Mystic Seaport Reviews

We made the decision to have a tiny covid year wedding in Oct 2020 after our original wedding plans were uprooted. Jenna and all of the staff at Latitude 41 were wonderful and truly made an amazing day for us. The venue was more than helpful ensuring we were able to have the type of day we were looking for. Everyone was attentive, the food amazing, and our day truly perfect thanks to everyone who made it happen at Latitude 41. I highly recommend this venue. If you choose them you will not regret it!

We found this venue to be beautiful, accessible and friendly! The coordinator, Jenna, was organized, professional, and kind. Our wedding could not have been better! The food and the venue were perfection!

My wedding was everything I hoped for and Jenna and the rest of the staff were radiant every time something "went wrong" - I put that in quotes because if I thought something was going wrong they swooped in and then it was like nothing ever happened. It's a beautiful venue and everyone I've talked to since said this was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! Its my first wedding so I didn't know what to do and it was wonderful that Jenna could direct and bounce ideas around. She never interfered with what I was planning just helped me to see any gaps and to find solutions. This was the very best and I'm so happy I chose Latitude 41 as my venue!

Jenna and the team at Latitude 41 were all fantastic! From day one we knew our decision to have our wedding there was the right one. Jenna listened, heard my vision, and followed through beyond my expectations. She was very responsive, gave great suggestions, and made us feel so special. I had the best, most stress-free, wedding day because I knew I could trust Jenna! There are so many details involved in planning a wedding, and Jenna did a great job making sure everything was covered. The food was FANTASTIC -- guests are still raving about their meals. We felt like we got the chance to actually enjoy our night because of the way the team stayed on top of things and kept us in the loop. They kept us well-fed and always made sure we had a fresh drink in hand. The scenery is beyond beautiful, but the staff was the icing on the cake. Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect!

My daughter chose Lattitude 41 based on the rustic nature of the River Room and the Mystic River and boats in the background. Despite the brutal wind outside, the wedding ceremony and reception fulfilled every expectation. The staff adjusted to having the ceremony on the enclosed patio and cocktail hour in the River Room. All the guests raved about the appetizers and dinner. We all danced the night away. The location was perfect for sunset pictures and most importantly, the bride and groom had a wonderful time!!

Our reception was held at Latitude 41 next to the Mystic Seaport. It was absolutely beautiful. Our pictures by the boats and on the Seaport grounds came out beautiful. We reserved the River Room for the reception. The decor and setup was everything we envisioned thanks to our planner Jenna. She also did an amazing job keeping everything running timely and smoothly. All the staff at Latitude was very friendly and helpful!

Alyson was amazing to work with. She would check-in throughout the planning process and was very helpful with making final decisions. The day of, they set up the Boat Shed exactly how I had envisioned and described. They were very attentive to detail. The food was AMAZING and there were many compliments from our guests. The wait staff and our bridal attendant, Carol, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We can't thank them enough!

We are so happy we decided to have our ceremony at the Greenmanville Church and our reception at Latitude 41 this past December. It was wonderful to work with Jenna throughout the planning process, and we and our guests were thrilled with the venue, food, and staff.

We held our wedding at Latitude 41 on July 7th, 2017, and it was hands-down the best day of our lives, thanks to this beautiful venue and professional staff.
PLANNING: The planning process was seamless working with Jenna Landon who is their coordinator. During planning meetings, we sometimes came "unprepared" and she offered many helpful ideas. She responded quickly to emails, and even last minute requests. Jenna is a consummate professional. Simply put, she gets the job done. Our event was literally flawless thanks to her hard work, attentiveness, and impeccable eye for detail.
VENUE: If you visit the venue you will see that the setting is beautiful. The North Lawn is a gorgeous stretch of green grass that they keep pristine. The morning and afternoon of our wedding saw several inches of rain, and still, the lawn was dry and ready for guests when they arrived. The River Room has a lot of character (in a good way!) and the setup (including bar, dance floor, and cocktail hour) was perfect.
STAFF: Wonderful!
FOOD: We had heard the food was good, and had tasted it and thought it was delicious as well, but are always skeptical of "wedding venue food." However, it did not disappoint. We thought the food was even better on the day of our wedding than when we had done a tasting. Our guests raved about their steak and salmon, and the apps (none of these were "upgrades" to the menu).
ADVICE: Add an extra half an hour to the event (we did and it was well worth it!) and rent the North Lawn!

