Fairfield County is the southernmost county in Connecticut, and the one nearest to New York City. It borders Long Island Sound. The area of Greenfield Hill and the Greenfield Hill Congregational Church (where the wedding will take place) is very historical as are Fairfield and the Southport section of town.

The town of Fairfield was founded in 1639. The current population is over 60,000 people. It is located on the Long Island Sound between the cities of Bridgeport and Westport. It is part of what is called Coastal Connecticut. It has several public beaches and many historical homes and structures.

Fairfield is located about 50 miles from Manhattan and is, literally, just a train ride away. The Metro North commuter railway has stations up and down the Connecticut coast, including Fairfield, with frequent trains scheduled to travel in and out of New York City using the Grand Central Station Terminal. More information regarding Metro North is included in the "Things to Do" section of the website. We are also about three hours from downtown Boston-another great city to visit.
