Disadvantages

• Tax expenses
  Connecticut has one of the highest tax rates in the country which means things are naturally more expensive. This pretty much includes everything from houses and hotels, to food and drink, to clothing. Plan a budget for the party.
  
  
• Traffic
  Like with any city, traffic is an issue in Stamford so make sure you give yourself extra time to get where you need to go. Maybe consider ridesharing, or staying in a place a little bit closer to the action – after all Stamford is a pretty walkable city.
  
  
• Tolls
  If you’re looking to travel by car from a neighboring state rather than flying or getting the train in, be aware that Connecticut is currently starting to put tolls in place on some of its major roads.
  
  
• Weather
  This is the North East so the weather isn’t always amazing. Following the gorgeous fall foliage period, Connecticut often has harsh winters with a lot of snow. If you’re looking to have your party in the winter months, you might have to prepare for a blizzard.
  
  
• High cost of living
  Living in Stamford costs 18% more than the US average cost of living, so this can be a real issue when trying to find a party supplies on a budget. Stamford is a beautiful place with loads of amenities, but that often comes with a hefty price tag.
