Bring your dream wedding to life at the beautiful and historic Hill-Stead Museum.

For your special day, the estate offers stunning indoor and outdoor spaces to accommodate intimate gatherings, luxurious celebrations, and everything in between. Its scenic outdoor venues include the majestic West Lawn and Veranda, which boasts stunning views of the Litchfield Hills; the charming Grass Court, the former grass tennis court surrounded with handcrafted stone walls and views of the Colonial Revival home; and the magical Sunken Garden, a Beatrix Farrand-designed one-acre perennial garden that blooms from early spring through autumn. Inside, the elegant Pope Board Room can be used to host an intimate party or as a spacious bridal dressing room, the Glass Room offers stunning views of the estate and the Arts and Crafts-style wood paneled Makeshift Theater offers a unique setting with a rustic feel for a year round event. With abundant historic charm and spectacular event spaces, the Hill-Stead Museum is the perfect place to host your upcoming wedding ceremony and reception!
