The Oceanview of Nahant Reviews
Alison Corwin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-06-2022 When I first started looking at wedding venues, I knew I wanted an ocean vibe. As I was scrolling through The Knot website, I came across the venue as it was listed as in my price range. When I finally went on the website, I was floored. I knew immediately this was where I wanted to get married. The wooden doors, the beach stone terrace, and ocean...it was gorgeous. Seeing it in person sealed the deal. Because of COVID, our wedding date was delayed by 2 years; however, Oceanview's staff was very responsive and easily reachable throughout which was helpful in the planning process. During our two year wait, the cocktail hour room had been refurbished. It is a beautiful room with gorgeous details on the ceiling. I liked the fact that the cocktail room was separate from the dance floor for my guests if they wanted to get away from the music. There are also many places outside for guests to escape which I also appreciated.In terms of the food, it was excellent! I had so many guests raving about the food! Prior to the wedding date, I was worried because more than 3/4 of our guest count opted for the beef. I had been to other weddings where meat had been cooked inconsistently or was served cold. Not here! Everyone said their meat was cooked perfectly and was so tender! In addition to the main courses, they have a variety of yummy appetizers and desserts. We opted for smores at the end of the night on the beach which is a fun way to end the day.When I first looked at the venue, I thought it was too good to be true that I could afford such a wonderful place. I had guests approaching me thinking the venue was way more expensive than what I actually paid for it. For the view, the food, and the staff, it is truly a bargain! The staff is extremely attentive and it is nice that there is only 1 wedding at a time which I had seen other venues not offer. We opted for the all inclusive package which includes cocktail appetizers, beer and wine for cocktail hour and for 1 hour at end of the night during the firepit finale with smores, the 3 course meal, the DJ, a photo booth, and favors at the end of the night. It was a great deal and helped us from having to find a DJ. If you are looking to save some money like we were, this would be a great option!Clearly, I can't stop gushing about this venue. As cliche as it sounds, it was a perfect day and Oceanview's staff and ambiance helped make it come to life. Highly recommend! Reviewed on 16-07-2022

From our initial meetings to our wedding day, the staff at Oceanview of Nahant did an incredible job at helping us with our every need. They were more an accommodating when it came to all of the things we wanted to make sure were present. We loved how detail oriented the entire staff was throughout the whole process. The space itself is just amazing, but it’s really the people that make it that much better. When some unfortunate events transpired, the team worked swiftly to help solve them and we couldn’t be more appreciative of that. Reviewed on 21-01-2024

This is the first venue we toured and I honestly thought there was no way it was as good as it looked online or at all reasonably affordable, and I was completely wrong. We knew from that first meeting that it was perfect. All of our guests thought we had spent double what we ended up paying. Granted, we did a Sunday afternoon in December, but your wedding is absolutely what you make it! We had atrocious weather, but everything was warm and dry inside the tent, and the staff checked in with us throughout the night to try to make sure we got to do everything we wanted. And when the weather prevented us from doing some things, they adapted and provided alternatives and made sure the night was still everything we dreamed it could be. I could not recommend the Oceanview enough if you're looking for a beachside ceremony, regardless of the season! Reviewed on 10-01-2024

Oceanview was the exact venue I was looking for - it was my whole vision: on the beach, but don't get sandy or wet. The facilities are gorgeous, newly renovated, and tastefully decorated to where you don't need to do a ton of your own decor. The consultants are outstanding! Sammi was very quick to answer emails about whatever I was stressing about on any given day. And the day of my wedding went so smoothly - a hiccup here or there due to weather and timing but we never even knew until after the fact, and our guests had no idea. They are organized and detail oriented. There are so many different options to choose as upgrades to really make your day/night custom to you and your partner, although they do charge extra for most of these. They were very accommodating to us with our signature cocktails as we wanted to use our own recipes instead of options from their suggested list. We brought some of our own ingredients and the bartender made our drinks come to life! The planning portal was a life saver especially when it came to the seating chart but also just to make sure we were hitting all the right spots with our planning. After hosting our wedding and making our dreams come true, Oceanview will forever have a place in our hearts! Reviewed on 30-12-2023

It was just when we had given up our hopes of finding a venue with an ocean view that The Knot recommended Oceanview of Nahant. We thought there was no way this venue would fit in our budget--The Knot had to have it wrong---but never assume! Not only was Oceanview budget-friendlier than all of the other venues we considered, they treated us like family from start to finish. Two weeks after our wedding, our guests continue to rave about the food, view, and the all-around gorgeous venue. We cannot thank the staff enough for their hard work, kindness, and attention to detail. They made our wedding so memorable. If you want an event executed with attentiveness and care, this is the venue for you! Reviewed on 27-12-2023

