About This Vendor

Coastal Connecticut Weddings

Along the water in Old Saybrook, CT is the Saybrook Point Inn & Spa, a haven and wedding venue rolled into one. The enchantment and storybook romance of New England demonstrate itself at its finest in this hotel. Fantastic food, gorgeous views, and elegant spaces are sure to delight loved ones attending your nuptials. Not to mention the marina, landscaped grounds, and decor provide an excellent backdrop for wedding day photos. For decades this location has been providing couples with a memorable and sophisticated wedding venue for hosting their celebrations. The Tagliatela family owns the Saybrook Point Inn & Spa, having purchased the former and famed Terra Mar in 1980 and transforming it into its current glory. The Lighthouse Gallery, their onsite ballroom, was further renovated in 2019 to ensure that it meets contemporary standards of luxury. This dreamy hall can host up to 210 guests. Other ceremony and reception locations throughout the inn include the Beacon and Compass Rose terraces with marina and lighthouse views. Guests and wedding party alike can avail to the delicious food at Fresh Salt, the inn’s restaurant, or relax at the spa after the celebrations. The rooms throughout the Saybrook Point Inn & Spa are both traditionally elegant and nautical. The floors are a deep, rich colored hardwood in a parquet inlay layout for an element of distinction. Creamy white walls and furnishings with subtle doses of dark browns create elegant focal points of visual interest throughout the understated interiors. Together, the architectural achievement of this inn is both upscale and refined. Immensely important to luxury is the care and attention staff provides to their guests, which is central to the wedding packages offered. Planning by their experienced events professionals helps make the event just as the couple envisioned. This attention to detail extends to the menu as their chefs craft dishes using fresh and local ingredients. For guests that are not local, or simply to create a true getaway wedding event, accommodation in their guest rooms and villas offer peaceful and private refuges. To make the planning process easier, the inn provides couples with a selection of trusted vendors.

We got married at Saybrook Point Resort and Marina in April 2022. We worked with Event Planner, Danielle Bailey. Getting married at SP and working with Danielle over our year engagement was outstanding. Danielle was organized, prompt in communi...
cation, and thorough with all wedding details. Our wedding day went above and beyond what we hoped for and Danielle and the team at SP made it all possible. Our favorite parts included the endless raw bar during and hors d'oeuvre's during coctail hour. Our signature drinks and champagne was waiting for guests leaving the outdoor ceremony on the water. There was not a single complaint about the delicious, well-portioned meals - salad, pasta, dinner. The venue itself lent for the most outstanding photos ranging from the patio to the docks. The reception room arranged the tables exactly what we had envisioned and the choice we had in planing everything was comforting. We ended the night with a surprise bottle of champagne in our Bridal Suite which truly showed how much the team at SP and Danielle cared about us on this journey. I wish I could relive this memory every week - Saybrook Point made our wedding magical. I would highly recommend checking out this venue - you will not be disappointed!

really took the time to help us create and facilitate our wedding vision. The rooms were spacious, elegant and comfortable. My husband loved the bar, pool table and poker area he got to spend time in prior to the wedding. From the real-wood fireplaces in the lobby, to the elegant white lights and wreaths, and the garland highlighting the facility, it was truly a lovely and gorgeous venue to have our special day. We cannot thank the wedding event and the kitchen staff enough! They did an amazing job as well! We truly loved everything about the Saybrook Point Inn…you made our wedding dreams come true!

all of our many emails and concerns. Saybrook Point was very accommodating when it came to moving our wedding, making the process effortless. When the day finally came, it was everything we had imagined it would be and more. We handmade most of our decorations and favors and were worried it would be confusing and overwhelming for the venue to set up, but everything was executed flawlessly. Although Krystal wasn't able to be there on our big day, Danielle and Libby made everything move smoothly. The other staff (waitstaff, bartenders, etc.) were absolutely wonderful and the food was amazing. Everyone did their part in making us feel so special and blessed on our wedding day. Saybrook Point will forever have a special place in our hearts and we look forward to returning in the future years to come!

