Darlene and her team at the Union Bluff are EXCELLENT. Look no further if you are looking for a quaint coastal wedding, without sacrificing a traditional ballroom feel. My husband and I really appreciated how fast coordinators responded to our requests, how much they took care of us day of, and were incredibly accommodating with all of our requests (customization of the menu, special beer, etc). On the more fun side, the bar is AWESOME and kept everyone happy with strong drinks. I wouldn't say that the food at UB is out of this world, but definitely solid wedding food and lots of people complimented us on the hors d'ourves. The event staff were professional and so thorough with excellent service. Also, trust Darlene and her team with their vendor recommendations -- DJ Fred was truly excellent and knows the venue inside and out. One additional point is that I found the event staff/coordinators to be very easy to work with, but the front desk at UB was challenging to work with to coordinate all of our guests staying at the hotel, and required a LOT of my time and attention. I would do it all over again though, all of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and loved that the venue was attached to the hotel! Overall, my husband and I are so appreciative for Darlene and UB for making our wedding the best day of our lives! Reviewed on 19-11-2023

I have nothing but great things to say about this venue!! We had our wedding here in September 2023 and everything was incredible. Our coordinator, Kelsey, was very responsive and helped us with every little detail from the initial booking all the way through the end of the night when we asked if we could extend the reception time by a half hour. It was so nice to wake up on our wedding morning and not have to worry about a thing because Kelsey and her team took all of our decor and made the event space look beautiful. Not to mention, the weather was looking iffy all week and Kelsey was able to get us a rain tent last minute which was SO appreciated. Our guests can't stop raving about the venue, accommodations, and the food/drinks, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a beach wedding to book here!! The only suggestion I would echo is to make the hotel guest block more user-friendly to book, as a lot of our guests had issues not being able to get in touch with the front desk since you can't book through the block online. Thankfully Kelsey also helped us out with this when we needed to switch around some rooms! Reviewed on 30-10-2023

We loved everything about having our August 2023 wedding at the Union Bluff! The ceremony lawn overlooking the beach is beautiful, the food was DELICIOUS, and the wedding planning team led by Darlene helped our day run so incredibly smoothly. They accommodated every single one of our requests and their attention to detail was superb. Not to mention Short Sands Beach and York is the perfect beach wedding destination. The only complaint we had was the team that manages hotel bookings is a mess and not at all helpful. Our guests had a hard time booking in our room block - some were told it was sold out 6+ months before our wedding when others were allowed to book no problem. The rooms are all recently renovated and beautiful but it was an unnecessary headache since most of our guests travelled from out of town. Reviewed on 16-10-2023

I have absolutely nothing to say but GREAT things about The Meeting House and our wedding coordinator Kelsey Hannon. From the planning to executing everything was flawless. Kelsey was so receptive, flexible, patient and a true professional at her job throughout the entire planning process. She was so quick at answering questions or emails, she was a true life savor! The venue itself was beautiful and really allowed for personalization of the space. The bartenders, serving staff and all axillary staff were so pleasant and great throughout the whole night! My guests are still talking about how great the food was! If you are thinking of planning an event or wedding at The Meeting House I couldn't say enough great things about the space and staff!

Darlene and the entire Union Bluff team were nothing but an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding on July 15, 2023. The team was so responsive, helpful, friendly, and really helped us every step of the way with advice and constant communication. We couldn't have asked for a better coordinating team. The venue itself is incredible, you can't beat being right on the water, the food and drinks were exactly what we were looking for, and our vision was able to come together perfectly for our big day. We were able to have just about all of our guests stay onsite at the hotel, and everyone was so happy with their rooms, as were our closest family members that stayed in the suites above the meetinghouse. We also had our rehearsal dinner onsite at the Grill, and Kim was so easy to work with, and easily able to accommodate our larger party the night before our big day. I am so thankful we chose Union Bluff and could not recommend it more! Reviewed on 08-09-2023

BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE - YOU WONT REGRET IT! The planning, the food, the drinks, the scenery.... and not obscenely overpriced like others on the water. Kelsey and her colleagues are nothing short of amazing at what they do, and with this venue, you have a truly magical combination. I'm not the girl that's been planning her wedding since she was four, and the engagement was a surprise - so it goes without saying we needed a lot of help. The support from Kelsey made all the difference in the world.- she's a model of professionalism, poise and experience, and we would be lost without her. We had just the most magical day ever, and that wouldn't have been possible if she and the team were less than perfect. I truly don't know how they do it. Reviewed on 21-07-2023

We had to postpone our wedding a year due to COVID and they did not miss a beat. Even during the craziness of COVID and weddings in 2021, the staff was always an easy call, text, or email away. Amy made the process so easy and comforting and we were BEYOND lucky to work with her. We also had so much fun at the tastings - yes, we went to 3... thanks COVID! They set the tastings up so well and you really get to see the venue come to life, view different table setting options, and mingle with potential vendors. Not to mention the delicious food! Not a detail was spared on our big day and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. Our guests raved about the food, views, location, and atmosphere. We'd pick UB as our venue and Amy as our coordinator a million times over.

