Best experience ever!

We are so grateful for our experience at Saybrook Point! We had the best late fall wedding we could have asked for. From the day we toured the venue, we felt like the staff at Saybrook Point really cared to make us feel at home. Abbey took care of us and brought such a calm energy to the day that was so appreciated and needed! Every staff member we met made us feel so special and taken care of. When the weather was looking uncertain, Abbey ensured we would we have the best experience no matter what. Chuck ran around wrapping his coat around me when I got cold outside on the docks in between photos. That's the kind of warm and truly kind people of Saybrook Point Resort. They accommodated all our allergy and dietary restrictions seemingly effortlessly and the chef made a special meal that is not on the menu for us and it was incredible! Our guests raved about the food, the hotel rooms and the service. We were so happy our guests felt so taken care of that the weekend served as a mini vacation and getaway for them too. We loved how dog friendly Saybrook point is so that our doggo could join us for the ceremony, cocktail hour and after party! It's truly a memory we will cherish forever.

If you're looking for a coastal venue that knows what they're doing, has seen every challenge and can take care of you and your guests no matter what - Saybrook Point if the place for you. It's the perfect blend of luxury and coastal coziness we were looking for. We cannot wait to come back and celebrate our anniversary here! Thank you, Abbey, Chuck, Jen, Rebecca, Amy and the rest of the Saybrook Point Resort staff.

A Dream Wedding!

Saybrook Point Resort & Marina truly became the wedding venue of our dreams. From the moment we arrived, we could feel how special and full of charm this place is. The views are stunning, the team is attentive, and every single detail felt effortless from start to finish. Abby and Meredith were incredible — they worked flawlessly with our planner, Nicole from Pretty Peony Planning, and together they made everything look seamless.
We booked the guest houses for our wedding parties to get ready, and it was one of the best choices we made. The private, cozy, and beautiful spaces made the morning feel joyful, calm, and personal. It felt like home — but with more space and more luxury. It felt like we were getting ready in a real life dollhouse! Being just steps away from the venue while still having our own space was the perfect way to start the day.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food, the setting and how flawlessly everything ran. The service was amazing (no one had to wait long for a drink!) and every detail was handled with care. If you’re looking for a picturesque location, exceptional service, delicious food and a team who truly knows how to create a magical wedding experience, Saybrook Point is it. We could not imagine a better place to begin our forever — and we can’t wait to come back and celebrate our anniversaries by the marina! - Brooke & Greg 11.15.25

Amazing Autumn Wedding

My husband and I married and had our cocktail hour and reception at Saybrook Point Resort & Marina. I couldn’t speak highly enough about how much we enjoyed our experience and loved our wedding here. Meredith and Abbey were incredibly helpful and easy to work with, answering every question and guiding us every step of the way in planning a wedding perfect for us. It is a beautiful space, indoor and out, which made selecting this venue easier not knowing how the weather could be on event day. We lucked out and the weather was gorgeous, so we were able to make use of inside and outside areas. The food is excellent, which was another priority in venue selection. A cherry on top was the inclusion of two nights at the inn for me and my husband the nights before and after our wedding. It was a lovely suite with ample space to prep for the Big Day and relax afterwards. Every member of the staff from events and catering to front desk and restaurant was friendly and attentive. We felt comfortable and confident having such an important occasion at this wonderful venue. I am forever grateful that we chose Saybrook Point for a day we won’t forget!

Wonderful and informative tour

Although, I didn't end up picking this venue for my wedding due to elderly guests, I absolutely loved the touring experience and the ideas Meredith came up with to accommodate the wedding planning. The professionalism, warmth, flexibility and beautiful property were on point!

Maybe I'll have an anniversary party there in the future.

Thank you, Meredith!

Best waterfront venue in CT!

Abbey and her staff were amazing to work with. There was so much flexibility to be able to make it our own. Food, service, accommodations, cocktail hour options ... everything was perfect. We are so happy we were able to celebrate our day at Saybrook Point!! 10/10!

Wedding - August 2024

I will forever be grateful for Saybrook and the staff that was a part of my wedding day in August of 2024. I anticipated the wedding planning to be stressful but Abbey at Saybrook made everything so easy, she was always a step ahead and thought of every single detail to ensure my day was perfect. Abbey was constantly in contact and available for the endless questions I had for her! Day of my wedding she stuck by my side all day and made sure everything went smoothly, going above and beyond in every situation and handled it all gracefully. The staff at Saybrook were top notch and my guests were blown away by their attentiveness to ensure everyone's experience throughout the night was perfect. My wedding day would not have been so perfect if it weren't for Abbey and her amazing team!

Dream Wedding Reception at Saybrook Point!

Absolutely Perfect!

It's not an exaggeration to say that everything about our wedding experience with Saybrook Point was perfect. The venue is gorgeous, the food is phenomenal, and everyone we had the pleasure of working with there was delightful. Our onsite coordinator, Abbey, was incredibly supportive, responsive, and organized throughout the entire planning process. From every interaction I had with her, I knew I could trust her to handle and execute every detail of our vision for the big day, and she did a stellar job. Her assistant, Rebecca, was also a huge help on our wedding day and I'm especially grateful for how she directed my detailed music timing during the ceremony. We adored all of the staff we worked with at Saybrook Point. They made sure that my dad had accessible transportation for all wedding events, handled all of our guests' questions, and ensured that our bridal party was well taken care of throughout the weekend. In particular, we appreciated Chris for being our rock in reception, Vincent for his beautiful warmth and enthusiasm as he cared for our guests, and Jen for going above and beyond to ensure that my husband and I were comfortable throughout our wedding day. I looked at several coastal New England venues in my search for the perfect location, and none of them came close to providing the level of service and attention to detail that Saybrook Point Resort did. I wish I could give Saybrook a thousand stars, and I recommend them as an event venue without reservation. We loved it there so much, in fact, that we plan to return annually for an anniversary weekend getaway. We are so grateful for everything and can't wait to return!

Dream Team

I was a wedding planner for a client who had already booked this venue prior to me coming on. I WAS THRILLED TO WORK WITH THEM! Danielle and JoAnne were respectful, ready to help, and professional the entire time. Jenn the Bridal attendant was on top of the day making sure the couple had what they needed and also communicated about expectations and timeline with me! The Chef and Aaron was so accommodating to the photographers needs and feeding the vendors which was much appreciated. Andrea was a delight at the ice cream bar and is true my so talented!

The transportation vendor booked by the client directly never showed up and the manager of the hotel got their shuttle and did the job on the spot. Talk about saving the day and flexibility! The guest got here safe and efficiently!

At the end of the night we had a few vendors stranded due to no u era and the staff took care of every last one to get them safely to their hotels.

I can not say enough about this staff.
I am so excited for the next time I can work with them!

The most amazing wedding venue we could have asked for

My husband and I got married at Saybrook Point Inn last weekend and the venue was a BIG part of why our special day was so perfect. Danielle Bailey (the wedding coordinator at Saybrook Point) and the rest of the team there was so helpful and attentive to us from the moment we decided to make that our venue. Everything was so organized and our wedding day was flawless at Saybrook Point. It ended up raining and even hailing on our wedding night, and Saybrook Point provided not just one, but TWO backup options for us so I wasn’t even upset in the slightest about the weather. The food was incredible and Saybrook Point set up the most beautiful ceremony and reception for us and our guests. If you love being by the water like my husband and I do, Saybrook Point Inn is the perfect place to get married!! I HIGHLY recommend this venue and you must go look at it if you are engaged!!!! 💙💙
