“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. We couldn't recommend 360 East at Montauk Downs more highly to any couple looking for an incredible wedding experience.”

“Haley Mansion was such an incredible place to have our wedding. It was GORGEOUS. Multiple times throughout the day I found myself taking in how beautiful our surroundings were. The spaces were perfect. It was so nice getting ready onsite. I really felt like the mansion was my home for the day!! The cocktail hour space looked over the sound with sailboats and had a nice breeze coming in. The reception space was the perfect combination of inside and outside (since both the cocktail hour and reception spaces were under tents I was never stressed about rain!). We ended the night with an after party at Rocks 21 which we really enjoyed because it gave us an extended time to talk and relax with our guests. Then we went to bed in our room at the mansion with our closest friends staying next door!! It all felt so special. Beyond the property itself, I cannot stress how amazing the team at Haley Mansion was. Catherine took care of us from start to finish. My friends commented throughout the planning process how stress free I seemed and I really feel like I owe so much of that to Catherine because I trusted that she had things in hand. On the night of the wedding, I mentioned at one point to (my now!!) husband that I needed to change into my dancing shoes. Someone who worked at the mansion overheard me and immediately went and got them for me and put them at my place at the table. This is just one of many things that the team did for me. All of this is to say, I could not have asked for more from this venue. I am so thankful to all of them for their kindness and support. If you have the opportunity to have your wedding here, do it!!”

“We had our wedding at the Boat Shed last weekend, and I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience with Constellation Catering. They went above and beyond and completely exceeded our expectations. Mary, Chantelle, Amy, and Angela were absolute superstars. They took care of everything for us and were always one step ahead. They were patient, incredibly helpful, kind, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing they had everything handled. They completely transformed the Boat Shed for our reception, and it looked absolutely beautiful. We chose the salmon and short rib for our entrées, and everything was delicious and came out hot. The entire staff was organized and efficient, and dinner service ran so smoothly. There was no sitting around waiting forever between courses—they kept everything moving while still making the evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. From setup and service to cleanup at the end of the night, everything was handled quickly and seamlessly. We felt incredibly well taken care of from start to finish. If you have the opportunity to book the Boat Shed for your wedding, do not hesitate. Between the beautiful views of the Mystic River, the history and charm of Mystic Seaport, and the incredible team at Constellation Catering, it is such a special place to get married. We feel so grateful and lucky that we were able to have our wedding here and truly could not have asked for a better experience”

“Our experience having our wedding at the Delamar Mystic was truly magical. When we first started searching for venues, we knew we wanted to be somewhere on the water with a beautiful sunset. Funny enough, the Delamar Mystic wasn't originally on our list. While driving to tour other venues one day, we passed a beautiful building right on the water that immediately caught both of our attention. On a whim, we decided to turn around and see what it was. At the time, the hotel was still finishing construction and preparing for its soft opening the following weekend. By chance, there were staff members inside who were kind enough to show us around. The moment we saw the lobby, guest rooms, restaurant, and waterfront, something clicked. After touring several other venues, this was the first place where we could actually envision our wedding. There was certainly an element of trust involved in booking a brand-new hotel that was only beginning its first wedding season, and naturally there were some growing pains along the way. But ultimately, we couldn't be happier with our decision or with how beautifully everything came together. Our wedding day was everything we had hoped for. The setting was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and being directly on the Mystic River gave us opportunities that made the day uniquely ours. One of our favorite moments was chartering a small boat and sailing into cocktail hour, which was such a fun and memorable way to make our entrance. Being next to the Mystic Seaport Museum made something like that possible and is such a special feature of the location. We also highly recommend booking the cabin for the bridal party. It is incredibly spacious and was the perfect place for everyone to get ready together that morning. Having such a comfortable, dedicated space made the getting-ready portion of the day that much more enjoyable. Brian, our coordinator at the Delamar, was extremely helpful throughout the process and helped us navigate all the details that came with planning a wedding at a new venue. We also held our after-party at the hotel's restaurant, which was the perfect way to continue celebrating without asking our guests to travel somewhere else at the end of the night. There is something very special about knowing we were among the first couples to celebrate our wedding at the Delamar Mystic. We took a chance on a brand-new venue after discovering it completely by accident, and it turned into exactly the waterfront wedding we had been hoping for. Looking back, that spontaneous decision to turn the car around feels like it was meant to be. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting for our wedding.”
