From 4:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Combining the best of the campy 80's movie "The Wedding Singer" and the audience participation hit "Tony & Tina's Wedding" (the longest running off-Broadway show), this event will have something for everyone.
With professional DJ Lee Rocha to lead the festivities, guests will be able to participate in all those hilariously funny wedding-related traditions like the Dollar Dance, the cutting of the cake, the Chicken Dance, and the bouquet and garter toss. A "never-to-be-worn-again bridesmaid dress" contest will also be held, so for all those bridesmaids out there who thought they'd never have a chance to wear that dress again, this is your chance! Bring back the big hair of the 80's era and enter a contest for a prize. Cadmarie Salon of downtown New London will be on hand to transform your hair into that 1980's big hairdo! Nosh on an assortment of light hors d'oeuvres donated by downtown New London's finest eateries! Affordable cash bar available for beer, wine and a signature 1980's drink! Come as a couple or with a group of friends!
In lieu of gifts, there will be an admission price of $30 for an individual ticket and $50 for a pair. Checks or cash only for tickets purchased at the door. Tickets purchased on-line can be picked up in the lobby of the Crocker House Ballroom the evening of the event starting at 4:00pm. The first 100 people to arrive receive a free drink coupon!
