Brooke M. Sent on 07/06/2022Beyond our wildest expectations
My Husband(!) and I got married here over this past weekend and words cannot describe how phenomenal the experience was. Quick background on us— we go to A LOT of weddings (like average of 15 weddings a year for the past 5 years- A LOT) so not only do we have a lot of experience with wedding venues, but our guests do too. We knew people would tell us how beautiful the venue was (and it IS absolutely stunning) but it is the first time we have ever heard our friends specify the incredible level of service they received at someone else’s wedding venue. We had dinner with a large group of our guests the night after our wedding and every single one went out of their way to tell us how blown away they were by the staff and service. We heard all types of very specific feedback— everything from “it was the most food I’ve ever seen at a cocktail hour” to “in all the black tie weddings I’ve been to no one has ever asked me how I wanted my steak cooked before” to “the bartender was so amazing I complimented her on her glitter eyeshadow and she literally gave me some to put on.” Every single person on the Castle staff went above and beyond anything any of our guests have experienced despite most of our friends being what we refer to as “professional wedding guests.” :)
Pam, Lindsey, Jenna and the entire Saint Clements staff were a joy to be around and extremely attentive not only to our own needs, but to the needs of all 160 guests we had in the Waterford Ballroom.
The food was PHENOMENAL. The property was BREATHTAKING and the service was beyond our wildest expectations. Best decision we’ve ever made was chowing this venue. Truly the best night of our lives.Saint Clements Castle & Marina's reply:
Brooke, thank you so much for taking time out of your day to let us know about your experience here! We could not be more thrilled to hear all your and your guest’s positive feedback. We strive as a team here at Saint Clements to always go above and beyond to make sure that every single person at the wedding is having an amazing time. We are so pleased to hear that our efforts translated to both you and your guest so well. We will definitely be letting Pam, Lindsey, and Jenna know how much you enjoyed your time. We are proud to receive such high praises from “professional wedding guests”! Congratulations! -

Brittny M. Sent on 07/25/2022Absolutely incredible !
Saint Clement’s Castle was more than we ever dreamed of. It was a true fairy tale of a day. The venue was absolutely beautiful. The amount of compliments we received not only on the beauty, but also the incredible staff at Saint Clements speaks volumes. The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly. Everyone we worked with whether the day of or while planning were responsive and accommodating. We had our final meeting two days before the wedding to review all of the final details. We brought in our box filled with decor, placement cards, etc and it was beautifully displayed the day of to enhance what the castle already has to offer. Pam messaged me weeks after our wedding checking in on the status of my father in law because she knew he was not well. She continually sent her love and prayers as soon as she found out. We cannot wait to go back to Saint Clement’s as a guest at another wedding to be able to soak everything in again from a different standpoint. The food was fantastic, cocktail hour and our meal choices. We didn’t want everyone sitting at the table for hours eating their meal so our coordinator had recommended doing the pasta course at cocktail hour as a station. We loved this idea!Saint Clements Castle & Marina's reply:
Brittny, your kind words about the staff, process, and details of your wedding are warming our hearts over here at the castle! We are so thankful that you took the time to let us know how much the little things meant to you. We will make sure to let Pam know that you appreciated her kind words. We want to congratulate you on your day and cannot wait to see you as a guest here in the future! -

Pam, Ashley, Katelynn, and everyone at Saint Clements made our day amazing! My husband and I couldn’t thank them enough for all their hard work. They were our biggest cheerleaders for our wedding theme: The Legend of Zelda. Pam was amazing with handling any last minute changes that came our way! Ashley helped coordinate us throughout our day and made the day flow perfectly. Thank you again Saint Clements!!! Highly Recommend!!!Saint Clements Castle & Marina's reply:

Emily G. Sent on 01/22/2022Best wedding EVER!
My husband and I got married at Saint Clements Castle on January 15th, 2022. We had so much fun!! It was honestly the best wedding I’ve ever been to, and I’m not just saying that cause it was my wedding.
We originally booked our wedding with Saint Clements Castle before Covid, and had to postpone because of Covid. They were so flexible and the postponing process was seamless. I kept hearing nightmare postponing or wedding cancelation stories from other people and Saint Clements was so understanding and so easy to work with.
The weeks/days leading up to the wedding they were also so flexible with our last minute cancellations, due to Covid. So much so, that at our final appointment they asked who else had canceled on us, and accommodated us. They were so understanding and truly wonderful. Huge shout out to Pam!!
Day of the wedding, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful wedding!! It was like a fairy tale. The whole team the day of made everything so easy and stress free for us. They told us where to go and when so we didn’t have to worry about anything. They made sure we had enough to eat, and had a drink in our hand. Even now our guests keep texting us saying it was one the best weddings they’ve every been to. Highly recommend Saint Clements Castle for any couple!!!
P.S. the espresso enhancement is amazing! It was a huge hit!Saint Clements Castle & Marina's reply:
Emily,
We can truly appreciate how challenging the planning process was for you. We are so glad to hear that we were able to alleviate some of your stress! Congratulations and we can't wait to see your wedding photos!

