Newagen Seaside Inn Reviews
Lauren Salmiery(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-08-2022 My husband and I were looking at venues throughout midcoast Maine and ended up at the Newagen. We loved the idea of having so many family and friends stay with us on site at the inn, of having Boothbay Harbor so close for our guests to explore, and the atmosphere and views from the property were too stunning to pass up.I don't even know where to start with how amazing our wedding day was -- Maura, Sandy, Tiffany, Abby and the entire Newagen team were supportive, helpful, and always there when we needed them. The food blew us away, the cocktails were incredible, they made our ceremony absolute perfection, the after party was a blast, the photos we have throughout the property are stunning...I could go on and on, but honestly, you should just book with the Newagen (or at least give it a visit!). They made every step of the way an absolute delight, and if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing! Reviewed on 22-08-2022

Getting married @ the Newagen (I'm still not sure I'm pronouncing it right) was one of the best decisions we made. Throughout the planning process, Maura was there to answer ALL our questions and was flexible with our requests...not to mention just a lovely human to interact with. Throughout the wedding weekend Tiffany was on-point for everything and organized our rowdy crew like I've never seen before. We were treated like royalty. It was the perfect coastal casual feel we were going for - not to mention the entire staff couldn't have been better. Tian was a fan favorite (which I'm sure had something to do with the PERFECT cosmos he made us all weekend long). I can't say enough good things, the Newagen team made our wedding better than we ever imagined. Which sounds cheesy, but is true. Thank you all! Reviewed on 28-09-2023

We loved coastal Maine and knew that was where we wanted to get married and when we found Newagen on a rainy, overcast day, we fell in love immediately. It was quaint, breath-taking, and spacious. We booked very early and for over two years, Maura, was always very quick and kind to respond my never-ending questions. Once the wedding weekend arrived, we were even more blown away. The entire staff was so friendly that guests commented on how amazing they all were. Tiffany executed the day like clock-work and the staff worked so well with all of our vendors. The food was delicious, the grounds were stunning (even on a foggy day), and things ran so smoothly. We can not wait to go back to Newagen to visit and re-live our magical wedding day. Thank you so much to the Newagen team! Reviewed on 02-08-2023

We are so so glad we chose Newagen for our wedding. Maura was so helpful in the planning process and Tiffany, Johnny and the rest of the team were rockstars leading up to and throughout the whole weekend. We arrived on the Thursday before the wedding and all the staff immediately made us feel so special and our guests so welcome. Our guests had a blast at the welcome party on Friday and hanging by the pool and using the rowboats on Saturday. Of course everyone had a blast Saturday night! All of the vendors that we went with from Newagen's recommendations were amazing and we got compliments on all parts of the wedding. We are so excited to go back and visit. Highly recommend booking with Newagen! Reviewed on 24-07-2023

We left our wedding weekend overwhelmed with emotion, all of them centered around the gratitude we had for hosting our wedding weekend at Newagen. When we picked Newagen on the rainy and cold November day with everything boarded up for the winter, we had no idea it would become a place that would be filled with all our friends, family, and wonderful staff who made us feel like we were hosting an event at our homes. What I loved most about you all is that you never made us feel like this was just another wedding at Newagen. I felt so special and heard throughout the whole process, and was so amazed how thoughtful you both were. You guys thought of everything, anticipated things we didn't even know we needed. Our family hasn't stopped commenting on the staff; how seamless, attentive, kind, and personable they all were throughout the weekend. It's a place I want to work! We are so thankful for our wedding weekend at Newagen, and it will forever be a place that was the time we were able to throw the party of our lives with our friends and family, and meet and work with a group of people who allowed us to do all of that, plus so much more.