Lauren Cadena(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-07-2022 Maybe I’m biased because I love York, but I can not recommend this venue enough. (We did had a few issues with lodging, but as far as the wedding it was amazing). Our coordinator, Amy, was with us every step of the way. Amy answered my countless emails for 1.5 years and made me feel super comfortable! We got a package through them which included many of our vendors, so it made it super easy to work with everyone. We had a Sunday wedding on one of the busiest weekends in York, but it felt like it was truly “just us”. Amy made sure the decor was exactly how I wanted it, there food was amazing and everything ran super smooth! Also, free fireworks on our wedding? YES, PLEASE!**There was an issue my husband made m aware of after the wedding. My husband is very particular about tequila. He asked multiple times for a specific tequila at the wedding. The Friday before we met with Amy to make sure it was all set and were told it was. At the wedding my husband noticed the tequila was not being served. When he first asked Amy he was told that they drank it all at the rehearsal dinner. My first thought was if it was for the wedding why was being served at the rehearsal. My husband then explained he knew what people were drinking because he was giving recommendations and it was not the tequila for the wedding. After explaining that, he was then told that it was very hard to order. It felt like we were lied to and like they were just trying to cover a mistake. It was not enough to ruin our wedding but my husband was very upset as he could’ve easily bought the tequila and brought it in and that was his one request. Everything else was wonderful and I would just triple check on things that are important to you as my husband was frustrated. Reviewed on 21-07-2022

Darlene and her crew made sure everything in the ballroom was exactly how we envisioned it and it was beautiful. After hearing friends/family say they hadn’t eaten at their own weddings, I was nervous about getting food. I mentioned this to Darlene and she and the staff checked in on us through the whole event to make sure we had plenty to do eat and got to sample everything.

Sean Cunningham(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-06-2020 My fiance and I booked the union bluff meeting house for our dream wedding as york has always been our happy place and my family being property owners for the past 37 years here in town. We booked the venue for our 120(quoted guests) which ended up being 147 on guest list back in 2019 for the date of 6/14/2020. then the nightmare and uncertainty of covid hit, we did not want to cancel and our coordinator Darlene said that most weddings around our time were pushing out to July but outcome was still uncertain. We ultimately made the tough call and decided to push it out a year 6/13/2021 knowing that my father sick with cancer would likely not be here on this earth anymore to attend physically, beside that we would also have to agree to the increased food rate of 2021. We made the call and moved the date though very unsure we hoped for the best outcome and checked back for the 50 person restrictions to be lifted (47 guests,1 bartender, 1dj, 1 photographer). We checked back a few times and as the time came closer it became pretty certain that the restrictions would not be lifted in time to have dream wedding. Come February we were still restricted to 47 guests and were going to have to cut our wedding in 1/3. Both being from large families we realized that it wouldn't just be friends coming off the list but also many relatives. We decided to look into other options and found a venue in another state with no restrictions. we canceled the union bluff meeting house and booked the new venue. We then requested a refund for our 4500$ deposit given the financial circumstances of everyone during these times and the alloted time for them to book a new event we did not feel this to be unreasonable. Darlene refused right away claiming we forfeited our deposit and \"most likely\" restrictions would be lifted by our date. After many email correspondence they offered to give us a partial refund if they could book another event for the date. We had multiple friends call and leave messages requesting a date in June and they never heard back from the meeting house. Darlene sent us an email a couple months after canceling and told us that restrictions would be lifted on 5/24/21 and that we would not be receiving any refund now for our wedding that was supposed to take place 2 weeks later. We have multiple friends that had similar wedding dates at other venues that were canceled and fully refunded without any issue. Covid hit my family and friends hard just like most people and there are now 4 less guests on our list, my father being one. We do not feel it ethical at all to have to hire an attorney for 1,000$+ to try and get our deposit back when the only services rendered by the company/coordinator were a food tasting and email correspondence. It is sad that such a large successful company would take advantage of couples such as our selves and I'm sure we are not the only ones. I'd also like to note that all our vendors issued us refunds with no questions asked. Im hoping that reading this on paper will make something click with the coordinator or the venue and they will realize that this situation is just plain \"bad business\" and try and make it right and if not I hope this is a fair warning to other couples Reviewed on 21-06-2021

