So far we have found 5 places that we like for a potential spring/summer wedding. Those places are:
- The Wadsworth Mansion in Middletown, CT http://www.wadsworthmansion.com/
- Lady Katharine boat tours in Old Saybrook, CT http://www.ladykatecruises.com/private_charters_weddings.html
- St. Clement's Castle in Portland, CT http://www.saintclementscastle.com/default.asp
- The Inn at Longshore in Westport, CT http://www.innatlongshore.com/
- The Riverfront in Hartford, CT http://www.riverfront.org/boathouse/weddings_and_special_events/
We're planning on doing a justice of the peace style ceremony, meaning that we can get married at the same place where we will be having our reception. We figure this will make our budget a little more flexible, but will also maximize the amount of time our guests can enjoy themselves without having to leave one location to travel to another.
As things progress I will post links on this website to our various bridal registries and also to an interactive guest list. I want this to be a place where everyone from bridal party to guests can coordinate themselves (as far as who may be purchasing what gift, etc.) and keep up to date on the progress of our wedding. We're always looking for new and creative ideas or suggestions.