Sara Rosales Laverty(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-09-2022 Newagen was the best decision my husband and I made. I am in awe over how great it was as a venue. The staff is meticulous and extremely helpful. The grounds and rooms are gorgeous. The food is fantastic. Every single thing is incredible. We have been told many many times by guests that our wedding was one of, if not the, best wedding they’ve ever been to. That is definitely because of Newagen. If you want a coastal, peaceful vibe with highly organized professionals running your wedding, then Newagen is your place. Reviewed on 15-11-2022
Kara Mistretta(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-05-2021 My husband and I found Newagen and fell in love with it on our trip to Boothbay when we were looking at a few other venues. Newagen had so much Maine coastal charm and so many beautiful components not only to the wedding package and venue, but with its staff as well. Abby, Sandy, and Maura are all wonderful. They helped us plan so flexibly during the pandemic, they made what could have been a disaster flow smoothly. When the wedding day came, with a different looking wedding than originally planned, they and their staff were incredible. I wish we could go back and do it all again. The venue itself is stunning, both inside and out. If you’re looking for Maine coast...go here!! Reviewed on 27-05-2021

I was so lucky to have my wedding at this venue. If you are looking for a special place and want to have the absolute BEST people helping you along the way you should choose Newagen! Sandy and Abby are the most helpful, caring, and friendly people and made the process easier than I ever could have imagined. The setting is gorgeous and the food is amazing! Can’t thank them all enough. Reviewed on 06-10-2020
Erin Leach(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-09-2018 Our wedding was the best weekend ever thanks to the Newagen Seaside Inn. About 80% of our guests had never been to Maine before. We wanted a location that showed how beautiful it is, and why Maine is so special to us. Newagen Inn delivered! From our Lobster Bake welcome party all the way through to our after party, it could not have been more perfect. A few of our guests said the food was delicious, and the best meal they have had at a wedding! We loved that Newagen was right on the water, and every event of the weekend was in a different spot on the property. We even had a lobster boat pick up me and my husband for pictures on the water, they came out beautiful. Thank you so much to Sandy, Cheri and the entire staff at the Newagen Inn for making our wedding the best weekend and celebration. Thank you!! Reviewed on 10-10-2019
Brittany Rubenstein(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-08-2019 We recently got married and chose the Newagen Seaside Inn as our venue. We visited the inn for the first time after a snowstorm in March and we instantly fell in love with the property. Our actual wedding weekend did not fall short of AMAZING!! All of our guests are still raving about the weekend and have continuously said it was the best wedding weekend ever! Our wedding coordinator was Sandy, we give her 10 stars. We live out of state and had to communicate frequently with her. Of course we had lots of questions and concerns, but Sandy was there for every need. She responded to every email (and there were a lot!) in a timely manner and made us feel at ease during a very stressful time. She is a huge asset to their team.Upon arrival at the inn, guests were greeted by very friendly staff, Abby (general manager) and her staff were extremely accommodating to all of their needs. We had guests arriving at all different times throughout the day and the front staff was very helpful to get them all checked in. The best part of the weekend, and our most selling point (beside the gorgeous views) was that the inn was only booked for our wedding guests. The entire property was ours and made us truly feel like royalty. Furthermore, we can't say enough about the food! Throughout the weekend and of course the actual reception, the food was amazing! They have a very talented chef there, Nathaniel Adam, and we can't say enough! We've been to lots of weddings and the food doesn't compare.Finally, the staff was the friendliest as can be. The staff worked multiple events throughout the weekend and were there for every need. As you walked the property you would always get a friendly smile and hello. Abby, the general manager, was such an amazing person to work with! She was on site most of the weekend and was always there to help us. I would highly recommend the Newagen Seaside Inn to anyone who is thinking about getting married on the beautiful coast of Maine. We can't wait to go back every year!- Brittany & Justin Reviewed on 14-09-2019
Maria Patricia Miranda(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-06-2018 I can’t believe I haven’t posted my review! It’s been over a year since our wedding weekend in June, but our friends and family still talk about how much fun they had. Though I am biased, I have been told by many that ours was the best wedding they had ever been to and I would have to agree! After our first meeting with Cheri, I knew that Newagen was THE place, and that was even on a cloudy day in October. She welcomed us with open arms and allowed us to envision our special day at Newagen. I primarily worked with Sandy Timberlake who was a joy to work with. She helped us through the process and making deadlines. From the laid back classic perfectly executed lobster bake by the ocean, with the giant chess game and fire pit, to the outside cocktail hour and wedding reception inside. The old school bowling and billiard room was the perfect post wedding party with snacks. Everything was executed perfectly. We ended with brunch the following morning. Also, the inn was newly renovated and all the cottages were fresh and inviting! I have the fondest memories and Newagen and the staff! Cheri and Sandy were amazing and anyone would be lucky to have their wedding weekend at this gorgeous Maine Inn. Reviewed on 23-08-2019
Maura Daly(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-06-2019 Newagen gave us our absolute dream wedding. The inn had been very special to us before we shared our special day there, but after spending our wedding weekend there with all of our closest friends and family, the inn and all of the staff truly hold a very special place in our heart’s. The feel of Newagen is simply spectacular. As the bride, I never once felt stressed once I stepped on the property. It’s actually impossible NOT to relax there. The staff are all extremely helpful, approachable, and ensured that every single person had the best time imaginable. Sandy worked so hard execute everything as smoothly as possible. She was a joy to work with every step of the way. Corinne, Abby, Debbie, Tian, Ricardo, Noelle, Tiffany, and Janele -(just to make a few!) made us and our guests feel like VIPs and by the end of our weekend the staff was like a part of our family. Another shoutout certainly goes to the cleaning staff and the landscaper, Doug who all work so hard to keep the inn looking absolutely gorgeous inside and out! And of course, the FOOD was spectacular and we heard that feedback that from many many guests. Nathaniel is truly a professional and a master at his craft. We can’t wait to return for many years to come. Thank you to everyone at Newagen for an OUT OF THIS WORLD wedding that completely exceeded all of our expectations. Reviewed on 13-08-2019
Isabel Wise(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-07-2019 The most beautiful wedding venue in all of Maine. No other place will make you feel so immersed in the beauty of the Rocky Coast. The staff was incredible and worked hard to make our wedding perfect even though we had some pretty crazy thunderstorms rolling through. So many of our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and said they plan to go back now that they have discovered this slice of heaven! Having the whole weekend center around the Inn made for an incredible wedding weekend and stretched the fun across three days instead of just one. This is truly the most idyllic place to get married.

