Asta and Dan
We chose Tarrywile Mansion for our wedding because we were eager to find a venue in the Danbury area. Interestingly, our journey began with hiking the beautiful trails in the park, which led us to discover the stunning mansion. After learning that Tarrywile is a municipally owned park, we felt even more motivated to support such a cherished community resource, especially considering the significant portion of our wedding budget that would go toward the venue.
From the moment we spoke with Loraine and toured the space, we knew Tarrywile was the perfect match for our vision. We wanted our wedding to feel like a casually elegant dinner party, and the mansion captured that essence seamlessly. Having already explored the property, we were confident that the fall scenery would provide a breathtaking backdrop for our celebration, especially for our out-of-town guests.

We recently celebrated our wedding at Tarrywile, and we can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, Loraine welcomed us with such kindness and attentiveness that it felt like we were family. Her enthusiasm for our vision made the experience even more special. We were looking for an intimate venue, and Tarrywile was just perfect. The space allowed our guests to mingle comfortably without feeling crowded, and the charm of the mansion meant we didn’t need many decorations; the venue was stunning on its own. We still receive compliments from friends and family about how beautiful everything was! What impressed us most was how seamless everything was. There were no surprises; everything was organized and ready, allowing us to drop off our belongings the night before for efficiency. The whole day ran smoothly, which was such a relief. We are delighted to have chosen Tarrywile as our wedding venue. It was the perfect fit for us, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone planning an event. We would love to work with Tarrywile again in the future!

Tarrywile is an absolutely beautiful venue! We fell in love with the grounds before touring the mansion, but once we went inside, we knew this was the place for us. Loraine was so easy to work with and her enthusiasm about Tarrywile is contagious. The mansion is gorgeous and being able to have indoor and outdoor options for the ceremony and reception was ideal. Though we had hoped for an outdoor wedding, cold and rain forced our late April wedding indoors, where we were able to have an amazing ceremony inside the conservatory. Our guests loved how cozy the rooms felt and we had a wonderful experience there. Highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of hosting our 2022 holiday party at the beautiful Tarrywile Mansion in Danbury, CT. The entire planning process with Loraine at the mansion was seamless, she executed our vision perfectly. The set-up for our event was stunning. The mansion is an incredible venue; I recommend taking a tour of the different rooms; it puts one in the mind of what it was like to live at the height of that era. I recommend it to anyone who seeking a unique event experience at an amazing price. We are looking forward to our next function at Tarrywile Mansion. A great time was had by all!

Thank you for all you did to make Jonathan and Ashley‘s wedding a beautiful event. You were a joy to work with, and so knowledgeable. The wedding was amazing, and the venue looked spectacular. Each and every guest remarked how much fun they had and how the layout of the mansion lent itself to their enjoyment. Of course, it helped that we had a beautiful day, so the cocktail hour on the porch was lovely. I will most certainly recommend Tarrywile Mansion to anyone I know who is looking for a venue for a special occasion. Thank you again for all your help.

We were absolutely thrilled to celebrate our wedding at Tarrywile Mansion in December. We were lucky the mansion was dusted with fresh white snow the day before our wedding, and we could not have been happier with the seasonal décor that made the whole day feel festive and fun. The grounds of the park are stunning, and we enjoyed having our dog, Joey, join us for outdoor photos before the ceremony. The afternoon winter light in the conservatory was the perfect backdrop for our ceremony, and we had a blast dancing to the band in the main hall. Mansion staff was professional, responsive, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone hosting a wedding or event.

When our daughter and her fiance (now husband) discussed their wedding plans, there were two things they agreed on immediately, the food and venue. Tarrywile Park was the site of their first date in 2012, and it has remained a special place in their hearts. Over the 18-month-long journey to the wedding date, the staff of Tarrywile was wonderful to work with. Loraine, the event coordinator, is a delight. She was very responsive, patient, and always took the time to thoroughly answer the many questions we had. During the week before the wedding, Loraine was a source of calm in a chaotic situation when the bride and groom contracted Covid. She worked with the day-of coordinator to change seating plans and ensure that everything would go smoothly. The venue itself, on the National Register of Historic Places, is a lovely, intimate setting for a ceremony and reception, and the grounds are meticulously maintained. Surrounded by a 722-acre public park, Tarrywile is the perfect place for a romantic wedding.

