About

On WeddingWire since 2011

Where the castle meets the river, Saint Clements Castle & Marina, is Connecticut’s premier wedding and event venue in Portland. Situated along the banks of the river, each of the three unique event spaces provide a picturesque and scenic backdrop of the riverside and lush greenery while outdoors. Inside, you will find newly renovated historical charm for a variety of special events, including weddings, showers, corporate meetings, and other celebrations.

The main estate hosts the Waterford Room and Prince Edward Ballroom. The Waterford Room embraces warm charm like no other space in Connecticut. This space features historic architectural details and a refined ambiance with its Waterford Crystal chandeliers and brand new hardwood floors. The character and charm of this space is perfect for a monumental evening of celebration. The Prince Edward Ballroom, known for its elegant ambiance and timeless design, features eight Firenze crystal chandeliers and coffered ceilings. The neutral and airy vibe of this space allows you to bring your personal dream event to life.

Our most recent addition, River’s Edge Ballroom, is nestled in the Saint Clements Marina and offers a contemporary coastal vibe in the tranquil riverside setting. The natural light, brought in by the wall-to-wall windows, only accentuates the contrast between the lofted oak beams and the sparkling crystal chandeliers. This space is perfect for anyone looking for an intimate event where the river is always in sight.

Saint Clements Castle has earned a reputation of an elevated and enchanting setting perfect for all things in life worth celebrating. Elevating the dining experience, the castle proudly sources its culinary ingredients from local purveyors, ensuring a menu that not only delights the palate but also promotes sustainability and community support. With a dedication to freshness, Saint Clements Castle invites guests to savor the flavors of thoughtfully curated, locally-inspired creations, where each bite tells a story.

Saint Clements Castle and Marina’s location, in central Connecticut, is easily accessible as a midpoint from the New York City and Boston areas. This location makes it a convenient choice for those looking for a sophisticated and accessible event venue for guests across New England. The entire estate seamlessly blends historic elegance with breathtaking natural beauty.