ive, transparent, and accommodating with my many questions related to rescheduling our date from 08/2020 to 08/2021. She made the entire process as smooth as could be despite the COVID-19 uncertainties, and we appreciate the venue's flexibility in this regard. Our church ceremony was offsite, but our day was seamless. As our rescheduled date followed Krystal's own wedding, we worked with Danielle the day-of. She was wonderful and communicated with my wedding planner and myself constantly during the day. I would highly recommend booking both the Lighthouse Suite and the Saybrook Room. The guys absolutely loved having the room for the morning getting ready, and I'm so glad I booked the Lighthouse for both Friday and Saturday nights. It was such a unique experience, a dream for bridal party prep, and the pictures are incredible. We also loved the addition of the new pergola and bar space, as did our guests. The Inn and the grounds are meticulously kept, the Lighthouse Gallery is so dreamy and romantic, and the venue does a great job of separating the wedding from the hotel guests. The food is delicious - it was challenging to pick the menu because all of the options were delicious. We also highly recommend the after party at Fresh Salt and the post-wedding breakfast. The staff and the servers were amazing, and treated us and our parents like royalty. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. SPI is luxurious and unparalleled - you need to have your wedding here. We had the absolute best day of our lives, and we cannot thank Saybrook Point Inn enough! Jillian & Ben, 08/14/21

hanged from our original plans but Krystal made the transition seamless. With the new date, we were supposed to have our reception in the new pergola that they reception built, but mother nature had other plans and it was cold and rainy on Memorial Day weekend. I started to get a little flustered because this was yet another change to our big day. Once again, Krystal and her team made the move inside seamless. Danielle was very helpful in making sure that the diagrams for the tables were how I had envisioned them. On the day of Liz and Krystal were so great, they made sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire day and even made sure the bar was stocked with my favorite wine! I wish I could re-married at the SPI every year!

aff were amazing from start to finish. Easy to get in touch with, quick to respond, and provided first class service the entire weekend of the wedding. We were treated like royalty, had an amazing suite overlooking the water, every staff member knew our name and congratulated us every time they saw us. The spa was an incredible experience before the big day (had the BEST hot stone massage). Two months after our wedding our friends and family are still talking about how much fun the wedding was, how much they loved the hotel, the rooms, the staff, how amazing the food was and how they can't wait to go back. We are definitely going back for our 1 year anniversary (probably with a lot of family and friends). Highly recommend, was the PERFECT wedding with the BEST staff :) Cynthia and Thomas

Saybrook Point Inn elevated my wedding day to a whole new level. The newly renovated lighthouse gallery was stunning and everyone keeps telling us what an amazing time they had months after. Krystal and her team set up all of my decor/tables beautifully and went the extra mile to make sure everything was as I had pictured/explained in our meetings. Our day was sunny but pretty cold so the attendant with us during pictures on the dock ran to get me a coat without even asking. The staff also made sure we ate everything, had drinks all night, and what we wanted from our gelato bar. The food was out of this world and the extras we ordered were so worth it. I definitely recommend the gelato bar and after dinner snacks. We can’t thank the team at Saybrook enough for the most memorable and special wedding day. We can’t wait to celebrate our anniversary at Saybrook in the years to come.

n’t imagine having gotten married anywhere else! From the start of the day to the very end the Saybrook Point Inn and its staff really made the day perfect! There are so many little things they do to make the day special that it would be impossible to list them all in a review, but I do want to highlight a few things. First, it should be noted that I, the Groom, am writing this review, and I need to shout-out the Saybrook Room. Not a lot of venues have a special place for the groom to prepare and hangout with his groomsmen the day of the wedding before the ceremony. It was great to have a place to shoot some billiards, play some cards, drink and eat before the wedding while the bride/bridesmaids all prepared upstairs. The outdoor ceremony location is beautiful (The whole place is beautiful tbh), and was everything we were looking for; overlooking the Marina and the perfect size for our wedding (~160 (though we saw it set up for more the day before and it still looked great)). The Reception hall was gorgeous! Plenty of room for a dance floor without any of the table feeling crowded. The Food was out of this world! From the Beef to the Scallops to the Vegan option, we got so many compliments on the food from our guests! The whole place drips of the casual elegance that has me so in love with the Northern Connecticut coast! The Inn coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors and provided us with a night we’ll never forget! But beyond everything else, the Staff! Every single person we dealt with was polite and excited and willing to bend over backwards to make our day the best it could be. It was an amazing experience and I am so thankful to Krystal, her team, and everyone at the Saybrook Point Inn for making our dream wedding into a reality!