I just wanted to send you a note to let you know how grateful we are for your care in setting up our Father's funeral event at Tarrywile. It was the type of memorial we could all be proud of. It was such a unique and special service. My Dad loved old Mansions and when I remembered that Tarrywile offered memorial services I knew it was the right place. The greenhouse attachment was so beautiful and perfect since our Dad loved to care for his garden and plants, and the antique books in the bookcase suited his love for reading. The caterers and florist you recommended set up very tasty food and beautiful flowers and made it so we could just focus on our memories and share them with our Dads friends. I'm so glad we could do this here, having a worthy service for our Dad meant so much to us, and our day for our Dad at Tarrywile felt like it was meant to be. Thank you so much for everything.

We hosted our wedding, technically our first-year anniversary celebration, at Tarrywile Mansion on Sunday, October 10th, 2021. It was originally scheduled for the same weekend the year before, and the folks at Tarrywile were incredibly understanding and helpful about rescheduling, given pandemic concerns. Despite the damp, chilly weather, the day was perfect. We opted for Tarrywile's catering recommendations and had a wonderful experience with Carriage House Caterers, who also agreed to reschedule for no extra cost and were incredible to work with. Set up was smooth and everything was taken care of by the venue and the catering team. We had a brief ceremony, renewing our vows under the grape arbor. Cocktails followed on the veranda, complete with hot tea to warm up our guests. We then enjoyed dinner and dancing under the tent. The entire occasion exceeded our expectations, and we're so glad we decided to have our wedding at Tarrywile.

This venue is an unbelievable hidden treasure! Due to the recent pandemic, my husband and I had to rearrange our wedding day plans three times... We ended up finding Tarrywile during one of our searches online and they had our wedding date available (09/26/2020). The space is huge and the price is unreal for what you receive. There are endless possibilities with how and where to set up your ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour, and the opportunity for beautiful pictures is endless inside and out. There is also a beautiful space upstairs for the girls and guys to get ready. With all of the COVID precautions we had 26 guests so we decided to do everything on the Veranda with cocktail-style tables and a live band and I couldn't have asked for more, it was so intimate and romantic. Our day was truly amazing and I cannot highlight this venue enough. I will mention it is more for a couple looking for a historical/vintage look so if you are into more of a modern style I couldn't see it as an option. I worked with Ann-Marie and she was very detailed and helpful in all aspects. She was always available for meetings and answered any questions I had right up until the day of the wedding. If you’re in search of a COVID wedding spot this honestly checked off all the boxes! It was safe, beautiful, and spacious.

I would highly recommend the Tarrywile Mansion for hosting your next special event. We rented the venue for my baby shower in the Fall of 2019 and everything was perfect. The historic mansion was a beautiful backdrop for the event and the size and flow of the rooms worked great for the party. Anne-Marie did a terrific job communicating and coordinating throughout the entire planning process. We used Two Steps Ciao! Catering from the approved vendor list and they also did a fantastic job with the food. Thank you for helping to provide such a special day that we will remember forever!

We loved having our wedding at Tarrywile! We got very lucky and had a beautiful day, so we loved the flexibility to spend time both inside the mansion and outside. We had our ceremony by the gazebo, which looked beautiful in May. Later on, we took pictures in the grounds and at the adjacent park, which was a great opportunity. The staff at Tarrywile was very helpful and accommodating, and allowed us to visit on multiple occasions prior to the wedding day. The day was absolutely perfect and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. We would unhesitatingly recommend a wedding at Tarrywile.

