    Wadsworth Mansion


    We had our wedding in August and we are still wishing we could go back in time to our perfect day. If you want a stunning venue with the most amazing staff, choose the Wadsworth Mansion. The second you pull onto the grounds you will feel like you have been transported to a timeless, magical fairytale. The elegance and beauty speaks volumes both inside the mansion and outside. Jessica was our wedding coordinator and she was amazing, professional, kind, and nothing but the best. Herself and the entire staff were exceptional. There was never a doubt or worry when it came to our wedding day. Thank you so much for making our day as perfect as we could ever have imagined it!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Morgan! Your wedding was such a wonderful celebration and we were honored to host you!

    Stunning Venue!!!

    My husband and I had our wedding here in September and it was AMAZING!! The staff truly was so wonderful to work with. Rachel, Megan and Jessica went above and beyond answering all my questions. Rachel was so helpful, especially on the day off - where she made sure everything was organized and ran smoothly. I was able to really just enjoy the day and they took care of the rest! Lastly, the property is breathtaking! So many of my guests still tell me what a beautiful venue it was! Highly recommended this venue and staff for your wedding!! And the pictures come out AMAZING 🤩

    The Most Magical, Timeless Wedding Venue

    Our wedding at the Wadsworth Mansion (9.27.2025) was pure magic. I truly can’t imagine getting married anywhere else. From the moment you drive up the tree-lined entrance, you feel like you’ve entered another world. The setting is completely breathtaking... elegant, timeless, and full of character. Every single space, from the beautiful lawn to the grand interior rooms, made the day feel like something out of a dream.

    Dancing on the back patio under the lights was one of my favorite memories. It felt like a movie moment and also like a gilded age party worthy of Gatsby. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and the atmosphere throughout the entire day was nothing short of perfect.

    Working with Jessica and Alex was such a joy. They were so kind, organized, and genuinely cared about helping us have the best day possible. From the planning stages through the wedding day itself, everything went so smoothly, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were on top of every detail.

    Our wedding memories will truly last a lifetime, and I will forever be grateful that we chose the Wadsworth Mansion. If you’re looking for a venue that’s both elegant and welcoming, with a team that goes above and beyond, this is it. I wouldn’t change a single thing... it was pure magic from start to finish. THANK YOU!!!

    Amazing venue, awesome staff!

    We got married here in August and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, from the grounds to the architecture. But, really made the day so special was the staff — especially our event coordinator, Rachel. She was a total star! So responsive, organized, and just such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Everything came together exactly how we wanted, and we’re so grateful to everyone who helped make it such a perfect day. Wishing we could relive it over and over again!

    The perfect venue

    Our wedding at the Wadsworth Mansion was truly a dream come true. The venue is absolutely stunning—elegant, timeless, and surrounded by gorgeous grounds that made for incredible photos.
    Our wedding coordinator, Rachel, truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. She was so organized, thoughtful, and made the day stress-free for us. Every little detail was handled with care, and she made sure we felt supported from start to finish. We can’t thank her enough!

    Also big shoutout to our caterer, Aqua Turf, who did an amazing job. The food and service were outstanding. They coordinated everything with the Wadsworth which also helped take the stress off of us!

    We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful or seamless day. Highly recommend Wadsworth Mansion to any couple looking for a magical wedding experience! Our guests are still raving about the venue! We would choose the Wadsworth Mansion again in a heartbeat.

    Perfect venue for our wedding

    My husband and I got married at the Wadsworth Mansion in June 2024, and it was the perfect venue for us. I was looking for something elegant, timeless, with flexibility for using outdoor and indoor spaces. Our guests have also expressed their appreciation for the venue. Everyone on the staff was super helpful to us from the beginning. We worked with Alexandra as our day-of coordinator, and she brought her expertise and creativity to our planning. She communicated with us throughout the process, giving us ideas as we bring our vision to life. During the wedding, Alexandra was incredibly helpful in making us feel relaxed, well taken care of, and supported. She was attentive to our needs and got things done. We appreciate her joyful, positive energy which made our experience fun and light. We highly recommend this venue for an incredibly memorable time.

    A Dream Wedding at the Stunning Wadsworth Mansion

    Having our wedding at the Wadsworth Mansion at Long Hill Estate was an absolute dream come true. The mansion itself is steeped in history and timeless elegance, with its rich architecture and stunning grounds offering the perfect backdrop for a truly magical day. From the moment we arrived, we knew this was the place where we wanted to celebrate such an important moment in our lives.

    The grounds are breathtaking—lush, sprawling lawns, and beautiful gardens that created endless opportunities for capturing the most incredible photos and videos. Every corner of the estate feels special, and the grandeur of the mansion adds a touch of classic sophistication that made our wedding feel like something out of a fairy tale.

    The staff and coordinators were absolutely phenomenal. Every single person we interacted with was kind, professional, and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure our day was flawless. They were thoughtful, organized, and handled every detail seamlessly, making us feel so cared for from start to finish. It’s clear that the Wadsworth Mansion team takes pride in creating unforgettable experiences, and they exceeded our expectations in every way.

    We feel so lucky to have celebrated our wedding at such a stunning and historic venue. The memories we created here will last a lifetime, and we truly cannot recommend the Wadsworth Mansion enough. If you’re considering this venue for your wedding or special event, I promise you will not be disappointed—it’s a one-of-a-kind place with an exceptional team that makes every moment feel extraordinary.

    Photos and videos currently being edited. Will update review accordingly.

    Five Stars Across the Board

    As hospitality and communications professionals, we have high standards for service, attention to detail, and the overall guest experience—and the Wadsworth Mansion exceeded every one of them.

    From the breathtaking grounds to the timeless elegance of the mansion, every element of this venue was flawless. The setting provided the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and reception, with lush gardens and grand architecture that wowed our guests and made for incredible memories and photographs.

    What sets the Wadsworth Mansion apart is its beauty and the exceptional, genuine service its team offers. The team, led by the lovely and wonderful Jessica, went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of every step of the way. From the initial planning stages to the final moments of the big day, we felt entirely supported. Jessica’s warmth, professionalism, and meticulous attention to detail made all the difference. She seamlessly guided us through the rehearsal, expertly timed aspects of the day, and even came to my rescue with eyelash glue when I discovered the one in my emergency kit was missing! Her genuine care made us feel relaxed and valued, ensuring the day unfolded ideally.

    Another standout feature is that the Wadsworth Mansion is a not-for-profit property, which speaks to the heart and dedication behind the venue. They only take one booking per day, so we had the entire estate to ourselves, giving us the peace of mind that our wedding was their sole focus. This exclusivity allowed for a flawlessly executed day, without the distraction of other events happening on-site.

    The mansion itself is stunning, combining historic charm with beautifully maintained grounds. The booking came with inclusions, which made the planning process even smoother and lightened the load of coordination required. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was!

    If you seek a venue offering high-quality service, true exclusivity, and a touch of historic New England magic, we cannot recommend the Wadsworth Mansion more highly. As professionals with discerning tastes, we could not imagine a more perfect place to begin this new chapter of our lives.

    Thank you, Wadsworth Mansion, for making our wedding day an exceptionally magical experience! Your outstanding service, attention to detail, and genuine care made our day extraordinary. We’re so fortunate to have had you be such an important part of our celebration. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of this unforgettable time in our lives.

