s Director of Catering and Events for the Ocean House and Weekapaug Inn, Rachelle Lachica is used to accommodating last-minute requests. But that took on a whole new meaning during the winter of 2020. “Every week, there was something new that we did not think of from the week prior,” says Lachica. “When Covid started, you could have 50 people. Then it was down to 15. It adds so much stress. And people were still scared to travel, too.” Even in that environment, she and her team were able to help couples create scaled-down but memorable weddings. More than ever, she says, the pandemic further proved the capabilities the Ocean House Collection team offers: “Tell me what you’re looking for. We can make it happen for you.”