Outstanding romantic, historic venue!
If we had to do it over again, we’d choose Tarrywile over and over again. From start to finish we were so pleased with the service and responsiveness of Anne-Marie, the event coordinator for the venue. The venue was helpful in the planning process in terms of recommending vendors and floor plan options but also allowed us the freedom to craft the wedding of our dreams. We had wanted our wedding to feel warm and inviting like a house party, with “our” house being an amazing mansion, and it delivered. They allowed us to bring our vision to life! We also had our ceremony at the mansion under the grape arbor and lawn games between the arbor and the mansion. It was truly a dream come true. Thank you so much, Anne-Marie. Your flexibility, care, and attention is greatly appreciated and we recommend this location to any couple looking for a romantic and unique experience. I know our guests will be talking about it for years to come!

Having our wedding at Tarrywile Park & Mansion was everything that we dreamt. The grounds were beautiful with multiple areas to hold the ceremony including under an arbor-way, at the gazebo or inside under the chandelier in the conservatory. The Mansion was perfect for our reception and provided a nice transition for our guests by having reception and ceremony at the same venue. The veranda was very roomy for cocktail hour while our caterer set everything up inside and the veranda continued to get plenty of use throughout the night. The bride and groom suites were also a nice touch where the wedding party can get ready as well as escape from the crowd to get a little breathing room. The grounds are also perfect for engagement photos and wedding photos since there are many landscape elements, plantings as well as a cliff which provides a nice backdrop for any photo. Overall this venue was perfect and really helped our dream wedding come true.

Awesome Venue.
My husband and I decided to have a very small wedding and decided to plan it all within 2 months. Anne-Marie at Tarrywile Mansion was such a joy to work with. She was very responsive to my emails and all the changes I had to make leading up to the day of our ceremony. The mansion itself is absolutely stunning, so many rooms and ideas to make your day so special. To be able to use almost every room, the deck and grounds made my day awesome. Even though it was too wet outside to take pictures on the grounds, the deck outside served very well. I loved this venue for our wedding and received so many compliments!!

Amazing value for a beautiful location.
We are so thrilled with how our July wedding turned out at Tarrywile. First, I will mention that of all the places we looked at this was by far the best value for what we paid. Not only do you have access to the beautiful grounds of Tarrywile, but you also can use the Mansion. We hosted just under 100 people in a sit down dinner inside, and the upstairs rooms were perfect for getting ready beforehand. The flexibility of Tarrywile is probably the main reason we chose it – we planned for an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception (the air conditioning inside was amazing for July!), but it was such a huge relief to know that if we didn’t get a sunny day we could hold the ceremony on the amazing porch of the Mansion, or indoors if necessary. Anne-Marie and Zach were great to work with, and even helped out when we had trouble with our sound system and had to borrow their microphone. They were also flexible in letting us drop off and store the decorations on Friday for the event on Saturday. Overall, we were so happy with how the wedding turned out and having chosen Tarrywile was a big part of it!

Having our wedding reception at Tarrywile Park & Mansion was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made about our wedding day. The park is beyond gorgeous, and the mansion itself is so beautiful inside it hardly needed any decorations the day of. We chose to have our cocktail hour inside the mansion and brought in a tent to put on one of the lawns for dinner and dancing. Anne was so helpful during leading up to the wedding and was always timely with her responses, and patient with us as we figured out the logistics of the day. On the wedding day, so many people complimented the venue and told us how beautiful it was. Because Tarrywile is not a “wedding factory” type venue, you have to do a little bit more of the planning yourself, but it is so worth it to have such a UNIQUE and customize-able place. Do not hesitate to have your wedding here!!!

The grape arbor was the setting for the ceremony, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the veranda, dinner in beautifully appointed rooms and dancing in the elegant foyer. Our guests loved the intimate ceremony and lovely reception spaces provided by the Tarrywile experience.

