Coastal Wedding Venue Turned Vision into Reality with $8.5M in Funding

Tyde at Walnut Beach, located along the shoreline of Long Island Sound in Milford, Connecticut, was built with a clear vision: to create a high-end venue where every event feels exceptional. From waterfront ceremonies to rooftop receptions, the space was designed to deliver memorable experiences across weddings, corporate gatherings, and private events.

Turning that vision into reality required significant investment. Developing a destination venue involves not only acquiring and preparing the property, but also designing and constructing a space that meets the expectations of today’s clients. For Tyde, the challenge was not demand, but the ability to scale the concept to its full potential.

Through an $8.52 million SBA 504 loan, CIC provided the long-term financing needed to support construction and development. This structure allowed the business to invest in its facility while maintaining financial stability during its growth phase.

Today, Tyde at Walnut Beach stands as a premier destination venue in the region. Its ability to host a wide range of events, combined with its distinctive coastal setting, positions it for sustained success. The project reflects how strategic financing can support not just business growth, but the creation of experiences that drive long-term value.
