“I am so pleased with the welcome party that we parents of the bride and groom were able to host in the Cutter Room at the Hilton Mystic in Mystic, CT! The room was perfect for our party of 120 guests---lots of space to mingle, room for some table seating and some hi tops; we had a bar inside our private party space with room for 2 bartenders to serve our guests; we had finger foods and deserts and a beautiful cheese and cracker tray that was all displayed beautifully and DELICIOUS (I wish I had some of the brownies now!); and the Hilton audiovisual team assisted us in having a screen for our photo slide show and speakers for some music in the background. Rebecca Buttafuoco was our event manager, and she was readily available, helped plan all aspects of our event, and truly made a memorable and fabulous party for all! Thank you Rebecca! I would recommend this venue and our wonderful event manager Rebecca to everyone!”

“Our wedding at SHI was absolutely incredible! It is the perfect venue for a more intimate wedding. Erin - the event coordinator - is so delightful to work with and made sure everything was set for our day. It was lovely to have our guests be able to stay at the venue and made our wedding into a weekend long celebration. It is only 10 minutes from the private beach and we did our first look photos there with the help of the Inn's beach van for transportation. SHI also provides drink packages for the event and the bartenders were fantastic!! Would absolutely recommend SHI to any couple as their venue.”