We just had the most romantic, fantastic wedding ever at Tarrywile Mansion. I can’t say enough how wonderful the setting was, and how many of my guests gushed about the mansion, grounds, and especially the veranda.
We had our ceremony under the grape arbor right before dusk. It needed no extra ornaments, it was so beautiful as is. Our bagpiper played to the side as guests mingled and took their seats, and he roamed the grounds playing while they adjourned to the veranda for cocktail hour.
We took some of the prettiest fall photo’s with our photographer on the grounds after dark, inside the conservatory! We light it and the veranda up with tinkling lights and it was just…perfection.
We used the various rooms inside the mansion and on the veranda to fit our 100 guests, and it was so intimate! Everyone gathered in the foyer to watch our first dance and to see us descend the stairs and be announced.
The kitchens our caterer used were clean, spacious, and professional. He made all our food on site and it was so flavorful and delicious!
Honestly, I will carry the memories we made forever…Tarrywile was my first choice, and we were so lucky to have been able to have our wedding here. You couldn’t do any better!

We had such a wonderful experience with Tarrywile. We worked with Anne-Marie in the process and she was helpful, kind, and always got back to us right away. The grounds are beautiful; there are many beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces to work with for both a ceremony and a reception depending on the weather. Definitely recommend!
From a personal Thank You Note:

Tarrywile park and Mansion is THE place to get married! We decided on Tarrywile because of its beautiful outdoor features including, the grape arbor we had the ceremony under, the gazebo we took photos at, or the small pond that we took our our engagement photos at. Besides the scenery, Tarrywile is really the place you can customize your wedding. you can use their preferred list of caterers, photographers, and other vendors but you can also make it your own of their list. We decided to use 2 different food trucks, and with Tarrywile’s flexibility, we were really able to make our wedding exactly what we wanted.
One thing I do suggest is to use a set up/clean up/wait staff service that comes before, helps throughout and cleans up for you.
Don’t think twice about Tarrywile – it’s the way to go!

We used the mansion for 4 hours and could not of been happier!! There was plenty of room and our event turned out beautifully. We planned ahead of time where tables would go and had them set up for us and down. The people are easy to work with (Anne-Marie) and will accommodate to your needs, I will definitely be using them again in the future. Response time and communication about anything is FAST! They are very understanding and want you to enjoy YOUR day. Thank you for making our event wonderful!

Five Stars! Reviewed on theKnot.com Where do I begin?! Tarrywile was the absolute perfect venue for our vintage wedding. Wedding date was May 20 for 90 guests. Flowers were in bloom and landscaping was well kept. Anne-Marie and staff were responsive to emails and calls. They even accommodated for my family and planner to be able to decorate the day before. We went with all their vendor recommendations and were not let done at all. I got endless compliments on our venue choice. It felt intimate and welcoming, like you were celebrating at someone’s home. Not your basic hall or barn wedding. Tarrywile gave our wedding a unique and timeless feel. Wedding Date: May 20, 2017

The historic and well cared for mansion and property is full of charm. Our family and friends were able to experience a variety of scenery through out our wedding. Our wedding ceremony was under a blooming grape arbor, cocktail hour was through out the entire mansion, including the conservatory and veranda. Our reception was under a large tent adjacent to conservatory and grape arbor. Pictures were taken around an apple orchard, through out various flower gardens and around a gazebo. This vendor is well priced and the events coordinator was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend renting Tarrywile Park & Mansion for your future event, or just visit to hike and enjoy nature at its finest!

Finally I got a chance to email you to express out deep appreciation of the beautiful historic mansion and what you have done to make our dream wedding come true! No work could fully describe how happy and satisfied we are until today!
It had been a smooth journey to work with you since the first day we came to the mansion. The moment we saw the mansion, Bin and I knew that was what we wanted. Its size is just enough to hold a big group of guests we have, and at the same time is still cozy and makes us feel like home. We are so glad that we had our ceremony during the most beautiful season in New England, and the weather that day did not let us down. And the style of mansion worked pretty well with Chinese traditional wedding decorations, which is amazing!
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So we are sending some wedding pictures. Although those photos are very nice, I want to say that the real beauty of the house on that day was even more splendid. Thanks again for working towards this wonderful memory!

