100 Comments Second Anniversary
in Connecticut
Hi all!
Im looking for a venue for our whole wedding - ceremony and reception. Im looking for something by the shore if possiable. Im thinking we will have about 90 people. We want a laid back feel. Im just wondering if you guys have looked at anything at the shore you could recomend! Thanks!!

    Check out Anthony's (beautiful and great food), Amarante's (amazing view), and Water's Edge is gorgeous but it's a little fancier than the others.

    The one's above are great, but all require a 100 person minimum. 

    If you're looking for something laid back, the West Brook Elks lodge, was just redone, and is a good location for something with a casual feel right on the beach.

    The Mystic Seaport is a beautiful location- right on the mystic river (more or less the shore) and I don't *think" there is a 100 person minimum location. You could also check out Branford House at Avery Point and Eolia Mansion at Harkness Park, all beautiful!

    The Inn at Longshore in Westport is another possibility.

    Im getting married at Saybrook Point Inn in Old Saybrook, so of course I have to recommend it :) I also like Amarantes in New Haven (or it may be West Haven?) and the Inn at Longshore is beautiful too

    Lighthouse Point Park could work, too. I've heard several people have beautiful, fun, laid back weddings there.

    You'd have a little more work to do, but it might be worth looking in to.

    I got married at Saybrook Point Inn.  It's very nice and laid back and minimum of 50 during the day.  Not sure what night time is, maybe 100?

    It's got a nice marina outside.

    these were both already mentioned, but I def agree with Mystic Seaport (our venue! :) ) and Lighthouse Point Park. The Seaport has a few ceremony/recpetion locations to choose from--you can have your ceremony by a lighthouse, on their North Lawn, at a gazebo etc and the reception can be under a tent on the lawn, in their Boat House or in the River Room.  LPP is right near the water also, and even has a carousel!

    Our reception is at the Mystic Yachting Center. No minimum amount of people and you can have your ceremony on site. If you don't care that its in a shipyard which some people are bugged by its right on the water, and the facility is air conditioned which is a necessity for our July wedding!

    Lighthouse Point Park (Carousel House) is beautiful and on the water.  It books up fast.  We were not able to get married there because they're already sold out until 2013.
