Amarante's Sea Cliff

Amarante's Sea Cliff is a family-owned waterfront wedding venue located in New Haven, Connecticut, set along the shores of Long Island Sound. The venue's history dates back to the Roaring Twenties, when guests danced to big band music and frequented the basement speakeasy. Today, couples can exchange vows on the private sea cliff and host cocktail hours on the expansive wraparound deck overlooking the Connecticut shoreline. The venue offers two distinct event spaces. The Inn accommodates up to 150 guests and features a wraparound porch, open deck, and wall of windows framing ocean views. The Grand Ballroom holds up to 250 guests with vaulted ceilings and an open deck positioned at the water's edge. Both spaces provide sunset views of Long Island Sound. The lower level includes a private deck with full outdoor seating, bar, and restrooms. Amarante's Sea Cliff provides on-site catering with customizable menus featuring filet mignon, chicken Florentine, baked stuffed lobster tail, and additional entrees. An international team of chefs and banquet managers handles food service. The venue has received multiple WeddingWire Couples' Choice Awards from 2013 through 2025.
