Amarante's Sea Cliff - New Haven, Connecticut

We held our wedding at Amarante's this summer and recommend them wholeheartedly! All of the staff are super nice, responsive and very accommodating. We live in California and communication was always easy, they were even flexible with allowing a family member to do the tasting for us. The food and service were perfect day of. Really felt like we didn't have to worry about a thing.

Incredible venue location and the staff adapted to whatever came their way. The food - the food was INCREDIBLE! If I had a buck for each person that came up to us raving about the food, well, the wedding would have been paid for! Luis was great and was able to cater to our every need. Thanks for an incredible event!

We knew we were in the best of hands for our wedding from our very first visit to Amarante’s. From our initial tour with Dominic, to communicating details with Kayleigh, our rehearsal with Grace, and José and Ivan helping us through the wedding itself, we couldn’t have asked for a better people and venue staff to help host our wedding. We were treated like family and felt so comfortable and taken care of throughout the whole year of wedding planning. Everything ran on time on our wedding day and each detail was attended to so carefully. The view is unmatched and perfect for any event! The food was delicious and plentiful- our guests were so impressed by the quality of each part of the evening- from cocktail hour to dinner to desserts. It was all delicious! The drinks were great and the bartenders were fantastic. All decorations and items we brought in were set up so beautifully and with such care. Choosing to have our wedding at Amarante’s was the best decision we made. Everything was absolutely perfect and we will cherish our wedding day memories at Amarante’s for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much for making our big day so incredible!

My husband and I had an amazing experience at Amarante’s Sea Cliff this September. We moved out of the area, so this was our first time back since we held our wedding reception there over 37 years ago. Many of our friends and family still talk about our reception and we believe it has only gotten better with time. During our recent visit, we were so touched by the personal attention we received from the entire staff. After our wonderful dinner, Bridget took pictures of us in the gazebo and on the lovely grounds. And our heartfelt thanks to Grace who offered to bring us into the ballroom during sunset to relive memories of our wedding. It meant the world to us. We highly recommend Amarante’s Sea Cliff for weddings or any special event. It is a spectacular venue with a caring owner and staff.

Our wedding was absolutely perfect! I wouldn’t change one moment. Amarantes is a gorgeous venue and the staff is amazing. They were all so helpful and did all the decorating exactly how I wanted. The flow of the ceremony and reception was perfect. I had so many guests tell me how amazing the wedding was and it was planned so well. The food was fantastic and they did whatever they can to make my husband and I happy. What a pleasure to work with them.

Had my Thanksgiving meal catered here and it was terrible - See my Yelp review for more details. Think twice before you cater a holiday from there especially if you have a nut allergy. I have catered this holiday for years and all have been doable even if not great. All I can say is thank goodness they included a tray of baked ziti. It was the only decent thing.

Had our daughter's wedding, on 10/25/24 - It was outstanding! The entire experience, the venue, food, service - completely exceeded our expectations! Our guests complemented everything the entire evening. From planning the wedding with Dominic, to the last moment with Darlene who assisted us during the entire event - the experience was remarkable! We give you 10+++, Highly recommend Amarante's!
