Ceremony & Reception Venue Spotlight: The Tomes-Higgins House

A few weeks back I had the real pleasure of meeting with Barbara, the property manager at the Tomes-Higgins House in Greenwich. The house and property are exquisite, truly. I love this historic Connecticut mansion. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves!

The house sits on five and a half acres of “lush greenery” and was designed by the famous architect, Calvert Vaux, who co-designed Central Park. Pretty amazing, isn’t it? The interior of the house has all been restored to its original French style. The windows are huge and let in a tremendous amount of light. The interior architecture, molding, and other details are all so elegant. There are three separate rooms for dining, all overlooking the estate’s beautiful grounds. What I loved most was the sun porch with its gorgeous ceiling. It is the perfect spot for a bar, or better yet, your cake.

The grounds are also breathtaking. I loved the large back porch and patio. The outer grounds have beautiful old trees that sit on a flat lot, so it is perfect for an outdoor ceremony or cocktail hour. Currently, the Tomes-Higgins house is working on getting the proper paperwork in order to have tented affairs out back. Once they are capable of doing that… really, the possibilities are endless!
