About this vendor

The Gwyn Careg Inn is an elegant historic wedding venue located in Pomfret Center, Connecticut. Nestled upon 14 acres of manicured lawn and gardens, this colonial revival mansion is ideal for outdoor ceremonies and tented receptions.

Facilities and Capacity

Located between Boston and New York, The Gwyn Careg Inn is a wonderful option for a weekend wedding, sitting less than an hour from Hartford and Providence. For those venturing from further afield, this destination wedding venue can be easily accessed from Bradley International Airport, TF Green Airport, and Logan Airport. First built in 1761, its grounds possess a distinctive aesthetic and ambiance from a time gone by. Walking through its perennial gardens, its mature grounds filled with century-old rhododendrons, one feels a sensation of stepping back in time. These enclosed Spanish gardens are the favored setting for hosting romantic ceremonies, the tiered landscape allowing for multiple uses and setups. After the vows are exchanged and the wedding portraits captured, the plush surroundings can give way to a tented reception for up to 250 guests. The inn can also host indoor celebrations for 120 or less while offering comfortable accommodations for weekend retreats.

Services Offered

The Gwyn Careg Inn caters to only one wedding per weekend, providing couples with absolute privacy for their most special occasion. All guest rooms are made available to the wedding guests alone, ensuring flexibility and exclusivity. This welcoming venue encourages a personal touch, from the décor to the wedding menu. You are free to customize your wedding feast as you please, with sophisticated sit-down meals, hors d’oeuvres, and dinner stations all available. The courteous staff will be at hand from the cocktail hour to dessert, ensuring your day receives the care and attention it deserves.
