Based on previous reviews of weddings at the Colony, we lowered our expectations for wedding day but stuck with the venue as it is stunning, large enough for all of our guests, and in our preferred location of Kennebunkport. Our wedding exceeded expectations and was PERFECT, other than the cloudy day. Nicole is the best! Since we started planning over a year ago, there have been three different wedding coordinators at the Colony and we are SO grateful that Nicole was the one with us in the final months and on our day. She really executed every little detail of our day to make it perfect. Nicole provided such great insight and recommendations, a testament to her years of experience. The Colony is lucky to have her! Of course we could not have had such an amazing wedding weekend without the wonderful staff at the Colony. We are seriously blown away by all of the hotel staff and the staff on the day of, they were extremely prompt, professional, and helpful to make our vision come alive and stick to our requested timeline. The chef and kitchen staff were able to serve 190 entrees in 20 minutes, incredible! The food was also delicious, we received several compliments about the appetizers, entrees, late night food, and morning after breakfast. Most of our guests stayed at the Colony and found the rooms lovely and comfortable. The new Coveside rooms provided a great option for guests seeking more modern accommodations.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I searched for the perfect wedding venue, we had only two "requirements". A water and mountain view. It's easy to say that Brewster's newly renovated Rogers Building fits the bill perfectly. As a graduate of Brewster, it was incredible to see this space take on a new form that is perfectly designed for an array of purposes and functions. The general aesthetic is modern and sleek but also allowed us to decorate and customize the space for our reception. Having a kitchen and bar steps away from the seating area allowed for easy access to food and drinks while still having room for 20 guest tables and a dance floor. There was plenty of space for our DJ with ample room for speakers, uplighting, and more. The service we received was stellar. The kind staff was friendly and helpful throughout the night and went above and beyond to provide a quality atmosphere and fantastic food to our guests. My husband and I were thrilled to be the first couple to use this space for their wedding reception. We highly recommend the Rogers Building to couples who are looking for beautiful views, friendly service, modern amenities, and competitive rates.

Lake Shore Village Resort exceeded our expectations in every way. The communication with their coordinator, Sarah, was efficient, helpful, and quick throughout the planning process. She provided wonderful suggestions and guidance to tailor the weekend to our needs and desires. The quality of their work and the overall value was outstanding - the venue was beautifully decorated, had a wonderful community-oriented and fun vibe, and provided a serene and playful environment for us and our guests to relax and enjoy the lake activities like kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing. Everyone was so comfortable in the lovely lake houses, and we all had an incredible time bonding together by the water.

The Oceanview Of Nahant 

5.0

Nahant, MA
  • Up to 220 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

Nestled on one of the most breathtaking, picturesque points of the Atlantic Ocean, The Oceanview of Nahant offers three spectacular options to say “I Do”. Featuring the beautiful Beach Stone Terrace; outside overlooking the sparkling waters of the great sea, the romantic and ethereal Tent on the Terrace, available only during those cooler New England months, or the majestic grand Ballroom; intimately inside where picture windows frame your ceremony while waves gently crash in the background. Whatever option you choose, your wedding day will be truly magnificent!

The Oceanview of Nahant was the 2nd and last wedding venue we toured because we immediately fell in love. Photos cannot do the Oceanview justice - this venue is immaculate, swoon-worthy, and a ‘hidden gem’ just outside of Boston! By some miracle, they had a last-minute opening for an evening wedding and we planned our "simplistic, but elegant with a touch of nautical" dream wedding in just under a year. From our tour with Brenda (Owner) to our wedding day, everything was flawless. My husband and I cannot praise the staff enough, but a huge shout-out goes to our point of contact & day of coordinator, Allison (Director of Weddings & Events). She went above and beyond, answering all of our questions, including working with her bartenders to ensure our special signature raspberry sangria was a hit and that everything ran like clockwork on the big day. We also want to thank Lish, our co day-of coordinator, for being so joyful and also making sure our moving our florals from the ceremony to the reception looked perfect. Our guests raved about the food (the lamb passed apps were a hit!) and enjoyed exploring all the different spaces from ballroom to cocktail lounge, terraces & “lawn” games! It's been just over a week since our wedding, and we’re still in awe of our day. If you are considering having your special day at the Oceanview, book it. It's worth every penny.

Cambridge Boat Club 

5.0

CAMBRIDGE, MA
  • Up to 120 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

Cambridge Boat Club is a social and rowing club, located on the banks of the Charles River overlooking Eliot Bridge. Originally built in 1909, CBC was picked up in its entirety and rolled upstream to its current location in 1947, to make room for the building of Memorial Drive. Featuring vaulted ceilings and dark exposed beams akin to a ski chalet, and double french doors opening to a full length veranda, CBC offers a unique, rustic setting for any event.

The Cambridge Boat Club was the perfect choice for our New England fall-themed wedding! It is an absolutely gorgeous location on the river with just the right amount of historic charm. We had originally considered going with all-inclusive venues, but ultimately opted for the flexibility we had with the CBC to craft our own vision. The venue features two distinct rooms, a larger room called the Drinkwater room, which can be used for the wedding dinner, the Club Room, which was used for cocktail hour and the dance floor, and a porch, which has a stunning view. The layout perfectly accommodated both the party enthusiasts and our more introverted guests, who preferred quieter spaces for rest and socialization away from the dance floor. Opting for this venue requires a more DIY approach compared to all-inclusive options. Since it is a historic building, there are some restrictions to be aware of, e.g. no sparklers or ceiling drapery, and existing wall decor generally need to stay on the wall. This was no issue for us since we had a clear vision for the wedding theme and decor, and enlisted the help of Tastings Catering (highly recommend, since they have previous experience working in this space and also handle some of the decor) and Designlight. Major shoutout to Katie Donnelly, the club manager at Cambridge Boat Club, who always responded in record time to all our inquiries and provided helpful guidance. With everyone's help, we were able to create the wedding of our dreams!
