Mystic Yachting Club at Willow Point

I cannot say enough amazing things about the Mystic Yachting Club. It is truly a hidden gem within the beauty that is Mystic, CT. This all-inclusive venue has everything you need to build your perfect day. First of all, the structure is beyond stunning. The wood work and coloring is perfection for a New England coastal wedding. Beyond that, it sits right on the river with gorgeous boats right off the back deck. Beyond it's beauty, the staff are a dedicated team of professionals who are truly there to make your day exactly what you want it to be. Working with Aimee was honestly one of the best parts of the planning process. Her knowledge and professionalism made me incredibly confident in our day from beginning to end. She was always there to answer a question or talk me off the ledge. When it looked like the Nor'Easter was going to rip through CT, she and Mary (also amazing) calmly provided my husband and myself with our options. Mary, our day of coordinator was also wonderful! She was organized, on time, and knew exactly how to keep the ship moving! The entire staff at the yacht club were wonderful people who were excited to celebrate with us. Their kindness went a long way with us. Thank you Mystic Yachting Club for making our dream day a reality. 

My husband and I had decided immediately after our engagement that we were going to have a small wedding. We began our search in Connecticut and researched several different options, quickly pinpointing the aspects of a venue that were most important to us. We most importantly wanted to find a space that had both indoor and outdoor ceremony options (especially since we were looking to have an October ceremony and the east coast weather can be quite unpredictable!). It was difficult to find an indoor space light and bright and just as beautiful as the outdoors - that is until we walked into Mystic Yachting Club. As soon as we walked up the stairs and saw how airy and bright the wood-filled room was with giant windows looking out over the water, we knew it was perfect. It was evident that the space could accommodate weddings of many different sizes and they were able to adjust the space in a way that was best for your specific needs. One of the best things about this venue is that the catering is part of the package which alleviates so much stress of securing that separate vendor. Tasks like choosing the menu, designing the floor plan, creating the day-of-schedule, deciding on the finishing touches, etc. were all seamless and I was even able to go back to the venue a couple weeks before my wedding to walk through and speak with the wonderful wedding coordinators as they answered all my questions and assured me that the day was going to be perfect - which it was! The entire staff was so kind and organized. My wedding planner worked easily with the staff to ensure the space was decorated beyond my wildest dreams and that everything throughout the day moved smoothly. I believe we received equal to or beyond the value of the cost of the venue and I was very pleased - I did not have to exceed my budget with this venue! I don't even think I can even count how many compliments and praises I received during and after our wedding about how beautiful and perfect this venue was for our intimate celebration. Truly I could not recommend this venue more.
