We were married at the Riverview in late June 2023. From the start we knew this was going to be a great venue. Maureen was so helpful with our venue tour, she was professional and showed experience in the wedding industry. Kayla our coordinator was also amazing. She was available throughout the planning process to answer all questions. The day of the rehearsal Kayla was organized and attentive to the details we had provided. The day of the wedding Kayla was on top of all the details and we did not have to worry about a thing. Our bridal attendants went above and beyond the day of the wedding to make sure everything was running smoothly. The food was fantastic! Our guests could not stop raving about how good the food was. This venue was beautiful outside with the lush gardens and river back drop. We would highly recommend this venue for your big day.

The staff are professional and helpful. We used the house DJ who was excellent and takes advantage of the built in sound system. Our ceremony was outside by the water and beautiful. Food was plentiful and delicious. Also- there is only one event at a time, which is ideal. Our guests had an amazing time. They think of everything. Service was excellent. No complaints

It was amazing to work with Pachaug Cottages as their caterer for Amy & Samir's wedding! Beautiful spot to be! The venue was well thought out and provided tables, chairs, ceremony benches, and cook tent. It was such a pleasure to work with the Pachaug team and can't wait to work with them again in the future!

Saint Clements Castle 

5.0

Portland, CT
  • Up to 260 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

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!