Oceanview was the only venue that we looked at for our wedding! We knew we wanted to be oceanside, but all of the other venues (while just as beautiful) were not right on the water or didn't fall into our price point. From our first meeting at OV to our wedding day, the staff here made everything we could have possibly dreamed of come true! Every question that we had was answered or problems solved and we couldn't have asked for better partners in planning our big day! The venue is stunning and perfect for seaside photos. Our wedding was outdoors and we had the bubbly welcome package with bubbles released once we were married. Everyone raved about how gorgeous the ceremony was, how friendly the staff were, and how beautiful the space was overall. The natural lighting from the floor to ceiling windows in the ballroom is unmatched... it truly creates a dream space! We went very minimal on decor and flowers because of how naturally beautiful the venue is on its own.We had so many of our guests talk about how it was some of the best food they've had at a wedding. We did the chicken piccata, baked haddock, and mushroom ravioli. For appetizers, we had the short rib quesadilla, arancini, and bacon wrapped scallops. Everything was perfect! Our drinks were never empty and the timeline of our day was seamless because of their exceptional attention to detail. I would 10000% recommend this venue to anyone who asks! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much to everyone at Oceanview for making sure our September wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and more. Reviewed on 11-12-2023

Although we didn’t get the perfect summer day the venue was still great. The planners from the moment we booked were easy to work with and accommodating to our needs. Our guests couldn’t believe how big the meal portions were and said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. My only complaint/recommendation is to not book the Saturday after 4th of July. We were notified 3 weeks before our wedding that the town of Nahant’s holiday fireworks would be that night and the one road leading up to our venue would be closed from 6-10pm with no guests allowed in or out during that time. This caused a lot of stress just a few weeks prior to our wedding. Although this was not the venues fault, and was coming from the town, I feel like everyone should be aware this could happen to them Reviewed on 15-10-2023

This venue was absolutly phenomenal! Over the year they kept clear communication and provided videos of the ceremony since we were out of country and couldnt attend a rehearsal. The day of they ran through everything that was going to happen step by step. They checked in with us constantly to make sure we were doing okay and if we ever needed anything. The food was delicious and the portions were bigger then needed. They set up our decorations beautifully and arranaged everything to our exact specifications. To top it all off the location is gorgeous and every tiny detail is clearly catered to weddings and love. We had the all inclusive package and it had everything we ever wanted including our DJ. They also had great reccomendations for other vendors such as our photographer.If you are looking for a beach or ocean front wedding this is the place to go.

My (now) husband and I got married here on 09/17/23. We knew IMMEDIATELY this was the venue of our dreams the moment we arrived for a tour. The venue from the inside out was absolutely gorgeous. If you like/want a nautical/ocean themed wedding, then this is the place for you for a wedding or any function! There was a spectacular view of the ocean for us and our guests during the ceremony and reception. The ceremony was held outside with the breath-taking views and the reception and cocktail hour was held inside their stunning ballroom. The owners and ALL of the wedding coordinators customer service was beyond exceptional. The appetizers and dinner were absolutely delicious, not to mention we had a signature drink called the “shark bite” that had a yummy gummy shark in it. The cocktail lounge area is modern but beautifully renovated to still keep with the nautical theme. The space has a built-in arcade and numerous photo-worthy neon signs and picturesque spots on the balcony and by the beach. Later in the evening there were fire-pits set up on the beach for s’mores, complimentary flip flops provided, and four available games of cornhole set-up for everyone. We were able to have a BEAUTIFUL last dance on a small platform that has a nautical themed anchor in the middle. It has a fog effect that makes for the most picturesque magical photos. I would undoubtedly recommend this venue to ANYONE for any function who loves the beach and or nautical vibe. Reviewed on 21-09-2023

This venue is the perfect combination of elegant and seaside. From the incredible food, to the experienced staff & coordinators, this venue is a finely tuned machine. The views are absolutely unbeatable and the space is so wonderful. They KNOW weddings!! You get so much support, love, encouragement and happiness through Oceanview. Every time I visited for a tour or food tasting right up to the final meeting, I felt reinforced EVERY time that we picked the absolute perfect place for us to get married. There are multiple spaces for guests to hang out and plenty of room on the dance floor - even with 160+ guests!

