Weddings & Receptions

With its classic New England style, central Main Street location, and picturesque grounds, the New London Inn is a natural choice for wedding celebrations. Couples enjoy the charm of a historic inn paired with modern comforts, customizable menus, and a seasoned planning team to bring every detail to life. Our private event room with garden views is perfect for rehearsal dinners or welcome parties, while the Inn at Pleasant Lake - our sister property just minutes away - offers an idyllic lakeside backdrop for wedding ceremonies and receptions. Together, the two properties provide the best of both worlds: historic charm in town and lakeside elegance nearby.
