Weddings at the Barns at Wesleyan Hills
The Barns at Wesleyan Hills is one of the best all-inclusive wedding venues in Connecticut. The venue is located in Middletown and is ideal for mid to large sized weddings, for guest counts from 100 to about 200.
Like with most barns wedding venues, the interiors are warm, with string lights gently lighting up the indoor ceremony and reception space.
What I love about the venue is that it is a perfect indoor/outdoor venue. This means you don’t have to have a plan b for rain on your wedding day, the reception space can easily be converted into a ceremony space in a short period of time.
Lastly, the bridal suite is huge! There is space for 10-15 in there for getting ready.

The Venue and Property
The barn sits on a large piece of land within Middletown and there are many outdoor options for your ceremony and photos after. There is a small pond, multiple willow trees, and lawns for all options. Inside, the wood brings a lot of warmth to the photos. This venue is ideal for all seasons, it will be awesome in both the middle of summer as well as in the darkness of January. Although the interiors are super warm, the exterior of the barns are light gray, which adds a little bit of a modern look to the venue.
Catering and more
The venue is all-inclusive. Catering, beverages, rentals and more are all included, which makes it a little bit easier for couples who don’t want to burn out planning their wedding. The menus are seasonal and feature items such as salmon, chicken, filet mignon and vegetarian options. My favorites are the hors d’ouvre options and the signature cocktails.
