Unique Wedding Venues in MA and CT
This is the time of the year when we do a little driving and check out some unique wedding venues that we have scheduled for the upcoming season or new reception sites that have shown up on our radar. Let me tell you about a few of the recent stops that we made:
Mill 1 at Open Square in Holyoke, MA
This is a unique industrial feel with all the exposed brick and modern bar structure. http://www.opensquare.com/
Farmington Gardens in Farmington, CT
With a separate dining area, social hour area and outdoor space, this is a well thought out venue. This is surely not your run of the mill wedding venues. It is well worth checking out. http://www.farmingtongardensct.com/
Belle Terrace (Avon Old Farms Inn) in Avon, CT
Recently renovated - this venue will be making a comeback with new management in place. They have an outdoor area for social hour or ceremony. It is run by the Riverhouse Properties. http://www.avonbelleterrace.com/
Vania & Jeffrey – Lusitano Club, Ludlow MA
Vania & Jeffrey had a beautiful day for their 11 hour long wedding reception. In typical Portuguese fashion, we had nearly 350 guests and two meals over the course of those 11 hours. The desert spread was simply amazing.
Vania & Jeffrey wanted to do things a bit different at their wedding. They had a slide show that looped during social hour on the two video screens we provided. There was a slide show for Vania & her father, and one for Jeffrey and his mother's dance. We even had their engagement photos from Chris Kerr up on the screen. When dancing started, we even played music videos for the top 40 songs that we played.

Jeffrey & Mother's Dance: Mamma - Boyz II Men

Shelton High School – Winter Formal Dance – DJ – Music Video Dance Party – Photo Booth Rental
We have been working with Shelton High and their winter formal for years. This was the first year we incorporated our photo booth into the festivities. THEY HAD A BLAST.
We had our 14' video screen and projected music videos up on the screen all night. The students were lined up for the photo booth from the moment they walked in the gym to the moment we ended.
Wedding Ceremony Musicians – But What About The Ceremony Microphones?
Isn’t that grand. You’ve found a string trio for your outdoor wedding ceremony. But how are your guests going to hear the officiate or the two of you exchange vows? If you don’t care that your guest will not hear anything – no problem. Why even invite them to the ceremony then?
If on the other hand you do want your guests to be there and engaged in the exchange of your vows, then you need to think about procuring a professional PA system for your outdoor wedding ceremony. As a minimum, you need a microphone for the officiate. (No matter how many times they tell you that they speak loudly and do not need a microphone) Without amplification, they are not going to be heard in the back or over the water noise or truck driving by or plane passing or child crying.
To do it right- you also need a microphone for any readers and one to pick up the two of you exchanging vows. Are you counting? That’s 3 microphones for most ceremonies. Someone also needs to be managing the microphone levels and EQ. No one likes a squealing microphone when it feeds back. Live musicians are great, but you still need some form of PA sound system so all your guests can enjoy your ceremony. Give us a call – we can help!
