Our experience at the St. Clair Inn was nothing short of amazing. From the very first visit we knew that the St. Clair Inn was exactly what we were looking for in our wedding venue. The venue itself is a perfect combination of historic and updated and it is right on the water. We were able to do our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and guestrooms all in one spot without the need for any transportation. The planning process with Samantha was great, she was so helpful, responsive and made everything so easy. The staff provided us fantastic service during the tasting and the wedding day itself. The food was fantastic. We really have nothing but fabulous things to say. Thank you so much and highly recommend this venue!!

We recently had our ceremony & reception on the Ovation yacht and it was over and above our expectations. The entire planning process was easy and well communicated. Day of - fantastic! Coming from someone who is usually the orchestrator of events, giving that up to someone you just met was not easy, until we met Christie & Faith, they both took care of every last detail throughout the night. Faith gave us phenomenal service and everything was perfect! Our guests are still raving about our wedding and the delicious food.
