The Estate

The Estate is a historic wedding venue set on 12 serene acres in New Haven, Connecticut. The restored 1804 mansion, with centuries of character, provides an exceptional setting for celebrations. The property is exclusively available to couples for their wedding day, offering complete privacy and flexibility. The historic mansion accommodates cocktail hours and intimate indoor receptions for up to 150 guests, featuring elegant parlors, a vintage-meets-modern bar, and two private wedding suites equipped with showers, dressing rooms, sitting rooms, refreshment stations, and a hair and makeup room. Outdoors, a sailcloth tent seats up to 200 guests for dinner and dancing beneath soaring peaks and bistro lighting. Ceremonies typically take place on the Great Lawn or at the edge of the vineyard. The grounds include a Victorian gazebo, bocce court, fire pit, covered pergola, bluestone terrace, and the century-old Pub House. The venue is open year-round, fully heated and air-conditioned, handicap accessible, and provides on-site parking. A dedicated staff member assists with planning and provides a preferred vendor list for catering, flowers, entertainment, and lodging options.
