I'll see if I can find where my half-sister's son got married in CT. The inn they held it at was pretty, had a large grassy field and they supplied a large tent and what not. The scones the innkeepers made in the morning were crazy good too! It was a pretty good place for 70-80ish people.
Congrats as well!

Church wedding?
Urban or rural setting?
Cathedral of the Pines in Ringe would be excellent in summer/fall.
Excellent view, not to far from the Boston area.

Actually, I kinda did that, and it was still a lot of stress. There is still a LOT of planning to go on, and then you have people all in a snit that they didn't see us exchange vows, especially if you don't tell them that you got married legally at city hall, and the prima donna guests think that they deserve to see a wedding ceremony I didn't really want to plan on top of everything else but are plenty happy to eat the food we are providing for them.
Oh wait, too much? 😛
Actually, it's a LOT less stress if you have someone to lean on. My mom and dad took on a lot of planning burden since the reception was in my hometown, and they were still there, and we were 300 miles away.
I'll give you a nice place for a reception... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worcester_(MBTA_station)

Rates are about 1-2k for the station. The main hall of the station. It's awesome for the price. You have to cater it yourself, though. Good acoustics, too.
My fiance and I are doing a Justice of the Peace wedding. Then we're going to some other relative's wedding that day. "Don't bogart that cake, bitch!" Uber cheap.

so you will pick a reception hall somwhere in MA/CT site unseen? wow...well anyway, what are you looking for anyway, are you looking for an old castle, country club, a cheapie place, a place with an awesome view, etc? Maybe I can give you a few suggestions.

If you can manage it in any way...go for the Maui wedding. All you need is your close family, the best man and maid of honor...everyone else can wait until the reception...at YOUR convenience. You won't regret getting married in Maui at all, even if it's a small wedding.
BTW, congrats...(or my deepest sympathy) 😀
I remind my wife occasionally (when I don't plan to eat for a few days) that if I'd have killed her 30 years ago, I'd be out and living the single life long before now...😛
Do try to keep in mind, that even in our "throw-away society," marriages take work by both parties...and it's not always easy...I see far too many people throwing in the towel at the first fight or rough patch...IMO, it's USUALLY worth working things out.
<going on 34 years of "married bliss"> :roll:

If you do end up honeymooning in Hawaii, rent a privately owned condo or home. If you want a pool, think condo. The rental market is very competitive right now with supply far exceeding demand.
Even if the market was not in the state it's in right now, a condo or home is a far better deal than a hotel room. Far less expensive, much more privacy, far nicer accommodations than a hotel room, etc., etc. Car rentals are very reasonable right now too. Food however, is expensive.

Yeah luckily we do agree that we would want a small wedding.
I am fond of a lot, but how our families each are (mainly mine, but to a lesser extent hers) it would be much more stressful and unneeded drama. My side has a lot of divorced family who are remarried, and I don't want to deal with any kind of issues from that. Luckily she doesn't want a big wedding, and we are both friends with all the people we would want there (I think 6 in total+us).
Congrats on getting married, and hope you have an awesome wedding 🙂
Oh and PS, I agree with BoomerD get married where YOU want to. Once again it is YOUR (and your spouses) DAY, not theirs. Do what the two of YOU want, and make sure it is what you two want your wedding to be. Once that is done, then figure out how many people can go to your wedding. Have the reception close for people who couldn't make it to the ceremony, but do the ceremony where you want regardless of what others want.

how about Cape Cod ? my brother had a wedding there at one of the huge inns,
a few hundred guests. planned by
http://weddingbeautiful.com/new_page_1.htm
i think it helps to get out on the Cape, sort of an escape from the stress of the city.
plus if you have it in the late spring or summer, there's swimming for everybody.
i suggest the area around Kennebunkport, then your guests can take a cruise &
eat lobster and say, "ooooh, i saw the Kennedy's" (and did or did not flip them the
bird, depending on their persuasion.)
P.S.
oh yeah, Kennebunkport is in Maine. and it's the Bush's. i get America's pseudo-
royalty mixed up.
OH YEAH. omm. Congratulations !
