Standing Rock Farms — Hotel in Saybrook

My husband and I got married here in June this year

Let me say ……. Our wedding exceeded my expectations And I have Standing Rock Farms to thank !!!

First off…. Check out their pictures ! This venue is B E A U T I F I L !!!! The rustic vibes with the Flower farm reception hall were just what we wanted. And outdoors ? From the beautiful farm scene with the horses , cows etc to the colorful flowers amongst the property…. We took all pictures on site ! The venue was absolutely beautiful inside and out .

Secondly … the PEOPLE !!!

Anthony was amazing at touring us when we first booked a tour with standing rock … and although it was our first on the list for potential wedding venues , we stopped at our first ! We were so impressed with the venue as well as the service and how we were taken care of … it made that decision very easy ! He also helped me a few days before by giving me access to the ceremony space to plan our last minute details etc , he was super kind and helpful

Laura !!! What to say about Laura. She has been amazing since the first email once we booked the venue , all the way to months past the wedding. She was so accommodating to my last minute changes , was extremely quick with responses via email , text, phone calls etc. She really made me feel at ease during this wedding planning process , and she was so kind , caring , and easy to talk to .. she’s so great !! Kendra was our day of wedding coordinator ; she made sure our wedding day ran smoothly and was easily available for all our needs. So kind and friendly , and made sure we had no hiccups !!

The wedding reception was AMAZING , the ceremony was held in the ceremony hall near our reception venue on site and it was perfect !!! The open wall of glass windows at the front of the ceremony space made it look so beautiful and earthy. And their arch ( which I added a few flowers to ) tied our decorations in perfectly ! I have to return the arch I bought - no need to buy one ! They have what you need !

Speaking of decorations , they had a whole selection of items to borrow for the venue , which was really beneficial

Oh ! I almost forgot about my favorite part. The bridal house !!! It was soooo awesome being able to get ready on site ( no need for a limo bus for your wedding party… You don’t have to leave!!! ). It’s so cool how it’s divided up … with the bridal suite on the top floor for the bride and her bridesmaids etc to get ready. Full kitchen. Multiple bathrooms. A BEDROOM ! And the most amazing vanity/ makeup area a bride could dream of …. Alll the bridesmaids were able to use their own section of a personal vanity / area to get ready !!! Groom floor below with a bar , fridge , arcade games , all they need !!! Bonus - both floors have an awesome walkout deck. You also can get some amazing bride/ groom before the reveal photos. So cool

I cannot say enough about this amazing space for our wedding… Still to this day two months later guests are texting, calling us, etc. talking about how amazing the wedding was and how awesome the venue was… I highly highly highly recommend this place for anyone looking for anything from a little one night getaway to enjoy their cabins etc , …. All the way to those planning on getting married

We. Would. Not. Change. A. Thing

Thank you thank you THANK YOU standing rock for hosting the most perfect wedding ; I am overly satisfied and thankful we decided to have our special...

We were lucky enough to host our wedding at standing rock on 9.9.23 and it was everything we could have dreamed of and more. The staff was extremely responsive to the multitude of questions we asked from recommendations on which building we should use to the logistical questions we had from our caterers. They have tons of recommendations for rehearsal dinner locations, caterers and bartenders. It really made the planning a breeze. The location itself is GORGEOUS. The Carriage House is beautiful. Tons of stations for everyone to comfortably get ready and an alternative entrance for the men so I didn’t have to worry about my groom seeing me before it was time. The full kitchen and seating area made it so we weren’t on top of each other the entire day. The ceremony hall is just a few steps away from the Carriage hall so when it was time my dad and I hid by the front door and walked out once he made it down the aisle without any risk. Ceiling to floor windows, benches made from wood around the property, it was truly a stunning building. We hosted our reception in the Flower Farm, which is just seps away from the reception hall. I’ve been to weddings where you have to drive twenty minutes to the next location and it takes away from the evening- we didn’t have to worry about that here. Everyone went directly into party mode allowing us to sneak away for all of our photos. The location is a photographers dream. There are hundreds of different spots you can choose from. Make sure when you go to visit the property you pick out your favorites for the day of otherwise you’ll be overwhelmed with all of the options. The Flower Farm is perfect for large groups and to distract all of them while you’re getting photos taken. From the grow room to the drying station there are tons of things for your guests to see while they are waiting on you. There is a full service bar that can be accessed from inside and outside, a food room that is easily accessible for your caterer and perfect areas for dessert tables, charcuterie boards, guest books, etc. Truly the entire property is beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to...

Standing Rock is the absolute most peaceful, perfect place for any and everything! We stayed in one of the cabins overnight after our wedding at the Flower Farm. The amenities are top notch and the facilities are clean, that it almost feels like a home away from home. It is the perfect place for a weekend getaway as well. Cannot wait to come back! ♥︎

Regarding having our wedding here....... I stumbled upon Standing Rock by browsing a list of preferred VENUES (backwards, I know), and it ended up being the best decision ever! From the minute i sent an inquiry, the owner, Chelsea, personally took time out of her day to give me a run down of the venue and options, etc., and scheduled a tour. After our tour, my now-husband told me to book it because the look on my face and glimmer in my eyes said it all. Every single aspect of Standing Rock is thoughtfully curated and makes you feel like you are in a magical place - and the fact it is a farm is even more special. We got amazing photos with the tender adorable highland cows in the back... it really is more than just a venue! The bridal house is what I really was sold on, it is nicer than most houses today haha, but it is so special and has all of the room and amenities you could need even with a big bridal party - we had 24! The lodging options are also a big part of why I fell in love with this place to, and even those are so perfectly decorated as well - all tying in with everything else. My photographer and videographers were raving as well. I could go on about this place- i cannot recommend Standing Rock Farms enough, the team is perfect and super responsive and on top of everything; it is my favorite place on earth and I cannot...
