Our Exclusive Venue
The Knowlton
A premier waterfront event venue in Fairfield County, Connecticut.
About The Knowlton
The Knowlton is the only venue Nicholson Events manages end to end. Set on the waterfront in Fairfield County, Connecticut, the venue brings together an elegant indoor reception space and an open air terrace, designed so a celebration can move naturally between the two as the night unfolds.
The space is built for production. Lighting rigs, AV, and staging are part of the venue, not an afterthought. That means the Nicholson Events team can design a full mitzvah, gala, or corporate evening on site without dragging gear through a back door at the last minute. Indoor cocktail hour, outdoor ceremony on the water, dance floor under a custom LED rig, all in one location, all coordinated by one team.
The Knowlton sits within easy reach of Greenwich, Stamford, Westport, and Norwalk, and is a short drive from Westchester County and New York City. For families and companies who want a Fairfield County setting with the production polish of a full service event company, this is the home base.