Five Stars! Reviewed on theKnot.com I am a graduate student, and my husband was also in school while we were planning the wedding. We wanted a quality location for a reasonable price, and Tarrywile was the best choice in the Danbury area. We had a garden-themed wedding. The grape arbor was a perfect ceremony site. All of our pictures looked lush and colorful.

We had a wonderful wedding at Tarrywile Mansion. Our ceremony under the grape arbor could not have been more romantic, and the mansion provided an elegant venue for our reception. The mansion is gorgeous and tastefully decorated, so we didn’t have to do much additional decorating. The bride’s and groom’s rooms are convenient and luxurious; they have their own private bathrooms. The layout of the mansion does provide some challenges, since there is no banquet room that can fit all of your guests. However, we liked the intimacy of the smaller rooms, and the floor plan is very open so it doesn’t feel cramped. We ended up putting the buffet tables in the hallway, leaving the drawing room open for dancing, and putting a few tables on the veranda for dinner. Luckily, we had our first dance in the conservatory with guests watching from the adjoining drawing room, the conservatory provided a beautiful backdrop for our dance. It also worked well to have our toasts right after the dances while everyone was still standing in the drawing room. Anne-Marie, the mansion’s event coordinator, was very accommodating and responsive to our questions throughout the planning process. She let us visit the mansion numerous times and she responded to our emails promptly. They have someone on-site during the event to make sure you’re following their rules, but she was very inconspicuous and I never saw her until the night was over. Also, the site fee was very reasonable compared to nearby locations in Westchester County.

When we first learned about Tarrywile, we fell in love with it. This is a great spot for any event, but our wedding was perfect. We held the ceremony under the grape arbor which was in full bloom. Then our cocktail hour was on the veranda which was also very nice. Then our reception was inside the Mansion. So many people complimented us on what a beautiful Mansion it was, and wanted to know how we had found our about Tarrywile. My husband and I also love hiking the trails. Becky and Anne-Marie are so wonderful to work with, and are willing to do so much for the brides. This venue is affordable and is much more unique than a standard banquet hall. We loved our wedding at Tarrywile.

I had my wedding here in June of 2013. It was such a beautiful venue, all of the guests really enjoyed the Mansion and veranda. The service was always quick and professional. Everyone at Tarrywile I worked with was friendly and organized. I really don’t have anything negative to say about the venue, it was everything that I wanted. The caterer I used really made everything happen and worked directly with the venue personnel. I would highly recommend Tarrywile Mansion as well as Carriage House Caterers.

We recently had our wedding at Tarrywile Mansion and we are so happy that we did. Anne-Marie in the office was so easy to work with and made planning for a wedding much less stressful. The grounds there are beautiful for pictures and the mansion itself is so charming! At first I was unsure about having my wedding there based on the pictures online. Go see it in person before you cross it off your list. Everything was perfect! If you are looking for a caterer, I highly suggest using Carriage House Catering with Chris Angione. The mansion is one of his kitchens so he has access to the mansion the day before your event and he already covers the event insurance for the mansion. In addition, he is hands down the best caterer out there! (I should know after dealing with two who were less than professional. Third times a charm). Good luck on your event planning!

“Charming period mansion for a small to mid sized wedding”
We attended our nephew’s wedding 2 weekends ago at Tarrywile Mansion. Lovely spot in a park like setting. Charming mansion with a nice wrap around porch sitting on a small knoll. Not terribly fancy but quite charming. I don’t think a very large wedding/event would work there but the approximately 110 people had plenty of space to mingle. It was a bit too chilly to linger long on the porch, but I can imagine that in warm weather, it would be delightful. The staff were terrific and pleasant. A thoroughly enjoyable place to have a special event.
