Nathaniel Clark House

Nathaniel Clark House is a historic mansion wedding venue in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, offering an intimate setting for celebrations surrounded by New England charm. Built in 1795 by Nathaniel Clark, a descendant of pilgrim seaman Thomas Clark, this property sits on the shores of Long Island Sound and has been carefully transformed by owner Yvette Fournier into an elegant celebration space over the past decade. The venue has served as a filming location for the award-winning independent film 'The World' and stands as a local landmark blending historic character with modern comfort. The property features a spacious back garden with towering maple trees that showcase vibrant foliage during fall months, creating a scenic backdrop for intimate outdoor gatherings. Five bedrooms accommodate up to 14 overnight guests, allowing wedding parties to stay on-site. The venue is conveniently located halfway between New York and Boston, making it accessible for guests traveling from major metropolitan areas. Yvette and her family personally manage the property and work to create a welcoming 'home away from home' atmosphere for couples and their guests. Nathaniel Clark House permits outside vendors and provides a list of preferred local caterers, photographers, and other wedding professionals. Additional accommodation options are available nearby for guests beyond the on-site capacity.
