Our wedding at the Inn at Longshore was like a fairy tale! We picked the Inn at Longshore for its charming ballroom and outdoor cocktail area with gorgeous backdrop overlooking the ocean. Outside of the Inn’s beauty the food at our wedding was ...
delicious. The Inn provided us with so many fun options to choose from especially for our passed hors d’oeuvres and desserts. The menu that we were able to create felt very personal and we received so many compliments from our guests on how tasty our food was. If the gorgeous venue and outstanding food was not enough, what really puts this venue over the top are all the amazing people that work there. We cannot say enough great things about Laina, our wedding coordinator. She responded quickly to all our questions and was so patient with us, offering great advice as we went through the planning process. Laina was very accommodating making sure our dream wedding became a reality. On our wedding day, Laina took care of us and our guests making sure that event ran smoothly. She is so easy to get along with and while working with her it felt like we were working with a friend that we had known for a long time. We also had the pleasure of working with Christine, Takeya, Adam, Gabriella, Ty, and countless other staff at the Inn who went above and beyond to make our day so special. We could not thank each and every one of them enough for their hard work and support. We truly had the best day ever and wish that we could do it all over again.

aff is just unparalleled. Kristen was the coordinator assigned to us and she was the absolute best - she was so responsive / detail-oriented, answered ALL of my questions, and worked with me to make accommodations for guests! The templates they provided me made planning a breeze and helped keep us organized. All in all, the team at the Inn at Longshore went above and beyond anything I could have expected and I am eternally grateful to them for their time, patience, and professionalism! When you are working with the team there, you know you are working with the best of the best - they have done this for years and they will do anything to make sure you have the best day possible! I didn't have a wedding planner and being able to reach out to Kristen whenever was the greatest help and the perfect balance. Separately, the food is INCREDIBLE! My guests can't stop raving about the quality of the food (wide selection of hors d'oeuvres, super fun and delicious pizza station included, awesome entrees, and incredible passed desserts) - we also had the option to add additional stations if we wanted, but the food was more than enough for my 250 guests!! In short, i cannot give a better recommendation than the Inn at Longshore - you are guaranteed to have an incredible wedding day and you will be continually impressed by everyone including the coordinators, decorators, and waitstaff!

It was the most spectacular night.

She was so careful and thoughtful in her questions both leading up to the day and on our wedding day itself to make sure everything ran as we'd hoped. The food here is amazing. We still have guests RAVING about our cocktail hour and dinner! Lastly, the location is absolutely stunning. It is quintessential New England shoreline chic. We lucked out with a gorgeous day, so our guests were able to enjoy cocktail hour outside. Inside, the Inn is spacious and has plenty of room for your guests to mill and move about. We loved this venue from first seeing it but now that we have experienced our own wedding here, we CAN'T wait to go to one there again. Truly a 11/10 customer service experience and would highly recommend booking!!!

The staff did a wonderful job making a romantic and fun dinner, even with all the Covid restrictions. Everyone was so flexible with us as details changed with the pandemic. On the day of the wedding, the staff was super responsive and helpful. They had ice, water, coffee, and tea waiting for us as we got ready. They managed all the different vendors as they arrived, so all I had to do was focus on getting ready and enjoying the big day. We got lucky with the weather and were able to have our ceremony and cocktail hour outside. The location is simply STUNNING. I never imagined I’d be able to get married in such a gorgeous setting. The cocktail hour was incredible - my guests are still talking about it being the best they have ever attended! The wood fired pizza station is INCLUDED and delicious! Our signature drinks were also delicious and refreshing - perfect for an early evening in July. Once inside for the reception, the staff had extra food for our bridal party while everyone was seated - they made sure we were well fed and had drinks all day and night. The service during the reception was outstanding and the ballroom was GORGEOUS. I can’t say enough good things about Laina and everyone at The Longshore who made our day truly picture perfect!

st off I would say that location is beautiful and the view out back would make a beautiful setting. First off that big white dome seen in the pictures appear to be completely rusted or visibly worn. It really was an eye sore. The outside cocktail area is really nice. My issue with is was that it was mostly a lawn. Thinking about my ladies with sinking heels into the grass. I was also concerned about the rain or mud...which brings us to the indoor cocktail hour back up room. They had a side room with the bar and said that it was where the back up was and the can fit 250 people in. Okay - let me put this into perspective by saying that that is where the bridal party gets ready before the wedding - and that is it's size. I looked at her in disbelief and she said that people can kind of "pour into the venue" if the space was needed. For a larger wedding you would need to put a few tables up on the separate ledge on the same level as the bar. This was not the worst thing in comparison, but I didn't love that. We were looking for somewhere with onsite accommodations for our guests and the inn only had around 6 rooms or so (not their fault). I felt that the rooms are very dingy and old. I believe they really need to update their amenities and the rooms are a tight squeeze for their capacity. Hopefully my review will help out some brides and impact management to make some necessary changes!