This is an absolutely AMAZING venue. It is breathtaking just upon driving in, and the waterfront view is outstanding. Saint Clements staff were extremely helpful throughout the wedding planning process and very responsive to any questions. Everyone was amazing the day of and helped make the day run so smoothly. The flowers around are stunning based on the seasons, and the views are incredible. The food and drinks were great and there is so much to choose from. Everyone loved their time here. We truly could not have asked for a better place to get married!Saint Clements Castle & Marina's reply:

We got married at Saint Clements in September and it was a dream come true. Unfortunately due to COVID we had to postpone a year but Saint Clements and their team made rescheduling easy.
This venue is a one stop shop and makes the whole planning process so easy. They offer competitive priced packages which includes a ceremony site, 3 course meal, dessert, and alcohol. They also have so many enhancements that you can add to make it even better. The grounds are meticulously maintained and make for the perfect back drop.
We were married on the waterford side and the ballroom is so beautiful. You don’t even need that many decorations because the place speaks for itself. Also, the team was so helpful while planning and day of. Can’t thank them enough for everything they did.Saint Clements Castle & Marina's reply:
Sydney,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience of your special day and our venue overall! We love, love, love reading our couples thoughts as to how they envisioned their wedding and the actual outcome! Congratulations! -

Best wedding venue!!
I cannot say enough about Saint Clements both the location and the staff. We visited Saint Clements right before Covid and my husband and I immediately fell in love. The ground are beautiful. We chose to have our wedding in the Prince Edward side because we got the best of both world. We took our first look pictures by the dock, got married in the garden, and then had the amazing tavern for cocktail hour. The bridal suite for the prince Edward side is huge, and for our giant bridal party we really needed that!
Fast forward to actual wedding, it was misting all day, and the moment our ceremony was suppose to start it poured, we went with it and all the staff was so helpful in still making sure it happened. It was still beautiful rain and all. Lindsey, our coordinator, bless her heart was out there in the rain with us, helped me get my now soaking 1000 pound dress all bustled up, and just made it so relaxed I didn’t even care about the rain.
The food. Oh My Goodness!!!! 10000 stars. It was incredible. Myself, my husband and family are Italians from NY - food wise they are hard to please and literally everyone is still raving about the food. The steak literally cut like butter and all the cocktail food blew us away. The stations, The Hors d’oeuvres, the bar tending staff made cocktail hour perfect. The staff both leading up to and the day of went above and beyond. Any questions I had they answered within 72 hours, they truly have a real day of coordinator that made our vision come to life, and we’re so attentive. I have celiacs and they made sure to make my life easy by not having to worry about any contamination issue. Honestly I cannot say enough good things.
If you’re considering here it’s worth every Penny and you’re not going to regret that decision!Saint Clements Castle & Marina's reply:
Danyelle, we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at Saint Clements Castle & Marina! We could not be happier that your day was everything you dreamed of. We will share your comments with our team as it is truly rewarding to hear the compliments you have given. Congratulations! ~The Saint Clements Castle Team~ -

We got married on 7/31/2021 at Saint Clements, and we couldn't be happier to have picked them for a venue!

Must Have Venue in CT!
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Saint Clements Castle. My wedding was an absolute fairy tale thanks to Saint Clements Castle. Everything was well handled, all staff were friendly and professional, and the grounds are an absolute dream. I corresponded with Lauren the most, and she was extremely professional, timely, and patient with this anxious bride. She put my mind at ease, and made things SO much easier and more relaxed for me both before my wedding day and on my wedding day. I was also so touched that they took the time to write a nice note on the box they packaged up our wedding cake in. I recommend Saint Clements Castle to everyone who is looking to get married or to have an event. -

Look no further!!!
Look no further!!! My fiance found this venue on a Google search after we spent an entire year looking at venues on Long Island, Westchester and CT. None of the venues we saw felt unique enough and simply felt like they were just "another catering hall" until we visited Saint Clements Castle. We immediately fell in love with the gorgeous venue, specially the ceremony space for the Waterford Ballroom, (the great lawn that overlooks the CT River) and with the interior of the castle itself. We booked a few days later and after having our wedding there on 06/27/2021 all I wish I could do is re-live that day over and over again.
We worked with Lauren Barone, who patiently navigated us through a postponement and through the uncertainties and ever changing guidelines of a pandemic. Lauren never stopped communicating with us, always responded to our questions promptly and she was extremely accommodating throughout. Katelynn was our event manager for the day of and she made sure everyone was in the right place at the right time and that everything ran smoothly. As a bride, I never worried about what was happening and simply had fun. My husband and I never worried throughout the wedding since we knew Katelynn had it all under control. Erin, who personally served my husband and I made sure to we were fed and hydrated at all times while taking pictures and doing our first look.
Our wedding was perfect, we were able to have our ceremony outdoors, the venue allowed us to use their newly set-up tent and the outside for cocktail hour and our reception was in the Waterford Ballroom. Our guests are still raving about the view and the beauty of the venue, the service and most importantly, the food! The food is delicious and cooked to perfection. The passed hors d'oeuvres were sufficient enough and not only looked good but also tasted great. We added a slider station with beef, and pulled pork and it was a huge hit for cocktail hour. We had Filet Mignon, prime rib, sea bass and mushroom ravioli as our entrees. Nothing was bland or overcooked. Everything was incredible. The included wedding cake from Chimirri's was also delicious.
Thank you all at Saint Clements for an unforgettable experience and for making our day absolutely perfect. -

