Hi everyone!
FI and I got engaged on 5/11 in St. Augustine, FL and THINK we would like a small, intimate destination wedding to that same location... We certainly want to have an AHR (at home reception) when we return from our honeymoon...but trying to think of a place in CT where we could continue the more casual/laidback feel of a destination wedding...
We're looking for a place that would still feel like a reception - without getting too formal. Some ideas I've come up with are the Hartford Boathouse and Pond House at Elizabeth Park. Only drawback with the boathouse - we'd have to set up all the catering, rentals, etc...and since we'd be doing this immediately after our honeymoon, having to deal with any last minute changes/drama with the vendors may be more difficult!
Any ideas??? We're not completely tied to the Greater Hartford area, but I also have a bunch of family coming from Mass., so a shoreline location could be tough...
Oh, and we'd be looking at about 150 people...
Thank you all!