I cannot recommend this venue, staff, catering enough! All of the very best bundled into one place. My family has continued to rave about our wedding for over a month now, it was truly the best day of my life!! It was a dream come true, and all because of the Oceanview. From the start they were so professional and caring, you can tell how much a flawless wedding really matters to the staff at the Oceanview. We were planning it out of state which made it a bit more stressful, but it did not matter!! It turned out just liked we had hoped. And even after we arrived late to the venue after traffic from the Church ceremony, Ally and Claire were absolutely amazing and sweet. Seriously, the best ladies we could have asked for. Even when I was being a stress ball not knowing what the heck the timeline was, they had it under control! So feel free to let go ladies, you really have nothing to worry about with the Oceanview.

Our wedding day at the Oceanview was nothing short of perfect! Everything about the venue is clean, up to date, and gorgeous. The new lounge gives it a more modern and chic vibe, but still ties in perfectly with the ocean-view theme. Allison and the rest of the staff are so easy to talk to and quickly responded to any and all questions that I had. They also recommended our photographer- Chris Connor from 26 North Studios- who is simply amazing. Allison got on the phone with me when needed and the online portal is very easy to use. In the final weeks prior to my wedding, Allison and Sammi were so helpful and made sure that they understood how I wanted all of my decor set up and helped us make final selections for our meals, etc. The day-of, not one person bothered me with any questions and everything ran smoothly. Ralph was our day-of concierge and we probably would have been lost without him! He looked out for us, made sure we had food and drinks, took care of my bouquet, and guided us throughout the night. From when we should say hi to our guests, to the dances with our parents, Ralph was on-top of everything and made sure we were where we needed to be. He even had the staff wrap up my food for me when I wasn’t able to finish it. On your wedding day it is SO important to have nice, personable people looking out for you and that is exactly what the Oceanview does for you. I highly recommend ending the night with a last dance on the beach and their Fire Pit Finale. It is something totally different that your guests will remember and gives you more time to be able to relax and hang out with your guests. On top of all that, the food was AMAZING and our friends and family are still raving about how delicious everything was. Thank you to the Oceanview to hands-down the most perfect day.

The venue is absolutely stunning, the amount of compliments that we received was positively overwhelming. The view is breathtaking, the ballroom is gorgeous, the new bar is fantastic. Working with the Oceanview was a breeze. Very responsive and organized. The food was ON POINT. The braised short rib was raved about, especially its portion size and tenderness. The hors d’oeuvres were delicious, especially the arancinis and coconut chicken bites. For the most part, everything was a dream. If I had to give one critique, I heard from multiple of my bridal party, family and friends that they rushed us out very aggressively. They started taking our stuff saying “you need to get it out NOW” “we have a wedding in the morning” (it was around 11-11:30 at night, and it’s not like I would leave everything that I paid a lot of money for behind intentionally.) I had guests running around helping to put our stuff in whatever cars they could find. At the end of the night, it was very “get out, get out!” Which quickly set a new tone to my almost flawless day. My guests and party were unsettled when getting back to the hotel because I guess, it was just that hectic and stressful dealing with that rushing around. Never the less, my team made it work and got it all out and settled under that pressure. I understand a time line (which we were on) however, for the amount of money a couple spends on a few hours giving such a beautiful venue business and exposure, at least have a little bit of consideration. Other than that, I’ll still give 5 starts because our wedding was amazing and the best day of my life regardless! Reviewed on 19-06-2023

We had a perfect wedding day at the Oceanview! The staff are all wonderful and made everything go smoothly every step of the way from planning through the wedding day. They are aware of every detail and coordinate very well with outside vendors. We didn't have to worry about a thing at our wedding. The outdoor ceremony area and indoor reception space are both beautiful and the last dance on the beach is so unique! The reception area is already very well decorated so you don't need to provide much of your own decor. The separate cocktail lounge and outdoor decks are awesome - both are great areas for guests who aren't into loud music or dancing. Their prices are definitely on the more affordable side for wedding venues in the Boston area, especially for places right on the ocean. They offer tons of options to fit your budget. Our wedding was probably on the more simple and affordable end for this venue, and it was fantastic! So many guests told us they've never been to such a beautiful wedding. The food is delicious! I highly recommend the beef short ribs, and you'll get to try almost everything at your tasting session. They were also very helpful in recommending DJs, photographers, transportation.