    Most Magical Wedding Venue

    The Wadsworth Mansion was our absolute dream wedding venue. From the very first meeting with Jessica, we knew the place was going to be perfect for our wedding. Jessica answered all our questions on our first tour and was super welcoming. When the wedding planning began, Alexandra was the one to help me with all day of coordination. I truly could not ask for a better person to help us with our special day. She dealt with my constant emails about my unconventional seating arrangement ideas with total patience and grace. She made me feel like together we could make whatever I hoped for happen. Alexandra was also amazing the day of. She had the day going perfectly according to schedule and made sure my husband and I, and wedding party were taken care of at all times. On top of all this, The Wadsworth Mansion is an absolutely stunning venue. Everything is so well kept and every part of it is perfect for a wedding. There’s so much room for originality with also keeping the elegance of the venue. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of having their wedding there

    Romantic, fairytale wedding

    My husband and I got married at this BEAUTIFUL, most romantic venue on June 14, 2024. It truly was a fairytale. From our first appointment seeing the venue to our wedding day, everything went so smoothly. We were lucky enough to work with Rachel as our coordinator, who we met at the initial site visit appointment we made. I can't say enough amazing things about her and the rest of the Wadsworth Mansion staff. Their venue is not only gorgeous, but their staff is extremely organized, friendly, and professional. They even allowed our dog, who is our baby, to be part of the ceremony!! I would get married here over and over again if I could!! We've already been back to experience one of their fun concerts on the back lawn. We hope to continue to keep coming back to Wadsworth Mansion as a part of our love story.

    Dream wedding venue

    The PERFECT wedding venue! As soon as we pulled up the driveway, we knew this was the venue for us. The team at the mansion are professional, kind and helpful. We had Rachel for our day of coordinator and she was incredible! Throughout the entire planning process, the team at Wadsworth was communicative and supportive. They always answered any questions we had in a timely manner and they truly made our day run so smoothly. The venue is gorgeous and well maintained. You truly do not have to bring any additional decor if you don't want to because it is so beautiful. We were able to have our ceremony outside and the reception indoors. Our day truly felt like a fairytale and a huge part of that is because of the gorgeous Wadsworth Mansion as the setting. We cannot recommend them enough!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Katie! It was an honor hosting your celebration at the Mansion and we are so glad we were able to be the location of your fairytale wedding. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!

    A must for a beautiful New England wedding!

    The Wadsworth is the full package--a beautiful, historic venue with helpful staff who encouraged us to explore our vision. They offered support throughout the planning process, have a vast network of referrals and recommendations, and helped make day of coordination a dream. From the very first visit, we knew this venue was perfect for us. If you have any hesitation on the split dining rooms, we had 170 guests at our November 2023 wedding, and absolutely loved how intimate the rooms were, and it made dinner feel all the more special and intentional. We cannot recommend this venue enough!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    It was such a pleasure hosting your wedding, Rebecca. Thank you for your kind words and we wish you all the happiness in the world!

    The best wedding venue & vendor!

    The Wadsworth is an amazing venue! Not only is the venue absolutely stunning, but the staff that works there is equally amazing. The Wadsworth provides an online platform to assist in the wedding planning process and the recommended vendors are top tier. The Wadsworth staff was kind and knwoledgeable which ensured our day ran smoothly. I would definitely recommend this venue!

    Book your wedding here asap!

    I cant say enough amazing things about the Wadsworth and the incredible staff that comes with the most elegant venue in Connecticut. I worked with Jess and Rachel to plan my wedding and they provided so much help and support, I felt extremely comfortable not having a planner. Rachel was so great in the final months of the wedding. They helped us with EVERYTHING.
    It goes without saying there is a huge WOW factor here. The building itself is just beautiful and makes for such timeless photos. We got married in August while the hydrangeas were in bloom and the grounds were stunning for our ceremony. We then had cocktail hour in the rose garden and transformed the space. Plus, the balcony in the back is EVERYTHING. See the photos for inspo.
    The ballrooms inside our beautiful but we wanted a fully outdoor wedding (100% use David Alan Catering if you want the same) and the mansion staff worked tirelessly to help us pull that off. Even accommodating a tent and a brand new plan the week of the wedding when the threat of rain became a real possibility. I don't have one bad thing to say. The night was perfect and they helped to make it so

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Juliana, we LOVED hosting your wedding at the Mansion! Thank you for your kind words, and being a fabulous person to work with throughout your plans. Your wedding was stunning! Please visit us again and we wish you both all the happiness in the world!

    The wedding of our dreams!

    The wedding of our dreams was held at the Mansion in April of this year and it could not have been more perfect! As a more mature couple without a true vision of what we wanted, Megan was invaluable in helping us design the ideal evening. Without her, who know what we would have come up with! Every idea she had the caterer and florist were able to execute flawlessly. She was with us every step of the way all the way to when I walked down the aisle. And Alex, our event supervisor for the evening, took such incredible care of us...she even kept my phone for the entire night and made sure to take tons of photos for us! The Mansion is just such a gorgeous venue and all of our guests were blown away. Get married at The Wadsworth Mansion - you'll be happy you did!

    THE Most Beautiful Venue, EVER

    WOW - where do we even begin! We got married here on 6/10/23, and could not be happier with our experience!

    First and foremost, the Mansion is absolutely stunning beyond words. We fell in love with it from the moment we saw it, and immediately knew it was "the one". We got married in the rose garden, had our cocktail hour on the patio (with a sailcloth tent and bistro lighting), and dined in both dining rooms plus the middle (head table). Initially, we were concerned that having split up dining would break up the party, but it did anything but that! We absolutely LOVED having the dining area separate from the "party" area. Our guests raved about the beauty of Wadsworth and how perfect everything was.

    Everything was seamless from the beginning of our planning process (almost 2 years ago). We had the pleasure of being assigned Alexandra (Alex) Shields as our event coordinator in the months leading up to the wedding. She is THE BEST. She answered my never-ending emails, constantly offered a phone call if needed, and ensured absolutely everything went perfectly smooth on our big day. She seamlessly coordinated all of the vendors and ensured all of our details were perfectly set up. She even dealt with a mini bride meltdown week of :). Night of- anytime we were almost done with a drink, Alex seemed to be right there with another which was greatly appreciated.

    We recommend the mansion 1,000x. There truly is not a more beautiful venue out there. It is the most romantic, picturesque setting that you can completely make your own with its' many spaces to hold different parts of the wedding. We absolutely loved being able to hand-select all of our vendors (with help from Wadsworth's recommendations). It was a picture perfect day that we will never forget.

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Thank you so much, Becca! We're so glad you had the most amazing day and that you loved every moment - that is the best review we can receive! We so appreciate the love and send it right back to you! Wishing you the most wonderful life of wedded bliss and please visit us again!

    The Wadsworth makes for a perfect wedding!

    We booked The Wadsworth Mansion for our wedding and it was one of the best choices we could have made.

    Catie was incredible from day one. She was always responsive via email, very helpful in the planning process, and kept everything running smoothly on the day of. She remembers every little detail and handles everything with ease!

    The venue itself is so stunning and offers so many spaces you can use, from the rose garden to the ballrooms and beyond. It allows for your guests to stay interested and makes it so easy to keep your entire event at one location.

    We can't recommend The Wadsworth Mansion enough!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words!! We loved hosting your celebration at the Mansion and hope you will visit us again soon!

    Get married here!

