The Wadsworth Mansion at Long Hill — Attraction in Middletown

As hospitality and communications professionals, we have high standards for service, attention to detail, and the overall guest experience—and the Wadsworth Mansion exceeded every one of them.

From the breathtaking grounds to the timeless elegance of the mansion, every element of this venue was flawless. The setting provided the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and reception, with lush gardens and grand architecture that wowed our guests and made for incredible memories and photographs.

What sets the Wadsworth Mansion apart is its beauty and the exceptional, genuine service its team offers. The team, led by the lovely and wonderful Jessica, went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of every step of the way. From the initial planning stages to the final moments of the big day, we felt entirely supported. Jessica’s warmth, professionalism, and meticulous attention to detail made all the difference. She seamlessly guided us through the rehearsal, expertly timed aspects of the day, and even came to my rescue with eyelash glue when I discovered the one in my emergency kit was missing! Her genuine care made us feel relaxed and valued, ensuring the day unfolded ideally.

Another standout feature is that the Wadsworth Mansion is a not-for-profit property, which speaks to the heart and dedication behind the venue. They only take one booking per day, so we had the entire estate to ourselves, giving us the peace of mind that our wedding was their sole focus. This exclusivity allowed for a flawlessly executed day, without the distraction of other events happening on-site.

The mansion itself is stunning, combining historic charm with beautifully maintained grounds. The booking came with inclusions, which made the planning process even smoother and lightened the load of coordination required. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was!

If you seek a venue offering high-quality service, true exclusivity, and a touch of historic New England magic, we cannot recommend the Wadsworth Mansion more highly. As professionals with discerning tastes, we could not imagine a more perfect place to begin this new chapter of our lives.

Thank you, Wadsworth Mansion, for making our wedding day an exceptionally magical experience! Your outstanding service, attention to detail, and genuine care made our day extraordinary. We’re so fortunate to have had you be such an important part of our celebration. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of this unforgettable time...

Weeks later, we're still absolutely gushing over the Mansion! It was the perfect venue for our wedding. They had it all, from phenomenal staff to luxurious facilities, not to mention the stunning views. We had the pleasure of working with Alexandra(Alex) we could not have asked for a better person! Alex knew all of our family members and bridal party’s names, and was extremely personable. She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of all night. She brought me a snack before the ceremony and continuously brought me my water all day and night (without me asking)They truly make you feel like a VIP throughout your entire day and their top notch team(along with our caterer David Alan) ensured that everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. In the early stages of planning we worked with Jessica Hess and she is extremely helpful and communicative. The mansion truly felt like home for the day. We hosted our ceremony on the vista , cocktail hour was on the terrace, and we had dinner in the East ballroom. Guests were in awe of the estate (we also lucked out with absolutely perfect weather), and how every detail was perfectly executed. Our special day was truly a dream and felt like it was out of a movie! We could not recommend the Wadsworth Mansion enough, and can't wait to return for future celebrations. It's definitely well-worth the investment and would 12/10 recommend it to host you’re your special day!

The most beautiful venue, EVER!

WOW- where do we even begin! We got married here on 6/10/23, and could not be happier with our experience.

First and foremost, the mansion is absolutely stunning beyond words. We fell in love with it from the moment we saw it, and immediately knew it was "the one".

We got married in the rose garden, had our cocktail hour on the patio, and dined in both dining rooms plus the middle (head table was here), and all areas were "dream-like". Initially, we were concerned that having split up dining would break up the party, but it did anything but that! We absolutely LOVED having the dining area separate from the "party" area. Our guests raved about the beauty of all areas at Wadsworth.

Everything was seamless from the beginning of our planning process (almost 2 years ago). We had the pleasure of being assigned Alexandra (Alex) Shields as our event coordinator in the months leading up to our wedding. She is THE BEST. She answered my never-ending emails, constantly offered a phone call if needed, and ensured absolutely everything went smoothly on our big day. She seamlessly coordinated all of our vendors an ensured all of our details were perfectly set up. She even dealt with a mini bride meltdown week of :). Night of, anytime we were almost done with a drink, Alex seemed to be right there with another which was greatly appreciated.

We recommend the mansion 1,000x. There truly is not a more beautiful venue out there. It is the most romantic, picturesque setting that you can completely make your own with its' many spaces to hold different parts of the wedding. We loved being able to hand-select all of our vendors (with help from Wadsworth's recommendations). It was a picture perfect day that we will...