We had our reception here in September and it was amazing. Our event planner went above and beyond in making sure our special day was perfect. She was always reachable and responded very quickly to all our questions and emails. Everyone was extremely professional, very approachable and kind to our guests. They were able to accommodate all of our guests needs and make last minute adjustments for us. The venue was beautiful, very clean, and had an amazing of view of the water. We couldn't be happier with the way the reception turned out. Also, being a gay couple we were a little worried, but it was a non-issue with everyone we interacted with. They made us feel very comfortable and at ease, and it really enabled us to enjoy the day as any other couple would.

Amazing view , amazing staff , amazing food! We couldn't have asked for a better venue!

When we visited Latitude 41, we immediately knew this was the venue for us. We had our ceremony on the North Lawn and reception inside the River Room. It was absolutely gorgeous. Besides the aesthetics, our wedding coordinator Jenna was incredibly flexible, responsive, and well-organized. She gave us honest advice and made sure our day was exactly our vision: from the food to the floor plan to individual candles. We spent our whole honeymoon talking about how perfect our day was!

We got married at Mystic Seaport this June and could not be happier. We had our ceremony on the North Lawn and reception in the River Room. There are a few location options on site but we loved our choice because it was a great indoor/outdoor flow. Cocktail hour was held on the patio and after dinner guests were able to grab some fresh air on the patio as well. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful day, and let's face it, everybody is happy on their wedding day, but our day could NOT have been better. Our coordinator, Jenna Landon, was awesome since they day we booked the venue. She was always professional, organized and attentive. I admittedly wasn't the most organized bride during the planning process but she was always patient and had a great attitude during the whole process. They offered a lot of flexibility with the menus, general setup and extras. You really can't go wrong with menu options because the chef and restaurant our totally on point. I'm a vegetarian and Jenna was quick to point out if their were any meal items that I should look out for. As everyone told us, your wedding night will fly by but you won't want to miss out on your dinner. We still regret not wrapping up a few of the risotto cakes for later in the night! Also, "wedding food" is commonly sub-par or what I like to refer to as "banquety" but our guests are literally still raving about the food. We took our photos throughout the seaport grounds prior to the ceremony and our bridal attendant, MJ, was so great at keeping up with our wild wedding party. She was also very helpful at the end of the night when we had to pack up all our decor. One thing I'll note, is be sure to have a few members of the wedding party stay behind after the last dance to gather all the centerpieces and decor. To sum it up, it was awesome and you will not be disappointed!

Everything was absolutely perfect!!! We had the best time and couldn't have asked for better service. Kimberly (day-of coordinator) and C.J. (day-of bridal attendant) really went above and beyond to make everything beautiful, run smoothly and taste good!!! Alyson Clark was our wedding coordinator and throughout the entire process was extremely responsive and informative. She always made us feel like her #1 priority although I'm sure she had dozens of other weddings she was responsible for. She never told us what other couples did but instead listened to what we wanted and gave us advice only if and when we asked for it. Alyson really made our vision come to light and she went above and beyond for us. She and everyone else at Latitude 41 are true professionals. Our wedding was so much fun for all of our 165 guests and everyone raved about the food, the unique location and the overall feel of our wedding. We held our ceremony at a local church and then came to Latitude for photos, cocktail hour out on the North Lawn and then the reception in the River Room. C.J. came along with us, the bridal party and the photographers throughout the Mystic Seaport and pointed out spots that work well for photos. She was super friendly and accommodating. She held up my veil so it wouldn't get dirty and held my flowers at certain points. She just made taking the photos so easy! When we got back to the cocktail hour she got our favorite drinks ready and got us a whole plate of food so that my husband and I could eat some of the food while enjoying our cocktail hour as we chose to enjoy the time with all of our guests. Throughout the whole night she was proactive in getting us drinks and checking in with us. She was awesome. Kimberly and her team made the whole event run smoothly and made sure the food came out quickly and correctly for all of our guests. Everything exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier with our choice.

