Lounsbury House

Lounsbury House is a meticulously restored 1896 mansion in Ridgefield, Connecticut, built by former Governor Phineas C. Lounsbury. This national historic site operates as a non-profit, maintained by a dedicated board of directors, staff, and volunteers who preserve its original architectural details for the community's benefit. The mansion features white wainscoting throughout, floral wallpaper, neutral-colored walls, glittering chandeliers, and delicately designed period furniture restored to their original grandeur. The grand foyer, conference room, and meeting room provide elegant interior spaces. Multiple get-ready rooms are available for wedding parties to relax and prepare. Outside, the flawlessly landscaped gardens include a gazebo, pergola, and fountain set within manicured grounds. The charming wrap-around porch provides space for cocktail hour, while Grecian columns add stately character to the facade. The estate can accommodate seated events of up to 150 guests or host smaller, intimate gatherings like bridal showers and garden brunches. The venue's event specialists provide guidance throughout the planning process. Couples have the flexibility to hold ceremonies and receptions either inside the historic mansion or outdoors in the romantic garden setting, creating multiple configuration options for their celebration.