We booked the venue off of pictures alone since we currently live out of state and it's even more breathtaking in person. From the very minute we booked with the Oceanview team we knew we were in good hands. They are kind, attentive, and overall super fun people to work with. They truly just want to make your dreams come true and have your vision come to life. Every single person we worked with was the most friendly, helpful and caring individual. From the amazing tasting that they have for all of their couples, to their ability to accommodate us on zoom for tours and meetings they are absolute professionals. You never ever feel like a number or just another couple, they are truly invested in getting to know you and helping in any way possible. Ally was amazing to work with and so incredibly responsive to all of my questions big and small. Lish was the sweetest person to be around on our wedding day and just went above and beyond to help in any capacity. Ralph was the most amazing bridal concierge and was there to help with everything from my bustle, (seriously very impressive) to keeping us all laughing and having fun. Our guests are raving about the views, how amazing the food was (HUGE portions), and all of the fun add ons like late night Chinese food, s'mores and firepits on the beach and whiskey and cigars. The bridal suite is huge and it was such a big help to have a private area to refresh and regroup in throughout the night. The views are stunning and the Oceanview just has it figured out down to every single detail. They keep the day so stress free because you don't have to worry about a single thing, they have it all taken care of. As an A-type person (and bride) they exceeded every single expectation I could have imagined. This venue is so unique and special from all of the beautiful decor, to the brand new bar area, to the incredibly special last dance on the beach it was so amazing. I wish that the day could have lasted forever. Seriously trying to convince all of my friends to get married here so I have an excuse to go back!! Reviewed on 20-05-2023

Everyone we met from that first day to our wedding day were so caring, so friendly, and so helpful throughout the entire process. The entire venue from the ceremony space, the cocktail room and the reception room are absolutely perfect and gorgeous. It also sits right on the water, offering gorgeous beach views. Even with a November wedding, it was absolutely dreamy in their tent right on the beach. We also did the all inclusive-package they offer and it truly made the planning process easier from the centerpieces, to the lighting, to the DJ. Food and drink offerings were also delicious as most weddings we have been to are the normal, bland wedding food. I really cannot say enough good things about Oceanview and their employees.

Meagan Lewis-Michelson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-10-2022 When I think back to our wedding day at Oeanview, I want to relive the day over and over again. While many wedding-centered venues can feel generic, Oceanview manages to avoid that -- partly because of the unique location, partly because of the highly accommodating staff, partly because of the venue's flexibility in allowing the couple to create personalized touches. We worked with wonderful Alison early in the planning process, and then worked directly with Lish as our personal coordinator. Both of them were ON TOP OF IT -- sweet and communicative from the very first day of planning. Most importantly, on the day of the event, Lish spearheaded all of the action so seamlessly. Everybody knew exactly where they needed to go, without any confusion or distraction. Due to impending rain, we ended up having to have our ceremony inside...and you know what? It couldn't have been more beautiful. And we're still receiving rave reviews about both the haddock and short rib entrees! Whether hosting an indoor or outdoor wedding, Oceanview goes above and beyond to create a truly magical day for a couple.PS - We are a same-sex couple and were thoroughly impressed by Oceanview's commitment to inclusivity.

I saw this venue on a friend’s social media & knew one day I would have my wedding there. Fast Forward to 2020 it was the first venue we toured & booked it that day. The venue has everything you need: views, great esthetic, amazing food & drinks, & a bunch of extras to elevate your day. We added the champagne & bubbles to our ceremony, whiskey & cigar bar, ice cream & milk shake bar, & the deck heaters. Our guests had an amazing experience & continue to talk about how great the venue was from location to food &drinks. The staff at Oceanview was amazing- Allison was there to answer every email about every question I could of had. Claire and Ralph made our day go off without any problems & kept us on schedule.

From our first tour, they made us feel so special and answered any questions we may have had. Throughout the process, their communication was incredibly quick and helpful, giving even the most insignificant questions thoughtful answers. Our final meeting left us feeling so at ease, as Allison answered most of our questions before we even asked them. Finally, when the wedding came, Oceanview made the whole day effortless. We just showed up and didn’t have to think about a thing other than enjoying our day. The staff there are a well-oiled machine and know how to keep everything on schedule and everyone happy. The food was so delicious. Having a venue that is specifically for weddings is such an advantage, as they anticipate everything that may come up, know how to plan every important detail, and take so many small planning tasks out of the equation for couples (renting dinnerware, decorations, etc.). We seriously could not have imagined the day being this effortless and magical for us. I can’t say enough great things about this venue and 100% recommend it. Reviewed on 21-09-2022

The cocktail hour and reception went so smoothly thanks to Allison and our personally appointed day of coordinator, Ralph. Our guests are still telling us how our wedding was at one of the most beautiful and dynamic venues they have ever been too. My only reason for not giving 5 stars to the Oceanview is the food. While the cocktail hour food and grande finale dessert was amazing, the entrees were just okay. Other than the beef short rib (which was SO DELICIOUS) we had a tough time selecting our other entree options.