Aimee Belak(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-06-2019 Such an amazing weekend!!! One of the most important things my husband and I were looking at when choosing a venue was a place where our family and friends could make our own for the weekend and we absolutely got that at Newagen!! Between the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and wedding itself we truly felt like we made the property our own and got lots of meaningful time with everyone. The scenery speaks for itself, the food at the Inn was great, but what really made the weekend perfect was the outstanding service at Newagen. Sandy Timberlake the wedding coordinator was always responsive to my constant emailing prior to the wedding and went above and beyond to take care of all of the set up for the weekend to ensure everything ran smoothly so I (and my sister and mother) could enjoy themselves. Abby the general manager is also wonderfully kind and even swooped in to pick up guests when our planned transportation had some hiccups. The bartenders, servers, and other staff were also so thoughtful and kind and did everything they could to make guests really feel at home. Reviewed on 26-06-2019
Kelley Vesey(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-06-2018 Our wedding weekend at Newagen Seaside Inn was absolutely perfect. From the beautiful venue, the amazingly friendly and helpful staff, breathtaking locations, food, accommodations and just over all vibe, we could not have ask for anything more, icing on the cake was that it was 78 and sunny in mid June! Newagen initially caught my husbands attention because he saw they had a pool table in the game room. We scheduled a visit with Cherie ( who was awesome) and from the moment we stepped out of the car we just got all the right feels. Having the entire place for just our guests, right on the water for the whole weekend was a big part of why we picked this venue. I cannot say enough good thing about Sandy Timberlake, she was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire planning process. She is so responsive, experienced and happy to go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. I did not worry about one detail from the moment we arrived until the time we left, it was literally the perfect weekend spent with our closest family and friend in the most beautiful spot. We had a lobster bake rehearsal dinner on-site the night before the wedding, the food was amazing, the setting was beautiful with the bistro lights and some live music, plus no one had to be bused anywhere, everyone just got to enjoy kicking off the weekend.

