The larger venue, Lush Events CT, is designed to host a variety of events, including birthday parties, bridal and baby showers, corporate functions, networking events, pop-up markets and community gatherings.

Next door, Lush Private offers a smaller, all-inclusive event space that can accommodate up to 50 guests.

According to the owners, the venue is intended for more intimate events, with planning and vendor coordination handled in-house.

Since opening, the venues have hosted several community-focused events, including a first-time homebuyer brunch workshop and a Mother's Day brunch.

“We wanted to create something beautiful right here in our own backyard,” Wilson said. “Berlin deserves a space like this.”

Richards said the goal is to provide memorable experiences for groups of all sizes.

“Our goal is to make every event feel special — whether it’s an intimate gathering of 20 or a large community celebration,” Richards said. “We pour everything into these spaces.”

The venues are located at 518 High Road in Kensington and serve residents throughout Central Connecticut seeking event space for private, business and community functions.
