Amazing Winter Wedding Experience!

The Inn at Longshore was the perfect choice for our wedding venue! Our coordinator Laina was amazing with helping us plan all the details and making suggestions. The food was incredible and our guests are still talking about it months later! And because we had an off season wedding we actually got to choose even more hors d’oeuvres for cocktail hour than we initially thought were included. We ended up having about 140 guests and the cocktail hour space was the perfect size, but Laina was super helpful and had also said we could open up the elevated section of the ballroom next to the cocktail hour space if we needed more room. The dinner itself was also amazing and the s’mores station outside was a great end to the night!

The property was also the most perfect location to take our wedding party, family, and bridal portraits! We were so happy to have an unseasonably warm, sunny January day for our wedding and were able to take photos down by the water, but again Laina was very helpful in letting us know where we could set up to take portraits inside if it had been very cold or raining or snowing!

Additionally it was so helpful for us to be able to stay at the Inn after our wedding! We ended up booking all the rooms and it was so nice for us and for our close friends and family to just head upstairs after the wedding rather than having to travel to a different hotel. Overall we loved working with The Inn at Longshore and would recommend it to anyone looking for a venue in Connecticut!

Wedding review

I cannot thank the Inn at Longshore enough for such a beautiful wedding!!!!!!! I’m a NJ girl who decided to do a New England coastal wedding. I never been to this venue before so I took a risk when I found it on Instagram and decided after a tour that this was the spot. I can’t say enough how they were an absolute dream to work with! They went above and beyond !!!!!!!!!! Always easy to communicate with. Unfortunately it rained on my wedding day and we had to convert everything last minute to inside but the way they still made the day absolutely perfect- I have no words! The food was amazing! Everything was just perfect thanks to the inn at Longshore team! And of course a special shout out to our coordinator Brian who also was an absolute dream to work with !!!!!!!!! Thank you! We love you guys!!!

Best day of our lives!

Our wedding at the Inn at Longshore was by far the best day of our lives. Everything was top notch- the venue is set on the Long Island Sound and feels like you are getting married in Cape Cod. The food was INCREDIBLE, we added a sushi bar for cocktail hour which was a big hit with the guests and even the steak at dinner was really good which is rare at a wedding. The staff was incredible, from the wait staff to the awesome bartenders who were knowledgeable and efficient making great drinks. And lastly, we cannot thank our coordinator Brian enough for help making our dream a reality. We had zero stress leading up to and on our wedding day because Brian took care of everything for us. Would recommend Longshore to any person looking to get married in the NY/CT area.

Best Day of our Lives!!!

BOOK THIS VENUE! I cannot recommend the Inn at Longshore enough. The staff, the view, the location, every single thing about this place blew my expectations out of the water. From the moment we toured the venue with Christine, I knew we had to have our wedding at Longshore. Leading up to the wedding, our coordinator, Kristen, was so helpful in answering all of my crazy detailed questions without batting an eye. I felt so comfortable by the day of the wedding; Kristen made sure even the finest of details were paid attention to. We got married at the beginning of September, and the staff worked tirelessly to make our day absolutely perfect. That’s not to say things didn’t go wrong the day of! Our best man ended up ripping his pants and one of our bridesmaids split the zipper on her dress. Immediately, one of the Inn’s staff members, Angelica, jumped in and sewed everyone’s outfits back together! I couldn’t believe it. During cocktail hour, an espresso martini was accidentally spilled on my dress, and once again Angelica jumped in to help right away! She spent a solid 30-45 minutes with us scrubbing the stain out in the bathroom, steaming and ironing my dress, to the point that you would never even notice something had happened. I will be telling the story of how Angelica saved our wedding day for the rest of my life. The staff at The Inn at Longshore truly treated us like members of their family, and it’s safe to say we all felt it.
The phenomenal staff aside, the food was INCREDIBLE! For cocktail hour we had eight different types of passed hors d’oeuvres, pizza, bruschetta, and a raw bar! People have been raving about it to me constantly since the wedding. The dinner food was consistently delicious, and the desserts were a huge hit. Multiple people have told me they kept going back to ask for more dessert!
I cannot think of a single thing I would change about our wedding day. The Inn at Longshore made it the best day of our lives, and I will never get over it! Like I said, BOOK IT!