e was beautiful, our guests couldn't stop telling us how impressed they were with everything. I really appreciated the attentive detail every step of the way, and on the night of the wedding, the staff was wonderful- we had taken pictures out on the docks and upon coming back inside, we noticed the bottom of my dress had black marks. This was before the first dance and introductions so of course I started to get nervous, but Jenn & Patricio were two staff members I especially would like to thank because they came to the rescue and helped my sister safety-pin & disguise the marks so it would be hidden in pictures. The attention & special care they took to help me was so appreciated, they truly went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly all night long. I highly recommend Saybrook Point Inn, they exceeded our expectations for our special day and I wouldn't change a thing!

t and organize the wedding. I really appreciated this as a bride who did most of the wedding planning herself. The day of the day of the wedding was when they really shined. My husband and I got to sit back and really enjoy our wedding because they were so organized and so on top of everything. We felt our wedding was safe in the hands of Krystal, Joe and the entire wedding staff. The venue itself is gorgeous. It has an aesthetic that is more authentically nautical than many of the other seaside venues we looked at. We had our wedding outside over the marina and it just felt magical. They also recently updated the reception hall and it is even more beautiful than before. It really highlights the view of the marina through the large glass windows. The food. Oh, the food. It was delicious and thanks to Joe we had a second to actually eat something. We had the scallops and beef tenderloin. Both were fantastic. I would say they were even better than at the tasting. We heard a lot from our guests afterwards about how delicious the food was. Another great aspect about booking with Saybrook Point was that we were able to use the money from people not being able to come on better food and drink for guests who could attend. I have heard horror stories about brides looking for people to come to their wedding last minute because they didn't reach their minimum. We were able to upgrade the bar and cocktail hour and have pre-ceremony beverages instead. Overall, I gave Saybrook Point 5 stars. They were instrumental in making our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you to everyone there! We will cherish the day forever.

ngs, and one of my sisters is in the event planning business- so I am very aware of what a venue generally does and doesn't do. The staff at Saybrook did more than we could have ever imagined- for instance, we dropped off all of our decor four days before the event, and when we showed up on our wedding day everything was setup perfectly. I cannot tell you as a bride what a relief that is- all of my other friends who have gotten married spent hours setting up the night before or day of. I didn't have to do a thing! Everyone knew exactly who we were when we arrived- we seriously felt like royalty! Another part we loved- it felt like SBP gave us a wedding army to help all weekend! We had a coordinator, a security coordinator, and day of coordinator and so on- we did not worry about a single thing all weekend because it was all taken care of by their amazing and kind staff. We had Joe as the day of coordinator, and he helped guide us the whole evening so that we maximized all of our time, and he took care of absolutely EVERYTHING for us! He even saved a napkin for us that he saw my groom wiping a little makeup smudge off of my face with - I mean, how cute is that?! Getting ready at the hotel was a breeze, and it was SO nice at the end of the night to take a short elevator ride to the room. The staff helped us pack everything up, and even left us an adorable gift in our room to return to on the wedding night. I could go on and on, but I will leave with this- we have determined that choosing SBP was the best decision we made for our wedding. We've had so many people tell us that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to because the venue, views, food, accommodations, and staff. You cannot go wrong choosing this place- if you're debating it- just book!

d options available. Boats, the water, docks, beautiful decor inside and out... we could not ask for a better scenic backdrop for our wedding. Shelby showed us where the ceremony would be, cocktail hour, reception, but went beyond that to show us the spa where hair and makeup could be done, the Saybrook Room for the Groomsmen to get ready in (what a unique and special room that is!), and our suite for the night. She answered all our questions with courtesy and professionalism, no matter how numerous or specific the questions were. As our wedding coordinator, Krystal made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning process and actual event. Her attention to detail ensured us that no aspect of the wedding would be overlooked. We were in great hands and this was evidenced by the types of questions she asked us and the comfortable conversations we had. When the day finally arrived, she was there at every turn to make sure the event occurred as planned and on time. That day, weather was tricky to determine if the wedding ceremony should stay outdoors or be moved inside, but Krystal assured us that only an hour was needed to make the switch and they would wait to the very last minute to decide to do that if needed. She knew how important it was to us that we were outside. Fortunately, the weather cooperated! As a whole, the staff at Saybrook Point Inn truly make you feel like everyone works together to create a personalized wedding that caters to your every need. Coordinated by Krystal, the communication between all the staff members is remarkable. They know where the bride and groom are at all times and are there for you and your needs, period. Our dinner menu featured absolutely delicious meals that included sea scallops, fillet of beef, and stuffed chicken breast. Our guests were all served their salads and then meals in what seemed to be simultaneous. The hard work of the kitchen staff was definitely evident in the high quality of the food and service. In addition to the tremendous amount of work by Krystal, Shelby, and so many others that we did not get a chance to meet personally, Gary and Brian also worked to ensure our night was special. Gary ensured that as the night went on, we were able to have fun with our guests while still participating in the events (cake cutting, father/daughter mother/son dances, etc...) with smooth transitions that allowed us to maximize our time with our guests on the dance floor without rushing through the night. At no point in the night did we have to get anything ourselves. Brian was there to make sure that we were treated as the VIP's of the night and he succeeded in making us feel just that. Our guests keep commenting to us about the delicious food, the views, and the staff of Saybrook Point Inn. We cannot thank them enough for creating the most amazing wedding where everything was truly perfect.

