Cornucopia at Oldfield provides the perfect
setting for weddings and parties of up to 175 people during
the spring, summer and fall seasons. There are 2 ½ acres of
rolling lawns, a beautiful
private pool
setting, flower and water
gardens, a gazebo and a large patio. These amenities
coupled with a
historic house that is listed on the
National Register of Historic
Places
and located within Southbury’s historic district
provide the perfect environment for a very special day or
weekend.
To preserve
our
property's natural beauty it is
only available for a select
number of events annually. |

In
addition to the wedding and the reception, the Cornucopia
can also be the site for a shower rehearsal dinner party or a
farewell breakfast.
Other ideas for using
the grounds and the building are for events include business
receptions, annual meetings, Holiday parties, and teas.
Consider having your
old family photos of the bride and groom as they were
growing up on a DVD with their
favorite music to share with the wedding guests.
