Weddings and Receptions at the Cornucopia at Oldfield

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.  Click here to learn more about Cornucopia at Oldfield Studios.
