AboutGary & Teri Expertise My main specialties are invitations, catering, and banquet locations or in general, wedding receptions. Started as a family business over 75 years ago I now own and operate a catering & banquet facility for over 30 years and have catered small cookout events to large formal ones with everything in between. I even had an event that was attended by the President of the United States. I have been involved with over three thousand weddings and have been told that I have seen and done it all. I must reply almost, because something new always pops up.
Experience I have preformed almost every service needed at a reception from invitations, hosting and catering the event to photographing, dj and honeymoon plans with the latter being special circumstances. I have worked and hosted weddings up to 750 guest and other functions up to two thousand. With well over 30 years experiance of consulting with brides I have seen much of what works and does not.
I have also been involved with many business and orginizational functions and also have been listed in "Who's Who" business and executive edition.
Question Hello,
i am looking to have a small informal ceremony on the beach with about 50 people. we then either want to have a party in a house that we rent on the beach or have a sit down dinner. we are trying to cut down on people and save money. we want to do this in Connecticut. Do you have any ideas at all for places to have the wedding or some sites to look on to find venues.? Basically i'm pretty clueless so ANY help you can offer would be great. Thanks so much and let me know if you need more info- i just didn't want to write a book. :)
Answer Hi Carrie, I really do not know what is in Connecticut but a few places you may try is sometimes real estate agents may lease out a home for someone or the small newspapers that circulate around travel destinations have listings for rentals. That is the best I can offer since I am located in Ohio.