Shauna Murphy(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-08-2020 When my now husband and I booked this venue for our 2020 Wedding back in January of 2019, similarly to the rest of the world, we never could have guessed that COVID-19 would hit in 2020 and devastate not only our nation but the whole world! When we met Darlene, the Union Bluff (UB) event Coordinator in 2019, she was wonderful and so was the venue and her suggestions for nearby vendors...however, when COVID struck our dealings with Darlene and the UB quickly became nothing but stressful! We had put down over $5,000 worth of deposits towards our wedding and reception with the UB at this point and our potential guest count limit of 200 was being cut to 50 guests due to COVID Precautions by the State of Maine. We understood these precautions of course, however, what we did not feel was reasonable was that the UB refused to refund any portion of our deposit given the extreme circumstances which were COVID despite the fact that every other couple we spoke with getting married at other venues were able to get their deposit back even though other venues “contracts” say “non-refundable” also…Other venues were being understanding that COVID was not just any typical reason a wedding could have been canceled or changed and for that matter the UB’s “contract” says we were allowed to invite 200 guests and now they could not uphold their end of the “contract” either… As 2020 couples we were given 3 options: 1) move your whole wedding to 2021 but also pay 2021 prices, 2) keep your date with COVID restrictions and reduce your price only to the food/beverage minimum per the original contract 3) “keep and move” option keep your current date and if COVID improves have your wedding as planned but book another date later in 2020 or in 2021 (paying 2021 prices) …all of which offered NO money returned at all that was previously deposited. These were the options no matter how close you were to your wedding date also when the State regulations for COVID were changing almost weekly when COVID was at its worst in April/ May of 2020. My husband and I opted to have our ceremony at the UB since that was our dream and we could not get our money back and have many elderly family members that may not make it to see us get married in 2021 and move our reception to a New Hampshire Venue with more flexibility. All of our interactions with the UB and Darlene after COVID began were stressful and frankly, difficult because they were unreasonable about using money we already paid them towards our wedding, towards our Lawn ceremony needs. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone! If you get married here ask them to CHANGE THE CONTRACT! Don’t sign for a non-refundable deposit! Good luck! Reviewed on 13-08-2020

Everyone also told us that something is bound to go wrong on your wedding day, but Darlene made sure that did not happen for us. If you are looking to have a stress free day this is the team for you--I dropped off all of our reception decor and other items earlier in the week and Darlene and the staff at UB took care of everything. The following day everything was packed up neatly for us. We really didn't have to worry about a thing. Darlene even busted and unbustled my dress (twice!) when my sisters were intimidated by this task. The food and service was amazing, all of our guests raved about the staff. For example, one of our guests forgot to let us know about an allergy and her meal was quickly swapped out for what she needed and the team was happy to do so. We had many out of town guests and they appreciate the proximity of the hotel, reception venue, and ceremony to each other and the town of York, many of our families made a week or weekend out of the wedding and the location is very convenient and beautiful, right on Short Sands beach. We lucked out with the weather for our 9/21 wedding but this would be a great venue even on a rainy day. The bridal suite was great and was large enough to be comfortable for my 14! girls to get ready and have a team of hair and makeup stylists come in. It is also beautiful for photographs. We also utilized the hotel bar and grill for our afterparty where the staff was more than accommodating and everyone had a great time. Most vendors we worked with were very comfortable with this venue and staff at UB and this working relationship was helpful and we didn't have to worry about coordinating everything. We really can't say enough positive things about Darlene, the team at UB and the venue. We have absolutely no complaints. We would make this decision ten times out of ten. You won't regret it!

Honestly there are too many good things to say about this venue that I can't even write them. My wedding day was truly exactly what I wanted and perfect thanks to this beautiful venue and their wedding planner Darlene! Seriously Darlene takes care of everything!

