    The destination without destination wedding venue

    Anthony's Oceanview was our second venue we toured summer of 2022 and as soon as we walked through we knew this was the place we would have our wedding at.

    We had our wedding Sep 29th 2023, it was a rainy day. Brian and his staff did amazing work accommodating for the best view, and space for an aisle.
    Sometime later the rain stopped and we were able to sneak out and take some amazing night time photos on the beach underneath the palm trees.
    All of our guests raved about the high quality of food and the amount of it. There was so much of it.
    We were bummed about the rain, but Anthony's Oceanview came through and did fantastic job making our special day amazing.

    Highly recommend this venue to others.

    Anthony's Ocean View's reply:

    Thank You!! We are so glad you and Caitlin still had the perfect wedding!! Thank you for letting Anthony's be a part of it!

    Beautiful and amazing!

    We utilized Anthony’s ocean view for our wedding reception and we could not be more grateful. First we worked with Andrew who was an amazing person. Made us feel super comfortable when selecting our package and did not pressure us into getting any “specific package” he was so easy to work with. Unfortunately he no longer works for Anthony’s, so we started working with Marcello who was also a pleasure to work with. He was very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and was very friendly. We booked several appointments throughout the months leading up to our wedding to go over EVERYTHING and he was amazing. We ate dinner there a few times in between and their food is to die for. Presentation, quality and quantity are amazing. The day of our wedding we walked into an amazing and truly beautiful venue. We could not have asked for more. Not to mention their prices are extremely competitive. Their staff was on top of cleaning up immediately after yet, not rushing us. Our guests loved the food. We will be utilizing Anthony’s for our date night dinners!

    Perfect Day!

    Our wedding was perfect. From beginning to end the staff at Anthony’s Oceans View made our day memorable and joyful. Food was amazing and the ceremony on the beach was breath taking. If I could get married again to my husband I would do it all over again at Anthony’s Ocean’s View.

    Exceptional service

    We met with caterina to book our venue and were very happy. She was friendly, answered many of our questions and explained the best decisions on decor for our time of year while saving us money. We didn't even look at another venue and booked right away!!

    Smooth Turn-key Operation!!

    I was born & raised in Clinton, CT, moved to Michigan a few years ago, and having my wedding in CT on the beach has always been a dream. Living so far away from my wedding location always felt challenging to plan, well I was COMPLETELY wrong! Anthony’s ocean view has outdid themselves.

    When I was first looking at Venues I booked a walk through of Anthony’s and met with Consultant Andrew (amazing person 🤗) in Oct 2018, this man is one of the best. He will go into details about how at ease Anthony’s makes you feel on your wedding day. Every single thing Andrew explained to me at our first meeting, happened! Living in Michigan and planning my wedding in CT was honestly so smooth, not a hiccup from day 1 of meeting Andrew to the night I walked out the door of Anthony’s on my wedding night. He answered every email with quick response, was patient and accommodating with how far I lived. He made great recommendations for DJs, and preferred vendors, and showed me how a bride and groom are suppose to enjoy their wedding day, and that’s what we got to do. Planning this wedding was so fun!

    Anthony’s allows you to drop off bins and they will set up all your wedding day items (entry table, guest book, easels for signs, toiletry baskets, etc) and put them exactly where you want them. This part was amazing for me. I wanted to just show up and enjoy my day, and that’s what I did.

    Our wedding day was July 4th 2019, we had our ceremony on paradise beach and reception in the paradise room upstairs. Highly recommend getting married at Anthonys beach, the pictures are epic, your guests will thank you! We had 100 guests.

    We got introduced to Thomas as our coordinator for the day, this man is so professional and his demeanor is spot on. He made our night run so smooth, we made some last minute changes to our schedule so our photographer could get sunset photos, & firework photos, and Thomas professionally communicated this to all the vendors about the changes and it was so smooth. He made my wedding party feel at ease when instructing them to walk down the aisle. My parents loved him! So did I 🥰, the day couldn’t have been as smooth without Thomas!

    Our maître d’ for the night was Elisa, this girl was on point👌🏽, she was the nicest girl and was so professional as well. She held my dress up as we prepare to walk down the aisle, every time I or my husband turned around, she was there asking if we needed water, drink, food, help, anything! She helped my wedding party if they needed anything, it was a hot day, and she was there with water whenever we needed it. Thank you Elisa!

    The food is to die for, the atmosphere and location is out of this world, you feel like you are sipping drinks on a tropical vacation in Tulum Mexico 😂, the service level of every single person I interacted with was so professional. They clean up all your items and put them back in your bins. My guests have been raving about this wedding.

    If you are a bride that wants to thoroughly enjoy your wedding day, and not worry about 1 single small detail, you have to book this venue. I loved my wedding, I loved planning it, I loved every minute of my day! Andrew, Thomas, Elisa and the entire crew at Anthony’s Ocean View, thank you for creating the most unforgettable wedding experience!
    Peace ✌🏾 & Good vibes 🤙🏽 To you all!!

    Phenomenal!

    Anthony’s Ocean View did a phenomenal job for my wedding! Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish! The staff is so attentive and the mater D’s make sure everything is running perfectly! The food is phenomenal and you certainly do not leave hungry!

    The outside patio on the water is a selling point and it certainly is a destination wedding In CT! The sunset makes for awesome pictures too!

    Words can't describe how awesome the Anthony's wedding planning team was. Andrew was our lead organizer, and he went away above and beyond to make sure all of the requirements and requests that we made throughout the pre-wedding duration were satisfied and accommodated. He knows how to work with large parties (Kavita's parents were working with him while the wedding couple was in Boston to answer any questions that need to be answered. And not to mention the food was met with outstanding reviews from the guests.

    I wish I wasn't so limited with space on here because there is so much I want to say. First off if you are THINKING about booking Anthony's JUST DO IT. You will not regret it. The day was exactly like I pictured because of this venue and their outstanding staff. Marchello, Vin and Anna, you made our day so special (Rame-Barber Wedding July 14th, 2017) Anna our bridal assistant did everything for me that day, she was truly my angel that day! Marchello and Vin were so cool! They were really the calm to my crazy that day and just made the night so so special. Marchello catered to myself and my groom, he brought us shots, and made sure we had plates of food! Vin coordinated packing up all of my centerpieces and special items we brought to the venue and made sure it was packed well, and we were stress free the entire night. Let me talk about food now... HOLY COW you truly get so much food, and let me tell you every single dish was 5 star! We have guests 3 weeks later STILL talking about how amazing the food was and how this was THE BEST wedding they have ever been too. I know people may say this but our families are pretty hard to please when you have Italians right off the boat, it means a lot. Get a cigar roller, it adds a little something special to your night, and it's FUN! I had a cigar that night and it was seriously the best. There was nothing bad about Anthony's at all, everything was beyond excellent. I wish I could relive the day over and over. Andrew was our wedding consultant and guided us through everything, he made sure we understood what we were getting, Cheryl, Kat, Jason and Thomas are other staff members that just made it EASY to plan a wedding, and everyone is SO NICE. I want to just get married all over again so I can have another day at Anthony's. Thank you so much Anthony's Ocean View, Book here if you want to feel like a King and Queen the day of your wedding, and have guests raving about your special day!

    They did an amazing job from setting up, food service, cocktail hour, to end of the night cleanup. Everyone on staff was very personable, and Anna who was our personal server for us was outstanding! All of our guests enjoyed the all the food, and said the place rocked for those who had never been there before. This was our destination wedding ceremony and reception since we live out of state, but all our families and friends live in CT. Special thanks to Andrew for helping us to set everything up, and Marchello who was there to make sure it was perfect on our day!
