We got married at the Beauport last weekend and are still beaming with how amazing the night was. We chose to get married at the Beauport as we immediately felt confident in the entire event staff to run a seamless event and that there would be little stress for us day of and this could not have been more true. Melissa was our coordinator and from our first meeting to the night of she was absolutely amazing to work with. She was on top of everything and every detail the night of the event, at one point she was on her hands and knees sewing my dress. She was INCREDIBLE to the point where a number of guests pointed out how amazing of a coordinator she was and how nice it must have been to have her looking out for us all night. Aside from Melissa being amazing, she stayed through the entire event (which often times you don't see at other venues). The food was amazing, especially the passed apps, and the venue itself was gorgeous and required minimal decor! I wish we could relive our day a million times again, however the Beauport will always hold a special place for us now.

Just magic. From the tour, to the planning, to the execution, Beauport Hotel does it right. Our coordinator Amanda was incredible - made us feel so relaxed, kept us in order, set up our decor to perfection, and just made the whole process seamless. They offered a generous discount as we got married in off season, so we were able to host 111 of our friends and an affordable cost. We have received so many notes that the food was the best they have ever had at wedding. Not to mention the venue is beautiful - don’t have to do much to make the ambiance a dream. Not to mention the sunsets - do yourself a favor and get married at the Beauport Hotel!

Works can not express how amazing the Beauport is for a wedding. We got married on 01/04/2025 and it truly was the most perfect night. Brittany our wedding coordinator made the entire process seamless. We had so many people come up to us after to let us know how amazing she was and how perfect the entire wedding was. The food, the decorations, the scenery, the staff, it was all AMAZING. We can not recommend the Beauport enough to anyone considering a winter or summer wedding. We can not wait to celebrate all of our anniversaries for years to come!

We got married at The Beauport on 10/6/24 and had an incredibly perfect day thanks to the entire Beauport staff, and more specifically, our coordinator Amanda! We visited The Beauport on the coldest day of 2023 when looking for venues, and despite the freezing weather, we knew almost instantly during our tour this would be where we would have our wedding. Our biggest wish was to have a wedding that felt unique and authentic to us, and that's exactly what we experienced. When we met with Amanda and communicated that we hoped to have a day full of love and celebration not just about us, but also our friends and family who have supported our relationship through the years, she helped our vision come to life. From answering our sporadic emails instantly in the weeks leading up to our wedding, to giving me the kindest reminder of how much we deserved this day before I walked down the aisle, and even getting me my own individual bowl of my favorite hors d'oeuvre during cocktail hour, we felt so taken care of, seen, and like true collaborators with Amanda. Our guests also enthusiastically praised the entire staff, bartenders, check-in, waitstaff - they’re all ready to return for a weekend away themselves. Also of course a quick shout out to the bartenders at the lobby bar who took care of us and our guests after our reception into the late night! And if you're on the fence about late night chinese food? Take it from us, your guests will rave about it every single time they see you after your wedding. Thank you to everyone at The Beauport for everything, we can't wait to celebrate our anniversary there in the future!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Beauport Hotel in September, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Melissa was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. I trusted her expertise and all of her advice was spot on. I will never forget how hard she worked to take care of us on the day of our wedding. She took care of all the day of details and made it so easy for us to be in the moment and just enjoy our big day. My husband and I were stress free the whole day because of her and the Beauport Weddings Team. I still cannot get over how beautiful and fun our reception was, and my guests absolutely loved everything from the beautiful deck to the delicious food. I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else!!

I booked a room block at The Beauport Hotel for my wedding. The hotel itself is stunning and the location is incredible, however there was a lot of miscommunication and lack of organization from the hotel when guests tried to book rooms. Guests were misinformed that our room block was full on multiple instances, when in actuality it never filled. On two occasions, guests were told that our wedding was "not in the books." When these issues were raised to hotel management, my husband and I were met with several hypothetical excuses for why these things happened without any actual accountability, as they continued to happen. Additionally, on the morning of the wedding, my bridesmaids were forced to switch their room while in full hair and makeup without assistance from hotel staff because the room they stayed in the night before the wedding was "too nice" to be considered a part of the room block for the night of the wedding according to the front desk who contacted them. I absolutely would not recommend this hotel to anyone considering a room block here.

out the issues you encountered with the Beauport Hotel room block team, especially on such an important day. It’s incredibly frustrating when communication and organization fall short, particularly when they affect the experience of you and your guests.
I’m sorry that there wasn’t more support from the staff in that moment.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and I wish you and your fiance all the best moving forward.

My husband and I got married at the Beauport 9/27/24 and it was our dream wedding. The venue was perfect, so beautiful inside and out! The staff was incredibly helpful and spoiled us during our special stay! Special shout out to Amanda, our coordinator, who helped facilitate and organize our perfect wedding day! She was detail oriented, an amazing listener and her one passion was to ensure we had a smooth, perfect wedding day! She was attentive and communicative throughout the entire process from the day we got assigned to her! She went above and beyond for us and our day wouldn’t have been nearly as perfect without her help! We can’t recommend Beauport enough! We are so excited to vacation there for every anniversary to come!!

