About Us

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!

Jenna Hayward
General Manager

As the General Manager here at StoneHurst at Hampton Valley what I thought could only ever be a dream came to reality when our owner allowed me to take the reins and design a wedding venue with the wants and needs, I thought people were looking for. Originally from Long Island and now living close by in Canterbury I was able to use my experiences in both places to bring together the most unique barn and mansion I think CT has to offer.

As a full in-house catering venue not only can I promise that we will provide the perfect backdrop to your special day but I can also promise that the event coordination as well as cuisine, cocktails and service will be top notch as I can honestly say, it doesn't get much better than our StoneHurst team.

We pride ourselves on helping you plan your wedding from start to finish, from helping you with outside vendors, décor, food, coordination, drinks, setup, cleanup - I can say that we truly do everything for you. Your only job the day of your wedding will be to show up, relax in the suites and take it all in.

I hope you enjoy StoneHurst at much as I do! I look forward to seeing you here soon! Xo, Jenna
