Indian Hill Country Club is a private member-owned club established in 1899 in Newington, Connecticut. Set on 111 Golf Street, the club centers on an 18-hole championship course whose design traces through three architects — John Duncan Dunn (1899), Robert D. Pryde (1912), and Robert J. Ross (1924) — producing a traditional New England layout of undulating terrain, native grasses, and a challenging par-70 routing. The club offers a private reception space with a wall of windows overlooking the course, an outdoor ceremony area beneath a white gazebo on the lawn, and a terrace for cocktail receptions. The facility accommodates up to 225 guests and provides in-house catering for weddings, private dinners, and other events. Both live bands and DJs are permitted, with music allowed indoors.

Wickham, the park encompasses nine distinctly themed gardens — including the Hilltop, Irish, Oriental, English, Scottish, and award-winning Sensory Gardens — alongside woodlands, ponds, and open fields. The park hosts weddings, receptions, and private events across two dedicated venues. The Cabin at Hilltop Garden is a rustic log cabin — a replica of the original structure built by the Wickhams in 1927 — featuring wood floors, exposed beams, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and a connected 30-by-60-foot reception tent. The adjoining amphitheater offers a panoramic view of the Hartford skyline. The Emerald Room of the Irish Garden is a stone-sided hexagonal building with a wood cathedral ceiling, set within a half-acre walled garden complete with a water fountain, stone tables, and a gazebo courtyard. Both venues are available April through October and accommodate events ranging from intimate gatherings to receptions of up to 150 guests.