Darlene had already gone above and beyond and made the room perfect! Any wedding disaster or if anything goes wrong Darlene is on it and fixes it before you can even freak out...Every bride needs that on her wedding day! My guests are raving over how beautiful the venue was inside and out and how great the food was! Sometimes wedding food isn't the best because it's cooked in bulk, but let me tell you our food was perfectly cooked! Guests said the filet minion was best they ever had, harvest stuffed chicken was nice and moist, and the butternut squash raviolis (vegetarian) were tasty! I could go on and on about this place.

I never felt like we were being pushed upsell items & they truly helped us navigate how to plan a wedding. Amy is always available through email, quickly responding to even the silliest questions I had. They were upfront about their costs & were very affordable - we did get married in the off season which helped this part. The wedding weekend was unreal. The attentiveness of Amy and her staff was something I had never seen before. Whatever we needed, we had it immediately keeping everyone’s nerves at ease. Amy made sure the flow of the night went smoothly for us and our guests. Always checking in on us & making sure we were doing okay throughout the night. The meetinghouse is a gorgeous venue & having the rooms above the ballroom was awesome. We had our own building & were able to hang with friends and family without worrying about disturbing the rest of the hotel. All of our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and what a great stay they had in the hotel. When I say Amy & Union Bluff are top notch, that’s even an understatement.

Getting married in southern Maine in December was a little scary but Amy helped us come up with a backup plan for the ceremony to be held there.

From our first meeting with Darlene her attention to detail was obvious and I was sold. From the day we signed our contract to the day after our wedding I felt so at ease knowing Darlene had everything covered even things I didn't think of . The communication we received was timely and clear, most times we e-mailed we had a response < 24 hours same with voicemail (in the rare case we didn't catch someone in the office). The venue itself was perfect! We had a fall wedding (Thanksgiving weekend). While I know this venue is a super popular summer venue, it was perfect for the fall. We had our ceremony on the lawn in a heated tent (it had snowed earlier in the week but had warmed up to 40) and we also had heaters on the patio for guests to enjoy throughout the cocktail hour and the reception. Our guests are still raving about the food! Everyone loved the food, but who wouldn't?! We love eating at Union Bluff tavern in the summer so we knew the food was going to be amazing! My father was so impressed at how perfectly the steaks were all cooked, because \"you never see a steak cooked this good at a wedding\" - his exact words. We look forward to sharing many more memories at Union Bluff and highly recommend it to anyone looking to get married in Maine!

We wish we could do it all over again- what a fabulous time! My only complaint, which has nothing to do with the Meeting House venue itself, is the hotel staff. They were incredibly rude from day 1 of booking hotel blocks. The day of the wedding they were rude to the hair and makeup team and were less than accommodating. I heard from several guests that they were also very rude upon checking in.

From the minute I walked into the ballroom to scope out the venue, Genna was so friendly and willing to show us around and answer all our questions. Considering I had dropped by unannounced, I was surprised by the warm welcome, as this is NOT the norm, as some of you may have already experienced visiting wedding venues. It really put me at ease. At the time, we were in the middle of lengthy negotiations/contracts with another popular venue in the area and I was feeling pretty anxious and deflated by the experience so far. Once I walked into the UB Meeting House, it just felt right. The staff was so friendly, and it just felt like a place where we could RELAX and have fun with our friends and family for this extremely important weekend in our lives. We scrapped our plans with the other venue immediately, and I am honestly so pleased with our decision to have our wedding at the UB Meeeting House. Mid-way through the planning process my husband got an international job offer and we relocated to the London. Genna didn't miss a beat, and we still managed to complete the planning process via email and phone as needed. Everything went so smoothly the day of the wedding. The food was incredible. The staff was amazing and so accommodating to our guests (many of whom were visiting from around the country and world -UK, Nigeria, India). We were able to customize the ballroom and the experience exactly to fit our vision. We were so pleased, my husband even joked during his little speech that night that someone should do a case study on these people. Their customer service is that good! We also loved the fact that for a Saturday night wedding you get(or are required to book) the 8 hotel room directly above the venue. It really made it feel like our space, and it was so convenient to be able to pop up to my room to bustle the dress, change shoes etc that night of the wedding. It was also great for the next day, as we also hosted a wedding brunch the next morning in the ballroom. This was awesome for guests to enjoy the view of the water and spend a little more time in the area together. Again, the UB team did not disappoint with the friendly service and delicious food!TLDR: If you are thinking about having your wedding here, don't think about it anymore...just book that date!!!!

