This is where we’ll be getting married! At the Pond House Cafe on the Elizabeth Park grounds. There will be some time between the ceremony and cocktail hour as well as during the reception if you’d like to explore!
One of my and Alex’s favorite breweries in the area! They have great New England hazy IPAs and offer pizza in their tap room.
A little further away, but another one of our favorite breweries in the state. If they have Cluster Nutter or Supa' Phresh on tap GET IT.
Fun place to hang out for a few hours. Fun fact, Alex and I had our 5th date at the CT Science Center 🥰.
In a world where malls are slowly dying (RIP Crystal Mall), the West Farms Mall is THRIVING. Great place to walk around or to do some last minute shopping.
Fun part of downtown West Hartford with several restaurants, shopping, and a great Barnes and Noble. There's also a movie theater called Cinepolis. While Alex and I have not been to this one in West Hartford, there was a Cinepolis in Maryland we went to all the time. Every Sunday before 3pm they had $5 mimosas they would deliver right to your seat.
Dunkin Park Baseball Stadium, home of the Hartford Yard Goats. Depending on the weather and the schedule there could be a Friday Night game!
By day a Chinese food restaurant, and by night one of the best karaoke bars in the area! Alex and Laura have been to many a karaoke night here with friends.
Good place to grab some tacos and some delicious margaritas. Alex and I had our second date here! I was running a few minutes late and Alex preordered guacamole for us, I knew I found a good one.
Great Korean food! Highly recommend.
Feeling hungover after our (hopefully) epic wedding? Sloppy Waffle is the perfect cure. We highly recommend the Spicy Jeff.
