When we arrived at Saint Clements we automatically knew this was our venue! We got married at the Rivers Edge Marina and it was absolutely stunning! Both the inside and outside of the venue were so beautiful and clean. We loved everything about the details and working with the staff here. Alyssa, our sales coordinator was attentive and helpful right from our first meeting. She answered all our questions and made the process so much easier. Autumn, our day of coordinator was so much fun and so helpful. They truly made our experience into the most magical day.

Our wedding at Bill Miller's Castle in May 2025 was a fairytale. It rained cats and dogs and we didn't even notice. The venue's decor is cozy, romantic, and interesting, so all of our professional photographs (and those taken by our guests on their own phones throughout the venue) contained a background with character and interest unique to anything we (or our guests) have ever seen. The outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour spaces would have been so lovely in-bloom in May, but we knew at Bill Miller's we would have a beautiful event even if it rained. The bridal suite, especially, was a god send, able to easily accommodate the crowd that was my bridal party. We continue to receive compliments from our guests about how 'cool' the venue was and how attentive and professional the staff was throughout the event. The planning team of Victoria and her mom, Lisa, made us feel confident every step of the way that our day would run smoothly. As a high-anxiety bride, I was relieved and assured by our conversations with the planning team all the way up to the rehearsal - and with the attention and care I received throughout my wedding day. At one point, Victoria got on her knees to help me change my shoes during the reception because I could not reach my feet around my large wedding dress. We would have our wedding at Bill Miller's again tomorrow.

I used this venue for my wedding and it was absolutely perfect. It was such a cute spot and perfectly captured what we wanted. The owners were fantastic and so helpful. Both Treehouse and nearby Lake Houses were amazing rentals for our guests! The rustic barn hall was amazing for our ceremony! The grounds were green and full of love! The animals were a great backdrop. 10/10 !!! Wouldn't change a thing if I were to do it again. They made the wedding of our dreams a reality.

Pachaug Cottages was exactly what we were looking for, and our wedding day there was perfect. The team responded to emails quickly and answered all of our questions right away, which meant so much during the planning process. Since we didn't have a wedding planner, they stepped up and walked us through the rehearsal dinner, helped us decorate, and broke everything down at the end of the night. They also made sure all our vendors arrived and had what they needed, so we could focus on celebrating. The space itself has a beautiful and relaxing vibe that made our guests feel comfortable and happy. We can't thank the Pachaug Cottages team enough for being so accommodating and helpful from start to finish.

They went above and beyond with some lovely fall decor touches and we absolutely loved the open field and gorgeous patio that opened to our rehearsal site.

I've been a wedding photographer on the North Fork for 10+ years and since The Halyard came on the scene it has quickly proven itself as a top event venue. Not only is the location itself like none other, literally hugging the water's edge, the food is beyond outstanding and the staff is wonderfully professional. The recent renovation under new ownership was so well done, featuring modern and nautical decor while maintaining the charm of the North Fork. The Halyard is connected with The Soundview Hotel making it a truly ideal wedding location, allowing couple's to relax without having to shuffle around on the big day. And no matter what light is given, the closeness to the sea at The Halyard ensures beautiful photos always. It's a special place on The North Fork and hands down my favorite waterfront venue.
