Breathtaking stately ships. Invigorating fresh air. Captivating water views. All of these elements combine to make Mystic Seaport Museum a wonderful backdrop for any special celebration.
Founded in 1929, Mystic Seaport Museum is the nation’s leading maritime museum, created to gather and preserve the rapidly disappearing artifacts of America’s seafaring past. The 19-acre campus along the banks of the Mystic River is comprised of a recreated New England coastal village, a working shipyard, formal exhibit halls, and state-of-the-art artifact storage facilities as well as numerous on-site eateries and a robust offering of private dining and event spaces.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, meeting, corporate event, memorial luncheon, family reunion, or other special event, a variety of outstanding spaces capture the area’s historic New England charm, providing you and your guests the perfect spot for your special day. Please note that certain venue spaces may only be available after 5:00 p.m.

Constellation is a culinary group dedicated to providing best-in-class dining experiences for one-of-a-kind events across the region. In 2008, we began our pursuit to make people happy through food. We bring restaurant-quality outside of restaurants, serving everything from intimate weddings to large galas. We’ve built a culinary group that does what restaurants always have: get people talking—and daydreaming—about food, long after their last bite. Our goal is simple, and it’s always been the same: we build connections—with each other and with you—to make you happy through food. And when we succeed together? That’s something worth celebrating.
