Mystic Yachting Center — knot so loud

Calling all brides-to-be and anyone who is planning a party in Mystic!

I received an exclusive invite to a cocktail party at Mystic Yachting Center at Mystic Shipyard last week. It recently had been renovated and updated event spaces. I’ve lived here in Mystic for the last decade and never seen this gorgeous venue in person! I was blown away by the nautical touches of the center. Especially the vaulted shiplap ceiling on the upper level! The entrance foyer was very open and welcoming, the walls were covered with photos of New England scenes.

It’s the ideal location for a nautical wedding for sure! The tablecloths even had beautiful blue and white waves design on them. There was a beautiful picturesque and panoramic view of the boat marina and Mystic River.

The venue is small and intimate, which would be perfect for weddings/parties/events up to 160 people. For more information, please contact the venue about the capacity limits. The center consists of lower level which was the event space/cocktail hour space with in-house kitchen. The upper level is the larger room with a dance floor, ideal space for receptions. Both levels had bathrooms and is handicap accessible. Plenty of parking for everyone!

At the cocktail party, we ate some appetizers and New England Paella while enjoying some live music. The event was set up like it would be for an event/wedding. It was gorgeously set up with that nautical charm. You couldn’t beat the waterfront views out of the large glass windows from the upper ballroom! It was a cloudy night so unfortunately we missed out on the sunset, but I know sunsets in that area are amazing! I highly recommend you to contact Mystic Yachting Center for your next party/event/wedding!
