Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, Oceanview of Nahant exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding day. From our very first tour to the planning process and finally our wedding day, every member of the staff was kind, professional, supportive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. The oceanfront ceremony location, beautiful reception space, delicious food, and incredible staff made it everything we could have hoped for. The property also offers so many fun extras that truly make it unique. While we didn’t use every amenity, it’s amazing that they offer something for everyone, including a photo booth, arcade, lawn games, fire pits, a cigar and whiskey bar, led lighting and so much more. Our guests had an incredible time! A very special thank you to Sami, Liz, and Lydia. Their dedication, kindness, and attention to every detail meant the world to us. They answered countless planning questions, kept everything running smoothly throughout the day, and were there whenever we needed them. Lydia even helped get a stain out of my wedding dress! Knowing they were taking care of everything allowed us to relax and truly enjoy every moment of our wedding. They really went above and beyond! If you’re looking for a venue with stunning ocean views, exceptional food, outstanding service, and a team that truly cares about making your wedding unforgettable, I cannot recommend Oceanview of Nahant enough! Thank you for giving us the wedding day of our dreams.
