YOUR DAY, ON THE WATER

A celebration as memorable as the setting

The lawn runs to the water, and on your day it belongs to you. Vows at the edge of the Sound, dinner as the light goes long, and fourteen rooms upstairs for the people who matter most.

The lawn comes back

April through June is one of the most beautiful and sought-after seasons for celebrations, when the grounds come to life and spring is in full bloom. Prime weekends tend to book first, with many couples beginning their planning up to eighteen months in advance.

Long light, off the water

June through August captures coastal Connecticut at its best, with long, sun-filled days, warm evenings, and golden sunsets that set the scene for an unforgettable celebration. The terrace comes alive throughout the summer, inviting guests to linger outdoors, enjoy the waterfront setting, and celebrate well into the evening.

Golden hour arrives early.

September and October showcase coastal Connecticut at its most spectacular, with crisp air, golden light, and brilliant fall foliage creating a naturally beautiful backdrop for a celebration. It’s no surprise these are our most coveted dates of the year, with prime weekends often reserved well in advance.

Cozy winter dreams come true.

November through March offers a quieter, more intimate side of coastal Connecticut, from crisp late-fall days to the cozy charm of winter. During these months, we typically have greater availability and can offer more flexibility when selecting your preferred date

THE FOOD

A culinary experience from our own kitchen

Dinner is prepared just steps from the celebration in La Plage’s dedicated on-property catering kitchen, allowing each course to be served at its best, freshly prepared, beautifully presented, and brought to the table at just the right moment.

The experience begins well before the wedding day. Together with your coordinator and La Plage’s culinary team, you’ll create a menu that feels personal to your celebration, followed by a private tasting at La Plage with the Executive Chef to refine every detail.

Planning QUestions

Answered before you ask

A few of the practical answers from the Longshore wedding team. Your coordinator will guide the details specific to your celebration.

The coordinator team reaches out based on the wedding date and time of year. You will be notified when a designated coordinator is assigned.
Detail meetings are typically scheduled mid-week. Plan for a two-hour meeting to review linens, the event timeline, menu selections and other key details.
Tastings are arranged with your coordinator at La Plage. Two guests are complimentary, additional guests are $100 plus gratuity and tax per person, and the maximum is six guests. The tasting includes five hors d’oeuvres, two salads and three entrées.
Guest rooms are placed in your name at booking. You assign rooms and the front desk contacts guests directly for payment information. One suite is comped for one night or as the bridal salon or suite. Additional nights are determined 45 days before arrival, based on the event calendar.
All vendors need a Certificate of Liability. No hammering, nails or damage to event spaces is permitted. Rentals, deliveries and personal décor must be coordinated in advance with the coordinator.
The Inn and La Plage do not offer after-parties. The team can share local partner recommendations based on your room block and preferred location.
