FAQs
Question
Are there other places to stay nearby?
Answer
Yes! Because the venue is somewhat near a casino area, hotels can be pricy. So, we ultimately decided to pick hotels that were closest to the venue and a little more affordable. But, the Foxwoods Casinos are also nearby and are a fun place to stay if you are looking for al little extra activity. Would recommend: - Hilton Garden Inn Preston Casino Area - 5 Watson Rd, Preston, CT 06365 - (860) 885-1000 - The Fox Tower at Foxwoods - 240 Fox Tower Dr, Mashantucket, CT 06338 - (860) 312-3352 Both of theses are very close to the casino area and about 20 minutes from the venue. I would not expect Ubers to be an issue. We have also heard wonderful things about The Spa at Norwich Inn if you are looking for something more recluse and relaxing. Address: 607 W Thames St, Norwich, CT 06360 Phone: (860) 425-3500
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
Answer
Yes! We are arranging for bus transportation from the Courtyard Norwich and Comfort Suites Near Casinos. Stay tuned for details. If you choose to stay elsewhere, you will need to arrange your own transportation.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Cocktail Attire (Outdoor Celebration) Our ceremony takes place outdoors overlooking the tree farm. And the reception will take place under a tent behind the ceremony area. We’d love for our guests to dress up and celebrate with us in style — polished and festive, but not black tie. Men: Suits or dress pants with a blazer; ties are welcome but not required. Women: Cocktail dresses, midi/maxi gowns, or dressy jumpsuits Since the celebration will be outdoors on cobblestone (with surrounding areas of grass), we recommend block heels, wedges, or flats for comfort. Think cocktail attire with a touch of garden party!
