little things and make it a smooth, easy day was unparalleled. I was not someone who wanted to worry about bathrooms, linens, chairs, or cocktail napkins, and I didn’t have to, and the ‘standard’ options were beautiful and perfect. The other marvelous thing was how incredibly customizable our day was going to be – if I wanted anything specific, from décor, chairs, settings, schedule, etc., we could do it. The guidance our coordinator gave us was if it was legal and wouldn’t hurt the vines, it was doable!

Even through the uncertainty that 2020 and 2021 brought to event planning, the staff and coordination team was wonderful to work with, answering all our questions, providing solutions, and pointing us in the direction of some great vendors to work with. They helped us create a special and unique day that truly felt like ‘us,’ not a cookie-cutter wedding from a template. Through our rehearsal and event, the staff was friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to make it feel like a special day, between golf cart rides around the property for the perfect picture, to organizing our décor and firepit, to generally being supportive and calming.

Our day went off without a hitch, and I got nothing but compliments from our guests as to how perfect the location and venue were. It embodies quintessential New England fall beauty, and it was wonderful to let our décor be subtle and subdued to let the setting shine. Our pictures have turned out amazingly so far, and I can’t recommend the firepit and s’mores option enough. Our guests young and old loved the chance to step away from the dancing and loud music and enjoy a beautiful fall night and nice conversation.

I can’t imagine our day having taken place anywhere else, and would recommend Priam, Amylu, Gloria, and the whole team to anyone looking for a classic, picturesque setting for their special day!

Went there for a Vic Dibitetto comedy show in May 2024 and it was held outside in a huge enclosed tent. Weather was fine but even if it did rain , it wouldn't matter.
The tenant was probably 50 yards long and 50 ft wide.
People bought their wine which I heard was delicious and they had 2 foot trucks outside and the food choices were great and quite delicious.Vic Dibitetto was awesome as usual, best comedian around and parking was free and convenient.
I'd come to a show here again. It was a great place for a show and it was like 65-68 degrees inside the tent which was fine but some may need a light jacket.

We recently held our wedding here and can’t say enough great things! The wedding coordinator was always responsive and very helpful throughout all of the planning. When it came time for the event, the staff worked exceptionally hard to make sure that our day was just as we had imagined.