n delivered, that is an understatement. There are simply too many exceptional people and examples of going above and beyond to name in a review - they have achieved the rarity of developing a staff-wide culture of doing everything and anything to have everyone have the best, safest, and most pleasant experience possible. ALL of our guests were commenting on it, from small details like remembering individual guests' names to acts of kindness like rushing a late bridesmaid to the ceremony site on a golf cart and bringing dinners up to hotel rooms for adult babysitters, to seamless management of a full day of wedding ceremony coordination, photos, and reception traditions. At the end of the evening, I found all the gifts, centerpieces, and flowers cleanly organized and boxed up in our room, and the cake in our fridge. Simple amazing. The venue of course was beautiful and very comfortable, and we really enjoyed upgrading to a "bridal" suite and the boys' Saybrook Room. The adjacent bar and restaurant were perfect for post-reception drinks and a beautiful relaxed breakfast in the morning. High praise also for the food. The best example of critical feedback probably comes from one of our guests who ran a higher-end restaurant for 15 years, stating that it was the best Filet Mignon he had ever had at a wedding reception.

On the actual days Krystal came over to the house several times to just check in to make sure we didn't need anything. Donna and Joe coordinated the whole reception and made our night so easy to manage! They told us where to be, who to talk to, when we needed to each step of the night- it was so great to have them around to keep the night moving smoothly! We had the best night of our lives because of the people that make Saybrook Point Inn so very special. If you are interested in a place that has weddings down to a science- this is it! We were lucky enough to have good weather but they have back options that they put together in minutes if they have to. The day before there was questionable weather and they set up a wedding inside but when the weather held up they re-did everything within an hour to get the bride and groom their special day outside! It was so great to see them work so hard just to get their day to be what they dreamed it would be.

We never once had to leave the Inn which was convenient for us and our families/friends. All of the staff were always so king and welcoming. We initially met with Sara and then went on to work with a few different coordinators through our engagement. Everyone we worked with were all so professional, accommodating, responsive, and helpful. Response times were always so quick which made the planning process so much smoother. Sara absolutely knows her stuff and helped us so much through all of our decision making to help us create our perfect wedding. The weather the day of the wedding was questionable. An afternoon of rain caused us to consider moving the ceremony inside. Everyone was willing to wait until the last possible minute, hours before the start time, to make the call. Luckily they did because sure enough the sun came out and we were able to have our wedding outside at their beautiful Compass Rose ceremony site. Our guests raved about how beautiful the ceremony & cocktail hour were, the delicious food, and ambiance through the entire day. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure the Bride and Groom are well taken care of the entire night so you can just enjoy every second of the day. We have already planned a trip back for our anniversary and we are so excited to return to this beautiful place!

Right after my ceremony I decided that the shoes I had NEEDED to go. Within 25 minutes, I had a pair of sandals. That’s how good everyone was! We still have people commenting on how courteous and helpful the staff was. Although other weddings happened that weekend, I still felt like the only bride in the building. They were so accommodating. They even helped a bride and her maids that would have had an awful hangover on wedding morning by getting us Burger King late the night before, LOL. Donna and Valarie were gems too. After my bustle broke for the third time, Donna insisted on fixing it for me to the best of her ability, and I was grateful to not continue to fix it for the rest of the day. The staff also set up all of my DIY (there were many) projects exactly or even better than I had instructed and placed them back into their boxes with care. We also held a “Welcome Recpetion” the night before our wedding for the out of town guests. The food and wine was great along with the intimate location that we used. It was the perfect time to sit down with people we don’t see too often and reconnect before our big day. If Saybrook Point Inn is a place that you are considering, just go for it.