    100% the best venue, hands down. My husband and I fell in love with the venue the first time we visited and immediately booked the Wadsworth Mansion back in 2018 for a spring 2020 wedding. Long story short, we had to postpone 2 years until June 2022 and they made it so easy to do so! We had a small 65-person wedding and it was the perfect amount of people to use one of the ballrooms for the dinner reception. We used the other ballroom for our Chinese tea ceremony, had our wedding ceremony on the back lawn, and danced outside on the patio. Weddings at the Wadsworth are so customizable and every corner of this place is beautiful. In addition, the staff there is so helpful during the planning process; super responsive and helpful in giving tips and asking questions. The cherry on top is that they're dog friendly so we got to bring our pup with us to celebrate our day too!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Thanks you so much, Connie! We're so glad you were able to have the wedding of your dreams at the Mansion. It was such a pleasure working with you and being the setting for your amazing celebration!

    Dream Venue, Dream Team!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff at the Wadsworth Mansion. They were all so kind and helpful. Jessica was so patient and went above and beyond—truly amazing (both at the wedding and leading up to it). We had to reschedule due to Covid, and I was so hesitant about picking a new date (I am very Covid-cautious). I was the last of their 2020 brides to reschedule, and they were so accommodating and understanding. They answered all of my (numerous) questions, were helpful, accessible, sooo nice, and fun to work with. We went forward with a small wedding, and I am so happy we chose the Wadsworth Mansion. The venue is positively stunning (I fell in love with it instantly), and Jessica and the whole staff made everything so easy. They know their stuff and helped make sure our wedding not only went smoothly—but felt magical!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so, so happy we were able to help you plan and re-plan your wedding and it turned out to be everything you dreamed of! Wishing you both a lifetime of wedded bliss and we hope you will visit us again!

    Dream Team!

    Jessica and her team at the Wadsworth Mansion were amazing in every sense of the word! Planning a wedding in July 2021 came with a few planning obstacles and roadblocks due to covid, however we felt like we were in great hands from day one. Jessica was extremely responsive in all communications and made us feel informed and comfortable during the planning process. We were able to have about 80 guests indoors for dinner, and our ceremony and reception outdoors on the large back patio. Jessica was insightful, patient, and extremely knowledgeable when in came to planning our big day. From vendor recommendations to day of execution, we cannot recommend Wadsworth Mansion and Jessica enough! We wish we could relive our big day all over again – thank you!!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Kaitlyn, your wedding was a DREAM and we're so glad you chose us to be the place to celebrate your marriage. We wish you and Jakob a lifetime of love and adventures and hope our paths cross again!

    Get Married Here

    I cannot say enough good things about the Wadsworth Mansion. It was our one and only tour of wedding venues. Fell in love instantly. The people behind the scenes, Catie, Megan etc were perfect. No question went unanswered. They made our big day so seamless with their attention to detail, even after we had to postpone due to COVID. The grounds are beautiful and our guests raved about the drive in. We are so glad we chose the Mansion.

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Marina! Your wedding was an amazing celebration and we're so glad you hosted with us! Wishing you both love and happiness, always!

    Couldn't imagine a more perfect place for a wedding!

    My husband and I can not say enough wonderful things about the Wadsworth Mansion! Our coordinator Jessica truly went above and beyond to make sure our big day went smoothly and was everything we imagined it would and more. The whole team was so easy to work with (even after we were forced to push our date out by a year due to Covid) and made sure our big day was effortless and nothing short of perfect. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue looked and how impressed they were with everything. More importantly, we truly felt that Jessica and the team were there to help and support us every step of the way, from answering our every question (whether it was related to the venue or not) to ensuring everything happened exactly how we wanted. It was truly all a dream come true and I couldn't imagine a more perfect place for a Connecticut wedding!!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Thank you so much, Alyssa! Your wedding was a wonderful celebration and we were honored to host you all. Wishing you both all the love and happiness for the years to come.

    You need to get married here!!

    The Wadsworth Mansion has always been my dream wedding venue. When my husband and I went for our site tour I was in awe as soon as we walked into the building, I knew we didn’t need to look any further. We were so excited when we booked the mansion. Jess and Megan were so helpful with keeping us updated on Covid guidelines and worked with our wedding planner to make our night unforgettable!

    We decided to keep our wedding fully outside under the tent and it was absolutely stunning. The grounds, building and everything about the mansion is truly beautiful!! If your looking for a mansion wedding, you don’t need to look any further, book Wadsworth!! My husband and I and our families had an amazing night!!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Your wedding was so amazing and we're so glad your wedding dreams came true! It was a pleasure working with you and we wish you a lifetime of happiness. Thank you so much for your kind words!

    Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.

    I found the Wadsworth Mansion in a magazine under venues in New England. We were going to be driving through CT so we figured why not? Being from New York- Born, raised and living in Brooklyn, we didn't know about this place or really anything about CT.

    I left the initial site visit knowing "This is it". Jess was amazing and we decided this was the place for us.
    Pre-Pandemic- The Wadsworth, made up of Jess and a team, were always helpful and accomodating. Jess answered all 10000 of my questions and were super knowledgable and supportive throughout the process. She came through will all great recommendations and was truly happy to see our dream coming to fruition.
    Pandemic- During the stressful time of figuring out "postpone or to not postpone" the Wadsworth was nothing but understanding and compassionate. I mean, yes, you'd expect people to be understanding during a global pandemic, but they were supporting-- it never felt like business- but felt like family. The team at the Wadsworth were on top of all policies and regulations during the year and made sure to keep everyone posted.

    They were super accommodating when we decided to pivot our original plan to a strictly outdoor, covid-safe plan. It is one thing to speak and give out ideas, it is another to feel truly heard-- Wadsworth did that.

    In the end, Jess & the team helped make our wedding dreams come true. Because of all the (unexpected) time we had together, we grew to know the Wadsworth and not only respect and appreciate the wonderful staff, but see them as friends.

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Awwww! Thanks so much for your amazing review! It was so great getting to know you and working with you throughout all the unknowns - you became family, too! Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

    Wed at the wadsworth!

    Get married here!!! This is hands down the most beautiful wedding venue you’re ever going to see, and the staff that you get the honor to work with couldn’t be any better! From beginning to end planning a wedding with the Wadsworth Mansion was as easy as it gets. Notice how I said, “plan a wedding WITH the Wadsworth?” That is because Catie, Megan, and Jess are by your side from the moment you tour the grounds to hugging you goodnight at the end of the reception. I’m talking kind, attentive, flexible, and FUN! They made themselves available for any questions, and went so far above and beyond to make sure we understood the ins and outs of weddings. We had seen pictures of the mansion on their website and said if we liked it in person as much as online, it was a done deal. We didn’t even make it halfway up the driveway before we decided it was where our forever needed to begin. We love the Wadsworth and hope to go back for many celebrations in the future.

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Ahhhhh, Samantha! It's brides like you that make what we do so amazing! We're so glad your day was perfect, and that we were able to provide the space for such a wonderful celebration. Congratulations, again! Visit us anytime!

    A dream come true!

    Wedding planning can be tough...but wedding planning during a pandemic can seem impossible! My husband and I, as well as our family and friends, were so incredibly lucky to have the AMAZING Wadsworth team by our side, not only on our big day, but through every step leading up to it. The venue is something out of a storybook and the staff made everything seamless and spectacular. I never once felt forgotten, stressed or helpless during our months leading up to our August 2020 celebration. Megan, Catie and Jess kept us in the loop constantly with ever-changing city protocols and worked tirelessly with our vendors to ensure we could make the day happen safely and beautifully. I'll always remember our wedding day as picture perfect and I have the Wadsworth Mansion to thank for that!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Amanda! Your wedding was amazing and we loved every detail of your day. We’re so happy you were able to host your wedding as planned - it was perfection! Thank you for your kind words and we wish you and Sean the very best!