Morgan Berryman(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-08-2021 There is a reason why the Oceanview of Nahant has an amazing reputation. The atmosphere is incredible, food delicious, and views are stellar. When I first began talking to OV, they were helpful and friendly. Over time during covid changes, they were always keeping us up to date. When it came time for our tasting, we were more than impressed, though we really wished they had brunch food which was the menu we wanted. At the final meeting, we were made aware we could add an additional hour to our wedding which was already a tight timeline (The sat morning wedding). We decided to add that on, and while we were glad we did, there was even more pressure to get out of there before the next wedding at 530. Some constructive criticism, I did not feel supported by my day of coordinator, and bridal party members and guests had mentioned she was short and rude with them. It started when I had tried calling when I was on my way, and got no answer. I asked my husband to get someone to call me so that I could be assured he wouldn't see me. It took a good 20 minutes to get a call back, and by then I was essentially there. I kept having to ask where certain people were, and what was going on.

We booked it officially 2 days after the venue tour. The Oceanview of Nahant is a hidden paradise in Nahant, MA that is completely private on a beautiful rocky beach. The staff at the venue goes above and beyond from that very first time you tour to the final goodbye at the end of your wedding day. Our coordinator throughout the entire planning process was the lovely Allison and she was incredible. We are a covid couple, our original wedding date was 8.8.20 and in July of 2020, we made the difficult decision to postpone due to the pandemic. Allison was there to help with anything we needed and she made the postponement process as seamless as possible. She spent many hours with me on the phone and sent countless emails to answer all the questions and concerns I had. Yesterday (8.8.21) we finally had our wedding celebration and wow, the team at the Oceanview did an absolutely incredible job. From the moment of arrival, Erica, Lish, Mike, the bartenders, all the staff on site that day made sure we were happy and ready for the big day. They kept the drinks flowing, the food hot, the dance floor clean. We were asked consistently if we needed anything and we just couldn't be more thrilled with our experience. Our guests raved about the raw bar, the signature drinks, the clambake menu, the photo booth and everyone was shocked and excited about the ice cream truck being on site at the end of the reception!

Meghan Kelly(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-06-2021 My husband and I got married at Oceanview of Nahant on June 5, 2021. It was the best day of our lives, but leading up to this wedding was a little crazy because of COVID. My husband and I struggled with the decision of moving our wedding and losing our date. Our wedding coordinator, Allison, worked with us to keep our date in addition to saving a winter date in 2022 at no additional cost, which was so beyond generous of her. However, we got extremely lucky with the guidelines lifting the week before our wedding and being able to have our full wedding on June 5th. Allison worked with us throughout all the decisions and guideline changes to make us feel fully informed and prepared for what our June 5th wedding would look like. She also dealt with several requests from my family, including having a wine wall, champagne wall, and 2 signature drinks! She also helped place all of our homemade centerpieces the day of the wedding at no additional cost. In addition to Allison, you have the whole Oceanview staff behind you. We worked with many coordinators during the rehearsal and the day of, and they were all incredible. They made our day easy and fun, and they always had the biggest smiles on their faces! Other things I think are worth mentioning include the complimentary tasting you get to help decide on food choices for the wedding (it's really fun, you get open bar and food and get to see a bunch of the couples that will be getting married that year). BTW, the food was INCREDIBLE. We highly recommend doing their grilled cheese station during cocktail hour - everyone at our wedding was raving about it. Also, the surf and turf options were a huge hit and not significantly higher prices than the other meal options. We did the lobster and filet - the lobster was perfectly presented (I was nervous I'd be flying juices on my dress but it was perfectly placed within the shell with no additional work for the guests) and the filet was perfectly cooked. I also want to mention the fact that you can pay for an additional hour the night of your wedding to go outside on their stone beach for smores, beer, wine, and continued dancing. My husband and I got to do our last dance outside with our guests surrounding us with sparklers which I'd never seen before - something super special :) I know I'm forgetting so many things to mention, but just know that you will be taken care of by Oceanview and they will make your day one you will never forget.

