Aria

It's a beautiful place and the setup is amazing. The staff was very helpful. I would give 5 stars but the Bartender! She wasn't too friendly. It's an upscale place. Leave that attitude in the back or outside and just do your job.

Came to the Aria for a friend's wedding. Very beautiful! The cocktail hour was incredibly delicious! The dinner was good, I had a medium well done steak. The dinner needed more of something but it was good!

I was very disappointed. All hype about this place. Yes it’s pretty to look at but nothing over the top. The food was extremely disappointing and below average and most importantly the staff is rude and not helpful or interested in providing anything above the bare minimum as a status quo. I would never pay to throw an event at Aria much less ever return beyond extreme obligation. Don’t waste your money.

When my husband and I were looking at wedding venues last year, we immediately fell in love with the grounds and ballrooms at Aria. Even the lobby and common areas are absolutely stunning. After meeting with a sales manager, we were pleasantly surprised that their quotes included price per person WITH tax and tip, which we really appreciated. Because we didn’t necessarily get the date we wanted (we had limited options without going into the following year), Aria even gave us free up lighting and a free dessert. We got married on Friday, April 13th, 2018. While we were setting up the ballroom the day before our wedding, Joe (the owner) stopped by to make sure everything was okay. Although we knew it was early to have the fountains on, we asked Joe if he could get them to work. Sure enough, on our wedding day, the fountains and waterfall were running! We were lucky enough to have a gorgeous day (sunny and 70 degrees!) and the fountains just added to the beauty of the day. Joe was even present on our wedding day to congratulate us, and he checked in with us multiple times. Aria completely exceeded our expectations. We knew the food would be excellent, but the service was phenomenal as well. We had some special requests to speed up the process of the courses so that our guests could spend more time on the dance-floor, and Aria was more than accommodating. Not only that, but our guests were amazed at how each time they returned to their table, their napkin was formally placed at the setting. Our butler, Miguel, kept the room running smoothly and Chrissy, our bridal attendant, went above and beyond to make sure we always had a drink in hand (including our parents). We were so appreciative of her checking in on us and helping us get through the night smoothly. The delicious food, gorgeous ballrooms/grounds, and outstanding hospitality from EVERY employee (including the owner, Joe) make Aria, hands down, the number one best wedding venue in Connecticut!

Love it love it love it. I’ve been to a sweet 16 here and I’ve been to 2 proms here. This place is phenomenal I love it!