Danni Mandra(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-09-2017 There are simply not enough good things to say about the Newagen Seaside Inn and we are beyond happy that we chose them as our wedding venue! There is something really special about being able to have all of your loved ones stay on site and to have every wedding-related event on one property. It doesn’t just make things easy and functional, it’s ridiculously fun too! As a guest, every person you run into that weekend is there for the same wedding you are, which creates a really exciting atmosphere. And as a bride or groom, it is awesome to not have to worry about how to get people from one place to the next and to know that the Newagen has a ton of fun things to do so you don’t need to be concerned about providing entertainment pre-wedding. There is the Pine Room, which has candlepin bowling, shuffleboard, pool, ping pong and more (this was a big hit with our guests not just during the after party but also throughout the weekend) and then there is a giant chess board, bicycles, corn hole, beautiful scenery to explore and of course, a bar! And I should mention that the bar/pub serves AMAZING food. Besides being a prime location for both a party crowd and those who might be more into relaxing, the Newagen also has the most friendly, accommodating and genuinely fun staff I’ve ever encountered. They even danced with my Grandma during the reception and she can’t stop talking about what a great time she had with all of the folks who work there :). And then there is Maddie Rideout, Wedding Coordinator Extraordinaire! I had the best experience working with Maddie from start to finish. I never waited more than a couple of hours for a response to a question and felt that she was totally engaged in our wedding and committed to helping me bring our vision to life. By the time our wedding weekend rolled around, Maddie felt more like a friend than anything else. In short, we had the wedding weekend of our dreams, our guests are still telling us how much fun they had and the Newagen Seaside Inn is a place that we will gladly recommend to anyone that wants to have an unforgettable Maine wedding!

It was so nice to check in on Friday and not have to leave for anything! We did everything right on property – rehearsal dinner, s’mores, ceremony, reception, and after party! Maddie, the wedding coordinator, is excellent! We were unsure/nervous about some things leading up to the wedding, but she always answered our questions and reassured us that it would come together. She was also very helpful day of getting things where they were supposed to be and fixing last minute things we forgot. The staff was wonderful; they were so friendly and really seemed like they were enjoying themselves at the wedding. Food was excellent too!

Our wedding did turn out to be amazing, but Newagen is definitely overpriced for what it is, and they were extremely difficult to deal with in the planning process.

Not only did we (the bride and groom) have the best day ever, but so did our guests. I have repeatedly had people tell me that it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Yes, some of that had to do with my planning, but also it had to do with the magical venue and the wonderful execution of my requests on Newagen! We had perfect weather for our day and our guests were dazzled by the view. If you want an enchanting Maine wedding then this is where you should have it!One thing that sets this venue apart is the food. This is not going to be terrible wedding food. It is all delicious. We did the Lobster Bake for the rehearsal dinner and it was a HUGE hit. The lobster was tasty, along with the other options, and our guests just felt like it was a perfect start to the wedding. The s’mores also add a cute touch! The staff is also wonderful! The bartenders, servers and front desk staff were all so accommodating. They made it so our wedding ran super smooth. Amanda, our wedding coordinator, was great as well. She did not come on until only two months before our wedding and previous to her, the wedding coordinator was leaving so we were not getting the attention I felt we should, but once Amanda was on the job she made it so the day ran smoothly.And you can’t beat the views! My pictures are absolutely fabulous because of this venue. If we had to choose a venue all over again we would definitely go with Newagen! We can’t wait to go back for our anniversary!

Jen Mcnamara(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-07-2014 The Newagen is a special spot. You know it the moment you drive up to the inn. We wanted a place where our guests could relax and enjoy together for our wedding weekend and the Newagen did all of that. The staff was absolutely fantastic and really seemed like they enjoyed their work. They certainly went the extra mile to be sure everyone was comfortable. The setting is incredibly beautiful and you have a chance to take advantage of all the Newagen has to offer. \rWe went with an inside wedding in the new function room. We had 215 guest which was a bit crowded. I can't imagine a bigger party in that room. The air conditioner broke and the windows had to be closed due to noise complaints from the neighbors so it was really really hot (like mop the bride's sweat off with a towel hot). That was the only down part of the wedding. Luckily, because we had the whole inn to ourselves, guests could enjoy the deck and foyer to cool off.\rThe lobster bake rehearsal dinner and bonfire were a huge hit as was the after party in the Pine room.\rGuests also stayed at The Ocean Gate and BeachCove Inns and were really pleased with their accomodations. \rWe loved every minute of our Newagen wedding weekend.