We were their first wedding after reopening and I'm still in awe about how much fun we had and how smooth everything went! The Oceanview made our pandemic wedding better than the original plan. You're in good hands with Mike, Matt, Allison, Ralph and Richard! Reviewed on 15-07-2020
Deanna M(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-10-2019 My husband and I immediately fell in love with the venue- even though the day of our first meeting it was a very rainy, windy day. We were in awe of how beautiful the venue was even in the worst weather. Allison guided us through the process and answered all of our questions. The day of the wedding, we couldn’t have asked for better weather, it was cool but the skies were clear and it was beautiful. The entire night went flawlessly and all of the guest are still talking about the venue, the view, the food (they really loved the cocktail hour apps), and the staff. Ralph kept us on schedule and was great to work with. The fellas that night working the bar were also so incredibly energetic and fun. We did our last dance on the beach with sparklers and the s’mores after party. We wish we could do relive the night all over again, it was just that amazing. Reviewed on 12-11-2019
Amanda DiPietro(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-09-2019 My husband and I got married at the Oceanview on 9/7/2019 and it was the most PERFECT day! I cannot even begin to describe how great everyone at the Oceanview is. From the early planning stages to the final days leading up to the wedding, Allison and the rest of the staff helped us with anything we needed. The day could not have run more smoothly. Ralph was there for us all day, even helping me when my hair got a little messed up from someone giving me a hug lol. The property is absolutely gorgeous! Standing up at the alter and hearing the sound of the waves behind us is something I will never forget. If you're looking for an affordable venue right on the beach, beautifully renovated, and has the best staff ever, Oceanview is just that and more! Reviewed on 11-11-2019
Mary Boyum(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-10-2019 The staff of oceanview have been fantastic since the first day we stepped foot there. They were kind, generous, and full of helpful ideas. I felt completely supported by them the entire 8 months we worked with them prior to our wedding. On the day of our wedding their service and attention to making my spouse and I comfortable was so appreciated. Every member of their team went above and beyond for us. They make every couple feel so special. I have already recommended this venue to several of my friends. Reviewed on 30-10-2019
Nicole Martino(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-09-2019 Where to begin! I could not recommend Oceanview more to anyone who is looking for a venue who cares about you, works hard with you to meet your needs, and is extremely affordable for the quality of service you receive. My husband and I just got married there in the beginning of September and the entire process we were treated like royalty. Originally when we took a tour we were greeted with a custom sign welcoming us, and Allison, our tour guide, was extremely helpful with answering all of our questions. Throughout the entire year the process was extremely organized, they went out of their way to email us friendly reminders, gave us tips about food selections, and we even got to go to a tasting event with other couples to welcome everyone which was super fun. They were also very responsive to phone calls and emails which as awesome. The day before the wedding we had a final meeting to discuss all of our details, and the owner was even kind enough to order an alcohol they didn't normally carry for no additional charge. They even created a custom ice cream flavor for us based on our wedding theme!!! From there it only got better, the day of the wedding they were extremely helpful in guiding our bridal party, the food was incredible, and they even stayed with us at the end to help us unpack all of our stuff and put it back in the car. We truly had a day to remember and it was because of this incredible team of people. My husband and I were even surprised with a free T-shirt as a gift! You can see they all clearly care about you and your big day, and I think what sets them apart is the fact that they only do weddings; that way they can devote all their attention to you versus it being at a hotel or something like that. Thank you Oceanview of Nahant, we are truly blessed and thankful you gave us a wedding to remember. 10000 HEARTS!!!! Reviewed on 26-10-2019
Jessica Griffith(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-10-2019 I don't know where to begin on how amazing the Oceanview and its staff are. The weather really threw things for a loop over my wedding weekend. It was rainy and extremely windy, which was heartbreaking because I always imagined having the ceremony outside with the stunning views. They had the ballroom set up for an indoor ceremony, and while it wasn't what I imagined, it was beautiful. Knowing how badly my husband and I wanted it outside, Ralph along with Allison and Caitlin kept checking the radar and were updating me on what was happening. They decided to delay the ceremony by 15 minutes, moved everyone outside, set up some chairs and somehow, the rain stopped long enough to get our ceremony and photos outside. They all truly went above and beyond to make this happen for us. Beyond this, the planning was stress-free -- they were always responsive with answering my questions and the day was absolutely seamless because of their professionalism. The food was amazing, the venue is stunning, and the staff will make your day better than you could even imagine. Reviewed on 18-10-2019
Kristina Kirk(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-09-2019 WOW. This place does it better than ANYONE. I have so many good things to say, I don't even know where to begin. From the second you walk into this place, they make you feel so special. Matt is amazing and welcomed us on our first private tour with a sign with our names and glasses of champagne. We hadn't even booked yet and this was already how they were treating us! We asked to bring our parents to see and they greeted us all the same way. After looking around with Matt, my dad looked at me and said he wouldn't have me getting married anywhere but the Oceanview. Planning with them was a BREEZE, thank god because I'm not a good planner/host so the whole wedding reception thing was terrifying to me. We coordinated mostly with Allison who was amazing. She got married there the week before me and she was answering emails right up to the week of her wedding! And she always answers super quickly which was so helpful. My fiancee said many times to me \"what would we have done without Ralph..\" Ralph was FABULOUS. He led us through the entire night, making sure we had plenty of time for fun but also ensuring we were at the right place at the right time the whole night. He coordinated my first look with my dad, showing us the reception room before the guests came in, the cake cutting, and so many other things. Our guests were SO impressed with this place. We got many positive comments about the food, staff, and view. I really can't say enough about this place, but I have to stop somewhere. I guess I'll end with saying I was literally crying tears of joy in the limo on the way home because our wedding blew my wildest dreams out of the water, thanks to the Oceanview Reviewed on 30-09-2019
Aurelia Rus(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-06-2019 We cannot say enough good things about the Oceanview! The entire staff is fantastic, and we felt they went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. We fell in love with the venue when we toured it, and opted for a Saturday afternoon clambake wedding this past June. They did an absolutely amazing job with their recent renovations so the venue is gorgeous inside and out. Our coordinator was fantastic to work with, and she made our planning process super easy as she was really responsive and the venue uses a planning portal. The day of, our coordinator made sure that everything ran on time and that my husband and I were where we needed to be so we didn't have to think about it. In addition to having a fantastic coordinator, the rest of the staff are wonderful as well and are all highly professional. I cannot recommend this venue enough! Reviewed on 30-09-2019
Sara Despres(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-08-2019 My husband and I got married at the Oceanview of Nahant on August 10, 2019. Let me start by saying it was truly the best day of our lives. From the day we booked, Allison was my go-to with any questions. She was amazing. She answered me so quickly and was always happy and willing to do anything to help. There was always reminders sent out so that you know exactly what you should be thinking about in the timeframe you have. There was never any pressure placed to go with any type of extras that they offer. I see that Oceanview’s goal is truly to make your day how you envisioned it. The day of the wedding, Ralph and Caitlin were there. They were available for anything we needed and thought of anything we didn’t think of. I think Ralph found my phone more than twice that night, and also searched for the box that our champagne flutes came in so they didn’t break on the ride home. Above and beyond. Mike also expressed to me how much fun he and the groomsmen had with him, and enjoyed hearing his many wedding hosting experiences. Oceanview as a team is a well –oiled machine. They are professionals at making your day beautiful. You can let go of everything and enjoy. Our wedding was nothing short of perfect. A month later, guests saying, “that was the best wedding I have ever been to”, and “I can’t get over the views at your venue!” Thank you Oceanview of Nahant, I would recommend you to anyone.

