New Canaan Launches Website for Waveny House Weddings and Events

To promote numerous recent improvements in and around the Waveny House mansion and its availability as a premier venue for weddings and other events the Town of New Canaan has launched a new dedicated website www.WavenyHouseEvents.com

The website provides vivid photos of the architectural masterpiece designed by renowned architect William B. Tubbs, with vintage grand halls and elegant rooms opening onto the expansive patios with broad views overlooking great lawns and picturesque gardens originally designed by the Olmstead Brothers firm.

Also introduced throughout the website is new Waveny House branding that showcases the timeless quatrefoil decorative element – historically associated with luxury and good luck – that is found throughout mansion in stonework, paneling, windows, lighting fixtures, and fireplace mantles.

Constructed in 1912 for the Lewis Lapham family, Waveny House sits majestically as the crown jewel of New Canaan, overlooking 275 acres of countryside and representing the culture, community and history of the town. The property was acquired by the Town in 1967, when it became the heart of the community welcoming all to be together, connect and celebrate.

Waveny House has long been a cherished venue for local events and weddings. The new website and branding are a symbol of continuing Town capital improvements that have enhanced the mansion and surrounding grounds aesthetically and to meet the ADA accessibility standards. In partnership with the Waveny Park Conservancy, the Town has restored and improved the entrance forecourt, walkways, the walled garden, and surrounding pond and meadows over the last five years.

Further, the Town has hired a dedicated wedding coordinator to serve as the primary point of contact for brides and event sponsors for weddings and the many other events held at Waveny.