My husband and I had our wedding day on June 27, 2021. Our wedding sales manager Lauren has been working with us since 2019. She has been wonderful with all of our questions, concerns when the pandemic hit and has been a joy to work with. The day of our wedding was simply a dream. The staff at Saint Clements Castle was simply amazing and made sure my husband, bridal party, our guest had everything they need. We couldn’t of asked for a better day. It was perfect. We wish we could relive this day over and over again.
Book this venue! It will be the best wedding decision you make!Saint Clements Castle & Marina's reply:

Summer Sent on 06/20/2021An indescribable experience!
It’s hard for me to find the words to describe what Saint Clements means to my now husband and I. Yesterday, after having to postpone for almost a year, we finally got to have our dream wedding at the castle. When I tell you they handle everything, I mean absolutely everything. Their staff is top notch and they make the day beyond easy. Pam, Katelynn and Theresa were by our side every second of the day helping us with anything and everything that we needed. The food was incredible and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ll get emotional if I write too much more, but the experience that Saint Clements gives you is like no other. We feel so blessed that we picked this venue. I cannot wait to come back for future events just to see the staff again! They are true experts at what they do!Saint Clements Castle & Marina's reply:
Summer,
This review means more to us than you know! It has been quite the year and we appreciate your patience and most importantly you acknowledgement and kind words of our efforts to make your day spectacular. It's reviews like this that make this industry truly rewarding. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and we wish you both so much happiness on your new adventure as husband and wife! You are always welcome back at the Castle! ~The Saint Clements Castle Team~ -

Claudia Sent on 07/02/2021The wedding of the season
We were looking for a venue that had a historic background with a unique look that was more than just a simple ballroom. After searching many places we decided on St Clements Castle. The sales coordinator at the time was (Jake), he is no longer there. However, he was amazing at describing our options and ensuring our large guest count will be accommodated. Pam the sales manager took over once Jake left. She was so understanding when we had to reschedule, we were one of the covid couples who were supposed to get married in 2020 and had to push back their event. They were 1000% flexible from start to finish. We never had any issues at all. A week prior to our wedding we met with Lindsey who was our contact point for the day of and she went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The day of the wedding while taking photos we had food and drinks brought out to our entire wedding party. Then the snacks continued on into the bridal suite, which I will add has been recently renovated and is huge! Practically the size of an apartment. Our reception took place in the Prince Edward ballroom and our guest were not only impressed by the looks of everything but they still cannot stop talking about the food and service! Huge thanks to the entire staff at St Clements Castle. Our wedding could not have been anymore perfect, better than anything we could have imagined.Saint Clements Castle & Marina's reply:
Claudia,
Thank you very much for your thoughtful review! It is nice to hear that in the midst of the challenges that you faced planning your wedding during the pandemic, that our sales and event managers put your mind at ease. We LOVE how the Prince Edward Hospitality Suite turn out, the size is a very rare find! When you get your high res images please send them over we are updating our wedding galleries online! Congratulations! The Team at Saint Clements Castle -

I am so incredibly happy I chose Saint Clements for my wedding. The entire venue is like something out of a fairy tale, and the coordinators and staff are absolutely wonderful to work with. My husband and I were originally having out 200 person wedding there in March of 2020 – but about a week before, covid dashed those plans! They were fantastic and helped us reschedule for this June and have been so amazing throughout this entire crazy process. Pam and Katelynn in particular were just a dream to work with, and I’m thankful we had them to help us with the details leading up to the big day, and to help keep things running smoothly on the day of. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. Our guests were blown away by the beautiful grounds, the delicious food, professional staff, and how flawless everything was. I’m incredibly happy we chose Saint Clements for our wedding, and I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect venue!! -

Meghan B. Sent on 06/29/2021Best CT wedding venue!
Highly recommend!! Pam was AMAZING to work with. We had booked the venue and our wedding date (5/22/21) before the pandemic hit, and Pam was so helpful along the way. There were a lot of unknowns to navigate (number of guests, inside or outside, etc) and she gave wonderful suggestions and helped calm me down along the way. Even the small details on when to send Save the Dates, what to write on them in case we had to have a smaller wedding, how and when I should send invitations...and the list goes on. We ended up having 160 guests in the outdoor tent on the Waterford side, and it was STUNNING. Danielle was my wedding coordinator for the day, and she made my day so easy. The staff at Saint Clements is excellent, super professional and the day went so smooth. Our guests are still raving about the beautiful landscaping, grounds, and of course, the food. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they have ever had! And due to COVID, we chose to move everything outside, and the tent they invested in is beautiful. It was honestly better than I could have imagined. From the first look, to the ceremony, and dinner and dancing, it was perfect. A huge thank you to Pam and Danielle and the rest of the staff at Saint Clements for making our dream wedding come true!
