Inside Scoop

Wadsworth brides just can't get enough of the estate... so much so that they make up over half of mansion staff! Not only do they know the property intimately, but can speak from personal experience with a client's perspective.

Venue Features
The scene:

Quietly grand, our long driveway transports guests to a place that feels far, far away from the tempo of the outside world. As the stately white columns of the mansion come into view through the estate's trees, it is easy to feel peaceful and thrilled all at once. The Italianate facade of the building is a majestic background for ceremonies on our massive back lawn or mingling and merriment on our terrace.

Inside, guests seated under dimly lit chandeliers will feast on a delicious menu created by you and your caterers. The ballrooms are individually decorated and have working fireplaces. Each ballroom boasts an intimacy that will make you and your guests feel at home.

Design:

Considered to be one of the most beautiful properties in Connecticut, The Wadsworth Mansion at Long Hill Estate is the quintessential country estate exemplifying the Gilded-Age and the perfect setting for an elegant affair.

Restored in 1999 to its original grandeur, this 20th century Beaux Arts style mansion is framed by formal landscaping and nestled on 103 acres of wooded park lands in the rolling hills of the Connecticut River Valley. The mansion design boasts symmetry, highly prized in the era of its construction, with a grand foyer and loggia connecting its two ballrooms. Guests will marvel at the fluidity of the interior and exterior spaces, making it ideal for intimate gatherings or larger affairs.

Standout venue features:

The mansion’s ballrooms with marble fireplaces and coffered ceilings can comfortably accommodate up to two hundred guests for a formal sit down dinner and larger numbers for an informal cocktail reception. The loggia, a sun drenched room with vaulted ceilings and French doors, opens onto a grand patio. Overlooking a seven hundred foot vista, the patio is perfect for entertaining during cocktail hour and dancing beneath the stars. The tennis pavilion and rose trellis provide an intimate setting for an outdoor ceremony.

We want each event to be unique therefore we host only one per day, so you can choose which hours work best for you and determine how you would like to use the space. The mansion is ideal for creating customized weddings and events for the discerning host or hostess, with an extensive list of caterers, and unlimited suggestions for decor and ambiance. All vendors are selected a la carte by the host, which enables each event to be solidly unique.
Extra perks:
Included in the rental price, we provide all of the tables, chairs, and dance floor, including the outdoor tables and ceremony chairs if you would like to have your ceremony on site. There is no additional fee to hold your ceremony at the Mansion. Our Event Supervisor will provide day-of coordination to ensure a smooth and fluid event.
