The Venue

The Garden at The Hops Company

77 Sodom Ln, Derby, CT 06418

We fell in love with this venue as soon as we saw it. Michelle loves how everyone can see each other while still being a mix of indoor/outdoor. Kay loves how it's enveloped by trees and feels like an enchanted forest.

We will be staying at The Blake, which we also have room blocks for (shoutout Kay's mom Yvonne!). We also have blocks at Graduate which is just two blocks away. If there are no more blocked rooms available, let Kay or Michelle know because we probably can get more.

Getting Around

🚆

NYC ↔ Hotels

We recommend taking the Metro-North New Haven Line from Grand Central Terminal to New Haven Union Station. Trains run frequently throughout the day.

Travel time: ~1h 30min (express) to ~2h (local)
One-way fare: ~$20 off-peak / ~$27 peak
From Union Station, all three hotels are a 5-10 minute taxi/rideshare or 20 minute walk away

🚌

Hotels ↔ Venue

We'll be providing shuttle buses between the venue and all three hotels listed above on the day of the wedding. Specific times/locations to be provided later.

You also won't have any problem getting Uber/Lyfts (it's about a 30 minute drive).