Everything about our wedding at the Beauport was beautiful and seamless! Our event coordinator, Melissa, was very helpful and attentive throughout the planning process, but she blew us away with how on top of things she was the day of the wedding. I swear multiple times, I briefly needed something and then Melissa would materialize out of thin air with whatever it was. She has clearly mastered being helpful without being in the way, and her guidance and help was invaluable! Plus you can't go wrong with the views, food, and ambiance at the Beauport. Everything was just beautiful, and we can't wait to have an excuse to go back and spend some time relaxing there.

Beyond exceptional experience at the Beauport Hotel for our wedding! The location itself is breathtaking and everything we wanted (we LOVE the beach)! It was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, the venue exceeded our expectations in every way possible, even beyond what I could imagine. Brittney was my coordinator, who was incredibly attentive throughout the entire process. We did have our ceremony at Saint Ann's Church down the street, and even though our ceremony was not on site, Brittney had everything coordinated so seamlessly!! Her dedication and professionalism ensured that everything went smoothly, both during the planning stages and on the wedding day itself. Her support and attention to detail made a significant difference and helped make our day so perfect. The food was absolutely amazing. We’ve received countless compliments from our guests about the delicious and beautifully presented dishes. It’s clear that the Beauport Hotel takes great pride in their service, and it truly made our special day unforgettable. We also decided to host a post wedding brunch for our guests who stayed at the hotel. Again, the food was amazing, the presentation and everything about it was just way beyond my expectations! If you’re looking for a venue that combines fantastic food, exceptional service, and a beautiful setting, I wholeheartedly recommend the Beauport Hotel. Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable! It really was my dream wedding!

Literally the BEST. Our coordinator Brittney was excellent. She was kind, knowledgeable, responsive and just overall so amazing to work with. She answered every question and concern and gave us so much confidence along the way.
From the moment we checked in, everything was absolutely perfect. Our room was ready early and we were welcomed with a bottle of sparkling wine and a nice card. The bridal suite was spacious and had great lightening. We had breath taking views of the ocean and even got to over look the event deck. The roof top pool was a favorite spot for us and our guests to hang out during the weekend. The food was AMAZING and the staff was great!
Our wedding day was absolutely seamless, it ran like a well oiled machine. All of our guests were commenting on how great the apps and dinner was and how great the event space was. One thing our older guests enjoyed was that there were some tables set up in the side room where dessert and coffee was served. They could enjoy themselves without the loud music/ partying. The dance floor was the perfect size for our 170 guest wedding.
One thing that really stood out to us was when we returned to our room that night, our large floral arrangements were set up in our room with a very nice hand written card and gift from the Beauport. We felt so special.
I feel like I could go on and on and on about how amazing this venue was. Worth every single penny and second we invested planning.
My husband and I can't thank the Beauport enough. <333

We had a wonderful wedding at the Beauport in August 2024. The setup and decor was lovely and the food was amazing. The highlight of our experience at the Beauport was working with day of coordinator Amanda. She was extremely responsive throughout the planning process and made sure I had nothing to worry about on the day of. Highly recommend this venue. Would get married here a million times over.

The Beauport was truly the best place we could’ve had our wedding. We booked beginning of 2023 for a September 2024 wedding then earlier this year found out we were expecting our first child. With that being said, the Beauport accommodated us in July of this year on a Thursday and went above and beyond to meet our expectations. We worked with Melissa and she was flawless. Even through the stress of a wedding happening sooner and being pregnant she made sure that everything was perfect leading up to and on the day of the wedding. We felt like everything was exactly the way we wanted it and felt no extra stress. Everyone commented on the flow of the day, the decor, the food, the location and we wish we could live it all over again! Have your wedding here- you will not regret it!!!

We got married at The Beauport in May of 2024 in I still have a hard time putting into words just how perfect it was. The property is stunning and speaks for itself – but one of the things we loved the most about it was having a central location for all of our guests. The hotel is a perfect place for everyone to be and gather. It really helped to extend the celebrations and it made the entire weekend feel so special. Our guests were able to all visit and mingle Friday night before the wedding, Saturday morning before the reception, Saturday night after the reception ended, and even Sunday morning at our post wedding brunch.
The team at The Beauport is incredible and we truly can’t think of one thing that went wrong because of all their hard work and attention to detail. Melissa was our event coordinator and from our first planning meeting, she was nothing short of amazing. Our day went so seamlessly and perfectly because of her, and she truly helped bring our vision to life. Everything exceeded our expectations. Our guests are still talking about how perfectly the day went from start to finish - and my husband and I felt the same way the entire weekend. She helped to take care of us, our family and entire bridal party. Whether it was helping to bustle my dress right after the ceremony ended, or making sure we all were fed with cocktail hour food and our signature drinks before our big entrance. She was so amazing to work with and we can’t recommend her or The Beauport enough!!