    Our dream venue!

    When our original plans were no longer possible, we replanned our whole wedding in 6 weeks this past fall. The staff at the Wadsworth Mansion made this possible! Jessica and Catie were super responsive, flexible, and supportive. The property is absolutely stunning and has several versatile options for your ceremony and reception. A beautiful blend of romantic and historic - I highly recommend the Mansion for your wedding!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Exceeded Our Expectations

    We moved our wedding date from November 2020 to September 2020 so we could have our wedding outside rather than inside due to covid.
    Our original venue did not have outdoor space, so we began looking at outdoor venues and found the Wadsworth two months before our new date. In the span of 8 weeks Jessica and Catie helped us plan the wedding of our dreams while accommodating the requirements due to covid such as spcaing guests out, etc. We felt safe and so did our guests which was very important to us. Everything was beautiful and was beyond anything we expected, especially with covid and booking the venue at such short notice. I would highly recommend this venue! We held our ceremony outside in the rose garden and utilized the tent space over the patio for our reception, but there are many options available. Catie was our event supervisor for our wedding and she ensured everything went smoothly and that we stayed on track with time. She was there for all of our questions and helped us pack up our flowers and gifts and the end of the night.

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    We're so glad you found us and we were able to host your beautiful wedding! Thank you for your kind words and we wish you both the very best as Mr. and Mrs.!

    Gorgeous Venue

    Wadsworth Mansion turned out to be the perfect venue during a pandemic. We never thought a year ago that we would be getting married during Covid, but we sure lucked out to have picked Wadsworth to do so. They made getting married during a pandemic safe for everyone with their spacious outdoor areas which allowed guests to social distance while still enjoying the event. Catie was very helpful being our day of coordinator and Jess was great at getting the ball rolling on booking the event and working out the details. Aside from that, the venue is beautiful and DOG FRIENDLY. I was able to bring my dog for the ceremony and have her with us while we were waiting in the bridal suit. I would definitely recommend this venue to those looking for a wedding venue. The grounds are gorgeous as well as the building itself. We were lucky to only have to change one thing to have a Covid wedding - moving dinner outside. They provided a beautiful tent to make sure our guests were covered from the elements and it coordinated in with the mansion so it blended in. You will have a beautiful wedding if you choose to get married at Wadsworth Mansion!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words Britany, and we're so glad you trusted us to make sure your wedding would be perfect, even in a pandemic! You had a fabulous celebration and we loved having your dog there, too! Wishing you both a lifetime of wedded bliss and we hope you'll visit us again!

    Absolutely Stunning!

    We had the most magical wedding day at the mansion! It is absolutely beautiful there with indoor/outdoor options as to how you would like the ceremony and reception to take place. The grounds are impeccable as is the interior. Jessica and the staff are responsive, friendly and professional, leading up to and on the day of they make sure all ran smoothly without us having to worry about a thing. They even helped us bump up the time of our firework display because the weather was calling for rain! They were so on it, and helpful at every turn. I would recommend the venue without hesitation as well as their preferred vendors. By working with the preferred vendors, there was such a sense of teamwork among the venue, caterers and DJ. All went off without a hitch! We also included a photo from our photographers Vicki + Erik who captured the mansion so beautifully. We cannot imagine having gotten married anywhere else and would recommend the venue without hesitation!

    Spring Wedding

    They have a great team at Wadsworth, I can't praise them enough. They were incredibly responsive and able to answer every question I had (and there were many- this was my first wedding after all!) and guide me through what I needed to consider based on what they've done in the past, which was so helpful in allowing me to make my own choices, knowing what is possible and pushing the bounds! They were right on board when I said we wanted to have pool tables, for example, and seemed so happy to see us happy!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Melissa! Your wedding was truly a unique reflection of you two and we were honored to host it at the Mansion. We wish you years of happiness!

    Beautiful venue and great team!

    We had our multicultural wedding here (Indian wedding in the morning followed by a western wedding in the evening and then a reception) and Jessica and her staff were the best team for the job. The grounds were beautiful, the venue was flexible with all of our crazy requests, and the value for money was awesome. So many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they have attended, and much of it was due to the gorgeous venue. Highly recommend!

    Stunning Wedding Venue, Wonderful Team

    The Wadsworth Mansion is nothing short of a dream wedding venue. From the moment my (now) husband and I set foot on the property, we knew there was no other place we would rather get married. From the stunning architecture, to the beautifully maintained grounds and the peaceful, quiet nature of the surroundings, there is not one thing missing from this location. And perhaps most importantly, Deborah, Jessica, and the rest of the Wadsworth Mansion team were incredible to work with for our wedding. They went above and beyond to make sure that our day was everything that we had imagined. The venue itself was the perfect size for our approximately 170 guest wedding and was equally accommodating to all of our vendors. We loved being able to make our wedding personal and our own by bringing in all of our own vendors, and the Wadsworth team was helpful in providing us with lists of vendors that they enjoy and have successfully worked with in the past. Deb and Jess were communicative from the very beginning, and always took the time to thoroughly answer our questions and requests. Our guests still talk to us about how breathtaking the venue was, and how the layout of the mansion and the grounds encouraged a beautiful, well-organized wedding. Lastly, my husband and I love that, now that we are married, we can return to the mansion for events such as the summer concert series and local artisan fairs and relive our wedding day while making new memories together. We absolutely recommend the Wadsworth Mansion as an elegant wedding venue that still feels intimate and comfortable for all in attendance - we will be forever grateful to have had our wedding and celebration at this timeless venue!

    A day we will never forget...

    Being married at the Wadsworth Mansion was an easy decision once we walked the grounds and saw how stunning the mansion came to life. The grounds are kept up in perfect condition and added a perfect backdrop for our wedding ceremony and reception. Working with Deb, Jess and Meg was simply perfect. From the welcome packet which explained all of the little details to the communication to ensure everything was lining up was seamless. All three ladies were there to ensure we had the most perfect and flawless day. What makes the mansion unique is having the building to yourself. There are no two weddings on the same day. We very much enjoyed using both ballrooms for our friends and family. Trust them when it comes to designing your layout. They are very much experienced with all things weddings and if we could do it all over again, we would!! Thank you again, Wadsworth for making this a day we will never forget!

    I had my wedding at Wadsworth Mansion and it was the perfect venue. It is absolutely beautiful and in the middle of the woods, so you are the only wedding there and you have the whole place for you and your guests! The staff was amazing, you are assigned a day of wedding coordinator that takes care of everything! I was planning my wedding from CA and was able to FaceTime the staff for meetings and to see the venue spaces!

    Part of having a successful wedding is picking the perfect venue. From the moment my daughter and I toured the Wadsworth, we knew that The Wadsworth Mansion was the place. The grounds and mansion are absolute perfection.

    Leading up to the day, Jessica and Natalie were so attentive responding to my endless e-mails regarding all aspects of the wedding preparations. Living out of state, these lovely ladies were able to make referrals for other vendors who made the day a roaring success. Our on-site coordinator for the day of was beyond sweet and accommodating. She was so calm! She listened to all of our wants and made my daughter's wedding day perfect.

    I had so many guests comment on how this was the best wedding that they had ever been to. I am so grateful to the Wadsworth for making my daughter's special day VERY SPECIAL!

