About this venue

Whimsical & magical weddings happen here at Wickham Park! It all begins when you enter the 280-acre Park, you immediately leave the day behind as you are immersed in rolling green hills, gorgeous gardens, and two unique venues with different vibes. The rustic log cabin, within a quarter acre of gorgeous gardens with a spectacular skyline view of Hartford an outdoor marquee reception tent; the Cabin at Hilltop Garden. The second venue: The intimate Emerald Room of the Irish Garden~ equally stunning, which is an elegant stone building with cathedral wood ceilings, with its own half-acre stunning garden surrounded by tall Emerald bushes, a 6' stone wall & wrought iron fencing, complete with a private dressing room! Come visit, pictures, although beautiful do NOT do the Park justice!

      Best Venue Ever ️

      From the moment we started planning from out of state, the team at Wickham Park made us feel confident in our choice. We worked directly with Ms Diana and she was truly wonderful. Even though we only visited the venue twice before our wedding day, her responsive communication and friendly approach kept us in the loop every step of the way. The grounds were absolutely stunning – we fell in love with the space during a snowy visit and took a chance on it, which totally paid off. On the big day, having their planner there was a game changer. She coordinated with all of our vendors and handled the details so that we could actually enjoy ourselves. The venue itself is so well maintained and beautiful, and the entire team made sure everything ran smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

      Wedding at Wickham Park

      Wickham Park was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first spoke with Diana, the event coordinator, we felt welcomed and at ease. She was friendly, warm, and personable, making the planning process so easy. The venue itself is absolutely stunning - charming, rustic, and elegant all at once. Our guests were in awe of the beautiful, romantic setting, and we couldn't have asked for a more picture-perfect backdrop for our special day. We are so grateful to the Wickham Park team for helping make our wedding dreams come true.

      Perfect Location

      The team was amazing to work with. Always communicating what is going on and what will happen next. The day of the weather was terrible rain and winds. Moving everything inside 3 hours before we started messed nothing up.

      Lizzy~ You were an absolute pleasure to work with! Thank you kindly for your review! My best~ Diana

      Beautiful Venue & Wonderful to work with!

      Pam and everyone at Wickham Park are amazing to work with! We have been catering weddings at Wickham Park for many years and have always been so welcomed by everyone there. The grounds of the park are impeccable and make such a beautiful backdrop for weddings. Pam makes the coordination of the pre wedding planning so easy for not only the Wedding Couple but also for us as the caterer! We highly recommend this venue!

    Never more than just yours!
    There's no minimum guest count just a maximum of 150 at Cabin at Hilltop Garden site. 98 at Emerald Room of the Irish Garden site.
    Yes! but on a leash and not allowed to go inside the building. We strongly suggest an exit plan, after a certain point, they are not enjoying the day.
    Both sites, you don't need to do much (they are pretty gorgeous) , but you are welcome to add your own touch, any flames must be enclosed. Rope lighting provided on exterior structures to enjoy the gardens well into the night. Unfortunately flower petals are not allowed, much too much work to remove from the site, (the boxwood bushes are tough to clear).
    Only at the Emerald Room, a 10' x 20' lounge with private lavatory, closet, couch, chair, lovely vanity (think pics!), a place to pre-party and to refresh for you and your spouse.
    As we are located on 280 acres of woodlands we don't know allow sparklers, fog machines or dry ice. We DO allow paper lanterns!
    We assign a Venue Manager to your day who preps the site, cleans before and after and is on hand always in case needed. A park ranger is also assigned for security. Your Event Manager is "with you" from inquiry to the day of and anytime you need her with questions, etc. However, neither are wedding planners
    Cabin at Hilltop Garden- back up plan is marrying under the 30' x 60' dining tent with guests at their tables or in front of the fireplace and that depends on how many guests are in attendance. The Emerald Room of the Irish Garden, backup plan is renting our 20' x 30' tent for the Oriental Garden next door for $400 for the outdoor experience or inside in front of your sweetheart table with guests at their tables.
