Unfortunately, I don't know any of the specifics regarding rentals, etc.&nbsp; Ooorrr Bluff Point could be an option, I think there is variety there too in that there are buildings AND grass AND beach.&nbsp; I personally am getting married at Avery Point (at the Branford House, a historic mansion on the grounds of one of Uconn's branches), but it is all lawn, not sand, directly on the water (and they book way ahead!).&nbsp; All of these places are in Eastern Connecticut.&nbsp; I can get more information for you, if you're interested!&nbsp; Good luck and happy engagement! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ct-beach-wedding-help#post-52970 Thu, 22 May 2008 14:14:11 +0000 yazi21 52970@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hello!</p> <p>&nbsp;I am getting married next summer 8/29/08. My ideal wedding would be just like the final scene in 27 Dresses, on the beach in Connecticut, both ceremony and reception.&nbsp;I already have the amazing caterer but I am having trouble finding a beach site that allows outside catering. I would also like a place with clean bathrooms so I don't have to rent (ew) porta-potties. I have started to look into rentals of homes, with private beach areas, but that has been tough. I would also be willing to go to Rhode Island. Anyone have any suggestions?</p> <p><img src="/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/icon_confused.gif" /></p>