The most amazing venue & team

We got married on July 23, 2023 and could not have had the most perfect wedding day. The Inn at Longshore is a beautiful waterfront venue with the most amazing team and delicious food. From our venue tour with Christine through our wedding day with Laina we could not have been more impressed. Laina was extremely responsive, creative & flexible. She truly helped to bring our vision to life all while keeping things fun. Our guests are still raving about our food and bar service, this team truly knows how to throw a spectacular wedding. I still crave the lamb chops and mini lobster rolls we had at cocktail hour!!! I could not recommend this venue or this team enough. THANK YOU.

Amazing Wedding!

We couldn't be happier we chose this wedding venue. From the atmosphere to the staff, everything turned out better than we could have hoped for! Our coordinator, Laina, was amazing- she was so nice, personable, and helpful from start to finish- she truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day as seamless as possible. Our guests were raving about the scenery on the water and the cocktail hour with the passed apps as well as how attentive all the bartenders and catering staff were. We are still in awe at how perfectly everything came together and we are so thankful for all of the support from the whole staff at the Inn at Longshore! We can't wait to continue to make visits here in the future and look back on our wedding day!

Please have your wedding here!

It is difficult to put into words how absolutely perfect this venue is. From the starting process, Christine was so helpful in booking and even let my parents take the venue tour as I live across the country. Kristen, our wedding coordinator, and Takeya were absolute dreams. They made sure every single step of my wedding went as smoothly as possible. My wedding day fell on a very windy day and while we were taking photos, my wedding arch came crashing to the floor and broke into a million pieces. Kristen had her PARENTS who are florists come to the Inn to fix it. I literally went into a panic but Kristen didn't bat an eyelash and literally saved the day. My guests could not stop talking about how incredible the food was and how great the staff was. The wait staff made it their mission to seek me out and make sure I always had something to eat. I could go on forever about this venue. They made my dream wedding come true and I will be forever grateful to them!!!!!

Beautiful Venue with Amazing Staff!

Our wedding at the Inn at Longshore was like a fairy tale! We picked the Inn at Longshore for its charming ballroom and outdoor cocktail area with gorgeous backdrop overlooking the ocean. Outside of the Inn’s beauty the food at our wedding was delicious. The Inn provided us with so many fun options to choose from especially for our passed hors d’oeuvres and desserts. The menu that we were able to create felt very personal and we received so many compliments from our guests on how tasty our food was. If the gorgeous venue and outstanding food was not enough, what really puts this venue over the top are all the amazing people that work there. We cannot say enough great things about Laina, our wedding coordinator. She responded quickly to all our questions and was so patient with us, offering great advice as we went through the planning process. Laina was very accommodating making sure our dream wedding became a reality. On our wedding day, Laina took care of us and our guests making sure that event ran smoothly. She is so easy to get along with and while working with her it felt like we were working with a friend that we had known for a long time. We also had the pleasure of working with Christine, Takeya, Adam, Gabriella, Ty, and countless other staff at the Inn who went above and beyond to make our day so special. We could not thank each and every one of them enough for their hard work and support. We truly had the best day ever and wish that we could do it all over again!

Get married at longshore!

My husband and I got married at Longshore this past weekend, and it was absolutely incredible. Working with Longshore from day 1 had been so easy and seamless. They were always available to answer questions, and made sure that we were happy. They have wonderful vendor recommendations, an amazing menu of options to choose from, and of course the space itself is just gorgeous.
Everyone we worked with at Longshore was fantastic. Special thanks for Kristen our wedding coordinator for making everything so special. Go for the wood fire oven pizza if it is available for your event--it is delicious!!
Would highly highly recommend anyone in the Westchester/Fairfield county areas to look at Longshore for their wedding or any other event.

BEST wedding venue with incredible staff!

We couldn’t have made a better decision than to have our wedding at The Inn At Longshore. The space: simple, elegant, with beautiful grounds - located right on the water. Even with an April wedding (on the colder side) it was beautiful! It allows you to do whatever you want and decorate to your tastes. Honestly, you don’t need to bring in a whole lot to make the space look beautiful. The staff: the entire staff was so kind, helpful, and attentive - we didn't have to worry about anything and were fully taken care of all day. From the moment we stepped onto the premises the team at the inn took care of everything. The food: i cannot express how many compliments we got on the food. Wedding food can be meh but our guests raved about the cocktail hour and aid the steak was perfectly cooked! If you’re thinking about it, book it. This place is incredible!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