Book your wedding at the Beauport!!! Beauport was truly our dream wedding venue based on so many factors but to name a few it is a stunning venue, the food is absolutely delicious, the service and attention to detail is above and beyond, and our coordinator Melissa made the planning and day of process unbelievably smooth! We got married 3 weeks ago today and our friends and family cannot stop raving about the Beauport and neither can we! We cannot wait to go back to the Beauport for years to come and feel it was one of the best wedding decisions we made choosing the Beauport as our venue. Cannot recommend enough!

We got married at the Beauport Hotel in October 2023. It was the most beautiful venue with a ceremony on the deck under the most stunning sunset. Saying our vows with the ocean waves softly in the background felt magical. We toured all over Boston's North Shore, as well as NYC, and California looking for a wedding venue that could serve as a meaningful place for us to return to for our anniversary in years to come. The waterfront hotel had the classic New-England elegance we were looking for. The girls got ready in the bridal suite with an ocean view balcony, and we took our First-Look photos on the beach. We had our Chinese tea ceremony with our parents downstairs, and we had a Lion Dance performance in the ballroom. Our guests all raved about how good the food was, and everyone loved the late night snacks from Vinwood! Our venue coordinator Shannon was very friendly and helpful throughout the night, and everything went seamlessly thanks to her! Jian Haenel did our gorgeous green and white florals (see photo of ceremony arch). We got our photo booth and DJ through C-Zone Entertainment - Greg had everyone dancing the whole night! We highly recommend the Beauport Hotel.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Beauport in May of 2023, and could not be happier with our choice!
The venue is right on the ocean, and was a beautiful backdrop for our special day! We were fortunate to have one of the few sunny weekends this past summer, and our guests loved being able to go between both the indoor and outdoor areas. The hotel itself is beautiful, and having guests able to stay at the hotel if they chose was also extremely convenient!
Melissa, our event coordinator, was great to work with! She was extremely professional, detail oriented, and brought our vision to life. Even more importantly, she looked out for us, our families, and our bridal party on the day of the wedding. She made sure my mom had time to eat dinner in between talking to guests, and rescued me when one of the many bustle ties of my dress came loose, quickly pulling me away to fix it and get me back to the party!
The food at the Beauport is phenomenal – from the drinks, passed appetizers, salads, and entrees, to the extra stationary tables we chose (shoutout to the beautiful raw bar during cocktail hour and late-night Chinese food buffet), nothing missed! It’s been over 6 months since our wedding, and our guests still bring up how delicious our food was! Note for couples: Melissa had trays of our signature drinks and appetizers in a separate waiting room for us, our family, and our bridal party – take advantage of this room to take a breath and get a chance to try all the food you painstakingly chose!
We also had our farewell brunch at The Beauport Hotel, and our rehearsal dinner at the Beauport’s sister venue, the Cruiseport – both of which we also wholeheartedly recommend!

My wife and I got married at the Beauport at the end of July 2023. It was truly an amazing day, and we have so many memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. The setting at the Beauport is really beautiful and we loved having both indoor and outdoor space for use throughout the day. We liked that the hotel and ballroom had a modern, clean aesthetic. The food was also incredible - best food out of all the weddings we’ve attended and all of our guests were super complimentary! There is an extensive catering menu and we had such a hard time narrowing down the hors d’oeuvres and entrees since there were so many amazing options. Make sure you get the seafood risotto, which was delicious!! While there were many things we loved about the Beauport, there were also some things we found disappointing. The main thing was that during our ceremony, there was considerable background noise from the 1606 Restaurant, from both guests and restaurant staff, which became very distracting (one of our groomsmen literally leaned around the partition to ask them to quiet down). We had been so excited to have it on the deck because of the ocean view, but in hindsight, I wish we had opted for an indoor ceremony due to the significant level of noise we experienced. We’re surprised that the Beauport doesn’t close the restaurant side of the deck during ceremonies or, at the very least, do something to control noise levels. If you are hoping for a quiet and private ceremony, we’d suggest looking at another venue or opting to have your ceremony indoors, since there are multiple sources of potential background noise (i.e., the restaurant, hotel room balconies, the roof bar/pool, and/or the public beach). Regardless of this, we still had a wonderful day, and overall, the day ran very smoothly. However, we felt it important to share this feedback so future couples are aware of this when deciding on a venue.

