We have structured our guest list to stay on budget so will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation.
Our wedding is predominantly an adults-only event, with the exception of a few close friends and family members. If your children are not specifically listed on your invitation, regretfully we cannot accommodate them.
Our wedding is your typical semi formal, cocktail attire event.
Depending upon the weather, the ceremony may take place outside, which in mid-October in Connecticut can be warm or downright chilly. Please plan accordingly and bring a jacket if needed. The outside ceremony area is a patio with limited grass, so ladies there is no need to worry about your heels. The reception will be indoors.
The ceremony begins at 4:30 sharp so we encourage all guests to arrive by 4pm so you can get settled before the ceremony begins.
You only need to walk a few steps! All wedding events — ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and the after party — are all in the same location, the Ethan Allen Hotel.
After the ceremony, there will be a cocktail hour with a variety of appetizers. You can select your dinner choice for the reception on the RSVP page. A beef, chicken, fish, and vegetarian option will be available. If you have specific dietary restrictions beyond that, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you. There will also be a kid's meal option available for the little ones.
The reception will end at 10pm.
The cocktail hour and reception are open bar. The After Party will be a cash bar.
For those wishing to continue the party after the reception ends, we will be hosting an After Party in the Ethan Allen Hotel bar. This will be a cash bar event, but we’ll be providing some late night food. If you’re staying for the party, we hope you also take advantage of the hotel accommodations.
For those looking for overnight accommodations, we have reserved a block of hotel rooms onsite at our venue, the Ethan Allen Hotel. When booking your room, please be sure to use the code “SOME10” to get our group rate. Please visit the Travel page for complete details.
The Ethan Allen Hotel has an on-site restaurant that is open for breakfast and dinner on the weekends. In addition, there are a number of places nearby including (but not limited to) Dunkin Donuts, McDonalds, Chucks Steak House, Stanziatos pizza, and the Mill Plain Diner which we can personally recommend.
There are a few options for airports. Please be advised, the drive times noted below from the airport to the venue is highly dependent on time of day and traffic, especially those airports around NY and NJ. Tweed-New Haven (HVN): 40 miles, approx 1 hour LaGuardia (LGA): 60 miles, approx 1hr 30 min Kennedy (JFK): 65 miles, approx 1hr 30 min Newark (EWR): 80 miles, approx 1hr 30 min Bradley (BDL): 75 miles , approx 1hr 40 min
The simplest way is probably to rent a car. For those who choose to fly into LGA or JFK, there are train options that will bring you within about 10 minutes of the venue, with options to Uber from there.
Yes, the venue is a hotel with plenty of parking on site.
