About This Vendor
Casually elegant, beachfront weddings
Dreaming of a casually elegant, beachfront wedding? If so, we invite you to celebrate your love at The Owenego. Here, you will enjoy incomparable water views, outstanding cuisine, and impeccable service. Situated on a grassy knoll, The O, as we are lovingly known, affords sweeping views of Long Island Sound with the legendary Thimble Islands scattered in the backdrop. Many couples choose to exchange their vows on the expansive lawn, nestled in front of our enchanting, waterfront garden. After the ceremony, many Owenego brides choose to kick off their heels and slide on flipflops to fully take advantage of our beachfront location. After a fabulous cocktail hour on our seaside deck, continue the celebration in our historic inn, where the surrounding windows allow the exterior seascape to mingle with the interior decor - a decor that is purposefully neutral in palette so as to best showcase your individual style. While we offer menu packages as a springboard for ideas, we will happily work with you to customize your menu to reflect your personal tastes. Family-owned and operated, our wedding couples and their guests are welcomed as an extension of the family. Here at The O, our gracious staff pays meticulous attention to the details, so that you can revel in each other, your guests, and the magic of the day. Call us today, so that we can help you realize the waterfront wedding of your dreams.

The Owenego was such a beautiful place to get married and the people there are wonderful to work with. John, walked us through everything we needed and helped with everything along the way. Brenda was such a wonderful and warm human being who made sure all my nerves on the day before were smoothed out. They allowed us to do a walk through of what the ceremony would look like the day before and worked with me to ensure our timing was appropriate for the song choices and more. I’m excited to share my pictures with John and his team and am thankful we were able to get married in such a beautiful place.

Our daughter had her wedding late May at the Owenego and the following day, she said it was “the wedding of her dreams.”We could not agree more!! The location is so magnificent. The Allium were all blooming in front of the sea wall; which accented the arch and the decorations. The folks there felt like family. They were attentive, caring , but never intrusive. All the guests raved about the great time they had. It was truly magical! Thanks to all of you for making our daughters wedding a dream come true. You would be very fortunate to have your wedding at this amazing place!

I cannot say enough good things about The Owenego! We had our June 2023 wedding ceremony and reception at the beautiful Owenego Beach and Tennis Club. It was an obvious choice for us--the location on the Connecticut shoreline is stunningly beautiful and must be seen to be believed. The interior reception space is so unique and special--whitewashed post and beam with open rafters, plentiful natural light, and twinkly bistro lights. It hits the perfect balance of elegant but relaxed. John and Pat couldn't have been more lovely to work with--kind, patient, accessible, and professional. They were also incredibly inclusive and supportive of our same-sex wedding--something that is not always a given in the wedding planning process. When the wedding coordinator that we hired disappeared 3 weeks before our wedding, we were panicked until we met with John and Pat. They listened to every concern that we had, and made a plan to ensure that every detail was carried out to our exact wishes. Pat was a joyful and calming presence on our wedding day, and really made us feel special and cared for. It was a truly perfect wedding day and my wife and I are ecstatically grateful to the Owenego staff--they truly care about what they do. Thank you!!!

Our wedding last month at the Owenego was fantastic. We held the ceremony there on the grounds and the reception indoors. The location is beautiful (check out the jetty!) and the staff were helpful. The interior of the club has a slightly rustic feel, keeping the wedding from being to stuffy. I also appreciated that they let us request a special vegetarian entree since I am vegetarian. I felt that they took Covid seriously, and proactively told us about their precautions, and kept us abreast of changes in state rules about gatherings. Even when this pandemic is over, I think this speaks well to their character and care for their guests.My only slight issue and notice for other couples is that they were not the best at email and often did not reply all, so whoever got the reply would have to add everybody (the couple, the planner, and MOB) back to the thread. Not a big deal, just FYI.Thank you!

My husband and I had our wedding at the Owenego a few weeks ago, and couldn't have been happier with that decision. The term \"hidden gem\" doesn't even do it justice, slice of heaven is more appropriate! John and Pat were a blessing as we tried to figure out what to do when COVID hit. They were perfectly flexible and gracefully guided us through the decision-making process. They took every measure possible to ensure that we could have a safe event. Every detail of the actual event was superb - the food was outstanding (one guest said best filet he'd ever had), the setting was ideal (despite a tropical storm a few days before), and the staff was so delightful (Pat was angel helping everything run smoothly and taking attentive care of the groom and me). After the reception, we just couldn't bring ourselves to leave, and stayed for drinks on the deck - again FABULOUS service. I can't wait to visit again!

I have always known that the Owenego was a special place and have grown up going there, but even knowing how incredible it was our wedding at the Owenego was more magical than I ever could have dreamed. John, Pat and all of the staff were so helpful and patient (with my millions of questions) throughout the whole process leading up to the wedding and on the day off we could not ask for better hosts. The staff set up the room perfectly and helped everything go off without a hitch. They were on top of every single detail and were so attentive to us and our guests. They were right by our side reminding us to take a moment for ourselves and to eat and made sure we had everything we needed and more! And of course- you cannot beat the property and the view! I cannot recommend the Owenego as a wedding venue enough!