om the tour of the inn to the time after the wedding, SPI was always so welcoming and accommodating to all of my questions and requests. The staff was some of the most professionals I have ever met. Sara Sheiffele, the wedding coordinator at SPI, was the best! She was very experienced and hard working while being down-to-earth. She always answered my questions quickly, thoroughly, and honestly, which made my wedding planning experience relatively stress free. Donna, who oversaw the wedding day, was so warm and organized, which calmed my pre-wedding jitters. Joe, my wedding "butler", got me everything I wanted during the reception. My wedding guests complimented on how friendly and attentive the staff was at the reception. And they loved Rory the bartender. What made SPI stand out from other local venues was that it could be a one-stop shop if you wanted it to be. One could have the ceremony, reception, and the post -wedding breakfast, which I had all three. I got a room for the day to get ready, but SPI will give the married couple a room for the night of the wedding. The rooms were clean and spacious with spectacular views! Wedding guests got a discount for their stay, but they were also many local hotels/motels for guests on a budget. There was also Fresh Salt bar, which opened until one a.m., available for after dinner drinks! Food was freakin' fantastic! I had the beef tenderloin with the truffle au jus and it was the best piece of beef I've ever had! From the appetizers to the cake, guests thoroughly enjoyed their meals and were full! Jason and I had the opportunity to go to a tasting so we were able to sample their food before selecting the menu. SPI was not cheap, but you got so much more in service and quality than the other venues I had looked into. Since there was a discount per person during the mid-peak (November, December, April), we decided to have our wedding on November 8, 2014 instead of late September or early October. There was even a bigger discount for off-peak (January, February, March). At least with SPI, they were cut and dry about how much you pay and what you got. Never did they hit us with an unexpected fee. The contract was clear (unlike the wishy-washy one from the now defunct Jordan Caterers at Guilford Yacht Club) and pretty much the wedding package was an all-inclusive deal, which saved us money and time from bartering with different vendors. Most importantly, we were treated like royalty. Even though it has been a month since my wedding, I'm still getting compliments on the event, many coming from guests with very particular tastes! When people say that your SPI wedding was the best wedding ever, then it is recommended that you look into SPI for your next life celebration event! Thank you, SPI!

We were fortunate to have beautiful weather that day so we had the ceremony on their back patio overlooking the marina. Cocktail hour followed also on the patio and the reception in the ballroom. We always had indoor backup locations for the ceremony and cocktail hour because the SPI only hosts one event at a time. We really liked this because we never felt like we were vying for the attention of the staff. The exact opposite actually! The staff checked-in with us even when we weren't reaching out to them to see how everything was going and how they could help. The day of the wedding could not have run any smoother. Everything from the complimentary shuttle that brought our guests from another local hotel to the SPI for the ceremony and reception, to the banquet team making sure the wedding party got plenty of food and drink during cocktail, and finally to Donna making sure we were able to enjoy our meals at the reception amidst greeting all our guests. As if they hadn't done enough, they even surprised us with champagne in our room and complimentary SPI glasses for us to take home at the end of the evening. And we must mention the food. Oh the food! We kept hearing about how great the food was from previous reviews. Well, let us just say - it's true! We attended a group tasting (think "attending a pretend wedding with all the venue's preferred vendors") and the food presented was good. We were happy with it but wouldn't give it it's own paragraph in our review. But on the day of the wedding, the food was INCREDIBLE. Our guests raved about each and every course and the service that went along with it. We truly cannot imagine having had our wedding anywhere else. The entire process was stress-free and fun! We cannot wait to go back to the SPI to celebrate our future anniversaries. It will always have a dear place in our heart.

