New Haven, Hartford, Stamford, Norwalk and Danbury naturally offer the most choices of top hotel reception or banquet halls. but you don't have to limit your choices to the bigger cities.

There are country inns, historic mansions, museums, and don't forget incredibly scenic locations along Connecticut's more than 300 miles of coastline.

Wherever you choose to have your Connecticut reception, planning ahead of time is essential. First, ask friends or family for their suggestions, hunt the Yellow Pages or surf the Web (see below) for the perfect reception site that will suit your style, number of guests, and your budget.

Formal? Casual and family friendly? Indoor? Outdoor?

Make sure their reception facility has enough room for everyone on your guest list. If it's a complete package, can it be customized? Do they have a list of recommended vendors like florists, photographer and videographers? Is their a beautiful backdrop (provided by either the venue or Mother Nature herself) nearby for wedding photos? Is their enough parking available for all of your guests?