I recently got married at Beauport and cannot imagine having picked a more perfect venue for our special day. When we first toured Beauport, I fell in love with its charm - it is the perfect seaside getaway that feels quite luxurious. There is a lot that I could say that made our wedding weekend so special but here are just a few highlights:
1) Food - We had our food tasting about 8 months prior to the wedding. This was good timing as I was planning to make printed menus and gave me ample time for that. The tasting was fun & really was a great indicator for what the food was like for our big day. Everyone at our wedding raved about the apps so would HIGHLY recommend these: mini lobster mac & cheese bites, tiny fish tacos, short rib grilled cheese, beef sliders & vegetable spring rolls. They also allowed us to customize our main courses and again, our guests loved the food. Finally, they let us bring Crumbl cookies in for dessert (10/10 - would recommend doing that) and helped us coordinate bringing pizza in for our after party.
2) Logistics/Hotel Staff - From the day we booked Beauport through the day we checked out after our wedding, this place knocked everything out of the park. We worked closely with the reservations team on getting a room block set up and to coordinate distributing welcome bags to our guests. They also helped ensure that housekeeping was able to make up our rooms quickly between the time that we were getting ready and taking photos. These folks were in lockstep with the front desk and our coordinator who both were aware of everything going on relating to our wedding which was super helpful. I especially noticed the coordination when a few days before the wedding, I mentioned to the bartender we were going to have our welcome party at the bar that weekend and realized I hadn't shared that with the coordinator prior. The bartender told us that wouldn't be an issue, worked with our coordinator and the rest of the bar/restaurant team to make sure there were enough staff on site to accomodate our group size. The hotel even ended up setting up a space outside the ballroom for us to use in case the bar got too crowded. That is exceptional service!
3) Coordinator - I feel it is important to give a special shout out to our day-of coordinator, Melissa. If you get the opportunity to work with her, be prepared to be blown away. She answered my millions of questions and gave me good direction on things to think about (such as ceremony seating signs) and really helped execute on my vision for our big day. Her organization put my mind at ease in terms of knowing she would deliver on the perfect day for us. She was so attentive to the finest of details which made everything even more special - including having a glass of prosecco (for me) & a shirley temple (for my husband - he doesn't drink) ready for us when we did our final decor drop off the weekend of the wedding. She was there every step of the way, including on the big day, helping me fix my bustle a few times because people would step on my dress. The service was second to none and we are so appreciative for all her hard work.
Overall, Beauport was a magical place to get married. We would not have changed a thing and would STRONGLY recommend couples look there when seeking their perfect wedding destination.

The Beauport hotel was absolutely stunning and they truly provided us with best experience a bride and groom could have on their wedding day. The hotel staff were so friendly.
Shout out to Melissa Nolet who was our planner. We got married over a month ago and guests are still talking about her to this day. The level of detail, professionalism and patience she has is incredible. She would respond to my emails extremely fast and made our day so special. She is truly the best and a huge asset to the Beauport!

My husband and I married at the Beauport last month on November 4th. It truly was a fairy tale and we couldn't say enough great things.
Our journey with the Beauport started almost by accident, as we were in the hotel not realizing it could be a potential wedding venue. We stumbled into the ballroom and immediately were taken by it's brightness, with 2 full walls of ocean-facing windows, by the huge bar in the center of the room, and by the wood floor (meaning the entire room could be a dance floor!). Going out on the deck gave us both chills, envisioning saying "I do" next to the ocean, in the New England coastal setting of our dreams. We didn't have a formal tour set up that day, so we asked some folks working there if anyone was available. That was the first moment we experienced the impeccable Beauport service. Members of the staff were not only accommodating but they truly shared in our newly engaged excitement. They were so enthusiastic about us considering them and so helpful. We immediately felt like we we'd be in good hands if we chose to marry there.
From the moment we signed the contract, the events staff was extremely prompt in answering any of our questions and always so helpful. Caleb from Group Travel was amazing with managing our room block. I think he probably did 5+ crosschecks of our entire guest list against the reservations that weekend which couldn't have been a quick task. He always did so like it was no big deal at all and always so fast!
Before we knew it it was time to be assigned a wedding coordinator and we were so lucky to have gotten Amanda Pollock. She was an absolute dream. From the first time we met with her we felt like we were in the absolute best hands possible. She answered all of our questions without any hesitation, knowing the Beauport as well as all flower/photo/dj vendors in seemingly the entire North Shore/Boston area like the back of her hand. Beyond this was her calming and warm presence. Amanda had a way of making us feel SO at ease and like there was no need to stress, cause she had our backs. We left each meeting with her feeling on top of the world with a new sense of excitement about our upcoming nuptials.
The weekend of the wedding, Amanda and the entire Beauport team made us feel so special and truly made everything go off without a hitch. All of the little details around timing and coordinating all of the vendors were all taken care of for us so that all we had to do was enjoy ourselves and soak in the moment.
We were so lucky to have a gorgeous fall day, and to see our visions come true – saying "I do" on the deck, the sun coming out from the overcast sky just as I walked down the aisle. I'm getting emotional writing about it because it was truly, truly just perfect. The rest of the evening was too – the space was airy and bright and big enough for all of our 150 guests to feel like they could move around, get a drink without waiting in a long line, and DANCE! The arrangement of tables all around the dance floor made it feel so inclusive and like there was not a bad seat in the house.
The afterparty being at the Beauport bar was SO convenient and fun! All of the firepits were open to us outside and to see all of our family and friends sit around them enjoying the end of the evening was a sight we'll never forget.
Truly could never recommend the Beauport enough and say enough great things about Amanda and the entire staff.

