    I'm getting married in April there and we haven't starting talking with anyone yet. Anxious as well! I'm thinking once this season wraps up, they'll start focusing on the next batch!

    I'm getting married there next year, too.  I got an email from Alyson last week that she's slammed with weddings this month, but plans to start focusing on the 2012 weddings in October, making appointments for tastings, etc.

    Amy Stroope is my coordinator and she said that we will not be getting together or having tasting until April for my August 2012 wedding....

    Ahhhh I'm so excited for you guys!!!!!  We worked with Alyson and she was really on top of things for our June wedding. I think we got an email in January to schedule the group tasting for late February. 

    Good luck planning!!!

    Weird coincidence, I JUST got the email from Amy to schedule the tasting. I guess they're not doing group tastings anymore, they're doing one on one :)

    My fiance and I haven't booked our venue yet, but we're strongly considering Mystic Seaport. Just out of curiousity, are you ladies going to be paying extra for the tasting? I know that some caterers charge, while others offer the tasting for free after you book with them.

    When we had our tasting, we just paid extra for my parents because they wanted to come along but it was free for FI and me.  I'm not sure if that's changed at all.

    @c_meahan: We're in the River Room, too.  All we have planned at this point is the date and venue, but our wedding isn't til November, so I figure we've got plenty of time to get things figured out.

    @chf08: Our tasting is free for the first two people, then an extra charge for any other people we want to bring.

    Hi Ladies,

    I am going crazy looking for a venue. This weekend i am going to look at Mystic Aquarium and I'm thinking of looking Mystic Seaport too. How was your experience with them so far? Food, price, anything I should know. ask?

    Thanks!!
