“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!”

“I got married at the Riverview about 2 weeks ago and cannot begin to express how perfect it all was! The views and large windows in the ballroom were gorgeous on top of the landscaping of the grounds. It was EXTREMELY affordable compared to other venues we looked into, especially because we were coming from California to get married. We brought a few decor items of our own and the Riverview did the rest. They were so so easy to work with and we were so well taken care of the day of by our attendants (Tanya and Synsere!). It was the perfect day from start to finish and just felt easy and simple and we have gotten RAVE reviews from everyone who attended and so many compliments on the food, the service, and how lovely it all was. Cannot recommend enough!!”

“When we first toured The Hinterland, we knew it was the perfect venue for our fun, whimsical, pizza truck wedding! It truly is beautiful inside, and the perfect space for an intimate size wedding. Kristyn was great about going over all my questions and was quick to add suggestions when needed! I hired their day of coordinator (highly recommend!) and we could have not loved Deanna more! She was so sweet, handled all our vendors for us, did an amazing job with set-up and was just the best! All of the staff there from Ashley on the bar to Caleb, were so great to work with and made our day so special! The Hinterland is a real gem! It’s truly a unique and beautiful venue, and we are so grateful to everyone there for such a memorable and amazing day”