I knew I wanted to go back to my CT shoreline roots to get married and investigated several of the venues available in the area that offered the elegant, waterfront setting I was looking for. I got the feeling very early on at Saybook Point th...
at we were on the same page in terms of how to throw an elegant and memorable affair - and I was RIGHT. I'm so happy I chose an amazing venue like the SPI that knows what they are doing. They made everything so easy for a busy bride like me! The in-house wedding planning with Sara was perfect, she was responsive to my questions and accommodated the few special touches I wanted to add. Choosing my other vendors was also so easy with SPI's vendor recommendations - it became very obvious that it's a selective list and again made my life so much easier. The week of your wedding is chaos. Know that in advance. However, the staff at SPI handled it all in stride with me as I showed up with tons of boxes for decorations and specialty items. When the day came, they had everything set up perfectly - not a thing out of place. It was actually set up even better than I had pictures in my head. The day itself was fabulous. It's been a month now since our wedding, and I am STILL hearing from friends and family who were in attendance how much they loved the venue. People were just blown away by the food and the service provided by the staff. As well as the unmatched ocean front views and accommodations of course. The staff also helped me just be a bride and enjoy the day as much as possible. Right from when we arrived from the church to do photos, my husband and I were greeted with champagne and passed apps so we didn't miss all the good stuff happening at our cocktail hour. Little did I know it at the time, but that fabulous gentleman would become our "keeper" for the rest of the night (which I say incredibly fondly!). He checked in with us constantly, made sure we ate food, visited tables, danced, etc. Between him, the event manager Donna, and the vendors I had chosen, they orchestrated the most well-run large event I've ever been a part of. I wanted an upscale and classy but fun wedding and SPI was the perfect place to make it happen. I would have my wedding there again in a heartbeat! Do yourselves good ladies, check out the Saybrook Point Inn!

We fell in love with Saybrook Point Inn during our initial tour and knew this is where we wanted to get married.

This is a fun evening where all couples from upcoming weddings get together for a faux wedding with a sit-down dinner to try some of the popular dishes and meet a variety of different vendors. What’s not to love with the beautiful water views and gorgeous ballroom though! On the day of our wedding the service was outstanding, the food was delicious, and the venue was beautiful. We worked with Sara for planning our wedding and she was amazing. I’m not sure how she keeps it all straight, but I never had a worry on my wedding day or throughout the entire planning process. From Sara, Ellen, Donna, Joe and everyone in between, the team here is the best and made the day as memorable as it was. In addition, we just recently returned for our first wedding anniversary. Everyone at the Inn remembered who we were and treated us just as special as they did on our wedding day! I can completely understand why this venue continues to win The Knot “Best of Weddings” award, they will always deserve it!

everything perfect... and in fact, our wedding was just that... A+++! It began last fall with a chance visit looking for our wedding reception site. We fell in love with SPI from the minute we arrived and knew this was where we had to have our wedding reception! While walking around, we were greeted by superstar Dean. He gave us a memorable tour and assured us that it would be the reception of a lifetime! Later we met up with wedding planner extraordinaire Sara who took charge of all of our arrangements. She was professional, knowledgeable and could not have been nicer…..even when we sent hundreds of emails!! Wedding planner Ellen did a terrific job when Sara was on maternity leave and they worked together seamlessly. They also helped with numerous other things like referring hair stylist April Murallo who went right to the bridal suite and did an amazing job! They set us up for quite a day! The day started with the perfect wedding at St. John’s church along with Father Greg and the music of renowned musical director Tim Stella. As we came out of church to head over to the Saybrook Point Inn, we were greeted by the first of two rainbows of the day (sent from heaven!) and the Westbrook Junior Colonials Fife and Drum Corp. We stepped off the Jolly Red Trolley to a glass of champagne and the beginning of our dream evening. Cocktail hour on the patio above the docks was unbelievable. The hor d’oeuvre displays, including specially requested watermelon carvings were out of this world. We also had the Caribbean Vibe steel drum band playing and that along with the second rainbow made that an enchanting experience. Then it was into the main event….Our reception was excellent beyond words thanks that night to Donna and Joe and all the staff. Donna, Donna...we can’t thank you enough for all of the countless things you did (most that we would have never thought of) including sitting on the floor getting a stain out of my dress and bustling it 3 times! Joe anticipated our every need and all of the staff was top notch. The food and ambiance was exceptional and our guests are still raving about the entire experience. We had several special requests and Sara, Donna, the Chef and entire staff, made them all happen. The chocolate devastation cake from one of their recommended bakeries, Pastry Fusion, was to die for. Many recommended The Cartel’s for our band and that was the perfect choice for us. Karen and the whole orchestra had the whole evening choreographed flawlessly and they worked seamlessly with SPI. The dance floor was always full and an awesome time was had my all! We also loved the history and beauty of the entire Inn and especially the guest rooms which were elegant, spacious and luxurious (fireplaces). We know some of our guests have already returned! We stayed on for a few days and were treated like royalty. All staff were special, every restaurant visit was great, the Spa was absolutely wonderful...the experience was magnificent! We highly recommend Saybrook Point Inn to anyone looking for the perfect place for a wedding venue. Thanks to all involved for being a part of our wedding. Dean was so right…it was a fairy tale time of our lives.