My Husband & I had the pleasure of getting married on December 1, 2023 at the Beauport. Melissa was the wedding planner assigned to us and from start to finish she was amazing. Melissa was organized, would answer all my emails & questions, and she was super nice. It felt like she wasn't just my wedding planner but a friend.
The night was absolutely perfect and everyone said it was the best wedding ever! 10/10 recommend the Beauport. Also, the food is SO GOOD. Best wedding food myself or other guests have had.

We had our wedding at the Beauport and were assigned Shannon as our coordinator. From our initial meeting, Shannon made us feel so comfortable and confident that we were in the right hands.
Shannon was highly organized and detailed. Starting with our first meeting, she asked all the questions about how to make our wedding day perfect. She worked with us and helped us craft our vision. She helped show us options and opportunities that we hadn’t even considered or thought possible. And through the months leading up to our big day, she was highly responsive to all of our email questions and worked to address any concerns that we may have had (which were few and far between by the way because all her hard work and preparation).
On the day of the wedding, Shannon again was there every step of the way. She helped the day move smoothly and according to plan. She regularly checked in with us, making sure that we knew where we were in the timeline as well as just a friendly check in to see how we were doing. The highlight was maybe when Shannon helped get the bride a bowl of her favorite ice cream and hand delivered it, just so that we could continue dancing on the dance floor without taking a break.
The Beauport as a venue was everything we could have dreamed of. The scenery during the ceremony was immaculate. The transition between the deck, to the cocktail area, to the ballroom all went smoothly and were professionally set up ahead of time. All of the food was delicious, specifically we had the cod and filet mignon. Again, the flow of the night went perfectly and all to schedule. We loved the Beauport and received so many compliments from our guests about the quality of the venue and the food.
We want to thank Shannon again and emphasize how much of a true professional and a genuinely kind person she is. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Beauport or working with Shannon to any prospective couple. We had the perfect wedding and the best day of our lives.

Our Beauport wedding was more than we could have ever imagined and Melissa was there for us every step of the way. Working with Melissa was so easy and we were able to relax throughout the whole process. When it came to our wedding day, she was so helpful in making sure that we had everything we needed to get set up and worked with all of our vendors to make for a beautiful reception space. When we were panicking the day before because all of our guests RSVPd for brunch and we weren’t going to have enough seats, she worked some magic to help us book the ballroom last minute and even put out our floral arrangements from the wedding and it ended up being one of my favorite parts during the weekend. The night of the wedding went absolutely flawlessly thanks to Melissa. Before we did our reception entrance, my dress was loose and the bustle was weighing it down and before I knew it she was sewing my dress to fit better!! Highly recommend working with Melissa for your wedding at Beauport, you will not be disappointed!

My husband and I got married at the Beauport this past Sunday, 10/29 and it was the most perfect fairytale wedding! It was everything I ever imagined and more. Melissa was our wedding coordinator and from the second we met her for our first meeting she was nothing but helpful and made everything so stress free. She is amazing at what she does. From helping us choose our menu, deciding with us on our signature drinks, answering my endless questions on logistics and timeline, helping us with our room block - all the way to helping me set up my escort cards and stringing oyster shells during our decor drop off while letting me set up my own arbor. She relieved all my pre-wedding nerves, made the day run so smoothly, and helped create the most perfect day. So many guests at the wedding complimented the food saying it was the best they ever had at a wedding as well. Melissa was also the talk of the night by our families as they couldn’t believe how easy she made everything for us! I will always have amazing things to say about Melissa and the Beauport and am so sad that the day is over.
We can’t wait to visit every year to celebrate our anniversary! I highly recommend having your wedding here! Everything was so beautiful!

We got married at Beauport in September and the entire staff from Valet, Front Desk, Reservations, Events, especially our Event Manager Melissa made our fairytale wedding weekend come true. The hotel and event space speaks for itself but the service was top notch. Melissa set up our decor perfectly, coordinated with our vendors, and helped keep us and our wedding party organized/on time. We can't thank her enough for taking care of us during the reception; making sure we were fed and guiding us through the finer details of our event. We don't know what we would've done without her through all the planning and the day of. We’d choose Beauport if we could do it all over again and highly recommend them!

We had the most beautiful wedding at the Beauport Hotel on 8/20/2023! Our guests were raving about the venue, food, and overall flow of the event. We worked with Melissa as our planner and she made sure every single detail went to plan! From meeting with us several times before the wedding to talk about everything from the order of events to signature drinks to wrangling everyone on the day of, she made sure the event went smoothly and we enjoyed every moment. I can’t recommend the Beauport and Melissa enough and we will always look back on our wedding with immense joy knowing that the day went so perfectly!