Kelsey, This is in response to your review and comments from January 7, 2020: As you have correctly pointed out, The Inn at Longshore is not used to negative reviews. One would venture to say that it is an earned privilege. As other review...
s and over 33 years of historical success would suggest, we provide exceptional service and fare to our guests at a classically gorgeous venue with show-stopping views of Long Island Sound. My team of event and culinary professionals are consistently praised by over-the-moon clients for their attention to detail, unerring work ethic and genuine love for what they do. I have the utmost confidence that all of our events are held to the highest standards in the industry. In response to your comments, I am pleased to confidently address each concern: The white dome that you referred to is painted every year in the Springtime and was painted the week following your visit on May 18, 2019. Our gorgeous, sprawling Great Lawn that leads to the shoreline has been enjoyed by innumerable guests over the thirty-three years that I have owned the business. We take painstaking care in its' upkeep and at no point in time do our wedding guest experience muddy conditions. The side room, or "Drawing Room" is used for both our Winter wedding cocktail hour as well as the location for cocktail hour for our Spring, Summer & Fall weddings in the event there is inclement weather. If the wedding is larger, we gladly offer the Promenade area, the Mezzanine area and the Drawing Room for additional space which, when combined, can amply fit over 220 guests for the first hour of the reception. We have 12 guest rooms which are decorated in a style befitting a traditional New England style Inn. Our guest enjoy the cozy and warm atmosphere that is evident as soon as one enters. As such, we have earned 9 out of 10-start ratings on major travel sites. We are proud to have repeat guests who have been staying with us for over 20 years which are considered members of our extended family. Indeed, they are treated as such by our entire front office staff; many of whom have been in our employ for over 27 years. To address our reception area capacity offerings: Our ballroom is over 3200 square feet with a stage that can fit a 12-piece band and a 420 square foot dance floor. Professional event planning standards allow for 10 feet per guest; needless to say, we have plenty of comfortable space for weddings. Our average wedding size is 175-250 guests. We do host many weddings and we have a team that takes tremendous pride in coordinating and executing these receptions. Our team of event professionals has over 50 years of experience in hospitality combined, and they are complemented by an equally skilled culinary team. While we can appreciate your solidarity to other brides looking for their perfect venue, we cannot condone the spread of misinformation. I hope all who read this will take these factors into consideration while making their decision regarding The Inn at Longshore. Warmly, Rory Tagert Owner The Inn at Longshore

We sampled what felt like 100 AMAZING cocktail hour appetizers & they had a violinist to help set the atmosphere. Inside the Reception room, the tables were set perfectly with options for table cloths & napkins, beautiful floral arrangements supplied by Longshore's favored florist vendors & the Longshore staff treated the entire night as if it was an actual wedding. I highlight this because the tasting was just another reminder of why we chose Longshore.

She coordinated our vendors, helped us through some of the trickier decisions in the process, and even was able to secure tee times at the venue's golf course the morning before the rehearsal dinner. Mary, Takeya, and others helped book out the rooms for not only the wedding party, but also my parents when they realized they wanted to stay there after recognizing that the venue overlooks the water and is a short walk from the beach. I'm honestly surprised that my parents ever left they loved it so much there. In the hundreds of decisions we made leading up to our big day, hands down the best decision was going with Longshore. Beyond the obvious beauty of the venue both inside and out, we haven't been able to keep up with all of the compliments from our guests about how incredible the food was, how friendly the staff was, how good the drinks were, on and on and on... Whether you're from the area and considering Longshore as a local option, or if it will be more of a destination, this is the only place you should get married. Zero regrets from our end, we would do it again in a heartbeat, and we can't express enough our gratitude for how hard the Longshore team worked to make our day absolutely perfect. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Longshore!

mely helpful throughout the planning process and helped us tailor everything to fit our style and vision. If you're lucky like I was to have the ceremony and cocktail hour outside, you won't be disappointed- the pictures are gorgeous! I'd say 80% of our wedding guests were traveling in from other parts of the country and were truly impressed by how beautiful this venue was. The food was so AMAZING that we're still getting a ton of compliments on it. Everyone was really impressed with the level of variety and options for all different dietary restrictions. All the reception food was served at the same time and cooked perfectly, which we've seen issues at with other venues. I think the part my husband and I were most happy with was how attentive entire staff was all day and night to make sure we had everything we needed (as well as the other wedding VIPs like parents of the bride, grandparents, etc). They also did a great job of pacing the day out and keeping us all on schedule. They really are a well oiled machine here and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get married in the Fairfield county area.

We got married at The Inn at Longshore this past Memorial Day. Words truly cannot begin to describe how magical our day was, which was in large part due to The Inn. From each and every staff member, to sales associate and coordinator along the...
way, everyone went completely above and beyond our wildest expectations. Adrienne, our event coordinator, was absolutely phenomenal. She not only answered our thousands of questions, but made us feel so special and not like we were just another wedding. Last but not least... THE FOOD. Wow. Our guests are still commenting to this day on how incredible the food was all night long. The passed hors d'oeuvres to the donut wall.. all delicious. We cannot thank The Inn enough for making our wedding day perfect.

There really is no better place to get married in Connecticut. If you want perfection, look no further. My husband and I had the pleasure of just having our reception at the Inn at Longshore in Westport, CT on April 14, 2018. When first visitin...
g the venue, we had the pleasure of taking a tour and meeting with Christine. Before we even left, we knew this was our venue. The views are breathtaking. Our coordinator for our wedding was Laina. Laina truly is incredible. Her attention to detail is like no other. She offered suggestions, helped us pick our menu and was able to modify and accommodate all of our wishes. Our wedding was perfect from start to finish because of her. No detail was left undone and everything was beyond our wildest dreams. We also had the pleasure of working with Eddie, the banquet manager and Nicole, as well. Laina, Eddie and Nicole are so fun to be around and they honestly just know how to manage and execute a perfect event. Everything went off without a hitch and was truly seamless from the moment we arrived to the conclusion of our event. The caterers, On the Mark, provided the most DELICIOUS food for our guests. This is NOT your average wedding food. We were asked to provide the allergies/food sensativities/preferences of our guests and every request was accommodated. We are still having guests tell us that this was the tastiest food they have ever had at a wedding and that the food was simply delicious. Cocktail hour was phenomenal. The appetizers were unreal. MINI LOBSTER rolls are to-die-for. Pasta station was out of this world. You name it, it was perfect. Desserts were nothing short of phenomenal, too. A heart felt thank you to everyone at Longshore for making our wedding day a dream come true.
