About this venue

Nestled in a scenic nook of Branford, The Owenego has welcomed guests to Connecticut’s spectacular shoreline since 1847. Often referred to as a “hidden gem,” the inn is steeped in history, while offering the amenities of today. Beautifully situated on a grassy knoll that overlooks expansive views of Long Island Sound, The Owenego is a uniquely beautiful location in which to say, “I Do!” to a lifetime of tomorrows.

The Owenego Inn

Join the tradition… Celebrate your love at The Owenego.

Many couples choose to exchange their vows on the lawn, with our enchanting waterfront garden and Long Island Sound providing a magical backdrop. After the ceremony, many of our bridal parties kick off their heels and slide on their sparkly flipflops for beach photos and dancing. While we can be as formal and fancy as you would like, we specialize in casually elegant, beachfront weddings. The Owenego Inn has been the home to many beautiful weddings throughout the years. We can accommodate up to two hundred guests for a sit-down dinner. For a dinner buffet, seating is limited to one hundred fifty guests. With a cocktail buffet, the Inn can accommodate a maximum of 130 guests. In all instances, we require a minimum guarantee of one hundred persons.
