We got married at the Envio on May 6 after 1.5 years of planning. The coordinator, Katryn, is amazing at her job and made everything easy to understand along the way. In our opinion the Envio is a great value for the area. All of our guests enjoyed their stay at the hotel, as well as the wedding itself from the contemporary design of the event space to the food and beverage!

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.
