We were dreaming of a barn wedding in Connecticut but were finding that such venues were out of our price range, already booked, or just not what we really were looking for (banquet halls disguised like some type of a barn interior). We also knew we were going to have a large-ish crowd (185) and wanted a space people could spread out. We considered the Nathan Hale Homestead after a family recommendation and cannot imagine having hosted our wedding anywhere else. The process of booking was smooth and easy. Whenever we wanted to visit to take measurements or ask questions, Kristen of CT Landmarks was so welcoming, flexible, and supportive. The venue is historic and authentic, just as it is versatile and functional. Our wedding was very DIY, and the Nathan Hale Homestead is designed for that. In their smart renovations, there is a large patio that can hold two tents (a 40x40 for 160 guests and 20x30 for 40 guests), a bar area for serving, a nice warming/staging kitchen for your caterer, power outlets everywhere for your band/DJ, lawns to spread out and play games, two concrete pads for food truck hookups with power and fresh water, two indoor barn spaces, proper bathrooms, tons of parking, AND to top it off, tours of the historic homestead during our cocktail hour with museum guides (something we didn't expect but are so excited they had!). The only thing we wish we could have had on our cool autumn night was a fire pit, but because of its historic designation no open flame is permissible (we found other ways to stay warm!). Truly, we feel that this place was a hidden secret that we kind of hope stays hidden a bit longer, but cannot recommend them enough! A perfect venue for our perfect day!
