Perfect venue....amazing grounds and amazing art - An Eventective User from Wethersfield ct

I held my daughters baby shower in the Golden Thread Gallery. It was featuring Women In Art and it was the perfect backdrop to a baby shower. The landscaping and grounds surrounding the venue are breathtaking, serene and beautiful. The easy of planning and help in setting up was so hefty and gracious. I highly recommend.
