Tiffany Juliet House is a circa 1865 Victorian Italianate mansion in Glastonbury, Connecticut, situated within the "Curtisville" National Historic District. Originally built as a single-family residence by the prominent Welles family, the property later served as an inn for shipbuilders working along the Connecticut River. Owners Corrine Crocker — a wedding planner since 1990 — and William Luby purchased the house in 2007 and completed a meticulous renovation between 2009 and 2013, preserving the original framing timbers and handcrafted staircase while rebuilding the interior with modern systems, including a geo-thermal heating and cooling system throughout its 6,000 square feet. The venue balances historic character with modern comfort across its first-floor gathering spaces — a front parlor entrance, an open dining room with capacity for up to 75 seated guests, and The Village Room for boutique celebrations — as well as a second-floor bridal suite. A riverfront ceremony location on the property accommodates outdoor ceremonies, with optional horse-drawn carriage access. Tiffany Juliet House specializes in intimate gatherings: bridal and baby showers, small weddings and rehearsal dinners, afternoon and children's tea parties, anniversary and birthday celebrations, corporate retreats, holiday parties, and Indian cuisine events. The venue also offers an on-site shop with invitations, floral design, custom cakes, balloon art, and a dress boutique.
