Saybrook Point Resort & Marina Reviews

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!!!! 💙💙

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!

This venue will definitely wow your guests! We had the most beautiful wedding here last week! The facilities and scenery themselves are stunning, but the staff absolutely made it!! Everyone was so extremely kind and accommodating and genuinely made the day even better with their excitement and enthusiasm! Our personal server for the night Jenn was absolutely amazing and sweet, she made sure we ate and always had a fresh drink in hand! Krystal our coordinator was wonderful to work with, very helpful and easy going! We are so happy that we chose the Saybrook point resort for our wedding and I could not imagine a more perfect day! Thank you to all!

Our entire wedding experience with Saybrook Point Inn was exceptional. We knew that SPI was our venue from the moment we arrived to tour - it is classic, elegant, coastal New England at its finest. Krystal is a true expert, and was very responsive, transparent, and accommodating with my many questions related to rescheduling our date from 08/2020 to 08/2021. She made the entire process as smooth as could be despite the COVID-19 uncertainties, and we appreciate the venue's flexibility in this regard.

Our church ceremony was offsite, but our day was seamless. As our rescheduled date followed Krystal's own wedding, we worked with Danielle the day-of. She was wonderful and communicated with my wedding planner and myself constantly during the day. I would highly recommend booking both the Lighthouse Suite and the Saybrook Room. The guys absolutely loved having the room for the morning getting ready, and I'm so glad I booked the Lighthouse for both Friday and Saturday nights. It was such a unique experience, a dream for bridal party prep, and the pictures are incredible. We also loved the addition of the new pergola and bar space, as did our guests. The Inn and the grounds are meticulously kept, the Lighthouse Gallery is so dreamy and romantic, and the venue does a great job of separating the wedding from the hotel guests.

The food is delicious - it was challenging to pick the menu because all of the options were delicious. We also highly recommend the after party at Fresh Salt and the post-wedding breakfast. The staff and the servers were amazing, and treated us and our parents like royalty. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. SPI is luxurious and unparalleled - you need to have your wedding here. We had the absolute best day of our lives, and we cannot thank Saybrook Point Inn enough!

Saybrook is the perfect size venue, not too big, but big enough to feel like you are on vacation. Several of our guests stayed overnight. The rooms are spacious and beautiful. Everyone at the resort is friendly and accommodating. The wedding coordinator Krystal is wonderful. Responsive and put my mind at ease several times while planning. The food for the wedding (we did stations) was incredible. All of my guests were raving. This place is top notch.

You should absolutely have your wedding at SPI! We were married on May 25, 2019 and we cannot express enough appreciation for SPI making our wedding day perfect. Krystal made the process seamless. Everything was amazing and there was not a single detail overlooked. We had the best time and wish we could do it all over- and we would choose SPI every time! We felt so well taken care of from the minute we arrived. Bonus is the reception ballroom was recently renovated and is gorgeous. Our guests raved about the venue, staff, food, reception hall and beautiful seaside location. You will be SO THRILLED you chose SPI!!

I really can’t say enough good things about Saybrook Point Inn. Krystal is an absolute superstar and the whole staff is absolutely wonderful! I can’t imagine having gotten married anywhere else! From the start of the day to the very end the Saybrook Point Inn and its staff really made the day perfect! There are so many little things they do to make the day special that it would be impossible to list them all in a review, but I do want to highlight a few things.
First, it should be noted that I, the Groom, am writing this review, and I need to shout-out the Saybrook Room. Not a lot of venues have a special place for the groom to prepare and hangout with his groomsmen the day of the wedding before the ceremony. It was great to have a place to shoot some billiards, play some cards, drink and eat before the wedding while the bride/bridesmaids all prepared upstairs.
The outdoor ceremony location is beautiful (The whole place is beautiful tbh), and was everything we were looking for; overlooking the Marina and the perfect size for our wedding (~160 (though we saw it set up for more the day before and it still looked great)). The Reception hall was gorgeous! Plenty of room for a dance floor without any of the table feeling crowded. The Food was out of this world! From the Beef to the Scallops to the Vegan option, we got so many compliments on the food from our guests!
The whole place drips of the casual elegance that has me so in love with the Northern Connecticut coast! The Inn coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors and provided us with a night we’ll never forget! But beyond everything else, the Staff! Every single person we dealt with was polite and excited and willing to bend over backwards to make our day the best it could be. It was an amazing experience and I am so thankful to Krystal, her team, and everyone at the Saybrook Point Inn for making our dream wedding into a reality!

So helpful and professional from the beginning! I was so relaxed while I was planning my wedding because of how helpful they were! Our wedding day went perfectly and their attention to detail is unmatched. They took care of our every need and were so attentive.

