Perched way up on a hill surrounded by acres and acres of Christmas trees, The Overlook at Geer Tree Farm is simple but beautiful. Read on to hear what this outdoor-only Connecticut wedding venue can offer you. And at the end of this post, be on the watch for a wedding day gallery and contact information!
History and Other Info
The Overlook at Geer Tree farm, as a wedding venue, has its roots in Christmas tree farming. No pun intended (sorry). The property has been family-owned by the Geers since the seventeenth century. What that means for you, as a nearlywed, is that they will handle your special day with care.

You and your guests will be able to drive right up hill from the street, park, and there you’ll be. The venue even owns a small shuttle that be used to get you and your wedding party to the venue.
