Ways to celebrate:
- Host a luncheon

- Surprise the happy couple
- Bring the whole family together

Milestone birthday parties
Some birthdays are worth making a little more of.
30. 40. 50. 60. 70. 80. 90 and beyond. There comes a point when a birthday becomes about much more than blowing out candles. It’s an opportunity to bring together family, lifelong friends, colleagues and all the different people who have been part of someone’s story.
Shuttle Meadow is a beautiful Central Connecticut setting for milestone birthday luncheons, dinners, cocktail parties and family celebrations.
Make it elegant. Make it fun. Make it a surprise. Or simply bring everyone together around a wonderful meal.
Small gatherings are worth celebrating, too
It’s not about filling the room. It’s about who’s in it.
Some milestones call for 100 guests. Others call for 30 of your favorite people sitting around the table together. Both matter.
Shuttle Meadow offers event spaces and configurations that let us welcome celebrations of different sizes without making a more intimate gathering feel lost in an oversized room. Tell us approximately how many people you’re inviting and how you envision celebrating, and we’ll help you explore the setting that feels right.
