The White Glove Treatment
We are licensed to perform local moves in New Jersey and New York to relocate customers to any location in the continental United States, including Connecticut.
White Glove is also happy to offer a flat price on your long distance moving from New York to Connecticut. Our prices are based on your inventory rather than charging based on factors like weight or cubic feet. This helps eliminate variable on the move day and gives our consumers complete control over your price and removes all surprises.

Benefits of Living in Connecticut
If you’re thinking of taking the leap and heading out of the Empire State for its nearby neighbor the Nutmeg State, you might just find that this little New England state has a lot to offer for just about any taste. The state of Connecticut has a lot in common with its neighbor to the north, but still offers a distinct culture and environment for former New Yorkers to explore. Whether you’ve already booked your upcoming move or are still in the very early phases of choosing your next home, take a look at these fun facts you should know about Connecticut and why it could make a great home base.

Connecticut Offers Top Quality Public and Private Education
One of the top reasons many families choose to move to Connecticut is because the state is famed for its high quality of education. From K through 12 to colleges and universities, the Nutmeg State is chock-full of great educational options for kids and adults alike. Additionally, residents are able to choose between public and private options. Some of the top colleges in Connecticut that demonstrate the state’s commitment to quality education include, but are not limited to, the following.
- University of Connecticut
- Yale University
- Quinnipiac University
- University of Hartford
- University of St. Joseph
New York Weather With Beautiful Fall Foliage
If you’re worried you’ll miss New York’s colorful falls when you leave for Connecticut, no need to worry – the state has weather that’s relatively similar to New York’s and also boasts vibrant leaves during the fall months. Connecticut’s year-round weather is generally comparable to that of the New York City metropolitan area, and may be a bit more temperate than the weather in Upstate New York. However, no matter which part of New York you’re from, you’re sure to find a little piece of home in Connecticut’s familiar seasons.

You’ll Find Plenty of Family-Friendly Suburbs With Short Commutes to NYC
Thinking of buying a house in Connecticut but commuting into New York City for work? You’re not alone. The part of Connecticut bordering New York is popular with commuters precisely because it offers a relatively straightforward and short commute paired with numerous family-friendly suburbs. For many Connecticut residents who cross the border to work in New York State, this arrangement is the best of both worlds! If you’re considering making a similar move, be sure to put the following family-friendly areas on your list.
- Cheshire Village
- Old Greenwich
- New Canaan
- Avon
- Westport
- West Hartford

Connecticut Offers Plenty of All-Season Entertainment
Because Connecticut boasts picturesque seasons and fairly moderate weather throughout much of the year, residents have plenty of opportunities to explore the area and enjoy various types of entertainment. Although Connecticut is, geographically speaking, a fairly small state – only about 70 miles wide and 110 miles long – this means that it’s even easier to get to know! As a Connecticut resident, you can easily access:
- The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center
- Hammonasset Beach State Park
- Thimble Islands
- Yale Marsh Botanical Garden
- Sunnybrook State Park
- The northwest ‘Secret Corner’ of the state

Learn About a Rich History Distinct From New York’s
You may already be familiar with Connecticut’s nickname of the Nutmeg State, but did you know that it’s also nicknamed the Constitution State? That’s because Connecticut was one of the original 13 colonies, and is rich in American history. In Connecticut, you’re only steps away from historical landmarks and monuments steeped in the nation’s past. To learn more about the state’s unique history, be sure to visit:
- The Connecticut State Capitol in Hartford
- Harkness Memorial State Park
- The Old Newgate prison
- The Charles W. Morgan historic boat
- Fort Griswald and its surrounding Revolutionary War history

Explore the Unique Local New Englander Culture and Traditions
Unlike New York, which is generally considered a mid-Atlantic state culturally, Connecticut is officially part of New England. This means that New Yorkers can expect distinct cultural differences and unique local traditions! One major part of New England culture that you can’t miss out on if you live in Connecticut is the food. New Englanders in general, and Connecticut residents especially, are fond of menus made up of these traditional dishes made with local ingredients and recipes.
- Lobster rolls
- Clam chowder
- Baked beans
- Fried clams and oysters
- Apple pie
- Cream pie
Enjoy a Blend of Rural and Urban Areas Reminiscent of New York
Just like New York State, Connecticut boasts an idyllic blend of both rural and urban areas. This means that, whether you prefer living in large cities or traditional small towns, you’re sure to find an area that fits your tastes in the Nutmeg State. You can also choose to live in an urban area and frequently visit the rural parts that are only a short drive away, or vice versa. In short, Connecticut residents can choose the pace of life they prefer!
Before you shift gears and head south from New York for its neighboring state of Connecticut, make sure you keep this easy guide handy so you know what to expect. From a pleasant blend of urban and rural regions to unique New Englander culture to top-quality education and much more, the Nutmeg State has plenty of perks for its residents to enjoy every day. If you’re hoping to move to a stunning state with all the comforts of New York and its own unique flavor, use this guide to decide whether Connecticut would make a good home for you and your family.