The most magical day at the most perfect venue. My husband and I got married at the Beauport on Labor Day weekend of 2023. I truly am speechless and am at a loss for words when it comes to the day. To say it exceeded all of my expectations and wildest dreams, would be an understatement. I had the pleasure of working closely with Amanda, who was absolutely fantastic. I know everybody says this, but we really had the best day ever. We were lucky enough to have the most insane weather of the summer (and if you live anywhere in the Boston area, you know summer 2023 has broken records of rainfall). It was also Schnooers weekend, which is a sailboat festival in Gloucester every LDW, so picture the unbelievable ocean backdrop, with a bunch of sailboats – magic. My husband and I (and a few friends) started the weekend on Thursday, had dinner at the 1606 restaurant (which was phenomenal) and spent Friday all day at the pool with our closest family and friends (this was seriously one of the best days). Saturday was the day of the wedding and it was a fairy-tale. The entire day, everything went as planned. I was fully prepared for something to go wrong, but there was not one thing I could pinpoint. We did get married offsite (at a church in Manchester-by-the-Sea and took pics at Bass Rocks (which was a beautiful spot @ future brides!)) but were lucky enough to have the cocktail hour outside on the deck starting at 5pm. We purchased the raw bar, which was a HIT! My guests cannot stop talking about it! All of the other passed appetizers were amazing (the short rib grilled cheese and the rice balls were my favorite). I was very adamant on getting on the dance floor ASAP and that’s exactly what Amanda did. She was able to execute all of my (crazy) ideas (@ brides, you understand) without fail and the execution was absolutely seamless. All of my décor, my direction, every single thing we talked about in my meetings leading up to the day was fully fulfilled. Dinner was amazing – like seriously, the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding (and my guests can account for this)! I’ve never received so many messages about the food alone – people LOVED it. We were also lucky (and brides if you are getting married LWD on the Saturday keep this in mind), to have a firework show (put on by the city of Gloucester) at 9:30pm, which was absolutely surreal and just a perfect ending to an amazing day. The Beauport really blew our wedding out of the water and I would not have changed a single thing about the day. It is not only the most beautiful venue but the staff and people are really wonderful and make you feel so so special. Also shout out to Alisha Norden for these amazing pics (she's so special).

We were recently married at the Beauport Hotel and knew this was going to be our venue the first time we saw it two years ago. Everything from the scenery, food, service, staff, and everything in between were seriously impressive. We still have wedding guests telling us how awesome the food was and how nice the venue was. We can’t write this review without mentioning our coordinator Amanda P. who was extremely professional, prompt, responsive and just a great person to work with. Amanda helped to make our day perfect and was always available from day one to answer any questions and alleviate any concerns we had so a special shout-out to Amanda! We’d give 10/5 stars if we could but this is THE place to get married!

My husband and I got married at the Beauport Hotel in Gloucester MA on June 2, 2023 and are over the moon for how our experience and day panned out. Our coordinator, Amanda P., was extremely thorough, thoughtful, and always a step ahead of us. Amanda made us feel so welcomed, heard, and worked effortlessly help customize the wedding package to include everything we wanted to make our day so "us" including sourcing in specific wine that was not on the original bar list, and ordering me a special meal for dinner that we did not offer to the guests. She handled all our decor gracefully (and we brought in A LOT!) and she was able to set the space up exactly how I envisioned it in my head, without having to ask us questions day off. The ballroom and venue space at the Beauport Hotel offer a unique and beautiful view of Gloucester and Cape Ann. For most of our guests, this was their first time at the venue and all have shared such positive reviews some have even booked future weekend stays to go back! The food was incredible, fresh, and so delicious - our guests all have said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. My husband and I are trying to convince our friends to get married at the Beauport Hotel so that we can attend as a guest at a place that is so special to us!
The entire experience with the hotel was perfect from arrival, the valet and concierge, housekeeping staff, bartenders, a special gift on our wedding night, chocolates on our pillows at turndown service, and more. All the staff are cheerful and so happy to assist. If you are considering having your wedding here, stop thinking about it and just go book it! We could not be happier!

The Beauport is the perfect beach wedding venue. We got married here in June 2023 and wow it was beautiful. When we first toured this venue, we knew it was exactly what we were looking for. It is a beautiful hotel right on the beach and what is better than having your ceremony on the deck overlooking the ocean. You get 4 adjoining spaces for your wedding which is nice. We had Shannon as our wedding coordinator, and we could not be happier. She was amazing to work with. She is so sweet and easy to communicate with. Also, very professional. Any time I emailed her with a question, she would get back to me within the hour. She made our wedding planning process much easier. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect. Shannon made our day run so smoothly and there was not one mess up. She kept checking in with us to make sure we were stress free and enjoying ourselves. The hors d'oeuvres and entrees were amazing. Especially the filet. Not one of my guests had any complaints. I would 100% recommend the Beauport for your wedding!

