When we arrived at Saint Clements we automatically knew this was our venue! We got married at the Rivers Edge Marina and it was absolutely stunning! Both the inside and outside of the venue were so beautiful and clean. We loved everything about the details and working with the staff here. Alyssa, our sales coordinator was attentive and helpful right from our first meeting. She answered all our questions and made the process so much easier. Autumn, our day of coordinator was so much fun and so helpful. They truly made our experience into the most magical day.

I recently had my wedding at The Loom, and I truly cannot express enough how incredible the entire experience was. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make everything seamless, beautiful, and truly unforgettable. As someone with absolutely no prior experience planning a wedding—and very little time to pull everything together—I was overwhelmed at the thought of how it would all come together. But the team at The Loom made the entire process so much easier than I ever imagined. From the moment I started planning, Mary was there every step of the way. She was kind, patient, and incredibly supportive, always making sure I felt comfortable and confident in each decision. Her warm and calming presence made a world of difference during such a hectic time. Mary really took the time to understand my vision and helped bring it to life with such grace and attention to detail. She’s was absolutely incredible! Bri was also wonderful,—together with Mary, they formed a dream team when it came to coordinating the venue, the guests, and all the logistics that come with hosting a wedding. They both handled the rehearsal ceremony and every little detail with such professionalism and care. It was clear they truly wanted everything to be perfect, and it was. The venue itself is beautiful. The Loom has such a beautiful aesthetic and an incredible ambiance that made the perfect backdrop for our day. My family commented on how beautiful the space was and how smoothly everything ran. Despite the short timeline and my complete lack of wedding knowledge, The Loom helped me pull off a day that was exactly what I had hoped for—intimate, joyful, and stress-free. I’m so grateful to Mary, Bri, and the entire team for making my wedding so special. If you’re considering The Loom for your event, don’t hesitate. They’re simply amazing.

Can't recommend the Haley Mansion enough!!! Besides being absolutely stunning (there are 10,000 amazing places for you and your guests to take pictures), the staff was phenomenal. Joe, Sue, Zac, and Kendra (and others!!) took amazing care of us. I feel like I literally had no thoughts and no stress the day of my wedding because they handled so much. They are so kind, easy-going (but on top of stuff), attentive, and think of everything. The process of booking, planning, etc. was so fun and easy. They are very flexible with the space and let you make everything your own while providing really helpful guidance. It's soooo nice that your guests can stay on site at the Inn and you can have an after party at the Rocks 21 restaurant. Nobody likes a shuttle/uber!! Multiple people told me it was the best organized wedding/after party they've been to. The food is good!! We got a lot of compliments on the food (recommend the lobster bisque!), which I feel is uncommon at a large wedding venue.

From the moment we booked our wedding at Water's Edge Resort and Spa, their team was fantastic at communicating with us every step of the way. They have a great event space that was perfect for our wedding, and they were extremely accommodating to all of our requests leading up to the big day. When rain threatened to put a damper on our outdoor cocktail hour, the staff worked quickly to put together a beautiful backup plan indoors so we could still have the wedding of our dreams. The level of service we received from the entire team at Water's Edge was truly outstanding, and we are so grateful for all their hard work in making our special day a huge success.

We used the Tree Top Room. A little under 100 guests. The outdoor ceremony space is beautiful. It’s deceiving because we were wondering how our guests would fit but it was more than enough. It’s also shaded which was perfect for a hot day. Wedding packages are very inclusive and don’t leave a lot for you to worry about. We went with the Ruby package which included 4 passed apps, a cheese and fruit display, champagne toast, salad course, choice of 3 entrees, wedding cake allowance and center pieces for the reception tables(sweet heart table was an extra fee but was reasonable). We added a late night snack station as well. We worked with Janet and had a Day of coordinator, banquet captain and a bridal attendant. The entire staff were absolutely amazing. We got so many compliments from our guests about how smoothly everything went, how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. If you are looking for an all inclusive place that will literally do everything and take away any chance of stress.. I cannot recommend them enough!! They really know what they are doing!
