Caroline P. Sent on 04/12/2023Amazing 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! -

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!!!!! -

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! -

Helen L. Sent on 04/07/2022BEST 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! -

The Inn at Longshore is not only an incredibly beautiful venue, but those running it do so much to ensure your day is perfect and incredible. I cannot speak highly enough of my team at the Inn (Christine, Adrienne, et al). We had to postpone our wedding, like so many others, due to COVID-19, and the Inn made this difficult decision so easy and painless. Throughout the planning process, I was able to focus on what I wanted to date to look like, not much about logistics, because the Inn took care of everything (even our vendors all came from their preferred vendor list, which is GOLD. I couldn't ask for anything more).
The day of our wedding was insanely perfect. Adrienne, our coordinator, handled EVERYTHING. They ensured I got fed, that everything ran on time. It was an incredibly beautiful day, and I was completely able to focus on having fun and enjoying my wedding -- not worrying about anything because the Inn took care of it.
My guests all couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the inn and the ballroom was and how incredible the food was. No one left hungry and everything was absolutely delicious.
I tell everyone I can that this is best venue and I could not recommend them enough -- thank you to the Inn for making our wedding absolutely magical and letting me enjoy it!The Inn at Longshore's reply:

Christina Sent on 07/27/2021perfect day!
Laina and the whole staff at The Inn at Longshore truly made my wedding day perfect. From my initial meeting with Christine, my experience was top-notch. Laina was so responsive, even answering emails late at night! She was also very honest and gave me great recommendations as I planned the big day. I did all the planning myself, so having a coordinator included as part of the experience was a game changer. Our wedding coordinator, Laina, was so kind and laid back, which helped keep me calm throughout the planning process. The tasting we attended was TO DIE FOR! The staff did a wonderful job making a romantic and fun dinner, even with all the Covid restrictions. Everyone was so flexible with us as details changed with the pandemic. On the day of the wedding, the staff was super responsive and helpful. They had ice, water, coffee, and tea waiting for us as we got ready. They managed all the different vendors as they arrived, so all I had to do was focus on getting ready and enjoying the big day. We got lucky with the weather and were able to have our ceremony and cocktail hour outside. The location is simply STUNNING. I never imagined I’d be able to get married in such a gorgeous setting. The cocktail hour was incredible - my guests are still talking about it being the best they have ever attended! The wood fired pizza station is INCLUDED and delicious! Our signature drinks were also delicious and refreshing - perfect for an early evening in July. Once inside for the reception, the staff had extra food for our bridal party while everyone was seated - they made sure we were well fed and had drinks all day and night. The service during the reception was outstanding and the ballroom was GORGEOUS. I can’t say enough good things about Laina and everyone at The Longshore who made our day truly picture perfect! I am sad it’s over! I wouldn’t change a thing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! -

Aldonille C. Sent on 10/17/2020Beautiful venue with the best staff
Longshore was not our original venue but they welcomed us with open arms to plan our microwedding after we had to reschedule our larger reception. From the beginning with their sales director Christine, the staff showed how professional and flexible they were. Adrienne was our event coordinator and in conjunction with our DOC she helped to execute the event flawlessly, capturing every detail we discussed leading up to the wedding. She answered all our questions and helped us talk through different decisions. The staff was so kind and accommodating no matter the need. Although our wedding guest list had been downsized they made every effort to fit the venue to our situation. When the forecast was heavy rain they transformed the main ballroom space into a beautiful ceremony area and then a reception space, reorganizing all the decor.
Finally a shout-out to the actual inn staff including Mary at the front desk as well as all the other front desk staff who accommodated us and our guests at the inn rooms from the girl that handed me tissues after happy crying during our ceremony to the gentleman who got us a pitcher of water at 2am. They too were so flexible in meeting our needs, changes, and requests. The day after breakfast was delicious! We were happy to be able to just come upstairs after the wedding and relax with our guests.
This venue is beautiful no matter the time of year or weather and the staff are just amazing. Thank you for everything you did for us, we will remember this for years to come! -

Longshore is the most beautiful place ever, especially for a wedding. The food is amazing, the view is perfect, and the staff is phenomenal, especially Adrienne. We had to postpone our wedding from May 2020 to May 2021 due to COVID. Longshore was so accommodating and more than willing to assist with whatever we needed due to the change of date. Adrienne kept us up to date and informed of the changes they were implementing to keep us and our guests safe and was always willing to go the extra mile for a request, no matter what. She was such a pleasure to work with! I cannot thank Adrienne enough as she made our wedding day the BEST day ever! They really have thought of everything when it comes to hosting a wedding and I would highly recommend Longshore!! We just love you, Adrienne. -

We chose The Inn for its location, waterfront views, and excellent food. The ballroom is a perfect blank canvas to create your wedding vision - not too traditional or too modern like many of the other venues we saw. Our coordinator, Laina, was very helpful every step of the way and always kept in touch with what was needed from us. The day went flawlessly with basically no intervention from us, which allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding. The food is superior to any other weddings we've been to, and our families loved the charm of the guest rooms. -

I always knew I wanted to hold my wedding at an iconic and historic place, and the Inn at Longshore checks all the boxes. Right on the Long Island Sound it has beautiful views, a large ballroom with high ceilings, an excellent in-house caterer, and amazing and attentive staff. -

I cannot begin to express the amount of love and appreciation I have for the team at Longshore Pavilion/On the Marc. Our day could not have been more perfect, and we attribute it to On the Marc. Amanda and her team were organized, meticulous, gave attention to detail and were so hospitable (our guests took note!). Amanda went above and beyond to make our day so special — she even came to work on the day of the wedding, feeling under the weather, with a huge smile on her face! Her dedication is proven. The whole team, really, was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. To top it all off, the food was INSANELY good — our guests are still raving about it! I cannot day enough good things about On the Marc! Hands down the best decision I made for this wedding — aside from saying “I do” to my husband! 😉 Special shout-out to Theresa, who was so accommodating the night of our wedding, and made sure we got a chance to eat, drink & enjoy! THANK YOU! -

Jenny Sent on 06/03/2018We got married at The Inn at Longshore this past Memorial Day. Words truly cannot begin to describe how magical our day was, which was in large part due to The Inn. From each and every staff member, to sales associate and coordinator along the way, everyone went completely above and beyond our wildest expectations. Adrienne, our event coordinator, was absolutely phenomenal. She not only answered our thousands of questions, but made us feel so special and not like we were just another wedding. Last but not least... THE FOOD. Wow. Our guests are still commenting to this day on how incredible the food was all night long. The passed hors d'oeuvres to the donut wall.. all delicious. We cannot thank The Inn enough for making our wedding day perfect.
