About

Step back in time and say "I do" surrounded by over 100 years of carousel art and history at The Carousel Museum in Bristol, CT. We are a unique venue for unique couples.

Housed in a beautifully restored post-and-beam factory from 1901, the museum boasts a fascinating collection of intricately carved animals, chariots, and memorabilia from the golden age of amusement parks. Imagine exchanging your vows in the Main Gallery, surrounded by hundreds of antique treasures and stunning carousel art.

You are welcome to host your ceremony with us at no additional charge. Following your ceremony, the celebration continues in the charming ballroom upstairs. With its sparkling Venetian crystal chandeliers and ample dance floor, it's the perfect space to dance the night away with your loved ones. And with a reasonably-priced rental fee, you have the freedom to choose your own caterer and vendors to bring your wedding vision to life.

​Best of all, your rental fee includes a full day of set-up, all tables and chairs, no need to add expensive rentals and your celebration supports the museum's mission to preserve and restore these works of art for future generations to enjoy.

​Experience the timeless charm and beauty of The Carousel Museum as you celebrate your love and create memories that will last a lifetime.