The Beauport Hotel was the perfect seaside venue to host our wedding reception. It is classy and elegant with an upscale theme. The hotel leans beautifully in tastefully into the nautical theme. The staff were helpful and accommodating, especially when the rain forced us to take photos inside at the last minute. The beautiful deck was a huge hit with our guests, as was the ocean view. The food that was served was hot and delicious and matched the upscale atmosphere. Our day of coordinator, Melissa, was incredible. She was unruffled and unfazed, which is exactly what we needed. No problem was too big to be fixed--not that we knew of any problems because she had any issues resolved before they could even be brought to our attention. She checked in with us regularly through out the night and worked with our photographer and DJ to make sure we stuck to the timeline we set while also getting all the photographs we wanted and making sure our guests had a great time. We could not have selected a better venue for our reception.

We had perfect weather for our wedding day, which made it even more special and even our guests were blown away by the service and hospitality. The Beauport has definitely gained new customers from this wonderful experience and me and my wife definitely plan on coming back for many more future visits. This is the place for your wedding, no hesitation whatsoever. You won't regret it and shout out to Amanda and her staff for A++ service.

The most beautiful wedding venue! My husband & I got married at Beauport on 5/19/23 and it was the day we’ve been dreaming of, plus more! From the moment we walked into the hotel for our venue tour, we knew that we would be getting married there. We had to wait over 1.5 years to get the date that we wanted, and it was 100% worth it! From breathtaking views to amazing food and attentive staff, the Beauport is five stars. We also want to thank Melissa, our coordinator, who made sure our wedding day was perfect. I wish we could re-do our wedding, just so we could experience the day again! My husband & I will be visiting the Beauport many more times in the future. Definitely recommend!

She answered all of my questions and made us feel so comfortable and supported. She also made the planning process so easy and organized! Unfortunately, it rained on our wedding day and we had to make the decision to have the ceremony inside - the Beauport staff were so prepared and did the switch so well. We were so fortunate to have such an amazing back up plan. It was truly perfect and the rain added a special touch to our day. We are forever grateful!!!

What can we say about the Beauport . Amazing wonderful fabulous is an understatement . The moment we walked in September of 2021 we knew that we were going have our March wedding of 2023 there. From the beginning everyone there treated us with respect and were very excited that we picked them as our venue .
Then the waiting process started but we had the foodtasting which was amazing to help us get through the waiting ! Then all of a sudden it was time for them to assign us the wedding coordinator and we were lucky enough to have Shannon. She was amazing and were so happy to get her ! She answered any questions we had especially those questions that you have when its a few weeks leading up to the big day! The day of the wedding was executed flawlessly. We were so fortunate for a March wedding to have our ceremony outside which made the transition from ceremony to cocktail hour go smoothly! We had the best time at our wedding the guest are still talking about it a few weeks later ! The food was delicious, the drinks amazing and the atomisphere just a celebration ! Shannon got our vision of the day and really made it her mission to achieve it .
We were so fortunate to be able to celebrate with our family and friends at such a wonderful and beautiful venue !! Cant say enough about the Beauport and everyone that works there
Thankyou
With love

The Beauport is perfection. Book this venue! We had our wedding ceremony & reception at the Beauport & it was an absolute dream! We are incredibly thankful to have worked with Nichole as our coordinator. She & all other event staff we encountered were prompt, professional, organized & so kind throughout the planning process. As a couple unfamiliar with event planning, they put us completely at ease, keeping us on track & communicating with all our vendors. When we had a family emergency two weeks before the wedding, they could not have been more supportive & accommodating. When our wedding weekend finally arrived, they continued to impress. Almost all our guests stayed at the hotel. From the delectable restaurant to the staff hospitality, our guests raved about their experience throughout the weekend.
On our wedding day, I was in complete awe of the ceremony & reception area. The staff arranged our décor so elegantly & completely elevated our vision, creating a setting that felt beautiful & also personal. It was exactly what we wanted & so much better! The event went seamlessly & our guests even commented on how efficiently everything flowed throughout the evening (all credit to the incredible Nichole!). The food was SO good, guests told us it was the best ‘wedding food’ they ever had. We went with passed hors d’oeuvres & they were plentiful & hot. The staff were so good—quick, discreet, accommodating. Nichole ensured we had plenty of time to sit & enjoy our wedding meal (something I was fearful we would miss out on!) And we still had loads of time on the dancefloor!
After our reception, we overflowed into the lobby area & got to continue spending time with our guests late into the night. The next day, we provided breakfast vouchers for our guests to have the hotel restaurant buffet & it was the perfect sendoff to our celebratory weekend. When we checked out of the hotel, all our things were neatly packed up & ready to go.
From start to finish, The Beauport deserves all the credit in supporting us to make our wedding a beautiful event for our unforgettable wedding weekend!

