Saybrook Point Resort & Marina truly became the wedding venue of our dreams. From the moment we arrived, we could feel how special and full of charm this place is. The views are stunning, the team is attentive, and every single detail felt effortless from start to finish. Abby and Meredith were incredible — they worked flawlessly with our planner, Nicole from Pretty Peony Planning, and together they made everything look seamless. We booked the guest houses for our wedding parties to get ready, and it was one of the best choices we made. The private, cozy, and beautiful spaces made the morning feel joyful, calm, and personal. It felt like home — but with more space and more luxury. It felt like we were getting ready in a real life dollhouse! Being just steps away from the venue while still having our own space was the perfect way to start the day. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food, the setting and how flawlessly everything ran. The service was amazing (no one had to wait long for a drink!) and every detail was handled with care. If you’re looking for a picturesque location, exceptional service, delicious food and a team who truly knows how to create a magical wedding experience, Saybrook Point is it. We could not imagine a better place to begin our forever — and we can’t wait to come back and celebrate our anniversaries by the marina!

Saint Clements Castle provided a beautiful venue and kind staff for our wedding day. We especially appreciated our sales coordinator, Alyssa, who was professional, fast, and clear in her communication throughout the planning process. When rain forced us to move the ceremony indoors, the team quickly adapted the art gallery for us. The servers and bridal attendants were also attentive and went above and beyond to help finish set up when our florist left early. Our guests had incredibly kind things to say about the servers, and overall we had a great experience. It was also lovely to have a place that was a one stop shop for event planning! We did lose some decor in the shuffle which was an inconvenience, and some of the instructions for set up I left were not followed (our confetti got lost, only four guests got packets, the bridal suites did not have the supplies we left for them). My husband’s family were also really upset with one of the managers on property who wouldn’t allow them to walk in a covered area and was a bit rude about it, despite an event not happening and the rain being a torrential downpour causing unsafe conditions for his elderly family to walk in. Overall we had a great experience, and would recommend the castle to anyone planning a wedding!

Choosing 360 East at Montauk Downs as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made. From the start, their communication style was incredibly accommodating, responsive, helpful, and kind. Hailee, who manages the venue, was a true powerhouse - she had a smile on her face the entire night and it was clear she loves what she does. The staff was equally as great, ensuring the whole planning process was a breeze and our special day could not have been more perfect. The quality of their work and value was stunning - the venue was beautifully managed, the food was incredible, and they had amazing in-house vendors that provided great service.

From the moment we booked Grand View, Erin was our coordinator and she was always quick to respond and help with any questions or requests we had. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful - there was no need to do anything crazy to decorate, as the space was so elegant and well-designed already. All of our decorations and centerpieces were dropped off ahead of time, and the staff arranged everything so beautifully. Our guests loved the open bar and the overall flow of the event.

After visiting The Haylard, my then-fiancé and I knew it was the perfect wedding venue! From the location, to the food, to the staff, everything contributed to make it the most special day. Caroline is truly amazing and made sure every last detail was coordinated so that we did not need to worry in the slightest on the day of. She is beyond thoughtful and put so much care into making sure our day was perfect (even despite a last minute move to an indoor ceremony). Nothing missed a beat. Our guests told us countless times during and after the wedding that it was the best wedding they had every been to, that it was the best wedding food they had ever been to and they couldn't stop raving about Greenport and the Halyard. There is not enough space to say all the wonderful things about the staff and the venue that I would like to, but my husband and I could not recommend the Halyard more. It was a perfect day!

Booking Fall River Country Club for our wedding was the BEST decision we made. This venue is EVERYTHING and it was the most reasonably priced of all the venues we looked at. The view over the water is breathtaking and provided the best backdrop to our ceremony. We were also able to take beautiful pictures out on the course with the water in the background. The best part of our wedding was dancing outside under the tent all night. The DJ provided up lighting that lit up the tent to the music and it made the whole experience. We had a fire pit tended to all night as well for those that needed a quick break! I cannot stress enough how incredible the food is, especially the dessert which is all homemade by the chef!! They will even customize the menu for you! Lastly, their staff is unmatched. From day one we worked with Tammy to make all of our wishes for the day come true. Tammy is an outstanding coordinator and a total pro in this business. She was always so kind, calm, collected, and organized which is a bride’s dream! She went above and beyond for us and anytime I asked her for something she would say yes we can, or yes we have that, or no but I can get that or make that for you. I felt completely taken care of the whole way. She made everything so easy and I felt like I didn’t have to lift a finger. I dropped off all of my decorations the day before and she had the entire venue set up (plus extra!) perfectly for our wedding without ever asking me a question the day of. I was so impressed with how everything looked. Then at the end of the night she made sure it was all packed up in our cars and I didn’t have to do a thing!! She made sure all of our needs were met throughout the day and checked in on us to make sure we had food and drinks. The wait staff and bartenders were also so kind and attentive to all of our guests. They truly made me feel so special. I had the most incredible wedding day, absolutely perfect, and it is no doubt due to all those at the Fall River Country Club! Book them now I promise you will not be disappointed!!!

We used the Tree Top Room. A little under 100 guests. The outdoor ceremony space is beautiful. It’s deceiving because we were wondering how our guests would fit but it was more than enough. It’s also shaded which was perfect for a hot day. Wedding packages are very inclusive and don’t leave a lot for you to worry about. We went with the Ruby package which included 4 passed apps, a cheese and fruit display, champagne toast, salad course, choice of 3 entrees, wedding cake allowance and center pieces for the reception tables(sweet heart table was an extra fee but was reasonable). We added a late night snack station as well. We worked with Janet and had a Day of coordinator, banquet captain and a bridal attendant. The entire staff were absolutely amazing. We got so many compliments from our guests about how smoothly everything went, how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. If you are looking for an all inclusive place that will literally do everything and take away any chance of stress.. I cannot recommend them enough!! They really know what they are doing!

Klaire and the staff were able to handle any request we had, and they went above and beyond to make our special day run smoothly. We highly recommend the Bridgehampton Tennis & Surf Club to any couple looking for a stunning wedding venue with a top-notch team to support them.