2 weeks ago my husband and I got married at the Owenego. We are still blown away by how comfortable they made us from day one. They have been so helpful with answering our questions and accommodating all the guests. We are still hearing our guests rave about the venue, staff, and the food! Although the event was a couple hours long, we were able to get to know the staff which made us feel part of the owenego family. Throughout the wedding they made sure we had a drink in our hand, we were eating, and that we were enjoying ourselves. At one point, one of the staff members brought a tray of hors d’oeuvres out on the rocks as we were taking pictures to make sure we ate something. Of course we can’t say enough about the scenery at the Owenego; it was truly unbelievable. All together we couldn’t say anything negative about this venue, staff, food, or view!

If you are considering using The O Club for your wedding, DO IT! John and his team were incredible to work with. Absolutely everything was taken care of for us with the utmost care. I know some are nervous about venues that do not do tastings but I am here to tell you that we heard \"that's the best thing I've ever eaten!\" about absolutely every dish at our wedding from the apps to the carving station. John is the wedding coordinator you want on your team - I never saw him sweat and had solutions to potential problems before I could even ask. Speaking of sweat, I know The O does not have AC, but to be honest it did not feel like it during our July wedding.It was the perfect setting for our laid-back reception. I cannot thank The Owenego enough for making my wedding day unforgettable not only for us, but for our guests as well.

The moment we stepped onto this property to check it out for our wedding day, my fiance and I both immediately felt relaxed. We'd been there before, but this was for such a special event that we had to be sure. The staff is amazing, the facility is romantic and gorgeous, and we even rented out the 6 rooms for us and our party that night so we could stay put! We returned from our honeymoon and are still getting comments about how incredible the food was, and how it was the best wedding our guests had ever been to (we agree!). We ended up moving the ceremony inside due to a little rain that cleared in time for photos, but the guests said having it inside made them feel even more of a part of it. They raved at the quality and amount of appetizers, the dinners, the staff, and the views. We couldn't have been happier. Thank you to the \"O!\"

Owenego did a fabulous job. The staff was friendly, professional and attentive. We received many positive comments from our guests on both the service and the food -- and of course the setting on the water can't be beat. The atmosphere for our wedding was casual and relaxed, which is just what we wanted. This is is a family run business that only books one event per day. You get their full attention and almost feel like part of the family. The only slight negative is the lack of air conditioning, which could have been an issue if the weather had been hotter. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone.

Located right on the Long Island Sound, the views from this place are awesome. The food was really good too. We have a lot of family and friends from the midwest and this was perfect for an introduction to New England. We had a clam bake and everything was perfect!

The staff was amazing, the setting amazing, and everyone who came said it was one of the best weddings they've been to! We had our wedding ceremony on site, and unfortunately Hurricane Irene did some damage to the property. However the site was decorate beautifully with mums and hanging lanterns. One thing that we did that I highly recommend was we had someone come in a decorate the inside. The inside is a little dated (i'm talking about the ivory vine paneling) but it was covered up with tulle and looked gorgeous!!!\r\rThe staff was sooooo helpful and the food was absolutely delicious! I have nothing bad to say about the Owenego. It was amazing!!!

The owenego was beautiful. I was so pleased with the whole day. The food was excellent and the staff helped me feel so comfortable. I didn't have to worry about anything all day. The hurricane had just happened and even though the power came on the day before they were going to do everything possible to make sure my wedding still happened. I would highly recommend the Owenego. It is a beautiful place with the water right outside.

My husband Eric and I grew up in Branford and Guilford, but moved to North Carolina for graduate school. We wanted to get married near our home towns, so we looked fairly extensively along the Connecticut shoreline for a wedding venue. The Owenego was the perfect place - with it's stunning views out over the Long Island Sound and Thimble Islands, and it's classic New England charm. \r\rWe could not have been happier with the service we received from John and Pat Bloomquist and the rest of the Owenego staff. They were always available to meet with us before the wedding, even though we had only a scattered day or two in Connecticut. They were also very accommodating when working with our other vendors. \r\rThe wedding itself was spectacular. The gardens at the Owenego were beautiful (even in October), the lawn overlooking the sound was an idyllic place for the ceremony, and all of the decks were great for our guests for enjoying the outdoors. We had a fun time taking pictures out on the rocks by the beach. \r\rOur guests raved about the bar and the food - everything was delicious and unique (appetizers, salads, soups, entrees). \r\rI have absolutely no regrets about having my wedding at the Owenego. In fact, I can't picture a more perfect place. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a intimate waterside wedding in Connecticut.

The Owenego is located on the Long Island Sound the grounds are simply stunning and guests were impressed before they even set foot into the dining room. The patio area is the perfect place for the cocktail area. My guests couldn't stop talking about the amount of food served during the cocktail hour as well as the quality. While we were unable to do a food tasting we were more than pleased with taste and presentaion of the food on our wedding day. Because there is only one dining area there were no other weddings going on and we had very personalized attention from the Owenego staff in the days and weeks before the wedding as well as the day of the wedding. I would absolutely recommend this venue to a bride planning a wedding in Connecticut!
