My family always resorts to our usual venue, Savin Rock Conference Center in West Haven, CT for wedding and baby showers. It is definitely in our price range but I would like to know if there are venues that aren't too expensive in CT that have more of an outdoor/ rustic/ woodsie feel to them. The conference center is right on the beach and very convenient but we aren't beach people. I would love a place we can rent even a garden or picnic area without being swamped with renting absolutely everything to make the shower happen. Anyone know of a place?
