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.

20 out of 10 experience!!

I’ve gone to a few events at Saint Clements before and each time I was amazed at the beauty of the venue. And now, for our wedding, my wife and I were absolutely blown away! The grounds are so well maintained, the natural esthetic of the building, and the details they provide couldn’t have been better!

To say the staff made the planning process, and day of, smooth is an understatement! Being out of state we had a lot of questions and reah outs. Rebecca and the whole staff were extremely accommodating, helpful, and friendly. My wife and I appreciated how responsive they all were.

If you’re looking for an event space, especially a wedding, I HIGHLY recommend Saint Clements. 20 out of 10 experience!!

Absolutely perfect

Saint Clements was the perfect venue for us! We absolutely loved the Waterford Ballroom and the outdoor ceremony area. They thought of every detail and we felt very comfortable that they knew exactly what to do to make things go smoothly. They were responsive to our questions leading up to the wedding day and extremely kind and accommodating the day-of. They even sourced chocolate milk for us to have as a specialty cocktail which was a great personal touch that we and our guests both loved. Multiple people have told us that our wedding is the best one they've ever been to and it was everything we could have dreamed of. We couldn't have asked for better service or a more beautiful location to tie the knot!

Where Fairytales Come True: A Castle Wedding Fit for a Queen!

Saint Clements Castle is an absolutely breathtaking venue to get married and celebrate! The team puts incredible effort into maintaining the stunning landscape and fine details, ensuring everything is perfect for your big day. From the moment we booked to the wedding day itself, they were by our side, easing our stress and addressing any concerns with quick, responsive communication.

We worked with Alyssa throughout the planning process, and she was fantastic. On the wedding day, Lauren stepped in and was ready to help with anything we needed. The food was phenomenal—I’ve had multiple guests rave about it—and so many people said it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever attended.

My only small complaint was that the cocktail hour appetizer stations were a bit too spread out. If they had been closer together, I think more guests would have sampled the amazing food.

I never imagined I’d get married at a castle, but here I was, living my dream, and Saint Clements was the perfect place to feel like a queen!
