Ceremony

Ceremony area at Rocky Neck State Park.

Here are some of the details for our big day.

Ceremony Location

Rocky Neck State Park, East Lyme, CT

The ceremony and reception will be held in the same State Park with only a short walk from the ceremony site to the reception.

GPS friendly address:
244 West Main St.
East Lyme, Connecticut 06357

General Details

We will be married on the shore of Long Island Sound on the lawn adjacent to the Pavilion at Rocky Neck State Park.

The ceremony site is partially shaded but by 4:30pm we expect the sun to be of little impact to our guests. In any event, please plan accordingly.

Inclement Weather

We don’t want to plan for it, let alone even think about it, but in the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will take place in the Pavilion followed by a cocktail hour and reception in the same place.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed that we get a gorgeous day. We respect the averages on weather for the area and we have an almost even chance of rain or sun.

Parking

Parking for the ceremony and reception are the same. The first forty cars to arrive can park in the event parking area directly behind the Pavilion. The remaining guests will be directed to park near the East Beach Access area by Park Rangers.

Park Admission

Park admission is waived for our guests. The process is solely based on the honor system, plus our guests will likely be dressed differently than the average beach goer.

In the event that there is a question over admission, mention you are here for the Benson/Carew wedding.