The team at Saybrook Point Inn takes professionalism to a new level. Their commitment and attention to every moment of our wedding weekend made everything so incredibly smooth and left us with plenty of time and energy to enjoy. Their food is amazing, their venue beautiful, Krystal is organized and responsive to a fault, and they truly think of every single detail relating to your night. If you are looking for a beautiful venue that will take a huge chunk of wedding planning stress off your shoulders, I couldn't recommend SPI more!

Having our reception at Saybrook Point Inn was one of the best decisions we made in the planning process! Krystal made the entire planning process from start to finish so easy, she is extremely organized, responded almost immediately to every email and phone call and countless question we had along the way. She never tried to persuade us with decisions but was extremely helpful when we needed advice or suggestions. We couldn’t have been happier with the Inn and staff the weekend of our wedding! From the moment we arrived to drop off the wedding decor a few days before until they were handing us the top of our cake the next morning, the staff was phenomenal. They treated us and our guests like absolute royalty. Every staff member we encountered was welcoming, friendly, polite and professional. The grounds were immaculate and made the weekend so fun! The bridal party loved spending the weekend there, enjoying the pool, Saybrook Room, restaurant and bar and walking around the marina. Our guests raved about how good the food was and mentioned that they felt like the appetizers kept coming and coming during cocktail hour! Matt and I especially loved that our personal servers were at our side with our own whole tray of hot appetizers from the moment we came in from taking pictures. They were attentive throughout the entire reception, we never had to wait for a drink or anything we needed. They also made sure the end of the night was a breeze! Matt and I nor the bridal party had to lift a finger to get everything packed back up. They even went as far as decorating our bed as a surprise when we got back to the bridal suite! If we could give SPI and the staff more than 5 stars we absolutely would, highly recommend!

Everything was top notch from beginning to end. I highly reccommend saybrook point to anyone who wants to be taken care of in all aspects especially on day of wedding. Timing was perfect, hall was perfect, cocktail hour perfect, photo location perfect and of course the food was amazing. Compliiments the whole evening and beyond. Krystal does an amazing job and shes good at what she does.
Thank you

Saybrook Point Inn was the perfect choice for our wedding! We were able to have a boat entrance for our cocktail hour and I have never felt more cared for in my life! The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. Our guests said the food was spectacular and everyone had such an amazing time at our wedding! Thank you!!

All the staff from bobby and Lito to Jeff and his son and fran and Krystal and Shelby and late night staff were absolutely amazing in helping with anything we could possibly need from cleaning my dress to letting us chance the rain to the last second so we could get married outside!! They were so professional making sure my fience and I did not run into each other on our wedding Morning and always by our side for any comforting we needed during any panic moments of the wedding and willing to just fix it no questions asked like family would. The receptionist when we arrived early had brown hair and she was also right there to make us as comfortable as possible. Our wedding at Saybrook was a dream come true and we have already booked for our anniversary and it has only been 3 days!! We can’t wait to go back!!!

Saybrook Point Inn was a perfect venue for the wedding of my dreams! The service was beyond exceptional and exceeded my every hope. They never once told me or my family no to any crazy demand we threw at them. Whatever we asked for they would accommodate, even things we didn’t think to ask! Saybrook Point Inn was easy to work with and the value and quality is amazing! My family and guests were so blown away with the venue and service, it made the entire event that much more special. I cannot express how happy and pleased we are with our experience. We cannot wait to make Saybrook Point Inn part of all our family events and create more memories there. Thank you so much for everything!

Our wedding at Saybrook Point was beyond all of our expectations! Everything was absolutely perfect- from the staff, venue, food/drinks/etc. The entire day flowed so smoothly, and my husband and I didn't worry about a thing. Krystal was a dream to work with- she always provided prompt responses and helped make the planning process a breeze. We were able to drop off all of our decor with her days before the wedding as well - and on our wedding day everything was setup perfectly- it was such a relief to not have to worry about that! Joe was also incredible on the day of- he helped with anything and everything we needed, and was the most attentive
person we have ever met! Before, during, and after we always felt taken care of- it was truly the wedding of our dreams and we would recommend Saybrook Point to anyone.

I got married at the Saybrook Point Inn recently and it was better than I could have imagined. Thanks to Krystal, Shelby, Sara, Donna and Joe for helping my husband and I every step of the way. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was, how good the food was and how great the service was. Thanks to the staff at SPI we were stress free the entire day. I highly recommend this venue to anyone searching for the perfect wedding spot.

My husband and I fell in love with this venue as soon as we saw it in person. We had the perfect wedding day in July! Krystal, our wedding manager, did an amazing job helping us prepare and plan our details for our wedding. We were so pleased with the staff's professionalism every step of the way in planning our perfect wedding day. The timing with getting back to us on any questions or concerns we had was impeccable, and that truly showed their commitment. Donna was amazing to work with at the reception and she helped make everything run smoothly. The wait staff was more than helpful and we appreciate all of their hard work on that day! The food (hors d'oeuvres and dinner) was absolutely delicious and enjoyed by all of our guests. Our wedding day was a true fairytale and we cannot thank the staff at Saybrook Point Inn enough for all they have done to make this possible!

