The moment I stepped foot on the estate I knew I wanted to get married at the Wadsworth Mansion. It fit with my desire for a "casually elegant" wedding. The cost of the venue included only the location, and left room for my husband and I to p...lan every detail. From the food, to name cards, table numbers, music, lighting, flowers, linens, chairs, cake, lawn games...you name it, we picked it with lots of thought. If you want a wedding where everything is done for you (obviously the less stressful choice), this is probably not the venue for you. Anne was there, then Jessica, to hep coordinate our day and help make sure things went smoothly. We also hired a coordinator with our catering company because we were not sure how involved the Wadsworth staff would be. Of course there were little things here and there that were forgotten (our bocce set not put out, glow sticks not handed out) but these little things are to be expected to a certain extent. We held our ceremony at the tennis pavilion behind the mansion and it provided such an intimate setting in contrast to the vast lawn which would be the other option. I highly recommend using the tennis pavilion for the ceremony. Our florist took my vision and ran with it! And cocktail hour was ready on the patio immediately following the ceremony. I couldn't have asked for a better venue to hold my wedding. The one thing I am sad about is that we had to end at 11pm on the dot, due to the noise ordinance in Middletown. Keep this in mind if you are having your dancing outside. You can check out pictures from the wedding on instagram at #awugahwedding .
