You can't go wrong with Steeple Hall. Nik and His team did an excellent job of making sure our day was special! Nik is a detail-oriented and works in a way that there is as little stress or burden on you in the lead up, and on the big day! It is really nice having a team not only execute an perfect reception, but that are also focused on making sure the couple has a special day for themselves! That can't be understated; it made the day exponentially more special for us. The food is great, the service is great, and the planning process is very easy yet comprehensive.

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!

Finding the perfect spot for our rehearsal dinner felt like searching for a hidden gem.

From the moment we stepped into this beautiful downtown building (conveniently close to a parking garage!), we knew it was special. But what truly made the night unforgettable was Michelle, the Function Manager. Michelle was an absolute rockstar! She helped us navigate everything with ease, from handling dietary restrictions to selecting the perfect menu options and ensuring all our needs were met. The entire function team was professional and attentive, making the whole evening flow seamlessly. And let's not forget the food! It was incredible. Our guests raved about everything they tried.

We had our dream wedding at Grill 28 in September, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From start to finish, the staff was incredibly attentive, making the entire planning process smooth and enjoyable. One of the best things about this venue is that it provides all the necessities, including tables and chairs. We brought in some of our own chairs for the reception while using theirs for the ceremony. They also offer a wide selection of linens and even the option to add an extra tent to accommodate more guests. What makes this venue truly special is the flexibility to curate your wedding exactly as you envision it. Nestled on the beautiful Pease Golf Course, it’s a hidden gem—a true diamond in the rough! Unlike many wedding venues, we never felt like there was any price gouging. Everything was very reasonable and transparent. The accessibility of this venue is also a huge plus. It’s wheelchair-friendly, and the main tent is set on a concrete pad, so you don’t have to worry about wet or muddy grass—a huge relief if the weather is unpredictable! We had designated rooms to get ready in, and the food was absolutely out of this world! There are multiple spaces to utilize, including the garden patio—perfect for our cocktail hour—and the main tent for our reception. Another bonus is that the venue is owned by the same company as Popovers, so we were able to order our cake directly and even do a tasting! The menus are fully customizable, which made everything feel even more personal. Another big plus is the ample parking, making it easy for all of our guests. We truly have nothing but amazing things to say about Grill 28. If you're looking for a wedding venue that offers both beauty and exceptional service, this is the place!

We hosted our wedding dinner at Woods Hill Pier 4 in the Cupola and everything was absolutely incredible!! From the entire planning process with Emily, through dessert- we couldn’t have been more impressed. When our guests arrived, they enjoyed the beautiful views of the water and Boston skyline, cocktails on the patio, & hors d’oeuvres brought out and passed around by servers. For the main meal, we chose “Family Style” rather than the plated option-which we loved. Our family still raves about the food and we were very happy that it was all locally/sustainably sourced. They were also very attentive to allergies/dietary restrictions. We also brought in some pictures/decorations for the room and chose to do our first dances out by the water. Definitely recommend Woods Hill without hesitation! *Photos are by Rachel Dampolo photography IG: @dampolophotography

We knew we didn't want a big traditional (expensive) wedding, and scoured the city for spots that could bring our vision to life. There weren't many options, but Bostonia ended up being the perfect fit. They helped us bring our cocktail style wedding reception to life and were there every step of the way, going above and beyond in the setup so that we didn't need any event planner to help. Rob was awesome and responsive, and helped us select the perfect menu, never upselling or trying to get us to do more. I can't reccomend Bostonia Public House enough!

Had the best experience having our wedding at Pagu! From start to finish, it was great working with the team, Chris & Amanda! We emailed countless questions leading up to the day and they were always great in getting things answered and problem solving as needed. They have worked on many weddings and it shows why people continue to choose them. We had a wedding of about 60 guests and the space had more than enough room. We were able to utilize the patio space as well to get air when needed and so it was great to be able to spread out so comfortably. They could easily handle a larger wedding though as we originally were looking at higher numbers when we started. While your wedding day is overwhelming and you don't often get time to eat, the team made sure to bring us food on their upstairs balcony where we could hide out after our ceremony to eat and get a little quiet time away from guests. They also made sure to package anything we didn't eat (and the many leftover desserts that I overordered on from an outside source) for us to pick up the next day. We were so grateful for this and the food was still great as leftovers--truly! Their service is truly unmatched and they also are great in handling food restrictions/allergies--guests specifically noted this! They brought out smaller portions for those guests when needed so they still had enough options. We are still getting compliments on the food and drinks as well as atmosphere. We can't wait to celebrate many anniversaries eating dinner here too as the food is what absolutely sold us. We especially enjoyed getting to make our own cocktails which guests also raved about.

