About

On WeddingWire since 2011

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.

The main estate hosts the Waterford Room and Prince Edward Ballroom. The Waterford Room embraces warm charm like no other space in Connecticut. This space features historic architectural details and a refined ambiance with its Waterford Crystal chandeliers and brand new hardwood floors. The character and charm of this space is perfect for a monumental evening of celebration. The Prince Edward Ballroom, known for its elegant ambiance and timeless design, features eight Firenze crystal chandeliers and coffered ceilings. The neutral and airy vibe of this space allows you to bring your personal dream event to life.

Our most recent addition, River’s Edge Ballroom, is nestled in the Saint Clements Marina and offers a contemporary coastal vibe in the tranquil riverside setting. The natural light, brought in by the wall-to-wall windows, only accentuates the contrast between the lofted oak beams and the sparkling crystal chandeliers. This space is perfect for anyone looking for an intimate event where the river is always in sight.

Saint Clements Castle has earned a reputation of an elevated and enchanting setting perfect for all things in life worth celebrating. Elevating the dining experience, the castle proudly sources its culinary ingredients from local purveyors, ensuring a menu that not only delights the palate but also promotes sustainability and community support. With a dedication to freshness, Saint Clements Castle invites guests to savor the flavors of thoughtfully curated, locally-inspired creations, where each bite tells a story.

Saint Clements Castle and Marina’s location, in central Connecticut, is easily accessible as a midpoint from the New York City and Boston areas. This location makes it a convenient choice for those looking for a sophisticated and accessible event venue for guests across New England. The entire estate seamlessly blends historic elegance with breathtaking natural beauty.

Magical venue

Our wedding at Saint Clements Castle was nothing short of magical. The Waterford is absolutely breathtaking, and the service at Saint Clements has been remarkable.

Saint Clements took care of everything for us from the start. Shelby helped us stay organized from the day we booked the venue to the day of the wedding, ensuring we didn't miss or forget anything. Her communication with us via email was smooth, efficient, and very responsive. Saint Clements was also very accommodating to all our requests.

On the day of the wedding, they made sure all our guests were taken care of, attending to all the little details. They managed everything for us, from setting up the decor to taking it down and organizing it for us to take home. The staff is incredibly friendly. We had the pleasure of working with Shelby and Kate, both of whom are wonderful people. The staff at Saint Clements Castle went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care made the planning process seamless and stress-free. Everything flowed flawlessly, thanks to their coordination.

We highly recommend Saint Clements Castle to any couple looking for a venue that combines elegance, beauty, and exceptional service.

Dream Venue

St. Clements was an absolute dream! From start to finish Shelby made everything a seamless stress free process. The venue is breathtaking and includes so much of the check list for the big day. I can not recommend this place enough. All of the guests were just as taken away as we were from day one. Easiest choice of this entire process. 10/10 all around.

Best day of our lives!

Rebecca, Autumn, Lauren and the rest of the staff at Saint Clements helped us have the most amazing and special day of our lives. Rebecca was so responsive with all of our requests throughout the whole planning process and Lauren and Autumn worked so hard to make sure everything went smooth the day of. We had an unexpected storm pass through as soon as we were supposed to start the outdoor ceremony and they got everyone under the tent in a timely manner and were able to keep basically everything on schedule after that. The food is amazing, the Waterford ballroom is beautiful, the staff is so nice and helpful. My husband and I highly recommend having your wedding here!!
