When selecting a wedding venue, my husband and I were looking for a place where all of our guests could stay together and enjoy the natural beauty of the lake. 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. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding weekend at Lake Shore Village Resort.

Cannot say enough amazing things about the Envio in Portsmouth, NH!!!! Katryn and her team made our dream wedding come true this past NYE. Clear communication, new and beautiful space, and no details missed. Guests raved about the food, friendliness of the staff, the hotel location right downtown Portsmouth. They think of everything and ensure the bride and groom are very well taken care. I cannot recommend this venue and wonderful team of staff more, from signing the contract to the food tasting to arrivals /departures we were supported every step. Thank you, Katryn and The Envio!!

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.

The View at Pepperrell Cove was an absolute dream for our wedding reception! This spot has always been our favorite restaurant on the Seacoast, so choosing it as our wedding venue was a no-brainer. With all of our guests traveling in from out of town, we wanted to give them a true taste of the Seacoast—and this venue captured it perfectly. From the stunning waterfront views to the cozy, coastal ambiance, it felt like Maine magic. Working with Dionna, the wedding coordinator, was a highlight of the planning process. Her communication was always prompt and clear, and she went above and beyond to make sure every detail came together seamlessly. We truly felt supported the whole way through. And the food... WOW. Meeting with their incredible chef, Eides, was such a special part of our planning experience. He worked with us to create a menu that reflected our favorite flavors and seasonal ingredients, and the result was beyond anything we could have imagined. Guests are still talking about the food—and when you’re investing in a wedding, having that be everyone’s favorite part just feels so good. We truly can’t recommend The View at Pepperrell Cove enough. From the staff to the service, the views to the cuisine, everything was flawless. We’re already dreaming about hosting future celebrations here. Our guests even joked we should make it an annual tradition—because it was that memorable. If you’re considering a wedding on the Seacoast, this is an easy YES!

Surrounded by stunning views and Maine salt air, we are just 15 minutes from downtown Portsmouth, NH and the fine restaurants, arts, and culture of the Seacoast. And only an hour from Boston or Portland.

I looked into countless wedding venues all across New England, but when my then-fiancé and I arrived at Scotland Fields for our venue tour, I immediately knew that it was the place we needed to host our wedding weekend. That gut feeling that this was somewhere really special never wore off, and I know that all of our guests felt that same feeling throughout the entire weekend. We also don't have enough positive things to say about the Scotland Fields team. My husband and I had a very specific vision about how we wanted our weekend to come together, and the team was nothing but accommodating to allow us to create the weekend that we envisioned. They were responsive when we had questions, helpful when we needed recommendations and guidance, and prompt to resolve anything that came up throughout the weekend (not that there was much of anything to resolve!!). We could not recommend this venue more highly, and will forever be grateful for the weekend that Scotland Fields allowed us to curate!

We had the most incredible winter wedding at Church Landing. The views of the frozen lake and snowy mountains were spectacular. We spent most of our time inside because it was so cold, but that was perfectly fine since the ballroom was so beautiful and elegant. Our assigned wedding coordinator Rachael Boisvert was amazing. She made everything I wanted to do happen without question. She went above and beyond by not only coordinating the staff and setting up the tables but also setting up the extra decor items I brought in a beautiful way too. She brought my vision to life. I was surprised by how easy she made the day before and the day of the wedding! The waitstaff was equally amazing, so attentive to our needs and wthe needs of our guests. We paid one reasonable price for the venue, food, open bar and we even added the rehearsal dinner in a different room at Church Landing! All in all it was a great value. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day and we are so grateful to the entire team at Mills Falls for making it unforgettable!

Danversport was the perfect venue—and the team truly went above and beyond for us. From the very beginning, the staff was responsive, flexible, and easy to work with. Every question we had was answered quickly, and the planning process felt smooth and supportive. But what really stood out was how they handled the unexpected. On our wedding day, my husband had a sudden allergic reaction that caused him to vomit and swell—we had to step away for nearly an hour. Tiffany, our onsite coordinator, was incredible. She kept checking in on us with so much compassion and care. Once things calmed down, the Danversport team gave us an extra hour to make up for the time we lost. That kind of empathy and flexibility meant the world to us. We also had a last-minute weather shift that forced us to move the outdoor ceremony inside. The team pivoted quickly, flipping the space quickly and beautifully. Our guests barely noticed the change, and everyone raved about how gorgeous and smooth the day felt. The setting, the service, the backup plans—they thought of everything. We’re so grateful to Tiffany and the entire Danversport team for making our day feel truly special, even in the face of curveballs.

There aren't enough words to express how grateful we are to the entire team at the Union Bluff Meeting House for giving us the wedding of our dreams. If we could relive our wedding day over and over again, we would choose Union Bluff every single time. When we first started wedding planning, Neico and I struggled to find a venue that truly fit what we envisioned. We knew we wanted an intimate celebration with our closest family and friends, but so many venues seemed geared toward large weddings or made smaller weddings feel like an afterthought. The moment we found Union Bluff and learned about their micro wedding options, we instantly knew we had found the one. It offered everything we were looking with the beauty, elegance, and luxury of a larger venue while still allowing us to have the intimate celebration we had always dreamed of. From our very first conversation, Annie made us feel completely at ease. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but she was always calm, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day special. What meant the most to us was that she never pressured us to make decisions based on trends or tried to upsell us. Instead, she listened to what was important to us, respected our vision, and reassured us every step of the way that everything would come together beautifully. We hosted our entire wedding weekend at Union Bluff, from our guests' accommodations to the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and dining. Every single part of the experience exceeded our expectations. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful it was. The food was incredible and plentiful, the accommodations were clean and comfortable, and every detail was thoughtfully executed. When our wedding day finally arrived, Annie and Gabrielle were nothing short of amazing. Together, they kept everything running so smoothly that we never had to think about logistics. They were always nearby, ready to answer questions from us or our guests, solve problems before we even knew they existed, and make sure everyone felt taken care of. Because of them, we were able to be fully present, soak in every moment, and simply enjoy getting married. I spent months dreaming about every little detail, and seeing everything come together was surreal. Annie and the Union Bluff team brought our vision to life even more beautifully than we imagined. Every decoration was exactly where it belonged, every transition was seamless, and every part of the day felt effortless. Looking back, one of the greatest gifts they gave us was peace of mind. The Union Bluff Meeting House didn't just provide us with a beautiful venue, they created an experience that our families, friends, and we will cherish forever. To Annie, Gabrielle, and the entire staff: thank you for caring so deeply about what you do. Your kindness, professionalism, and genuine dedication made our wedding unforgettable, and we will always be grateful. If you're looking for a venue that combines breathtaking scenery, exceptional food, comfortable accommodations, and a team that truly cares about bringing your vision to life, we cannot recommend the Union Bluff Meeting House enough. Choosing Union Bluff was one of the best decisions we made, and we would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

CAMBRIDGE, MA
  • Up to 120 guests

  • 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.

  • Does not allow pets
  • No on-site guest accommodations
  • Couple must handle cleanup and setup
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!
