Best Day of my life
From the moment we started planning, Anthony's Ocean View made the process easy with quick responses and a friendly team. The venue itself is stunning, and the pricing felt fair for what we got. What really stood out was the food—it was fantastic, and our guests were talking about it for days after the wedding. The staff went out of their way to take care of my husband and me throughout the day, making sure we had everything we needed. We had the best day, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. We'd recommend Anthony's Ocean View to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with great people behind it.

Anthony’s ocean view
Anthony's Ocean View turned out to be the perfect fit for our wedding day. Even though we didn't have a dedicated point person, our emails were answered quickly and we never felt lost in the process. The venue itself is stunning—we still can't believe we got married on a beach that looks like the Caribbean right here in Connecticut. From the fully stocked bridal suite to the flowers and signage, they thought of details we hadn't even anticipated. The pricing was straightforward with no surprise fees, which made the whole experience even better. We'd recommend Anthony's Ocean View to any couple looking for a gorgeous venue that delivers real value.

Wedding 6.26.26
From start to finish, Anthony's Ocean View made planning our beach wedding smooth and easy. The team was organized and welcoming, answering all our questions quickly. On the day of our wedding, they took incredible care of the bride's party with snacks, drinks, and wine throughout the day. The venue itself is absolutely stunning with those ocean views, and the food was delicious—our guests couldn't stop raving about it. One thing we noticed was that the groom's party didn't receive snacks or drinks while waiting before the ceremony and during the reception announcements, which was a missed opportunity. Overall, Anthony's Ocean View delivered a beautiful event and we would recommend them to any couple looking for a beach wedding with AMAZING food!

We LOVED Anthony’s Ocean view as our venue for the ceremony and reception for our wedding!! The beach for the ceremony was beautiful with the palm trees being there. Brian and Marchello was very nice and helpful! Would recommend to our friends and family

11.01.25 Wedding
Anthony's Ocean View was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was excellent - they were quick to respond and provided us with all the detailed information we needed. The venue itself is truly spectacular, with a beautiful, versatile space that felt like we were having a “destination wedding, right at home.” Marcello and the entire team were so attentive and easy to work with, thinking of every little detail to make our day perfect. We're dying for someone else to book their wedding here so we can enjoy a wedding at Anthony's Ocean View all over again! We had the absolute best day!