They have tons of in-house decorations that they let couples use which is also super helpful!If you're getting married on a Sunday be aware that moving rooms can be a bit stressful! We stayed in the main hotel on the Saturday night before our wedding and switched to the bridal suite for Sunday as the Sunday wedding can't have the bridal suite on Saturday nights. But, the Sunday minimums are VERY reasonable (as are plate prices) so it's totally worth it for brides on a budget.My one complaint would be the hotel staff wasn't super pleasant and a few guests said certain ones were rude.

We splurged and did the platinum package which included cake dj valet and so much more......we adored every single vendor Amy recommended. I cannot rave enough about this woman. Throughout the engagement my husband and I bought a home had a child and I transitioned from city event coordinator to a stay at home mom.

From the location, to the staff, accommodations, and special additions it was the perfect place for our wedding! The ceremony site on the lawn with the beach in the background was breathtaking. We even had a whole beach full of people cheering for us which was pretty cool! The ball room was perfect for the reception and the patio was a huge hit for our guests! Darlene our coordinating was outstanding. She went above and beyond to make our day perfect! We did a lot of different/non-traditional things in our wedding and the Union Bluff was so accommodating to that! The food was phenomenal, I suggest family style! We did a S'mores station instead of a cake and we even got to toast marshmallows and feed them to each other in place of cake cutting. We also had a cotton candy machine on the patio that the kids absolutely loved! They even got to make their own! All in all, The Union Bluff was the perfect location for our wedding, we 100% recommend them for anyone looking for a beautiful beach wedding in Maine! Reviewed on 15-08-2017
Isabel Iuliano(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-08-2017 We had our wedding at the Union Bluff Meeting House on 8/5/17 and we couldn’t have been happier. It truly was a magical day. Our coordinator Genna Perry was absolutely amazing. She was organized, helpful, calm and friendly. Everything you want in a wedding coordinator. Our ceremony was under a tent on the lawn and it was wonderful exchanging vows with the waves in the background. They were calling for rain and thunderstorms but they passed and it ended up being perfect weather. I got all the pictures I wanted on the cliffs and the beach. The ballroom was decorated beautifully and the food was incredible. I had the haddock with lobster sauce and my husband did the filet. Both delicious! We also did the sendoff brunch which Amy did a great job helping with. Everyone was raving about what a blast they had at our wedding. I recommend the Union Bluff Meeting House for your wedding. They do a fabulous job and it’s a great value for being right on the beach! Reviewed on 14-08-2017

Alissa Clancy(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-07-2017 My husband and I were married July 16,2017 at the Union Bluff Meeting House. Our day was spectacular- from the weather, the ceremony, and the reception. It all went perfect! This is thanks to a Darlene and staff who make sure you are taken care of from the moment planning begins. I worked with Darlene through the entirety of my wedding planning. She was always there when you had a question and would keep you up to date and on track for where you should be with your wedding plans. She is wonderful at what she does and takes great pride in it. There aren't enough great things I can say about Darlene and her staff. Through out the day of our wedding she was there checking in on you, making sure you ate and drank water, that you were on time, and what to expect for the ceremony. At the reception, she put my shoes under my chair so I had them when I entered the room, ensured I had time to sit down and eat, and walked you through the reception until it was time for you to have fun!The Union Bluff Meeting House is a truly spectacular venue with even more wonderful professionals there to make your wedding day the best it can be ❤️ Reviewed on 07-08-2017

The venue is amazing- we were married in front of the ocean on the lawn, had a fabulous cocktail hour outside on the patio, and so much fun during the reception inside. It is such a beautiful, classy, and comfortable venue! Genna coordinated our wedding from start to finish, and we couldn't have asked for someone more attentive, calm, and caring about making sure our day was perfect! She handled everything from recommending vendors, to preparing the timelines and decorating the space, to helping me when I ripped my dress- she was absolutely amazing and we can't thank her enough! Amy did a fabulous job with our wedding and breakfast too, she was so friendly, helpful, and accommodating to us! We also can't thank Evan enough, he took great care of transporting my grandmother from the ceremony to the reception so she wouldn't have to walk far, and we greatly appreciated his help!