The event planner was very helpful and professional throughout the wedding planning process. She responded usually within and a half hour of receiving any question that I had for her which really kept the stress down! The venue is beautiful and having the entire wedding in one location made the whole event flow so smoothly. The guests commented how they liked not having to drive. I would recommend and rave about this venue to anyone who asked!

I absolutely love Jenna Landon. I had looked at one venue before the seaport and I was so sad to find out their coordinator and I did not hit it off. Back to the drawing board I went...all I wanted was to find the perfect venue on the water...AND I DID! Jenna was amazing. She answered the million emails I sent her throughout my 11 month engagement...trust me, I had a lot. And the day of the wedding she set up everything for me, whether it was my guest book, candy buffet, favors...anything...she had it set up by the time I arrived at the venue for the ceremony. We had a few mishaps that were out of the venues control the morning of the wedding, but Jenna handled the situation really well. The guests absolutely loved the food they served, I had a buffet for 90 people and the line went through SO fast without any problems...actually, I think I am going to be dreaming of pecan Gorgonzola stuffed mushrooms for weeks to come. The venue was absolutely stunning and whats better than a venue that comes with the linens already available. If I could do my wedding all over again I would always pick coastal gourmet and Jenna Landon. I cannot say enough good things about her.

Absolutely amazing! Beautiful location, delicious food and excellent service! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to work with an outstanding venue!

We got married this July and had the most beautiful wedding reception. Everything was perfect. We worked with Jenna through the process and she was extremely helpful and gave us great ideas for our nautical reception. Jenna set up everything exactly as I had envisioned it. It was the perfect wedding day. The new dance floor was great! The food was great! The service was great! I wouldn't have changed a thing.

True professionals that treated my wedding like it was their one and only. Words canny express how much I appreciate the detail and effort they put into my wedding and made it look effortless! They truly gave me the perfect wedding!!!

The event planners that we dealt with (Jenna and Allison) were both exceptional -- they do all of the behind the scenes work for you and they made our wedding day perfect! On the day of our wedding we had a wonderful bridal attendant who helped us with anything and everything we needed! The site is gorgeous, the presentation of every aspect of the day was beautiful, and the food is delicious! One of the greatest parts of the package was that they have a professional pastry chef who created an incredible cake for us! This is the PERFECT place to get married!!!

The River Room at the Seaport was the BEST place we could have chosen to have our wedding reception. The view of the Mystic River is amazing and having cocktail hour outside under the tent was one of the guest’s favorite parts of our wedding! We arrived by boat and all of the guest’s gathered on the North Lawn to watch us come in – that was a big hit and so much fun!! The room is the perfect size for 200 or less guests and had a wonderful nautical vibe to it, which is exactly what we wanted. The dance floor was the perfect size for lots of people dancing and having that big bar was great, there were no lines for drinks all night. We also got access to the entire seaport for wedding party photos which was awesome! The staff at the seaport was incredible! The bar tenders were dancing along with the DJ and guests as we danced and everyone was having a great time!! Maureen who was our personal waitress that day went above and beyond to make sure our food was good, our drinks/waters were always full, and to make sure we had everything we needed. She was AMAZING and we can’t thank her enough!!! I highly recommend the River Room for a wedding…ours was everything we could have imagined and more!

Mystic Seaport/Latitude 41 (formerly Seamen's Inne) is such a unique venue. I can't imagine a more perfect place to have our reception. We walked all around the Seaport for our First Look and got some amazing pictures. The River Room in Latitude looked incredible! It truly captures the "rustic elegant" look. It captures the elegance of a wedding, while also allowing guests to feel comfortable. Also, the North Lawn was beautiful and a great place for our guests to hang out on during cocktail hour. The scenery could not be beat.

Latitude 41 is formerly known as Seaman's Inn at the Mystic Seaport. Beautiful location, amazing food, and overall a success! The wedding coordinator, Amy, is wonderful to work with. I highly recommend this location.

We celebrated our 25th Anniversary Vow Renewal at the Seaport. We used the Morgan Suites. We could not have asked for a better venue and a more caring staff. We did our planning long distance by phone and e-mail. We only met in person once before the big day. Everything was perfect!! We would never hesitate to use this venue again!

Everyone on staff was pleasant to work with and kept us at ease for both the planning and reception iteslf. And the food was amazing!
