StoneHurst at Hampton Valley is a unique spot nestled on a 90+ acres of land with not just one but TWO amazing venues.
The Mansion at StoneHurst and The Barns at StoneHurst are two different venues for two different types of couples on their special day.
Each venue comes with their own parking lot, ceremony site and bridal/grooms suites – we believe that no bride should see another on their special day and we have worked extremely hard to ensure we keep it that way.
If you wish to be the only wedding on property that day, that is also available with our Full Buyout option! This is where you use the mansion suites to get ready, enjoy cocktail hour in our mansion and then trolley ride down to the barns for an evening of dinner and dancing!
Testimonials:
"StoneHurst was a great place to host our wedding! Everyone we interacted with (Jenna, Chloe, Samantha, Siara) leading up to the day were kind and informative. The biggest "green flag" for us in picking StoneHurst for our wedding was the transparency in pricing. I had emailed Jenna prior to touring for a rough quote, and after touring and selecting our exact package, the final quote almost perfectly matched that initial rough quote - no hidden fees or added surprise costs...Would highly recommend!" -E
"Stonehurst at Hampton Valley hosted our son’s wedding, and everything was truly beyond perfect. From start to finish, the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Chloe, the wedding coordinator, was phenomenal—she paid attention to every little detail and made sure the day ran smoothly. Her organization and calm presence made all the difference. The staff was equally impressive: friendly, professional, and incredibly thorough in everything they did. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful or well-executed event. I highly recommend Stonehurst to anyone planning a wedding or special event—you will be in the best hands." -J
"Very nice service, tasty dinner, nice hall for a wedding and more" -G
"Jenna, Sam, and the rest of the team absolutely blew their service out of the water! We got married in May 2025 and chose to do the full buyout option, which was so worth it! They did an absolutely phenomenal job with taking care of set up, break down, and everything else in between. The food was amazing, the property is incredibly gorgeous, and all of the staff were kind and professional. We had so many guests say how much they loved it there and I am so thrilled we chose to go with Stonehurst for our special day!" -M

Our Mission: The Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center will strengthen Pequot Culture to honor and serve our Tribal family and friends. Tribally owned and operated since it opened on Aug. 11, 1998, the Museum brings to life the story of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. It serves as a major resource on the histories and cultures of Native Americans in the northeast and on the region's rich natural history. The Museum is a 308,000-square-foot complex, consisting of permanent exhibits, the Mashantucket Gallery (a gallery for temporary exhibits), classrooms, a 320-seat auditorium, a restaurant, a museum shop and administrative offices. The Research Center houses collections, archives, and archaeology and conservation laboratories where ongoing work from the field is evaluated and studied. Multi-sensory dioramas and exhibits introduce visitors to the history of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe and the natural and cultural history of the eastern woodlands. Films and videos, interactive programs, archival materials, ethnographic and archaeological collections, commissioned art, and traditional crafts by Native artisans are featured in the exhibits. The building is designed to interact with its surrounding environment while maintaining the ecological integrity of the area. It embraces the tree line and is nestled into the landscape; two of the five levels of the facility are below ground. The 185-foot stone-and-glass tower provides visitors with sweeping views of the swamp and region. The large, circular, glass-and-steel Gathering Space serves as an arrival and event area.
