My husband and I got married at Fox Hopyard on 10/5/24 and it was honestly the best, most amazing day of our lives.
The venue in itself is stunning. The scenery and the setting is fantastic for photos. It was also perfect for my dream Fall wedding as the foliage was picturesque New England charm.
The vibes and service from Melanie and her team were positive, attentive, and professional. Working with Melanie was an easy process. She kept communication with me from the moment we booked until shortly after our wedding. She was extremely helpful in planning the trajectory of our day, setting up all of our decorations, providing vendor recommendations, and answering any and all questions I had along the way. She was present for our wedding day and very helpful. She was genuinely excited to hear about our perception of the experience the day after our wedding when we went back to the venue to pick up our decorations!
The food was absolutely fantastic. As a picky consumer, food was my number one priority to guarantee a positive guest experience. Each meal chosen was positively reviewed by guests. I personally greatly enjoyed my filet, pasta, salad and all appetizers I got to try. I also loved being able to add something fun like a s’mores bar at the end of the night for our guests. I would 1000% recommend this venue to anyone who is serious about serving friends and family a quality meal!
Overall, getting married here was an amazing experience. It was the first and only venue we needed to tour before knowing it was the right choice. I sincerely recommend this venue and team!!

We got married at OTR at Fox Hopyard on 9/10/22. It was an absolutely perfect day from start to finish! Melanie was so helpful throughout the planning process, and very easy to reach. She is so organized, knowledgeable, and super detail oriented! We had our rehearsal dinner the Thursday before the wedding, and she was able to coordinate with our officiant and wedding party to ensure a smooth flow for our rehearsal. On our wedding day, Melanie and her staff were super attentive and available throughout the entire day and night (from getting ready in the bridal suite to packing up all the decor at the end of the night) to ensure everything went smoothly. The set-up of the venue for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception was perfect, and all the decorations were set-up beautifully. Every detail was accounted for! The food and drinks were so delicious for both the rehearsal dinner and on our wedding day! We had so many compliments from our guests regarding the food and venue itself- they loved the picturesque outdoor space and charm of the venue. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day, and are thankful for the great experience with On The Rocks at Fox Hopyard.

Melanie and the team at OTR are the absolute best. Melanie has a true gift for event planning and execution, her talent shines through in the details she is able to think about and plan for. When we last minute added a hot pretzel station for the end of the night, she thoughtfully had the staff put out to-go containers for each guest. She did the same for cupcakes we had for dessert, without us asking (honestly I never would have thought to even ask for this)!. When it got chilly during dinner before dancing started, the team brought out heaters for the guests, when the shuttle bus wouldn’t drive up the hill to pick everyone up she coordinated several golf carts to drive guests down to the bus (while I stood there in a panic). The staff set up our table decor fantastically, they were so attentive to myself and my husband throughout the day. We had drinks waiting for us after we walked up the aisle when the ceremony ended. We had a platter of appetizers brought directly to us during cocktail hour. They accommodated requests from family members and bridal party members that were not planned for and they were so gracious about it when they easily could have said no. I would recommend everyone who wants to have a midsize wedding check out OTR! The value for the cost is outstanding and Melanie is truly a magician. I can not recommend OTR enough!

We will always highly recommend Fox Hopyard for celebrating any holidays! Our wedding was fantastic! Place is amazing, staff were perfect and professional, food was delicious. Special thanks for Melanie Glanert for her professionalism and without which all this would not be possible.

Weddings at On the Rocks are as fun as they are unique. If you’re looking for something that isn’t typical, this is the place. Their cuisine is both flavorful and portioned perfectly. You’ll never go away hungry. The pavillion is a great place for a reception because you’re out of the elements and a slight breeze is almost always present to keep your guests comfortable. There’s more than ample room for a dance floor for your guests to enjoy. Melanie is a joy to work with and will ensure that every part of your wedding is taken care of efficiently. All in all, a great place to get married!

The Safari Club of Golf played here on September 4. It was our inaugural trip to this fantastic layout with well over one-hundred of our members in attendance.
Unfortunately, the greens had been recently punched, but we knew that going into it, and anyone with a modicum of common golf sense knows these annual maintenance issues are paramount in keeping the golf courses pristine. So no big deal there as the layout and facilities are truly SPECTACULAR.
The WOW factor was in play ALL DAY and we already have members asking if we plan on adding Fox Hopyard to our annual schdule in the future. I guess that sums up the Safari Club’s experience pretty well.

My husband and I can not speak highly enough of Melaine and the team at Fox Hopyard. We knew that we wanted a venue in CT and loved the setting of Fox Hopyard from pictures and reviews. Melanie and everyone on staff were very welcoming when we came for a tour and made sure to answer our questions and provide thorough details on their packages. Unlike lots of venues that we went to, Fox Hopyard did not have tons of hidden fees and charges. They had straight forward packages that were inclusive but still allowed you to customize and add your personal touches. The venue itself is stunning, with gorgeous views of the golf course and surrounding woods, a beautifully updated clubhouse for dining, and a romantic pavilion for dancing. We knew from that first tour that it was the perfect spot for us.
Throughout the planning process, Melanie was responsive and organized. She checked in with us regularly to make sure that things were falling into place, and was always willing to answer our questions or give her opinion. She stayed on top of emails and calls and all of the details that came from them. Our final meetings before the wedding were stress free because Melanie had everything organized and accounted for. She coordinated seamlessly with all of our vendors and made sure that both outside vendors and her team were on the same page.
The venue was set perfectly for the day of. All of our details and personalizations were set just how we had envisioned making it feel even more special for us. The entire day went off seamlessly thanks to Melanie and the staff. They went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and had everything that we might need. Everyone on staff was so nice and wonderful to talk to. Melanie kept everything running according to our timeline and checked in with us regularly as we transitioned through the events of the evening. All of the food and drinks were delicious and they catered to food allergies and preferences perfectly. Some of the hardest decisions we had to make were which passed appetizers to select from their menu, because everything was so darn good!
From start to finish our wedding day was a dream, and we could not have done it without Melanie and the team at Fox Hopyard. We feel so lucky to have found such a beautiful site and have it run by the most kind, professional people. We could not recommend this venue highly enough to anyone who is getting married.

Josh, the current manager, is a great guy, and he has a great staff. We had window seats, so we gazed at the scenic golf holes. This place is very fancy and pricey, but that’s to be expected at a golf course. Anyone can go; no reservation needed, though their website makes you think so. Great place along the scenic part of Connecticut.

My son just had his wedding at On the Rocks. It was AMAZING! Melanie was so professional and spent the day making sure we loved everything. She was quick with emails and went above and beyond all of our requests. She gave great advice and helped make decisions. The food was fantastic, our guests are still talking about the clam chowder. Every menu item was delicious and beautifully served. We had a gorgeous weather day and i don’t think there was anything to improve. The staff was awesome, so friendly and helpful. The venue looked magical. They transformed it into everything my son and his new wife wanted. Just beautiful. Best day ever

My husband and I had our wedding at Fox Hopyard in June and it was amazing. Melanie goes above and beyond and she truly made planning a wedding nowhere near as stressful as I anticipated. She not only is responsive and extremely helpful but also so professional. The day would not have run as smoothly and effortlessly without her. The food was amazing and the presentation was beautiful. Everyone kept commenting on how pretty everything was set up and the ice cream sundae bar and French fry station were definitely peoples favorites. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more! Thank you Melanie and team!
