On Wednesday night, nearly 200 Cape Cod wedding professionals gathered for the second annual Cocktails & Connections event sponsored by The Casual Gourmet and the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce. The event was held at the beautiful The Cape Cod Museum of Art in Dennis.
Andy & I were there to support these organizations and their efforts to further promote Cape Cod as the Northeast’s most prestigious destination wedding location. The evening was a huge success, with lots of fabulous food, wine by Truro Vineyards, and music by CapeTunes.
Other sponsors included: AFR Furniture, Geek Girls, Desiree Spinner Events, Rentals Unlimited, Prestige Valet, Be Our Guest, Undercover Tent & Party, Ormonde Productions, Patrice Milley Floral Design, Lilac Flowers, Designers Touch, All About Flowers for Weddings, Lady Slipper Stationary, Treats Catering & The Dennis Inn, and Sysco Boston.
We volunteered to take a few photos of the bash, along with fellow Mashpee photographer, the very talented Dan Cutrona.