We had our wedding here with Melissa Nolet as our coordinator. The venue is absolutely beautiful, right on the water with lovely views, modern and yet elegant style with a hint of nautical flare. We are a same-sex couple and generally vetted our vendors to make sure that we wouldn't face any discrimination. Turns out the first wedding the Beauport hosted after opening was in fact a same-sex wedding! We were treated just as lovely as any couple would be with throngs of congratulations and care.
They have in house catering and were able to provide for our every request with absolutely delicious foods in a quality package! Melissa and staff made our day all about us and made sure we were all set and comfortable in every way. From frequently stopping by to make sure we were all set to bringing us platters of our hors d'oeuvres in the wedding party's ready room, to bringing us each a glass of our signature drinks to privately toast. Melissa also worked easily with all of our external vendors (flowers, photographer, band, and officiant) to make sure everything would go off without a hitch.
The rooms were absolutely lovely perfect and cozy, and all of our guests loved having little chocolates on their pillows waiting for them. The breakfast buffet the next day was delicious and bountiful with a large variety of options and was a great value! A lot of our guests partook in that and were grateful! No doubt in our minds that if we needed to do some sort of large scale event we would have it hosted here again! Weddings are expensive but this felt like we were getting our money's worth and you could tell that they did their best to make it so. We are so grateful to Melissa and the Beauport for helping make our wedding absolutely beautiful and amazing and heart-felt. Thank you!

My husband and I recently got married at the Beauport the weekend after Thanksgiving. From the very beginning, before we had even decided on the Beauport as our venue, the communication and accommodating nature of the Beauport stood out to us. The entire team of coordinators worked together to accommodate out needs, and we were set from the moment we walked in. Our wedding coordinator, Melissa, was AMAZING. She always promptly responded to my (many) emails, and was flexible with accommodating our schedules so we could do all of our meetings in person. Living out of state was challenging and often meant we needed to meet on a weekend morning, which she always made work. Day of decor drop of, was seamless, even with a holiday weekend. Coordination between Melissa, and all of our vendors was stress free. On the big day, Melissa made sure everything went to plan. I was a little nervous about not having an option for a rehearsal due to the nature of their schedule, however, we trusted in Melissa and her teams experience, and we are so glad that we did, everything went PERFECT! Melissa made sure I made it down to the appropriate space without my husband or guests seeing me. She accommodated a first look with our pup and communicated clearly so all of our bridal party knew where to be and when during the ceremony. When our bridal party had accidentally eaten my tray of GF apps, she very kindly refilled it so that I could be sure to eat during cocktail hour. She attended to my husband and I throughout the reception to make sure we stayed on schedule and always had what we needed, without feeling like we were overwhelmed. Overall, thanks to Melissa, and the entire Beauport wedding team, we had the most beautiful dream wedding. We cannot recommend them enough. We are so glad we took the recommendation from a family friend, and have been able to pass that along to others!

The Beauport far exceeded our expectations and our wedding day was absolutely magical! Nichole was our coordinator and we truly can not say enough about her! She was supportive, incredibly organized, thorough and communicative. Nichole is so genuine and was so invested in making sure everything went according to plan. The day was absolutely seamless because of her and it did not go unnoticed by our guests! She made us feel so at ease and we never felt like we had to stress with her on our team.
The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the views are breathtaking and the food is incredible! We had several guests tell us that it was the best food they had ever eaten at a wedding. The only complaint that we heard from guests was that they didn’t save enough room for the late night lobster rolls because they enjoyed their dinners so much. We cannot say enough good things about the Beauport. Highly, highly recommend booking your coastal wedding here!

We had our wedding here on September 30th and everything was absolutely perfect! Shannon, our event coordinator is a superstar and made sure everything was well organized, guests had everything they needed, and even gifted us a special gift at the end of the night! The cutest details made this type A bride very happy!! Pick the Beauport for ANY event! Can’t wait to go back!!

The Beauport was absolutely perfect for our October wedding ceremony and reception. Their on-site coordinators are top-notch and ensure your day flows seamlessly. Not to mention the food is FANTASTIC - our friends and family continue to rave about it. We are so happy we went with the Beauport!

My husband and I had the best experience with the Beauport Hotel and specifically Nichole who was our wedding coordinator. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect for our wedding day ! She is so good at what she does and had a way of making sure every detail leading up to the day was as perfect as can be. She is kind, patient, approachable, and most importantly detailed and knowledgeable with wedding planning. She was such a pleasure to work with. The venue is so classy, clean, and staff is always willing to help! The hall was set up so beautifully and the food was amazing, my guests were raving about it! 10/10 recommend this venue to any couple getting married its totally worth the money !!!

My daughter was recently married at the Beauport. Both the ceremony and reception were held there. I can't give the Beauport a higher recommendation. Shannon was our wedding coordinator. She was amazing! She was attentive to every single detail, no matter how small. She was very patient with us and all of our questions and requests. She was amazingly organized. On the wedding day, you want everything to go perfectly. I can say, that because of Shannon, it couldn't have gone any better. We didn't have to worry about anything because we knew Shannon already took care of it. We greatly appreciate all of her hard work. If your looking for a venue that is amazingly beautiful, with a wedding coordinator who truly cares, then the Beauport is where it should take place!!
