    We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Saint Clements, and we can honestly say that from start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The sales team (Alyssa, Shelby, and Pam) was so responsive and helpful from the moment we first inquired, guiding us through every step of the planning process with ease. They truly listened to our needs and helped us bring our vision to life. On the day of the wedding, the service was impeccable. The staff (Autumn, Vanessa, and team) went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy every moment. The food was absolutely delicious — our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how amazing the meal was. Every course was served with perfection and the presentation was stunning. The atmosphere was everything we had hoped for, and the venue itself was a perfect backdrop for our celebration. We can’t thank Saint Clements enough for making our wedding day so memorable. From the exceptional staff to the flawless execution of every detail, it was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch wedding venue!

    We got married at Saint Clements Castle last month and it was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the beginning, their communication was quick and efficient which made the booking process so easy. Everyone we worked with was incredibly accommodating and the whole staff was friendly and very nice to work with. The venue itself is so beautiful making all of our pictures exactly what we had envisioned. We had our reception in the Prince Edward Ballroom which was stunning and big enough for all our guests. The castle is so unique which made it truly unforgettable. Our coordinator Shelby was incredibly kind and helpful from the start. She really made our day everything we dreamed of! All of our guests raved about the delicious food and drinks which made the whole night enjoyable for everyone. We can't recommend this venue enough - it was everything we were looking for. Their vendor suggestions, quick responses to our questions and flexibility with requests made wedding planning a breeze!

  • A great venue, with kind staff!

    Saint Clements Castle provided a beautiful venue and kind staff for our wedding day. We especially appreciated our sales coordinator, Alyssa, who was professional, fast, and clear in her communication throughout the planning process. When rain forced us to move the ceremony indoors, the team quickly adapted the art gallery for us. The servers and bridal attendants were also attentive and went above and beyond to help finish set up when our florist left early. Our guests had incredibly kind things to say about the servers, and overall we had a great experience. It was also lovely to have a place that was a one stop shop for event planning! We did lose some decor in the shuffle which was an inconvenience, and some of the instructions for set up I left were not followed (our confetti got lost, only four guests got packets, the bridal suites did not have the supplies we left for them). My husband’s family were also really upset with one of the managers on property who wouldn’t allow them to walk in a covered area and was a bit rude about it, despite an event not happening and the rain being a torrential downpour causing unsafe conditions for his elderly family to walk in. Overall we had a great experience, and would recommend the castle to anyone planning a wedding!

    We were over the moon with our wedding at Saint Clement's Castle. The venue is simply magical - the castle architecture and sweeping views of the water took our breath away and provided a fairy tale backdrop. The team was a dream to work with, very responsive throughout planning and attentive to all our needs and vision. Our day-of-coordinator was a rockstar, making us feel like royalty. Everything flowed seamlessly thanks to her and the staff. The little touches like the heartfelt note at the end of the night were so thoughtful. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the venue and service. If you want an stress-free wedding with wow factor, look no further than Saint Clement's.
