The St. Clair Inn

We cannot say enough amazing things about our experience working with the St. Clair Inn for our wedding.

Obviously, the venue is beautiful. The historic charm of the Inn and views of the river create a stunning backdrop. All of our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous.

The staff was truly phenomenal. Samantha went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our day was flawless. They were so organized and professional throughout the entire process. When our photos ran late into cocktail hour, they seamlessly adjusted the reception timeline to make sure we still had time to enjoy everything. Martin even checked in during dinner to make sure I took a break from mingling to eat—a small but incredibly thoughtful gesture. Their dedication to ensuring everything went smoothly made all the difference.

One of the biggest advantages of the St. Clair Inn was the convenience it provided for us and our guests. Having everything in one location was a game-changer. The cottages were the perfect spot for getting ready, plenty of natural light (great for photos!). The Speakeasy was such a fun and unique place for everyone to gather the night before the wedding—it really set the tone for the weekend.

Our guests absolutely raved about their experience (especially the bar and bartenders!) Many of them stayed on-site and loved the ease of being able to walk back to their rooms at the end of the night. They also had a blast exploring the area during their downtime, enjoying the river walk, nearby restaurants, and, of course, the incredible views. So many of them shared stunning photos they took along the river, and it made us so happy to see how much they enjoyed themselves.

Finally, the food and service were top-notch. I’ve never seen guests so excited about a late night snack as they were for the coney dogs!

The St. Clair Inn truly made our wedding day perfect. We’re so grateful to have chosen this venue!!

Our experience at the St. Clair Inn was nothing short of amazing. From the very first visit we knew that the St. Clair Inn was exactly what we were looking for in our wedding venue. The venue itself is a perfect combination of historic and updated and it is right on the water. We were able to do our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and guestrooms all in one spot without the need for any transportation. The planning process with Samantha was great, she was so helpful, responsive and made everything so easy. The staff provided us fantastic service during the tasting and the wedding day itself. The food was fantastic. We really have nothing but fabulous things to say. Thank you so much and highly recommend this venue!!

Our vow renewal/ 20th Anniversary Party was held at the St. Clair Inn. We utilized the Inn for lodging, booking several rooms, using the “block” rate. There was an issue with the HVAC system for some rooms during our stay, but they were compensated for the inconvenience, which was greatly appreciated.
Our get together took place in the ballroom, with wonderful views of the river. Guests enjoyed watching barges and boats as they went by, adding to the venue’s ambiance.
All went smoothly; the efficient staff taking care of every detail from set up to tear down.
We served the Italian Buffet which was a hit, with many accolades from guests. Bar service was excellent; and all servers were very attentive and professional.
It was a pleasure to work with the sales staff…kudos to Samantha and Jhara! All in all, an outstanding experience. Highly recommend this venue. You won’t be disappointed!

The venue is absolutely beautiful and hard to beat the view along the water. They do offer a plan B in case of inclement weather in the 1926 room (providing it’s available and not booked for another function) and that room is equally as beautiful. The food was excellent as was the service, but if you’re looking for a low budget option, this may not be the best choice. They do offer quite a bit in the package which does make it comparable to other venues, however still on the pricey side. All in all I would still recommend The St. Clair Inn.

We truly loved having our wedding at this venue. It felt secluded, unique, and almost like a destination wedding without the travel or cost. The historic grounds are stunning, and having lodging, catering, bartending, and cake all in one place made things feel very convenient. Our rehearsal dinner was wonderful, the food and bartenders were fantastic, and the front-desk staff went out of their way to make the weekend special for us and our guests. The cottages were beautiful and such a relaxing place to get ready. We did experience some communication challenges throughout the planning process. The hotel transitioned to Marriott, and we weren’t notified directly, which led to confusion with guest bookings since the old and new systems didn’t match. Because we were still under our original contract, we also ran into a few instances where we were accidentally charged for items that were supposed to be included. Each time we brought it up, the team corrected it immediately, but it happened several times and added to the stress. We also received a new day-of coordinator later in the process, and some details didn’t seem to transfer over. I had to re-initiate communication about a month out, and a miscommunication about indoor ceremony seating 4 days before the wedding caused some unnecessary worry. Additionally, a youth hockey team was staying at the inn the same weekend, and neither group was told about the other. This led to noise complaints from the team and a few unsupervised kids wandering through our cocktail hour without staff intervention. I really do think this could have been a one off because of the ownership transition but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't frustrating at times. Even with these bumps, our actual wedding day was beautiful, the service was great, and the venue was unique and stunning. With smoother communication, this would easily be a five-star venue. We’re still so happy we chose it and would choose it again.