Molly Goodwin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-07-2016 We got married at the Union Bluff Hotel last July and had a wonderful experience. They were very accommodating. We loved the Meeting House rooms (although they were quite pricey!) and being able to be all together on the top floor. Darlene was awesome - just was professional, organized, and on top of everything as everyone said she was. I didn’t realize exactly how helpful it was to have her until the wedding was over - everything was seamless and she kept us right on time for everything!! (I’ve been to other weddings that have been far less organized, so I appreciate her a whole lot more now!) Darlene did an amazing job communicating with the other vendors, getting everything in place, and checking on us to make sure everything was going ok. She even showed me some pictures of how things were set up downstairs before the wedding to ease my jittery bride mind on the big day! (She also mailed my new husband's dance shoes to him when he accidentally left them behind!!!)Overall, we had a great experience and were very happy we chose the Union Bluff Hotel for our wedding venue. :) Reviewed on 24-07-2017

We got married on 4/29/17 which just so happened to be 80 degrees and sunny that day. Working with Darlene Yankura and team from the beginning was easy and stress-free. Darlene and the staff at the Meeting House go above and beyond to make sure you have the most perfect day. As an example, my husband had discovered an hour before our first look photos, he had left his dress shirt at home. As panic was setting in for him, Darlene and Amy came to rescue without hesitation. Amy then drove to Brooks Brothers in Kittery, Maine to buy a replacement white dress shirt and was back just in time for photos. I had no idea this had happened until the next day when they told me! Our guests raved about the food! We had 4 dinner options and each one was equally as delicious. Our guests also said the champagne (from the toast) was some of the best champagne they have ever had. The bar had extremely accommodating and pleasant bartenders and a great variety of liquor and beer. Due to the beautiful weather we had, our guests took full advantage of the outdoor patio and were able to watch the sunset. The view is just awesome!We had an after party following the reception at the Union Grill with plenty of late night snacks. Darlene and the staff packed up everything for us at the reception and brought it up to our room so we could continue enjoying our night.

The outdoor ceremony location is gorgeous (as in the inside of the venue if you're caught in the rain). The patio for cocktail hour is lovely. The reception room is beautiful, from the bathrooms to the Chiavari chairs. The food is fantastic - particularly the seafood stuffed haddock! The location of the venue is in the perfect spot for out-of-town guests to explore and walk on the beach. On the day of our wedding our coordinator, Genna, was on top of the details and made sure everything went smoothly! A few things I would tell others looking to get married at the Union Bluff:- The pre-wedding tasting party is so much fun! We brought our parents and made a night of it. Definitely one of the highlights of the planning process.- All the venue staff are absolutely amazing! They are helpful, efficient, professional, and so nice. They took care of everything!- Ask in advance for the list of questions you will be asked at the 6-month meeting. This will help you better plan for the meeting and will get you thinking about things you wouldn't otherwise (i.e. how do you want your napkins folded? What time is your photographer arriving? etc. etc. etc.) I wish we had had more guidance on this so our meeting was more productive.- Don't order the cotton candy champagne for the formal toasts. We loved the passed cotton candy champagne at our tasting, so we ordered it for the toasts at our reception. However, by the time we were introduced and sat down at our table, the cotton candy in all the glasses had dissolved. If I had a do-over, I would have cotton candy champagne passed around during cocktail hour instead.- The ice cream sundae bar is AWESOME! We received so many compliments on this.We loved having our wedding at the Union Bluff and are so thankful to all of the staff for helping to make it such a wonderful day! Reviewed on 28-12-2016

The front desk staff is cold and make you feel like they are doing you a huge favor by letting you stay there. The rooms are nice, some more spacious than others. The rooms in the meeting house are especially nice. The location is undeniably perfect, but it seems the staff falls back on that and has decided people will stay there no matter their lack of hospitality. This can only last for so long.

For such an excellent venue, their rates are very reasonable compared to what else is out there. We looked at other venues comparable to (or even not as nice as!) the Union Bluff in the coastal southern Maine area, and this place is the best value by far. \r\rOur coordinator, Carrie Anne, was very organized, professional and easy to work with, especially since we planned our wedding from five states away. She was easy to get a hold of by email and great about answering all my questions. Everything went so smoothly on the wedding day. The whole staff here operates like a well-oiled machine! The ocean view from the lawn where we had our ceremony is absolutely stunning, and the Meeting House ballroom is very classy -- both exactly what my husband and I were looking for. York Beach is such a cute little spot that made a great weekend getaway for our out-of-town guests, and the Union Bluff is right at the center of it. \r\rThe one (very minor) imperfection: We had a candy buffet with bags for guests to take home as our favor. The bags had stickers on them with our name and the date, and they put my maiden name rather than my husband's last name, and spelled his first name wrong. But really this was such an inconsequential detail that we had to just laugh at, especially since everything else turned out perfect, and just how we'd planned! Reviewed on 24-11-2015