We were a difficult group to feed; nearly every guest had a unique dietary restriction and Harvest ensured that each guest would remain safe and happy while dining. We will forever cherish this special celebration and look forward to dining at Harvest in the future!

We had our ceremony and reception at the Foundation Room and it was everything we dreamed it would be! The House of Blues staff was so so accommodating. Meaghan was an absolute dream to work with for the year leading up to it and she did not let us down at all. She was with us every step of the way, from the time that we toured the venue to very end of the night. She went above and beyond to take care of every detail all day long. I cannot stress enough how incredible of an experience we had working with her. She paid attention to every detail, listened to us and made every little change we asked for. She also coordinated with all of our vendors beforehand and even set up our macaron tower. She truly brought our vision to life and helped us throw the best New Year’s Eve party. The House of Blues staff was on top of table turnovers, quick clean ups, made sure we had everything we needed and were so helpful with set up and clean up. They made it a seamless, worry free night for us. The food was delicious and our specialty cocktails were even better! Meaghan worked with us to craft tasty specialty cocktails that were a hit with our guests. She also made sure everything came out right on schedule. The unique vibe of the venue made it feel like an exclusive and intimate party where our guests were free to lounge and dance or hide away in one of the many rooms. The theme set the tone for the party. It was an absolutely incredible night and we can’t thank this team enough!

My wife and I had our wedding at Mothership in the early Spring, and everything about the experience was top notch! Their Events Manager, Kelly, was one of the most organized, communicative and professional people I've ever worked with. From food options to set up and decorations, the Mothership team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their willingness to accommodate the many guests with varying dietary restrictions was astounding, and EVERYTHING was delicious. They even made our wedding cake plus an array of gluten free and vegan desserts. The space was perfect and was able to comfortably fit our guests for dinner to dancing. They converted their day-time cafe space into the most amazing dance floor for us and our DJ. All in all, this team truly made our special day PERFECT, and I will forever be recommending them to all of our friends and family!!

Our wedding at The Leavitt Theatre was beyond anything we could have dreamed… it was pure magic. This venue is astonishingly unique, dripping with history, romance, and charm. Every single guest told us they had never experienced a wedding like ours, and honestly, we believe it. From the moment we saw our names on the glowing marquee to the personalized movie posters in the frames, the night felt straight out of Hollywood. Being introduced by a film crafted by my brother-in-law and projected on the big screen was surreal!! Truly a moment we and our guests will never forget. Pair that with the champagne tower, endless popcorn, and the sparkle of bubbly all night long, and the whole evening had this old-Hollywood glamour that made it feel larger than life. And then there was the food- WOW. No other words other than absolutely extraordinary. The chef has an unmatched gift for flavor and presentation, and our guests could not stop raving. It was the perfect way to give everyone (most of whom had traveled far) a true taste of Maine. The espresso martinis? Hands down the best we’ve ever had. People are still talking about them! This venue is also walking distance to a few fun spots so there are options for after parties! But what truly set The Leavitt apart was the heart behind it all. Nell, the coordinator, was an absolute treasure. She video chatted with us countless times, answered every question, and worked tirelessly to make sure everything not only fit within our budget but exceeded our expectations. Her dedication made us feel supported every step of the way. We were also so impressed by the Leavitts owner, Max. His family has owned this wonderful place for generations and we hope we can return for a movie every year for our anniversary! This wasn’t just a wedding venue… it was an experience. It was cinematic, romantic, and unforgettable in every single way. Truly the best night of our lives, and we will be forever grateful to The Leavitt Theatre for making it happen. If you want your wedding to be unlike anything else, stop searching because this is the place.

All the guests commented on the great food, excellent service and warm ambiance. I highly recommend the Coach Grill for your special events too.

Wandby Landing, Mariah, Matt, and their staff are incredible. They made the entire process of planning our wedding stress-free. Every detail was perfectly organized and executed - hors d'oeuvres, the delicious drinks, an absolutely incredible family-style dinner. All night, and for weeks after, our guests were complementing the delicious food ("by far the best they'd ever had at an event"), and most notably, the friendliness, attentiveness, and professionalism of the staff. We were able to enjoy our wedding day with all the trust and confidence that their team would carry through a incredible event for us and our guests. Wandby Landing is a treasure, and the staff is amazing. If we could rate them 10 stars, we would.