What others are saying
See what our satisfied customers have to say about their seamless moving experiences with White Glove Moving & Storage.
Simply, I would not recommend using this moving company.
From the very beginning, their team was professional, communicative, and patient. They walked me through every step, answered all my questions, and were transparent about timelines and costs—no hidden fees or last-minute surprises.
We all got to the unit after 6pm ( 8 hours later) as the men started to unload. The first truck was unloaded and packed in storage unit to the brim. When the 2nd truck opened at the loading dock the truck looked like it flipped upside down. All my boxes were crushed and I was horrified. As they started to fill the 2nd unit Marlon approached me and said this unit is not enough space to store the remaining items. I looked at him and said what do we do and he didn’t know, he called the company and they had no idea either. I said how can this happen as their coordinator came to access and told me what was needed. They agreed to hold the items in their truck but will charge me for storage until I can secure yet another unit in the morning.
The next day I spoke with Margaret Lombardi, executive director who told me the company is not responsible to give information on what size unit the customer needs when using self storage? Why does a coordinating rep come and take pics and offer this advice, he never indicated it was up to me and even recommended storage places to use nearby.
Although the movers were professional enough the day was almost 12 hrs for them, they were tired and getting sloppy as time went on, my home was left with debris & the floors were scuffed from moving. I felt the company made me feel this was my fault.
I would never recommend this company even if they were for free!!!!!!
Not only were they fast and meticulous, but they were also friendly and respectful throughout the entire process. Truly top-notch service—they went above and beyond. If anyone deserves a raise, it's this crew!
A big shoutout as well to Brittany from the office. She was a dream to work with—proactive, professional, and super efficient. She reached out to me first, stayed in contact via text and email, and made the entire scheduling process seamless. I didn’t have to worry about a thing—she handled everything smoothly from start to finish.
We’ve had two flawless experiences with White Glove Movers. No issues, no damage, just exceptional service from a great company with a stellar team. I highly recommend them, especially for long-distance moves.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly White Glove Experience – Thank You, Emad & Team!
We recently moved from South Jersey to Sussex County, and choosing White Glove Movers was the best decision we could have made. From the very first conversation, Emad Ezzat was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Emad took the time to understand our needs, answer every question, and provide a clear, fair estimate—no surprises, just honesty and transparency. On moving day, his team arrived exactly on time, fully prepared, and with the kind of positive, can-do attitude that instantly put us at ease.
The crew worked with precision and care, treating every piece of furniture and box as if it were their own. Large, heavy items were handled effortlessly, and fragile belongings were wrapped and packed with meticulous attention. Not a single item was damaged in transit—a true testament to their skill and dedication.
Beyond their professionalism, the team’s courtesy stood out. They were respectful, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted in our new home. Moving can be exhausting, but with Emad and his crew, it actually felt organized and under control from start to finish.
If you want a moving company that delivers on every promise, treats your belongings with the utmost care, and makes a stressful process feel effortless, look no further than White Glove Movers. We cannot recommend Emad Ezzat and his outstanding team highly enough!

We found WGM through Peloton, as they are certified to move their bikes and treadmills. Russo came to our apartment and did a walk through weeks prior to our move to give us a quote. This blew us away. How professional!
On the day of our move we had a fantastic team— Alfredo, Juan, Charley, and Milton—who were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure our move was smooth and stress-free. We were moving into a brand new townhome so we were concerned about damaging the walls. They protected everything from plastic on the floors/carpets to cardboard to protect the white walls (see photos).
We will undoubtedly be using White Glove Moving for any future moving needs. Their level of service, professionalism, and attention to detail cannot be beat. I highly recommend them with the utmost confidence!

We had the pleasure of working with a fantastic team— Alfredo, Juan, Charley, and Milton—who were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure our move was smooth and stress-free. The team was punctual, extremely hard-working, and incredibly thorough. They paid close attention to every detail, including taping up walls and laying down floor coverings to protect the surfaces of our new townhome. This level of care made all the difference in preserving the condition of our new townhome while moving in.
The team worked efficiently and handled all of our belongings with the utmost respect, ensuring everything arrived in perfect condition. It was clear that they take great pride in their work, and it truly showed in the care they took throughout the process.
We will undoubtedly be using White Glove Moving for any future moving needs. Their level of service, professionalism, and attention to detail set them apart from other moving companies. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend this team and this service enough.
Thank you for a great experience.
We have used moving companies in the past, but White Glove is by far the best we have hired. Oscar the foreman led a top-star team, handling a drizzly day without any issues. Nothing broken. Heaviest furniture moved without any complaints. Bravo!