    We used the Wadsworth Mansion for both our ceremony and reception for our wedding this past July. I can not recommend this venue enough! The mansion is beautiful and the staff take excellent care of it. It was the perfect setting for our special day and had the exact vibe we were going for. The staff are so nice and help you every step of the way through the planning process, and you have a coordinator assigned to you the day of the wedding who makes sure everything runs smoothly. I also really loved that they organized a pre-wedding walk through along with our caterer a few days before the wedding. At the end of the event, they had everything cleaned up, packed and ready to go. And even though we didn't need it, I really loved and appreciated that they had a good back up weather plan too. Definitely had a fantastic experience here.

    We booked the Wadsworth two years before our wedding date. From the moment we toured the Wadsworth, we knew that we needed to get married there. The grounds and mansion are absolute perfection.

    Leading up to the day, Jessica was so attentive responding to my endless e-mails regarding everything you could possibly imagine. The day of our wedding, Natalie was our coordinator and she was beyond sweet, accommodating, and calm! She listened to all of our wants and made our wedding day perfect.

    We had so many guests come up to us and tell us it was the best wedding that they had ever been to. We are so grateful to the Wadsworth for making our special day VERY SPECIAL! We can't wait to return in the future for public events.

    My husband and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the Wadsworth Mansion. The venue itself is beautiful, private, well maintained, and provides you with so many wonderful backdrops for photos! We held our summer ceremony on the vista, cocktail hour on the patio, seated dinner in the dining rooms, and dancing back out on the patio. It was just PERFECT! Our guests continue to tell us it was the best wedding they've ever been to, and we truly feel it's because of how spectacular our venue was. Not to be outdone, the mansion staff are equally amazing! Director of Events, Jessica, was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish – she was organized and always answered my questions quickly which was extremely comforting when planning our wedding cross-country. Day of Coordinator, Natalie, was wonderful on our wedding day and made sure everyone was in the right place at the right time. She even fluffed my train right before the big walk down the aisle! If you're looking for a unique, elegant wedding venue with exceptional client service - look no further than the Wadsworth Mansion!

    My wedding at Wadsworth Mansion in June was nothing short of spectacular. Guests who attended said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and were mesmerized by the building and grounds of Wadsworth. The planning process was exceptionally easy - as a bride juggling graduating med school and moving to a new house, I needed a venue that was easy to work with and responsive. When you book at Wadsworth, included in the price are wedding planners who are extremely professional and experienced. They know the grounds and the vendors to a tee. The mansion provides a list of vendors they prefer to work with which was really appealing to me so I didn't have to call countless and request quotes from various vendors. The actual day was so magical and the weather was perfect. Everyone who attended said they had the absolute best time and my fiance and I couldn't be happier. We went into planning the wedding wanting a celebration, a party that was about our guests and wanting them to have a great time. Wadsworth far exceeded our expectations and besides picking my groom, it was one of the best decisions I made!

    We were so happy with our choice to have our April 2017 wedding reception at the Wadsworth Mansion. It is a beautiful blank canvas that we were able to customize to our taste. Deb, Jess, and Natalie were all so pleasant to work with and helped us to find wonderful vendors and design a floor plan to make our dream wedding a reality!

    Jessica was so accommodating and helpful in making several important decisions. She helped create and coordinate a plan for our winter wedding. The snow on our wedding day made the mansion so incredibly beautiful. My guests commented all night at how beautifully the place was decorated and how cozy it felt inside. The pictures were stunning and the whole experience was unforgettable!

    Wadsworth Mansion was the perfect location for my wedding ceremony and reception! It is a stunningly beautiful venue that is both grand and intimate at the same time. The staff is also lovely. Jessica was my coordinator, and throughout the process she was on top of everything, answering all of my questions speedily and with extremely helpful details and suggestions. Natalie was the on-site coordinator for the day of, and she did a great job of helping to ensure everything ran smoothly. I'm so glad I chose Wadsworth for our venue; I highly recommend booking with them!

    The Wadsworth was the first - and only - wedding venue I visited in person while planning our big day. Before we even got all the way up the long drive, I said to my husband: "this is where we're getting married" and I am so glad we did. This venue is breath-taking. From the front, to the back patio, the ballrooms and great lawn. Several guests told us this was the most beautiful wedding venue they'd ever been to, and we agree! The entire team at The Wadsworth are so accommodating and kind. They have the perfect mix of event-planner perfection (being that they do this all of the time) and open/creative spirit. We always heard back from their team right away, they always had an answer to our questions and provided us with tons of ideas and solutions for maximizing the space and our event. They also worked really well with our other vendors, which made everything go super smooth.

    I cannot say enough good things about Wadsworth Mansion! My husband and I were married here in early June 2016, and the venue was absolutely stunning. Jessica and Natalia went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went off without a hitch, even calling another vendor on our behalf when we ran into some issues. We loved that we were able to have the majority of our wedding outside -- the ceremony, cocktail hour, toasts and dancing -- because the grounds are just as gorgeous as the mansion. We also liked the flexibility of the mansion... you're not locked into a specific caterer, so you can really save money if you pick the right one. When you consider that you'd spend a few thousand dollars to rent a plastic tent, spending a few thousand to rent Wadsworth for the day is money WELL spent.

    I had my reception on June 6th at the Wadsworth Mansion. I can't say enough about how wonderful it was. Everything went perfectly, if I had to do it again I wouldn't change a thing. The only thing the mansion is lacking is an attached hotel! It would be brilliant if they turned some of the upstairs rooms into an inn. This is the BEST venue in CT.

    I got married at the Wadsworth Mansion, and it was one of the best decisions of the whole wedding process! The mansion was so beautiful, and a really interesting and different location. The drive in is so gorgeous - it looks like a miniature Biltmore. I worked with Jessica leading up to the wedding, and Rebecca on the day of, and they were both incredibly competent and sweet. We had the ceremony in the rose garden, and then cocktail hour/dancing on the patio - perfect weather in September! We were the only wedding that weekend, which was unusual, so we got to come on Friday afternoon for the rehearsal (seriously thank god for Rebecca) and then came back on Monday to pick up any leftover alcohol/decorations, etc.

    Choosing this location really set the tone for the whole wedding (very vintage/antique/Gatsby-esque) , and I would do it again in a heartbeat. My only advice is to use one of the recommended caterers and choose vendors that know the mansion well. We saved ourselves so much stress by relying on people who knew what they were doing, and while the Wadsworth isn't an all-in-one venue, it's so much more interesting and fun than one of those venues that pumps out weddings every weekend.

    The staff was extremely helpful and our event supervisor Rebecca was very responsive to our questions. She set us all at ease at the rehearsal and the day of the wedding she orchestrated everything perfectly. I had been told I should get a "day of coordinator" to make sure I could enjoy the wedding but there was no need. Rebecca and our caterer Meghan at David Allen Catering worked as a seamless team. I was able to relax and enjoy the day. I wouldn't change a thing.

    I could not have asked for a better place to get married. Initially it was we were concerned with the 2 rooms instead of having 1 ballroom but in the end it worked out just fine. Both Jessica and Rebecca were great in responding to me quickly. They were great to work with as my table set up was different than normal. The mansion property was perfect for our day, the grounds were well manicured, the flowers were blooming perfectly. I am sure my picture speak to the beauty of this place.

    I would definitely suggest this place to anyone that would like to get married here.

