Rare opportunity to acquire both an established wedding and event venue business and the real estate located at 1–3 Lake Street in Moosup, CT. Hope Lodge Venue is a year-round event destination located in a historic building that has been thoughtfully renovated to accommodate weddings, private celebrations, corporate functions, and community events.

The property offers two distinctive event floors that may be rented separately or together, providing multiple revenue opportunities and the flexibility to host events of varying sizes.

The upper-level “Perfect Room” accommodates approximately 170 seated guests or up to 200 guests for a standing event. This elegant space features a high wood ceiling, a prominent gold chandelier, rustic barn doors, a built-in stage with electrical outlets, adjustable lighting, a champagne wall, restrooms, and a kitchenette/wet-bar area equipped with counter space, a refrigerator, sink, ice machine, and food warmer.

The main-floor “Bella Room” offers an industrial-chic, loft-inspired atmosphere with large windows and direct access to the outdoor area. It accommodates approximately 80 seated guests or up to 110 standing guests. The space includes a bar area, kitchenette, bridal suite, restrooms, and a Bluetooth-compatible sound system. The Bella Room is also wheelchair accessible.

Renting both floors allows weddings to hold the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at a single property while creating a separate setting for each part of the celebration. Venue amenities include round and rectangular tables, white garden chairs, cocktail tables, sweetheart tables, heating and air conditioning, Bluetooth sound systems, and outdoor photography areas featuring an event arch, benches, and the recognizable “Wings of Moosup.”

Currently clients may select their own licensed and insured caterers, food trucks, DJs, bands, photographers, decorators, and other vendors. Customers may also bring their own food and beverages, subject to applicable insurance and alcohol-service requirements. This flexibility makes the venue especially attractive to couples seeking an affordable, customizable, or DIY-friendly wedding experience.

In addition to weddings and receptions, the property can accommodate ceremonies, rehearsal dinners, bridal and wedding showers, engagement parties, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate meetings, memorials, community gatherings, and other private functions. Its two event spaces create opportunities to host simultaneous activities, offer different rental packages, and generate revenue from both small and large events.

The sale includes the operating business and its established identity, together with the underlying commercial real estate. The business has a professional website with online inquiry capabilities, social-media accounts, venue photography, customer testimonials, preferred-vendor relationships, and exposure through leading wedding and event platforms, including The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, and Eventective. The property’s furnishings, event equipment, fixtures, business assets, future bookings, contracts, and other included items will be subject to the final terms of sale.

Significant growth potential may exist through increased weekday and off-season bookings, corporate and community events, vendor partnerships, event coordination, décor and linen rentals, beverage services, premium wedding packages, and additional marketing throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.

This offering provides an owner-operator, event professional, hospitality company, investor, or entrepreneur with the opportunity to control both the business and its occupancy costs while building equity in the underlying real estate. The historic character, flexible two-floor configuration, established local brand, and ability to accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations make Hope Lodge Venue a distinctive turnkey business and real estate acquisition.
