Amarante's Sea Cliff

Amarante's Sea Cliff is a family-run waterfront venue on Morris Cove in New Haven, Connecticut, offering private spaces for weddings, family celebrations and corporate gatherings. Set beside Long Island Sound, the property has two separate event buildings, each with its own deck, so organisers can host their group in a private setting.

The Grand Ballroom accommodates around 125 to 280 guests and offers room for dining, dancing and entertainment, along with expansive water views. The Inn provides a more intimate option for groups of approximately 50 to 150, with indoor and outdoor areas close to the shore. Both spaces can be arranged to suit the event format and guest list, and complimentary on-site parking is available.

For weddings, couples can hold a ceremony on the waterfront lawn near the gazebo, then continue to cocktails and the reception without changing venues. The team can help with planning, ceremony coordination and menus prepared in the venue's own kitchen. A full-service bar and audiovisual facilities are also available, subject to the chosen arrangements.

Private events include bridal and baby showers, birthdays, anniversaries, quinceañeras, Sweet Sixteens and holiday parties. Businesses, non-profits and community groups can enquire about meetings, conferences, fundraisers, galas, awards dinners, networking events and company celebrations. The venue offers flexible room layouts, Wi-Fi, presentation equipment and event menus, with a dedicated team to coordinate the details. Organisers can contact the venue to discuss their date, guest numbers, space and menu options or arrange a tour.