Brittany Bauer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-08-2019 From the first day I walked into Oceanview my first thought was- YES! I said yes to the venue because it immediately spoke to me with its decor and view. The venue is already beautifully decorated and always making updates to improve! Although I love to design and put my own touch on everything- I really did not need to decorate that much because it already looked so beautiful. I am 3 weeks out from my wedding, and I am still at a loss of words at how perfect the day was. I would highly recommend the Oceanview of Nahant!

Marita MacKinnon(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-07-2019 What a beautiful venue & such accommodating staff! We got married there July 6th of this past year and of the 4th of July holiday weekend, our wedding happened during the one time it rained and a major thunderstorm came through! They were all prepared for it to be outside, per our original plans & when the weather changed last minute and the storm was coming our way, they already had the inside venue set up for a ceremony inside the ballroom without us even asking. They took it upon themselves to be prepared for whatever happens and we're glad they did because it literally started down pouring within a half hour leading up to our ceremony time and I was stressing out thinking people were going to have to stand and nothing was set up how I wished with the aisle hangers, programs, etc. but once Ralph told me everything was all set upstairs in the ballroom exactly as it would be outside just not literally outside, my stress went away and we had a beautiful indoor ceremony still overlooking the water and it was cozy and romantic. It really was a beautiful setting. Then they effortlessly flipped the room from ceremony to reception set up without a flaw while the guests were in the bar room! It was amazing how quickly and professionally they turned that room around to suit every occasion! Additionally the staff made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish with the ceremony, introductions, speeches, cake cutting, you name it! They didn't miss a beat and they were so communicative and friendly. The whole staff we worked with directly, Ralph, Allison, and Matt really did everything they could to make our day the best it could be and we're so appreciative. Ralph even helped my bridesmaids bustle my gown when they couldn't find the remaining hook! He was fantastic & so patient with our guests (which was not an easy feat!). The food was INCREDIBLE! & let me tell you, there was no shortage or skimping of it. Our guests are still raving about not only how beautiful the venue was but how good the food was! The Oceanview really has so many options for you to choose from and we took full advantage of some of the add ons like the Whiskey & Cigar bar (which our guests LOVED) as well as the Taco Bar, and Sangria Bar. The Oceanview really offered and helped us throw a spectacular wedding which we'll forever remember so we can't recommend them enough!

