Testimony
We are so unbelievably happy to have chosen Bristol Audubon for our wedding venue. We and all of our guests thought that it was such a unique and beautiful space with gorgeous grounds and indoor exhibits that provided an incredibly magical nature-filled backdrop for our wedding. Additionally, the Audubon staff was exceptionally friendly, professional, and helped get the place all set up. It was clear that they did this for many other events and weddings, and everything, from the set up to the send off worked seamlessly. We will always cherish this special place as it was the foundation for so many good memories. - Jeremy Wortzel and Lena Champlin