Saybrook Point Inn was an amazing venue to have our wedding this past June. Even though it rained (good luck, right?!), the Inn has a great indoor back-up in place and everything flowed seamlessly. Krystal and Donna were amazing on the day of and their expertise was definitely noticed. The Inn is a great venue for the views, the beauty of the Inn itself, the value of the additional vendors they have (definitely check out their raw bar and gelato bar) and the relationships they have with outside vendors like Floral Affair and Creative Cakes by Donna. I love to eat and was thrilled about how many compliments we received about the food; everything prepared by the Inn is delicious. Our day was really special and I think the fact that we had it at the Inn was a big part of that.

Amazing venue, gorgeous location professional staff! Our wedding at the Saybrook Point Inn was everything we could have dreamt of and more. Everything was taken care of, we didn't have to worry about anything. Every staff member was top notch. The hospitality and high level of service was consistent and made a very positive impression on our families and our guests. I can't say enough about how happy we were with this venue from start to finish!

The venue itself is gorgeous- staff professional, understanding, creative and very dedicated to making you have the best wedding experience. Only one wedding is scheduled per evening- which makes the experience very personalized.
Recommend couple upgrading to stay in the lighthouse for their honeymoon night. It is away by itself at the far end of a dock.
The experience itself was amazing - staff was accommodating to the bride and groom as well as every single guest, whether they stayed overnight or not. The consults we had for the wedding day were very professional - even cleaned my daughter's train on hands and knees before the ceremony (train had gotten a little dirty from the First look photos on a dock).
Guests were totally impressed that everything ran on time; the food was delicious; service for all guests was very prompt during dinner.
Two cautions: First, Although gorgeous and comfortable, the hotel rooms are for guests are very expensive during summer months (>$300.00/night) but the location is well worth it!
Second, you cannot not bring any of your own liquor or food to use - such as for luncheons. However, their wraps for the getting ready day were delicious; as was the food selected for the after party in the bar.

The Inn was amazing. Everything moved forward smoothly and without any issue. We were so pleased and are very appreciative of the professionalism of everyone there.

What a perfect day we had, and everyone was so accommodating. If you choose Saybrook for your special day ...you won't be disappointed ! Friends and family are still telling us that "it was the best wedding they've ever been to!" Food, all the waiters and waitresses , along with Sarah, Valerie and Ellen were all great.

Saybrook Point Inn was the most perfect setting for our wedding this past June! Once we stepped foot onto the property, we knew this was the place for us. You are surrounded by beautiful water views and the inn itself has classic New England charm. We spent several afternoons enjoying a cocktail at one of many tables overlooking their marina during the planning process. We chose to have our rehearsal dinner at their restaurant, Fresh Salt, and a farewell brunch the morning after the wedding. We were able to have our "wedding weekend" all on site and in one place, which felt like a mini vacation for us and our guests who chose to stay with us at the Inn. We never once had to leave the Inn which was convenient for us and our families/friends. All of the staff were always so king and welcoming. We initially met with Sara and then went on to work with a few different coordinators through our engagement. Everyone we worked with were all so professional, accommodating, responsive, and helpful. Response times were always so quick which made the planning process so much smoother. Sara absolutely knows her stuff and helped us so much through all of our decision making to help us create our perfect wedding. The weather the day of the wedding was questionable. An afternoon of rain caused us to consider moving the ceremony inside. Everyone was willing to wait until the last possible minute, hours before the start time, to make the call. Luckily they did because sure enough the sun came out and we were able to have our wedding outside at their beautiful Compass Rose ceremony site. Our guests raved about how beautiful the ceremony & cocktail hour were, the delicious food, and ambiance through the entire day. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure the Bride and Groom are well taken care of the entire night so you can just enjoy every second of the day. We have already planned a trip back for our anniversary and we are so excited to return to this beautiful place!

My husband and I just got back from our "mini-moon" at Saybrook Point Inn-we went away for a long weekend after the wedding since we're not going on our official honeymoon for a few months. We were so happy with everything about the Inn-our room was very comfortable and had its own fireplace and view of the marina, the staff was wonderful, the restaurant on-site is delicious (definitely go for the brunch buffet!) and we had great massages at the spa. The Inn is located on a beautiful spot on the waterfront and we had a great time just walking around the marina and the surrounding area. While we were there there were 3 weddings and it looks like they do a beautiful job with those. We will definitely be coming back for another long weekend.

I knew when we booked this venue it was beautiful but never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined how much more amazing it would get. From day one Sara Sheiffele, wedding coordinator and her team were extremely helpful. Their recommendations and advice over the course of the planning process were very helpful. From the minute I stepped out of my car during my wedding weekend I was treated as if I were the only person there. The best part was that my family and guests felt the same way. Their attention to every detail and genuine care pre wedding, during and after made the experience one I will NEVER forget. My wedding was above a