Granted we lucked out with perfect weather on our big day, our experience with Oceanview was excellent from the start. When we first started looking at venues last year, Oceanview stood out to us as one of the most beautiful oceanfront venues. When we arrived for our first appointment to tour the venue, we were greeted by Allison who made us feel so welcome. After our initial meeting, we knew immediately this was where we wanted to say our I Do’s. Allison was our wedding coordinator throughout the planning process, and she was so incredibly patient and helpful in answering all my many questions. When our big day arrived, everything went so smoothly thanks to Ralph, our bridal concierge. Ralph was a superstar even assisting my maids of honor with my bustle! I really can’t imagine how our big day would have gone without Ralph there. Their staff is fantastic! We had the most beautiful backdrop for our ceremony on their Beach Stone Terrace. Our guests loved the bubbly ceremony with the champagne and ending bubbles. The venue has so many different areas where guests can hangout. My guests especially loved the outdoor deck that had doors to both the lounge and ballroom. I know our last dance on the beach with our guests holding sparklers was an incredible photo-op and our guests also loved the firepit finale end. So many of my guests told me afterwards that our wedding was one of the nicest weddings they have ever been to. If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience, I highly recommend Oceanview.

Mike Rymarczyk(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-06-2019 We were married at the Oceanview of the Nahant on 6/8/2019, and the whole experience was amazing. It all started with our first visit to the site in May 2018. When we go there, we noticed the spectacular location of the venue right on the shore, overlooking the ocean. Upon entering the building, we were greeted with a beautifully decorated nautical themed site, complete with a very pleasant scent that was present in the air of the entire venue. We meet with Allison, one of the fantastic staff members, who then showed us around the rest of the venue. After this, we sat down with her and told her what we were looking for in our wedding planning. However, we knew on our end that this was going to be the end of our search, and we were going to do everything we could to make it work. When Allison told us about the option for a mid-morning ceremony with a clam bake option for the meal, we were sold. It didn’t take much consideration on our part; we knew we were going to sign and commit to having our wedding at the Oceanview. Following that day, we were blown away with the responsiveness of all the people we interacted with. Everyone was so helpful and knowledgeable about what we needed to have done. They did a great job in keeping in touch with us as well, checking in every now and then to see how our planning was progressing. It was an all around fantastic experience working with Allison, Caitlin, and the entire crew over at Oceanview. They made our wedding day so much more special and enjoyable, and were very helpful in making sure that all our bases were covered and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. As for our wedding day, everything was perfect. We cannot emphasize enough how highly we recommend the Oceanview. -Mike and Shannon R., married 6/8/2019 Reviewed on 26-06-2019
Lindsey Donato(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-06-2019 My husband and I were just married at the Oceanview 6-7-19. We planned everything in six short months which made choosing a venue early, very important. I did not want to get married at a \"wedding factory\" (bad term) but once we sat down with the Oceanview staff - I changed my views. Oceanview KNOWS weddings. They understand how to coordinate vendors, execute events on time, keep things moving, keep everyone informed, etc. Trust me, you will be thankful for this. They calculated our ballpark price right on the day of our visit-everything was clear and transparent- no hidden fees, no extra gratuities or surprises the day of your wedding. You'll be all paid and worry free by the time your day rolls around. I'll add that I have worked in hospitality management since I was a teenager and my husband is an Executive Chef so we had very \"high standards\" and concerns regarding food and service. Oceanview worked with us to customize the menu a bit (e.g. 8 oz filets) and people adored the food. The Chef is a great guy and even met with my husband in advance to work out a menu. The service at the wedding was flawless. Two bartenders handled a 135 guest bar without a hitch - no long lines, no weak drinks. Ralph and his servers made sure I had a drink in my hand at all times and the packaged our leftover desserts for us to take home. Allison and Caitlin are delightful and they honestly want you to have the wedding of your dreams. Our guests are still talking about Oceanview - the water views during dinner and cocktail hour from the balcony, the ceremony (which will feel beautiful, casual, relaxed and intimate on the terrace) and the late night s'mores on the beach before going home. The whole wedding experience here will be unforgettable and unique for both you and your guests.
