I cannot say enough great things about this place. And the view of the CT River, priceless for pics!!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL❤️

St Clements was nothing but the best! From the beginning of the planning process to the day of the wedding they were amazing! The venue speaks for itself and the staff is amazing! We had to most perfect day celebrating our wedding. The food was amazing and the drinks were amazing too! All of our guest had nothing but great things to say about the venue and the staff treating them like royalty!! As the bride and groom, we never had to worry about a single thing the entire night! We had the most amazing attendants working with us on our wedding day. They really made our vision come to life. We are so happy we chose St Clement’s as our wedding venue and the place to start out forever. Thank you to everyone here who made this day so special, we HIGHLY recommend this venue!!!

We had our wedding in the Waterford Ballroom on July 14, 2024, and it was probably the best decision we made to hold our celebration at Saint Clements. The entire space is absolutely beautiful– both the outdoor ceremony space overlooking the river, to the patio for cocktail hour, to the beautiful twinkling chandeliers inside. Leading up to the day-of, everything was super easy and transparent. Our wedding coordinator Alyssa Phillips made the payment and logistics side of things incredibly easy and straightforward, not to mention answering my (many… MANY) emails. My now-husband and I are originally from New England, but live in California now- this is important, because even from 3000 miles away, I felt so incredibly supported by the whole team here. At our week-of meeting, Alyssa and our day-of coordinator Jeri answered my dozens of questions and treated every request I had with understanding. When I left the meeting, I actually told my husband, “My mind is quiet for the first time in a year”, simply because they were so fulfilling of our needs! On the day of, Jeri had everything set up to perfection, kept us on time, and guided us and our bridal party through the day– she’s also an expert dress bustle-er! I also want to shout out our bridal party attendant Tomi, for making sure we all had food and drinks the whole day. Normally weddings are stressful and crazy, and I was so pleasantly surprised to find that the entire day felt relaxed and easy! If you’re looking for an incredibly beautiful and timeless space, with a supportive and knowledgeable team, at an extremely affordable price point, look no further than Saint Clements. I know that I will cherish my wedding day forever because of them.

I had my wedding reception at the Rivers Edge ballroom, and everything was absolutely perfect. My wedding was a little over a year ago, and I still have guests complimenting how perfect everything was and how pleased they were with the service! Rebecca Sola was a pleasure to work with and the day of coordinator made sure everything ran smoothly. There are so many great spots for photos and the area overlooking the water is perfect for golden hour. My husband and I cannot recommend this venue enough! We hope some day we get to be guests at a Saint Clements wedding so we can experience it all over again!

Saint Clements has the most amazing staff who are so accommodating and kind. They made sure that my husband and I were eating and drinking the entire night and were extremely accommodating when it came to our decor setup, offering help with putting it out and taking it down. We had the best experience!

My Niece had her wedding ceremony, and reception in the Waterford Ballroom. Beautiful landscape. Staff was exceptional. Very attentive to the guests. Service and Wait staff very efficient, polite, attention to detail. Also found staff to be very respectful of the Brides wishes. Property and parking accommodations are great. They handled two wedding's at the same time and would have never know the other party was there. Highly recommended

Our June 2024 wedding at Saint Clements Castle - River's Edge Ballroom was absolutely perfect! The entire Saint Clements Castle team was exceptional. From the initial planning stages with Rebecca, to the flawless execution by Danielle and Autumn on our wedding day, their professionalism and expertise made all the difference. When my MOH and Mom needed support bustling my dress, Autumn was right there by our side to make sure the reception was able to begin on time. Nicolette's outstanding service was the cherry on top - always making sure we had drinks at our sweetheart table and that we were enjoying our special day. The team truly made the day seamless and stress-free.

The River's Edge Ballroom is a breathtaking venue, and our guests are still raving about the stunning setting, delicious food/drink, and impeccable service. Everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day. We wholeheartedly recommend Saint Clements Castle for any couple planning a dream wedding!

I had an amazing time photographing Carli & Jarets wedding day! Not only was the weather and venue at the marina stunning, all vendors worked together as a team to make sure these two had the best day ever. Can't wait to be back!