    My husband and I are so happy we had our wedding this past July at The Wadsworth Mansion. It was the perfect venue! I actually went to look at the mansion with a girlfriend and I fell in love with it. The wedding show was being held the following weekend, but due to work I couldn't attend so my fiance actually went alone and he also fell in love with the mansion. It was the only place we looked at and we don't regret it one bit! Jessica was amazing from day one, very helpful and always responded to my questions right away! On our Wedding day we had the pleasure of having Rebecca as our coordinator. She was excellent! Everyone loved her, She made sure the ceremony ran smoothly and made the bridal party was spot on. During the reception she made sure everything was as it should be, as far as I know there were no issues :). Loved every minute at the Mansion, Thanks Rebecca and Jessica!

    I was truly blessed with a fantastic vendor team and The Wadsworth was the best home field I could possibly imagine. Jessica and Rebecca were so professional yet so much fun to work with. They kept everything in check and kept me on track. They were always there to answer any questions I had. From initial planning to the actual day, everything was run like a perfectly oiled machine.

    The venue itself is absolutely beautiful!! With such beautiful grounds, only one wedding a day, and such wonderful staff - this has got to be the best wedding venue in CT. Thank you to luck being on my side so that I was able to nab a date for this year and to the Wadsworth Team for helping make my wedding so beautiful. I already miss working with you but plan to attend functions throughout the year!

    My now husband and I were blown away when we drove up the driveway and saw the Mansion. We never expected to find ourselves getting married at such an amazing venue. While most venues that are in the near area have multiple weddings occurring at the same time and include catering/linens/etc, we loved the fact that we would be the only ones for the entire rental time and could plan out to the smallest details. Jessica and Anne were amazing to work with and really helped in making our wedding happen. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and truly makes decorating for a wedding easy.

    From the moment we set foot at the Mansion we knew we wanted to get married there. All the ladies at the Wadsworth Mansion were amazing! They made my wedding day perfect! We were supposed to get married outside but 10 minutes before the ceremony was supposed to start the weather took a turn for the worse and they quickly and efficiently got everything moved inside and got the ceremony started without a hitch!

    The ladies of the Wadsworth made us feel extremely special and comfortable about our choices. They were flexible about changing up the ceremony space to make our own unique rain plan. Anne was fantastic and quick to respond to all of my questions and provide great recommendations for vendors. My wedding was in fact a fairy tale and I could have not picked a more perfect venue.

    Let me tell you, I wanted PERFECTION for my wedding day...and got just that with the help of Wadsworth Mansion! As soon as my fiance and I drove up the long driveway up to Wadsworth Mansion, I knew this was our venue. I was floored by the Mansion and grounds-keeping and how much more beautiful they were than the pictures online. We met with Jessica Hess, and let me tell you, she was amazing (she always called me her Princess Bride ;)). If the mansion can't sell you on having your wedding there, the staff will! She was an absolute joy to work with and I can't imagine going through this process without her there. Our coordinator for the wedding day was Deborah; she was awesome and did an excellent job coordinating everything. I STRONGLY recommend scheduling a tour of the venue; it'll leave a lasting impression!

    Since the moment we drove down the long, tree line driveway and saw the mansion at the end, we knew it was the place for us! This venue offers privacy, beauty, and an intimate setting that many other venues in the area cannot provide. The option for both indoor and outdoor portions of the wedding along with AC were very important to us knowing how unpredictable summer weather can be! Anne, Deb, and Jessica were all wonderful in the planning process and always responded immediately to any of my emails or calls. After first meeting with Deb, I knew we wouldn't have to worry about anything and that was exactly the case! We had our ceremony on the lawn and cocktails and dancing under the stars. The day turned out to be more than we could have ever imagined and our guests can't stop talking about how gorgeous the venue as.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about both the venue and the wonderful ladies who make countless fairytale weddings happen there. From the moment we visited the website, we knew there was something incredibly special about Wadsworth Mansion. The tour only affirmed this. We were planning a June wedding and it was important to us that our venue had the option of air conditioning, as well as equally beautiful indoor and outdoor options (New England weather can be unpredictable to say the least) and that only one wedding per day was hosted at the venue. While there are many beautiful venues in CT, many of the others we toured did not have these options. Fortunately, the weather cooperated and were able to have an outdoor ceremony in the tennis pavilion/rose garden, followed by cocktail hour on the patio, dinner in the ballroom and dancing under the stars on the patio. It was such a unique and beautiful experience for all of our guests. Anne was truly a pleasure to work with and made the planning process a breeze. I had the utmost confidence that I would not have to worry about anything venue-related on my wedding day.

    Our reception at the Wadsworth Mansion was absolutely perfect. Words can not describe the unique beauty of this place. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. The layout is very different from a traditional ballroom wedding and our guests enjoyed the different experience. When you pull into the driveway and walk up to the mansion you know it will be a special, unforgettable evening. Worth every penny then some (although we also got a deal for our off season wedding). I can't believe more people don't have their wedding reception here! I couldn't recommend it any more highly!!!!

    Fell in love with this beautiful venue, but when we met with the staff and went over all of the details they really made everything so simple and effortless. They were so wonderful, always reminding us of things when needed and kept in constant contact as we approached our wedding date. On our actual wedding day, they were extremely organized, professional, accommodating, friendly and very patient. Our wedding day would not have been the success that it was without the great people of the Wadsworth Mansion. Thanks again for making our wedding day so wonderful!

    Wow is all I can say about this place. This was the first place that my fiancé and I visited when we were planning our day. We knew the second we pulled into the driveway and as we drove down through the tress this would be the place that we would get married. The grounds are breathtaking, inside the mansion is just beautiful. We planned to have our ceremony outside along with cocktail hour and dancing. Sadly to say we had to bring the evening indoors as their would be a monsoon occurring! Of course me being the bride was so stressed out about the weather and so very upset I couldn't have my ceremony,pictures, cocktail hour and dancing outside. The weather is out of my control which is what Anne told me. She also told me I wouldn't even know it was raining and of course I didn't believe her. When my day came the mansion look exquisite, everyone did the most amazing job and I wish I could relive the whole day all over again (maybe without the rain tho:-). And to be honest at one point I looked outside and didn't even realize it was raining as hard as it was because it was the most unforgettable night of my life. Thank you to all the girls of the Mansion I will remember this day for the rest of my life.

    Gorgeous location. Gorgeous facility. Surprisingly affordable (as CT wedding venues go). Add the built-in wedding coordinators that will help you with any advice or questions (no matter how dumb), and who will be there to oversee everything during the rehearsal AND the wedding day? Oh my gosh. Having a facility and coordinators that you can basically trust with your life on the big day goes a LONG way. Not once was I worried. They were on-point. They also have a tremendous relationship with the companies on their preferred vendors list (which is extensive). My wedding was perfect, and it had a LOT to do with the staff at the Wadsworth (and again, you can't beat the location).

    Gorgeous and customizable venue!! Beautiful mansion that is more work than typical package deal wedding venues as you get to choose all of the specific vendors that you'd like to work with to make your wedding truly yours! Our wedding was AMAZING and totally us thanks to the Wadsworth. The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful throughout the process- Thanks!!

    The most beautiful venue in Connecticut! I may be biased because I had my wedding there :) The staff went above and beyond and the mansion and grounds are breath taking. I was a little nervous about having 2 seperate dining rooms but this ended up being a positive. We had a tent for the dj, bar and dancing. It got everyone out of their seats into the party.

