Whittemore at Vyne is a modern, cosmopolitan venue with some rustic charm. The grounds of the Whittemore are beautiful offering a lovely outdoor ceremony area, gardens, and fountains. The interior has a rustic yet modern upscale feel to it. The banquet hall is clean and well-lit making for beautiful photos throughout the reception. The reception room can double as a ceremony area in inclement weather. The smaller banquet room can be used as a cocktail hour area for larger weddings or a reception room for smaller weddings. The bridal suite is great for getting ready photos and helps keep your wedding in one location. The food is always great and the service too. The Whittemore at Vyne has a lot to offer as a venue for your wedding day.

As a wedding photographer in Connecticut, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing love stories at some of the most beautiful venues in the state—and Vyne Restaurant & Bar in Middlebury is truly a standout. Whether you're planning a wedding, engagement session, or anniversary celebration, Vyne offers an elegant and romantic setting that photographs beautifully from every angle. One of the most stunning features of Vyne is its meticulously landscaped outdoor gardens. The gardens are a dream backdrop for wedding and engagement photos. Lush greenery, seasonal blooms, and winding pathways create a serene and picturesque setting that feels like a hidden oasis right in the heart of Middlebury. Couples can exchange vows surrounded by nature, pose under blooming arches, or stroll hand-in-hand through the charming garden paths—all of which translate into timeless, magazine-worthy images. From a photographer’s standpoint, the natural light in the gardens is absolutely ideal. Whether you're shooting in golden hour or just after a rain shower, the space captures light beautifully, giving photos a soft and romantic glow. The layout also provides variety—quiet corners for intimate portraits, wide open lawns for family photos, and plenty of space for candid, documentary-style moments throughout the day. Vyne’s indoor reception space is just as beautiful, blending classic charm with modern sophistication. Large windows bring in more natural light, and the warm, elegant interior design creates a cozy, upscale atmosphere for your celebration. It’s an excellent option for couples who want an all-in-one venue that seamlessly transitions from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. For Connecticut couples looking for a wedding venue that offers stunning outdoor gardens, exceptional photo opportunities, and a convenient location in the heart of Middlebury, Vyne Restaurant & Bar checks every box. As a photographer, it’s always a pleasure to shoot here—not just for the scenery, but for the way the space allows couples to feel relaxed, inspired, and truly in the moment. If you’re planning your wedding and looking for a venue that combines natural beauty with classic elegance, I highly recommend adding Vyne in Middlebury, CT to your list. Your photos will thank you.

My wife And I had our wedding here. It was everything that we were looking for and more. The coordinator was amazing. The venue size was perfect for us because we wanted to keep it with close family and friends (18 people total). Though, I'm sure they could handle many more. I don't know an exact amount but I would say at least 50 people. Everything was perfect. I'd give 1000 stars if I could.

This review is long overdue, but better late than never! My husband and I got married here in August of this year. Due to Covid, we had many last minute changes to the guest list and even moved our wedding date twice. My husband’s family was hoping to make it over to the wedding from Ireland, but in the end, travel restrictions prevented it from happening. Still, the team at Whittemore did absolutely everything in their power to make our day as special as possible. They were so accommodating and supportive of all of our needs, I couldn’t begin to thank them. With half of our guests unable to attend, this day so easily could have taken a turn toward the negative. However, thanks to the team’s professionalism and can-do attitude, I was able to have the full bridal experience on our day. Nothing was too big of an ask, especially for Kendall who was my right hand woman on the day of the wedding. She and Mike helped us with everything from table decorations to tripod setup for the live-stream. The food was also wonderful and noteworthy, and all of our guests raved about their meals. I was unaware that our photographer was vegan until the day of the wedding, but the chef had no issues whipping up a separate meal to fit her dietary needs. I could go on all day, but all I’ll say is that if you go and tour Whittemore, taste the food at Vyne and look at all the beauty it has to offer both inside and outdoors, you’ll know that this venue is a no brainer.
