About Connecticut Science Center

The Connecticut Science Center is a downtown Hartford venue along the Connecticut River, with river and city views, interactive exhibits, and event spaces inside its science museum. Wedding ceremonies can take place outdoors on the Science Plaza, with indoor options available. The wedding package places cocktail hour in a gallery of the couple’s choice and dinner and dancing in Science Alley, a 10-story atrium with floor-to-ceiling windows and exhibits including a dinosaur and rocket ship. A theater is offered as the ceremony backup for inclement weather. The wedding package includes a private space-themed lab for getting ready. The Science Center also rents individual spaces and combinations of spaces for private events, with capacities and rates varying by room and event format. David Alan Hospitality Group provides customizable food and beverage services. The venue lists planning and day-of coordination, setup and breakdown, tables and chairs, and optional enhancements and A/V equipment.