Sara gave her all and you could see that she genuinely enjoyed it! Donna was her right-hand woman! She radioed for seltzer when my dress got a stain on it. She and Sara were diligent and undeniably dedicated the entire process, all of the way through the wedding. I was a DIY bride and I went all-out with mason jars! They served as favors, containers, vases, and candle holders so there were probably 19 cases (give or take!). The staff was so accommodating and made me feel like I wasn't the "Crazy Mason Jar Bride." Ed, Bernard, and Francois helped us unload and load (and unload and load!) everything and were just so friendly and helpful. Scott and Brandon at the front-desk were always polite and great with all of our guests. Dean was just amazing to me and my husband, as well as our bridal party. The food was superb. We received so many compliments on everything, from hors d'oeuvres to the appetizer (the ravioli is to die for!) to the entrees. We did buffet-style, and the food was anything but! Nothing was dry or chewy or drenched in sauce. It was all perfectly cooked, presented, and served. I know this is a very long review, and awesome if you have decided to read the whole thing! We loved it there so much that we made a long weekend of it! We were married on a Friday and stayed the Thursday night before until the Monday after! This is the place to have your dream wedding!

s quaint waterfront location is an absolute dream come true! Everything about the inn exudes elegance from the beautiful grounds, the gorgeous foyer, fresh seafood menus, top-knotch spa treatments and old-world-feeling of the oversized, luxurious rooms. It is unlike any hotel or inn out there. You have to go and see it to understand! Sara S. worked and partnered with us from day one, catering to our every need and request with lots of phone calls and email communication. She is extremely knowledgeable and responsive, so it made each step of planning that much easier. She saw too it that the menu was done exactly the way we envisioned, and even secured a private tasting for us. (The inn usually does group tastings). On the day of the wedding she surprised us both by putting us up in most gorgeous Chester Suite - it's like an apartment! This was an upgrade to the inn's standard free night stay for the bride and groom. It was an extremely thoughtful measure! Just in case you’re wondering though - there is honestly no bad room in this place! They are a little pricey in terms of rates, but you are getting luxury, comfort and views that are truly unparalleled! We encouraged our guests to stay at the inn to get the full experience! The rooms have the feeling of a mansion - think marble floors, fireplaces and light blue damask bedding! The day of our wedding went off without a hitch. Sara's dream team was there to pull off each segment seamlessly. Everything was smoothly coordinated and setup just the way we had wanted, from the guest sign-in table, to the candy bar and special menu requests we had made. I remember feeling scattered after my hair got completely windblown during our "first look" photos, but the event banquet girls were up in my rooms with walky-talkies communicating to the team downstairs to delay the ceremony and inform my groom I was running late. Then after the ceremony they put together the ridiculously intricate French bustle on the train of my gown and brought us our own tray of food and champagne, so we wouldn't miss a single aspect of our night. I can keep going, but you get the idea! This place has all the right stuff and more importantly, people to help you create a 5 star wedding from start to finish. Highly recommend the Saybrook Point Inn for an unforgettable experience! PS...they are currently building more suites just down the road. The place is really expanding and growing for all of the future brides looking for the latest and greatest!

Saybrook Point Inn & Spa was the first and only venue we looked at; we instantly fell in love with the place. The marina setting is gorgeous and we loved the intimate feel of the venue. But what sold us was the level of professionalism and ...
service which became immediately obvious to us. As an event planner myself, I knew this was the place for us and felt comfortable leaving the details in their hands. We had the pleasure of planning our wedding with Liz and executing with Sara and Donna - a flawless transition. My husband and I were married October 28, 2011 and it was a perfect day. We could not have found a better venue and group of people to work.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Saybrook Point Inn & Spa. The entire staff went out of their way to cater to us. The food was absolutely sensational and the portion sizes were very satisfying. The bridal suite included in our p...
ackage was gorgeous and provided a perfect spot for me and my bridesmaids to get dressed and to have our visiting hairdresser work on all of our hair-dos. The wedding planner and the banquet manager were ever-present, making sure everything went smoothly and keeping us on schedule. Plus, the newly renovated ballroom was so modern and beautiful that we hardly needed to decorate the space. I wouldn't have changed a thing, and I cannot recommend the Inn highly enough for their amazing customer service, the incredible value for the price, and the fabulous quality of the venue.