    The Wadsworth Mansion is a gorgeous location for any reception and ceremony. The staff was wonderful to work with and sent us a nice letter after the wedding congratulating us and thanking us for choosing the mansion. Overall is was a wonderful venue.

    The Wadsworth is such a beautiful place to get married! We got married there last June, with our ceremony being in the tennis pavilion. It was so beautiful, with blooming rose bushes almost completely surrounding the ceremony space. We had dinner in the ballrooms, with dancing and cocktail hour out on the patio. All of our guests kept telling us they felt like they were in the Great Gatsby. The staff at the Wadsworth are very helpful as well, and were always there to answer questions as they came up. In the end I wouldn't have gotten married anywhere else, and I know my husband feels the same.

    We looked at dozens of different wedding venues before deciding on the Wadsworth Mansion. It is an absolutely stunning estate, and perfect for a larger wedding of 150 to 200 people. I was impressed with how quickly the staff responded to our phone calls and e-mails. They were helpful throughout the process.

    The only thing to keep in mind if you have an event here is that it is a lot of work. You have to buy or rent your own tablecloths, silverware, plates, catering, liquor, etc. The end result is that you have a memorable wedding that is more personalized than a hotel or wedding hall. But it's also much more time consuming.

    We received many compliments on the Wadsworth Mansion. Our guests were blown away by the expansive, lush grounds and the mansion's architecture. It was like no other venue we'd seen. I'd highly recommend considering it if you're planning a wedding in Connecticut.

    Stunning Venue

    We had our wedding at Wadsworth on July 9, a Friday evening. At first I was hesitant of having our wedding at the estate, due to how popular the venue is. There was not an ounce of hesitation after our first tour. The venue is absolutely INCREDIBLE! The team that works with you to make sure your day is going to go smoothly are all the best. We worked with Megan and Catie who were both wonderful! Catie was with us the whole time throughout the day making sure things stayed on schedule and worked with me in perfecting our floor plans and timeline, etc.

    I can't recommend this venue enough, it is truly a magical place!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Thank you so much for the love and kind words, Olivia! We were honored to host you here and loved every detail of your wedding. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!

    Beautiful!

    The Wadsworth Mansion speaks for itself. The venue matched our vision perfectly - classic & elegant. The staff provided great recommendations on vendors for our wedding, and were prompt in answering our questions. Our photos came out so amazing the mansion provides such a beautiful backdrop! Highly recommend.

    I just had my wedding here on June 9th of 2018 and all I can say is that this venue was literally everything I ever wanted and needed. The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL and very little needed to be added (nothing would have worked too!) for decorating, truly a beautiful property with everything you would need and they also have a few easy backup plans for a rainy day too! I worked mostly with Jessica, the Director of Events, and she was amazing! She answered all my (annoying) emails right away and was always so pleasant to chat with. She was very clear on all her answers and was very willing to work with me on anything I wanted to change about our plans. They had someone with me the entire day of to help coordinate and maintain the flow of the day which was a dream because I was so distracted there is no way I could have done this without them. Thank you for making my day a dream!

    We had our wedding here a couple of weeks ago and couldn't be happier. Everyone we worked with at the Mansion were wonderful. Very helpful and knowledgable, and the place itself is GORGEOUS. I thought it was a little pricy, but worth it. I got married on a rainy, cloudy day, and it was STILL absolutely beautiful. A unique venue with lots of class!

    The Wadsworth Mansion is absolutely beautiful. All of my guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was at our wedding. The staff is so easy to contact and willing to accomodate you in any way they can. The only issue that I had was that you only get the place for 8 hours, which includes hours of set up and at least an hour for clean up. I wish it could have been an entire day rental for the amount of money that you pay. Other than that, this is the perfect place to get married!

    If you're looking for a beautiful, relatively affordable wedding venue in CT, I highly recommend the Wadsworth Mansion! The venue is spacious and private, and the grounds are gorgeous. Jessica and Deborah are helpful and professional, and very easy to work with. The two dining rooms worked out nicely - we put our friends in one room and family/family friends in the other. It made it a little bit more complicated for toasts/cake cutting/first dance, but it was totally fine. We had the most amazing night; I can't imagine getting married anywhere else!

    Beautiful, grand, and flexile venue

    Wadsworth Mansion is stunning in any time of year and was a beautiful venue for our wedding. Aside from the beauty and elegance of the space itself (both the mansion and the grounds), we liked the following things
    1) The flexibility especially while planning a COVID safe wedding. The mansion offered multiple outdoor ceremony sites, both indoor and outdoor tented dining options, we had a rain plan, and indoor rooms for the bride, groom, guests, grandparents, etc. Ample parking. They even revamped their indoor air circulation in response to COVID-19
    2. Responsiveness and day of coordination - came with a mansion coordinator (Catie) who communicated leading up to event, arranged site visits, and assisted the day of. She worked well with our caterer and wedding planner and made sure we got all our items at the end of the night. Worked with our vendors to meet all specs.
    3. Wedding planning templates provided by the mansion - to do guest counts, seating charts, etc
    4. Location convenient for guests coming from both the North and South
    We got so many compliments on our wedding and highly recommend this venue!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Elina! We were honored to host your celebration at the Mansion and wish you a lifetime of happiness!

    My wedding was an absolute dream come true! My husband and I visited the Wadsworth and knew right away that it was the perfect place for our June wedding, but we had no idea just how perfect it would be! The weather was questionable for my wedding but I had my heart set on having the ceremony outside in the garden. Jessica was extremely kind and accommodating! Everyone there will do everything in their power to give you exactly what you want and my wedding certainly came out better than I ever imagined! While I wasn't crazy about spending $5,500 just for the space, if you can afford it, it is totally worth it!

    I have dreamed of getting married at the Wadsworth Mansion for pretty much my entire life and recently that dream came true. The building is absolutely gorgeous but I love the surrounding grounds even more. My husband loved the venue as well when we went for a visit so the choice was very easy for us. I am so happy that we went with the mansion. The staff was very helpful; they have their own bridal show and send you a folder with all of the preferred vendors information. They also help your caterer on the day of the wedding to ensure everything runs smoothly. Our guests were very impressed with the entire wedding and I only wish we could do it all again!

    The Wadsworth Mansion was beautiful and Anne was great to work with. We had the wedding of our dreams. However—BEWARE. Know in advance that every single one of the caterers on their “recommended” list will either be horrible to work with, have disgusting food, or be incredibly overpriced. Just come to terms with the fact that you’ll have to pay the extra outside catering fee. We did, and we could not have been happier with Emily’s Catering. We recommend Emily’s to anyone doing a wedding at the Wadsworth—they were amazing (see our separate review). Even after paying the outside catering fee, they were still half the price of what the good “recommended” caterers would have charged for the same food and service. If you know this going in, you’ll love it. Otherwise, it may be an unwelcome surprise.

    The Wadsworth Mansion is a beautiful venue. My wedding ran smooth and I had no issues during the wedding. The only issue I had was they were not flexible about letting the wedding party and I arrive early to take pictures. They said 3:00pm was the earliest we could come and if we wanted to come at 2:30pm we would have to give them an extra $1000. We found this out a few days before the wedding. This was not in the contract. Unfortunately, I was not able to take as many pictures with the bridal party as I would have liked before the wedding.

