The Best Event Venue in Hartford!

The ultra-modern Webster Bank Museum Center at The Mark Twain House & Museum was voted the 2018 Best Event Venue by Hartford Magazine. We offer world-class service and a breathtaking backdrop for your event at affordable rates.

We have hosted corporate meetings, weddings, receptions, seminars and numerous other events for over twenty years.

Meeting spaces for rent include the soaring Hal Holbrook Hall, the lecture hall-style Lincoln Financial Auditorium, the more intimate Hartford Financial Services Theatre and a spacious classroom that can be subdivided into two smaller meeting rooms.

The bright and airy Nook Cafe, located on the second floor, provides an ideal location for cocktails or an intimate dinner. The Nook opens directly onto a patio complete with tables, chairs, sun umbrellas and rockers for fair-weather entertaining.
