The city of Milford, whose motto is "A Small City with a Big Heart," is a beautiful place for a romantic wedding weekend, as it features 17 miles of Long Island Sound coastline, a charming small-town atmosphere, and historic architecture.

Milford has several bakeries for you to consider while tasting wedding cakes, including Scratch Baking, which was voted "Best Bakery 2012" by readers of the Milford Patch, and Sweet Designs, which offers a wide range of styles, from whimsical, to traditional or contemporary.

Catering By Christine, which has menus available for any budget, has experience planning and catering events of all sizes, from intimate cocktail parties to lavish sit-down dinners for groups of 5,000.

Hilton Garden Inn Milford is one of Milford's most popular wedding venues, especially for couples who have a lot of out-of-town guests. The hotel is located only one mile from downtown Milford, so your wedding guests will have easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment options.

Milford has several beaches you can enjoy during the warmer summer months, including Walnut Beach, Silver Sands State Park, and Fort Trumbull Beach.

You can also attend a show or event hosted by the Milford Fine Arts Council or take part in one of Milford's annual festivals, such as Milford Oyster Festival or the Sand Castle Contest.
