Mystic Yachting Center

We held our rehearsal dinner for 67 guests at the Mystic Yachting Center. Every single thing was perfect. The venue is simply amazing! Spectacular view, surrounded by boats and water, great sunset. The food was delicious. For cocktails downstairs and on the deck we had pimento cheese crostinis, smoked salmon on bread, scallops wrapped in bacon. They even recreated my son’s favorite cocktail meatballs from his grandmother’s incomplete notes, perfectly. Everything was delicious! Upstairs for dinner we had 3 stations. My favorite, the paella was outstanding with tons of local seafood and huge shrimp! Better than any restaurant I have had it in. The guests also raved about the carved pork and the fajita bar. Heart shaped brownies with pink icing and an ice cream bar for dessert– delish!
Ocean Blue Catering and Katie were so great to work with– flexible and very professional. Katie had so many great suggestions for food, decorations, champagne toasts and the bar. We were able to personalize our event with a favorite family recipe and decorating touches that were important to us and they took care of all the rest. Highly recommend this amazing venue!

Came to the Mystic Yachting Center for the Mother’s Day brunch hosted by Ocean Blue Catering. The venue is beautiful. Great views of the mystic waterfront. The brunch was 33 $ a person and included coffee and juice. The food overall was good quality. I got an omelette with blue crab, cheese and tomato. The omelette was not prepared with much precision, as most of the ingredients were still cold. The pan lake station was cool, you could put a whole bunch of things in your pancakes. A little kid got pancakes with gummi bears! So cray! The unlimited shrimp cocktail was great. The shrimp were large and luscious. Most of the god was good. The only complaint I had was that some ‘hot’ items were less than warm. I was not impressed with the service. I wouldn’t expect coffee drinks and water to be self-​serve at a venue like this. The waitstaff made few visits to our table, and when they came by, they didn’t clear empty plates. Had to ask the server to clear some plates to make some room on the tables. I guess the experience was a little below par for the price tag, as with just a little extra effort on the part of the caterer, it could have gone from an OK experience to and awesome experience.

I just had my wedding at the mystic yachting center and although the venue was gorgeous the management is horrible! We paid a hefty sum for our 36 guest affair for only a ceremony and social following. She started off very accommodating and in the end they were very disorganized! We were told two days prior that we would need to take all of our decorations with us when we left the day of the ceremony (after never giving a time restraint) and that we needed to be out for a rehearsal that would be taking place that evening. There were random people sitting in my bridal room who didn’t even acknowledge my presences which as a paying client seems unprofessional and low class not to mention rude. It’s a true disappointment because the venue is gorgeous but not worth the hassle and frustration steer clear of mystic aquariums yachting center.
