Brief History Of The Inn at Middletown Hotel
This charming wedding venue in Connecticut was built in 1810 as the personal residence of the former president of Middletown National Bank. However, in 1919, the property was acquired by the State of Connecticut. It then served as an armory of the Connecticut National Guard until the structure faltered. Things started to turn around in 1996 when Mr. and Mrs. Weitzman purchased the property with a vision of transforming it into a cultural center that featured art and music. Unfortunately, they met a tragic car accident which took both their lives. In the late 1990s, Middletown’s leaders acquired the property to develop it into a conference venue or inn and became successful in that venture, much so that the hotel we know of today opened its doors in November 2003.
Accommodations for Ceremonies
The Inn At Middletown offers three different reception rooms which are the Patriot, Weitzman, and Wesleyan ballrooms. The room with the smallest floor area is the Patriot which is 588 square feet and can host up to 40 guests. It is located on the third floor of the inn and may also be used for cocktails. Meanwhile, on the second floor are both the Weitzman and Wesleyan ballrooms. Each one can accommodate up to 120 guests in their 1,276 square feet area. The two ballrooms have a pre-function area by the curved staircase.
Wedding rites, on the other hand, are held at the foyer which can host up to 30 guests seated. Should you need space for more guests, you may also rent out either the Weitzman or Wesleyan ballrooms for your ceremony. The fireplace in each of these indoor venues is commonly used as the backdrop for marriage rites.
