Saint Clements Castle 

5.0

Portland, CT
  • Up to 260 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $120

Where the castle meets the river, Saint Clements Castle & Marina, is Connecticut’s premier wedding and event venue in Portland. Situated along the banks of the river, each of the three unique event spaces provide a picturesque and scenic backdrop of the riverside and lush greenery while outdoors. Inside, you will find newly renovated historical charm for a variety of special events, including weddings, showers, corporate meetings, and other celebrations. Saint Clements Castle has earned a reputation of an elevated and enchanting setting perfect for all things in life worth celebrating. Saint Clements Castle and Marina’s location, in central Connecticut, is easily accessible as a midpoint from the New York City and Boston areas.

Saint Clements Castle provided a beautiful venue and kind staff for our wedding day. We especially appreciated our sales coordinator, Alyssa, who was professional, fast, and clear in her communication throughout the planning process. When rain forced us to move the ceremony indoors, the team quickly adapted the art gallery for us. The servers and bridal attendants were also attentive and went above and beyond to help finish set up when our florist left early. Our guests had incredibly kind things to say about the servers, and overall we had a great experience. It was also lovely to have a place that was a one stop shop for event planning! We did lose some decor in the shuffle which was an inconvenience, and some of the instructions for set up I left were not followed (our confetti got lost, only four guests got packets, the bridal suites did not have the supplies we left for them). My husband’s family were also really upset with one of the managers on property who wouldn’t allow them to walk in a covered area and was a bit rude about it, despite an event not happening and the rain being a torrential downpour causing unsafe conditions for his elderly family to walk in. Overall we had a great experience, and would recommend the castle to anyone planning a wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Lake House was phenomenal to work with. Getting married during a pandemic is stressful enough, but Paul and his team really made it as stress free as possible! The facility is lovely; large, classy, clean, and inviting. The staff was also friendly and courteous, and the food was absolutely fantastic! Carole the banquet manager took care of everything the day of my wedding so I did not have to worry about a thing! If I had any questions or a problem, Paul was quick to reply and even called me when necessary to make sure that our wedding went exactly the way we wanted it to. The flexibility of The Lake House was also great, I was able to make day-of decisions regarding an outdoor wedding and placement of decorations. What I also liked is ours was the only wedding that day, so we were able to use the whole facility, and the staff was dedicated to us the entire evening! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

I've been a wedding photographer on the North Fork for 10+ years and since The Halyard came on the scene it has quickly proven itself as a top event venue. Not only is the location itself like none other, literally hugging the water's edge, the food is beyond outstanding and the staff is wonderfully professional. The recent renovation under new ownership was so well done, featuring modern and nautical decor while maintaining the charm of the North Fork. The Halyard is connected with The Soundview Hotel making it a truly ideal wedding location, allowing couple's to relax without having to shuffle around on the big day. And no matter what light is given, the closeness to the sea at The Halyard ensures beautiful photos always. It's a special place on The North Fork and hands down my favorite waterfront venue.

The Boathouse Shelter Island 

5.0

Shelter Island, NY
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

The Boathouse Shelter Island is a private event space located on Shelter Island at the Island Boatyard and Marina. The recently renovated, 4,000 square foot space features over 200 feet of waterfront and incredible sunset views overlooking West Neck Harbor. The historic building, dating back to the 1920's, was originally used as boat storage. Today, it debuts a new look with versatility for any stylish event. Grammy award winning musician and East End resident Billy Joel recorded his album, River of Dreams, at The Boathouse in 1993.

Working with Megan and the boathouse team was a dream. They're attention to detail and willing to work with us as a couple and our vendors was unmatched. The venue itself is the perfect place to plan a wedding. It's a blank slate and so working with our event designers, we were able to create the most incredible reception space with views of the bay and a cocktail party that our guests are still talking about to this day. If I could relive our day at the Boathouse I would do it over and over again. I recommend this venue and the team that supports it to anyone who is looking to host a wedding out on long island or Shelter Island in particular.

Oakholm Farm Estate

Welcome to Oakholm Farm! Discover our rustic-glam, charming location, and rich history. We value connection with our customers and hope to be a reliable friend during this special time. Weddings at the farm can be casual, spiritually inspired, or elaborate with elegance. Imagine exchanging hand written wedding vows under a rustic solid pine arbor, with a beautiful backdrop of the peaceful Lake Quaboag, surrounded by the beauty of the farm with your closest friends and family. Maybe you imagine your wedding party goers enjoying a late campfire, dance party, a lingering after party under a sky full of stars or in the estate game room.

We loved Oakholm for our simple all-outdoor summer wedding. From the lakeside arbor ceremony site to the tent and patio, we and our guests loved the naturally gorgeous surroundings and private atmosphere. The mansion was perfect for the whole bridal party to get ready in, and the venue's staff were always professional, communicative, and helpful. Having the venue provide the bar service was one less additional vendor we had to deal with, which was also great. It was the perfect place for us to get married and dance the night away!
