The family-owned Darien waterfront banquet and restaurant establishment, better known for hosting elaborate single weddings, is opening its doors on Valentine’s Day for everyone who wants to renew their wedding vows or get married.

Everything needed for that perfect ceremony will be available, from a Justice of the Peace and floral decoration to photography and a champagne toast, all to the high standards that generations of brides and wedding guests have come to expect from The Waters Edge at Giovanni’s.

“Valentine’s Day only comes once a year and there is tremendous demand from couples to renew their vows or get married on that day so we have decided to accommodate them all!” stated JoAnn Latorraca, General Manager of The Waters Edge at Giovanni’s, and second-generation owner.

A group vow renewal and wedding ceremony, officiated by Mary C. Pugh, Connecticut’s top J.P. and veteran of hundreds of weddings every year, will be held on Monday, February 14th at 7PM.
