"We attend a gala every January and it's spectacular, especially at night. Once we went in November and it was beautifully decorated for Christmas, It's fun exploring the interesting historical layout. The buffet was tasty and plentiful and the waitstaff attentive. If you are planning a function, you can't go wrong having it here!"

"Birthday party venue for a friend. Absolutely stunning grounds. They had a brunch buffet that had a great variety of eggs, bacon, pasta (delicious), chicken, salmon, and salad. I may have missed a few items, too. There was a pastry bar that had pastries with a jam inside, which were not cooked properly. Waffles with lots of toppings! And a dessert bar which had cupcakes with pistachio frosting and carrot cake absolutely delicious. Of course, there was a bar with flavorful fruit mimosas as well as wines and other liquor choices. It is a wonderful venue I would consider using for showers, weddings, etc. in the future."

"Attended a beautiful wedding for a friend here today. The ceremony was in the sunken garden and the staff seemed very attentive. The horse drawn carriage bringing the bride to the ceremony was a great touch. Afterwards the cocktail hour was top notch. Now, I'm aware that the bride and groom wanted to have a very special day and they did with lobster rolls at the cocktail hour among carving stations, musicians and so much more.service was great and bartenders were friendly. Dinner had no flaws and food was excellent. My filet, mashed potatoes and asparagus were perfect.Only criticism might be that no wait staff came around to ask if we wanted more wine after they first poured at the beginning of the meal. They grabbed the wine glasses pretty quickly. Overall a very nice event and night."

"Saint Clements Castle has it going on! This wedding venue is a well-oiled machine and definitely deserves your consideration. First, it’s beautiful. Second, the staff are efficient. And third, people definitely love it (for these reasons and more). As a wedding photographer, I definitely recommended it!"

"We had our wedding on September 17, 2022 on the Waterford side and it was truly the best experience! The venue itself is gorgeous, from the views of the river, the gorgeous chandeliers, and the perfectly maintained gardens and landscape. On top of that the food was great and then staff was amazing. We worked with Rebecca for the year leading up who helped answer all my questions and kept us organized. The day of, we had amazing planners, Lindsay and Jeri, who were a dream for day of coordination. They helped the entire day run flawlessly, and Jeri was always there to accommodate me and the wedding party with drinks, food, and whatever else we needed. Jeri quickly helped when some pasta spilled on my dress, when I needed something from the bridal suite, and made sure that I ate the day of! I highly recommend this venue!"
