Situated on a picturesque New Haven, CT, hilltop, The Estate is a luxury wedding venue for those with the most elegant and discerning taste. When you choose to celebrate your special occasion on these expansive grounds, the whole of The Estate is exclusively yours, from the charming Victorian gazebo near its entrance to the lush vineyard at its edge.
When you enter the mansion at The Estate, you will experience a transformed interior, where contemporary decorative touches sparkle in the light through classic, arched windows, perfectly complementing the structure’s history. Venturing outdoors, you will be greeted by an exterior steeped in the property’s gothic Victorian revival roots—graceful carvings framing gables and soaring columns that further the mansion’s stately appeal. Open year-round, The Estate can host up to 150 guests, provides on-site parking, is fully heated and air-conditioned, and is handicap accessible. Your wedding party is also welcome to use the wedding suites on the day of your event. Suite amenities include showers, dressing rooms, sitting rooms, refreshment stations, a hair and makeup room, and more.
As you plan your event, a staff member will be happy to help you along the way and can provide knowledge on how to best host a gorgeous wedding at The Estate. They can also offer a preferred vendor list for catering, flowers, and entertainment, as well as lodging options for your loved ones.
