The Village at Boulder Ridge

The Village at Boulder Ridge is a private event venue set across 68 acres in Barkhamsted, Connecticut. Its rustic surroundings and choice of indoor and outdoor spaces make it suitable for weddings, corporate gatherings, school outings and private celebrations. The venue hosts one event per day, giving each group exclusive use of the facility.

For weddings, couples can choose an outdoor ceremony beside the pond or an indoor ceremony by the stone fireplace. Receptions can take place in the banquet hall or open-air pavilion, with options for a poolside cocktail reception. The venue offers on-site food, several menu choices and accommodation for guests with allergies. Indoor and pavilion capacities vary by space, and wedding packages are available on request.

Corporate organisers can arrange company picnics, meetings, staff parties and group outings. Packages can be tailored for colleagues or include their families, with catering and access to activities such as a heated swimming pool, climbing tower, zip lines, sports courts and fields. A private activities coordinator can help guide groups through their programme.

The site also welcomes private celebrations, including showers, milestone birthdays, reunions and graduation parties, as well as school groups. Depending on the occasion, organisers can plan anything from a relaxed outdoor barbecue to a formal seated dinner. With a range of facilities and activities on site, groups can combine their event space, food and entertainment in one location. The rural setting offers scenic grounds for ceremonies, photographs and time outdoors, while indoor facilities provide an alternative for gatherings in different weather.
