Hi there, My fiancee and I are going to have to pay for most (if not all) of our wedding ourselves and I'm really stuck on trying to find a reception hall in Connecticut, (preferably New Haven County) that will accomidate 100-116 people and not make us go completely broke! I'm all googled out at this point and I was wondering if anyone knows of a nice place! We need to try to book the site soon as we are counting on an early September 07 wedding. Thanks!

Good luck Sadie, I am originally from Connecticut, but now I live in the steamy heat of Atlanta. I used to live in Fairfield County, so I don't think I can be too much help finding locations, but have you checked out the Connecticut board on theknot? You might just want to look at different girl's bios to find some ideas. Good luck. (I miss old CT. a lot!) |

Thanks, I'll check that out! I actually have a friend who is from "Hot"lanta! She is planning on moving back within the next few years.

Date: 7/31/2006 4:31:04 PM I was thinking about $55-$60 not including tax and gratuity. I don't want to go over 8k total for the reception. Since we will probably only have a little over 100 guests attending I'm hoping that will be a possibility. I looked at Yankee Silversmith in Wallingford (where i'm from) and they are in that range. I would love to be able to talk to someone about them though!

I've never actually been to Yankee Silversmith, but I've driven by there all the time! I used to work nearby For that price range, I seem to remember Anthony's in New Haven offering weddings for around $60 or so on Sundays I believe. It was almost 50% off if you did a Sunday wedding opposed to a Saturday one. They have amazing food; I personally just didn't like the actual place myself. But I know lots of people who absolutely LOVED that place for their reception or attended one there. And they have beautiful gardens in back. I had my reception at Great River Golf Club in Milford, however I don't seem to remember them discounting for off days (like Sunday). But they were absolutely amazing and worth looking into to! ________________________________ |

My grad school friend got mattied at 500 Blake St. I am not sure how much it cost pp, but I know they were on a fairly tight budget. Yale also owns function rooms in Loricco tower on Crown St. It may be expensive, but my grad program had our annual ball at the NH Lawn Club and it was beautiful! Munchkin

Munchkin, good thinking! I have no idea how much those places cost, but there are a ton of decent to great places in New Haven that you should consider! There is also a new reception place in Hamden, no idea of the cost nor can I think of the name right now, but they are fairly new, within the past couple years. Have you looked into the Grassy Hill Country Club in Orange? Just another idea, no clue on pricing again. ________________________________ |

thanks for the tip, Sean. i've actually heard very mixed reviews about LaMirage myself, it wouldn't hurt to check the place out though. i've also heard that Aldario's in Milford is a nice place for a smaller reception, it doesn't really have landscaping but it is on the beach and i heard the food was awesome. it's not tacky to make people drive 30 min. to the reception is it?