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    It was our pleasure to host this bride's wedding and we are glad she enjoyed our beautiful mansion and grounds. We are sorry that the bride misunderstood our contract which states; "Customer shall have the use of the Facility for a period of nine (9) consecutive hours on the Event Date. Additional time may be reserved, subject to availability, for the additional hourly fees set forth in Section II below." We ask our customers to initial sections of the contract to be sure they have read and understood the usage of the Mansion and our fees. Our hourly rate is $750 for each additional hour so the cost would only have been $375 for the extra half hour. We sincerely hope this bride has beautiful pictures for years to come.

    The Wadsworth is timeless and beautiful. If you are looking for a Newport style wedding in Connecticut look no further. No wedding factory here!! Both the grounds and the structure are gorgeous. The staff overall was very helpful. I did however send emails to one assistant only to have another of the employees be there on my wedding day. Also, they charged me money out my deposit because the cleaners claimed they had to get glitter out of the rug. After several phone calls to the director the money was refunded. Other than that everything was great.

    The Wadsworth staff was great, and so easy to work with. They regularly helped me with what i needed to do and came up with a lot of helpful ideas. The place was beautiful and really, i can't think of anything bad to say. The only downside was the price, however, the money from events goes to the restoration & upkeep of the building and so it's a good cause.

    I could not have asked for a more stunning location to have both my ceremony and reception. Our wedding guests could not stop commenting about how gorgeous the grounds and mansion were. We were married in the rose garden outside with beautiful pink hydrangeas in bloom. We had cocktails outdoors on a beuatiful fall day and the guests loved that there were a lot of places to go in the mansion. You rent the mansion out for a 8-9 hour period and have the run of the place. This is nice because there 2 dining rooms to lounge in, a spearate bar area, and plenty of places for the dance floor. At first we were nervous about having 2 dining rooms but it worked out great- our more "boisterous" guests were in one and the other guests in the other. It was the best day of my life and I am so happy I chose the Wadsworth Mansion!

    Very beautiful venue, it is the staff that unfortunately were very disappointing. If you book, make sure it is in your contract to have Jessica there the night of your wedding. She is lovely to work with, but unfortunately was not who we had the night of our wedding.

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    We are sorry that Kali’s and her mom’s experience was not what they expected as it is our intention to send our families away elated and delighted with their Wadsworth Mansion wedding. We were shocked when after the wedding we were told that things were dissatisfying, especially since hugs were given at the end of the night. How does one’s opinion change between midnight and morning?
    As reviews are intended to be helpful to a person looking for wedding vendors, perhaps this forum can shed some light on this situation and prevent any other disappointments. Kali planned her wedding. Her mother had little participation in the Mansion planning process and was unfamiliar with our contract and responsibilities of the vendors that had been hired to make Kali’s day special. Additionally, the mother had no idea what the role of the Event Supervisor working the event was. Blame fell to her each time some misconception manifested. Lastly, in the attempt to prevent the bride from being accessed additional charges, the Event Supervisor was perceived as being inhospitable. Following this wedding we modified our policies with florists and pyro technicians to prevent further misunderstandings, however we cannot guarantee who is going to work a wedding.

    The mansion is a magical place to have the wedding of your dreams. It was valentine's day 2013 when my fiancé and I toured the mansion and decided that this would be our future venue. Anne was great to work with. About a month prior to the wedding I called to schedule a rehearsal, I was told by Deborah, that I did not need one because there would be staff along the way to guide the bridal party to where they needed to be. Fast forward to the wedding we wish we had scheduled a rehearsal. I had also made a phone call asking to extend the hours by purchasing additional time. I was told by Jessica that I should consider moving the party to a hotel instead of extending the hours. She heard the frustration in my voice and immediately Deborah called back to apologize and tell me that I could purchase additional time. At that point we felt they didn't want us to be there or didn’t want to deal with us any longer than they had to. Dare I ask, were they afraid of having too many colored folks at their venue? Was my money not good enough? During that same conversation she repeatedly told me I was over the limit and needed to rent a tent. I told her that when I first spoke to Anne she had laid out a floor plan that would accommodate the number of guests I had. Deborah's reply was that her employees knew better than to say that. She then found the file that contained the exact information I gave her but she never apologized. The day of the wedding arrives, Jessica who was supposed to make sure things ran smoothly was hardly seen. She said she was too busy. She was rude to our vendors and guests. When we called to complain, we asked for a reason why things happened the way they did. Ofcourse, Deborah was quick to refer us to their rules and regulations and explain how they are not a coordinating company, but when you first meet with them they tell you how they are there every step of the way to help you with anything. WE STILL MADE OUR WEDDING DAY MAGICAL WITH OUR LOVE!!!!!

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    We strive to create beautiful and memorable weddings for our brides and grooms. It is our pleasure to share this historic mansion with couples and help them plan the day of their dreams. We are truly sorry that we failed to give this couple the perfect day and that they thought it was personal. From the complaints it is obvious that we did not recognize what this couple wanted and that we were not effective communicators. As we don’t want any bride and groom to be disappointed on their wedding day we have modified some of our practices to ensure that this never happens again. We are at pleased that you were still able to make the day magical with your love and that your guests enjoyed themselves.

    Honestly - If you are booking this venue for a "wedding", get ready for bunch of "HIDDEN CHARGES".

    They are eager to fool you and will NOT mention anything ahead of time. We paid around $3500- $4000 in hidden charges ( like wait staff fees,linens,cutlery,cleaning,chairs,staff etc. ) . Also, never expect a security deposit back in full, not because you did any damages, they have other excuses to make like " our supervisor stayed 1/2 hr late after event, so we have to charge for that " ...really ??!! Without any reason, if Wadsworth supervisor stays in the mansion, we (customers) have to pay for it ??!! yes, thats what my friend paid for- Purely fraud. It makes sense, if we made mess or some reason supervisor waiting after event - just to make extra bucks, they fool you.

    Advise : Gorgeous venue but worst management !!

    ** Please Stay away from this venue for weddings or any other occasions , HEFTY HIDDEN CHARGES***

    Wadsworth Mansion's reply:

    Wadsworth Mansion is a historic property that may be rented for weddings, not an all-inclusive banquet facility. Renters are responsible for hiring a caterer from our list. Information about renting the Mansion is on our website, is presented in tours, and is stated in our Facility Use Agreement. All Mansion obligations, responsibilities of the renters, and contractual documents were reviewed with Nitin as part of his tour and at a second meeting prior to the contact signing.
    Instead of hiring one of our Approved Caterers, Nitin hired two restaurants to provide food. Both restaurant owners told Nitin they did not provide wait staff, linens, cutlery, or any of the front of the house services that our caterers provide. To assist, we recommended a rental company to provide the items that the restaurants did not supply and a staffing service familiar with Indian Weddings. There were six event professionals trying to educate Nitin about hosting a wedding and he refused to listen to anyone putting the event in jeopardy. The groom was unwilling to acknowledge that he needed to hire staff to set the dining rooms and buffet, clear the tables and attend to needs of his guests. He argued with the staffing company about staffing levels as well time requirements. Days before the wedding he reluctantly agreed to secure rentals and staffing.
    Nitin was charged for extra usage of the Mansion because his vendors need extra time at the conclusion of the event.
    There was no fraud, only a contract signer that disregarded the contract, and was unwilling to spend what was required to have a successful wedding. As a result of the challenges we faced, we no long will allow a caterer to work at the Mansion who can not provide staffing and rentals.
    Reviews are supposed to be helpful. We are more than happy to share sample Wadsworth Mansion wedding budgets with future couples.
