Beauport Hotel Gloucester

ifully executed. Jacey and the entire Beauport team handled the day-of coordination, catering, and setup flawlessly, making the entire process completely stress-free. On the wedding day, every detail came together perfectly. The staff was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day special. The food was incredible, the space was stunning, and everything ran so smoothly that we were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We are so grateful to Jacey and the Beauport team for creating such an unforgettable experience. We truly could not have imagined a more perfect reception venue and highly recommend Beauport to any couple looking for exceptional service and a beautiful waterfront setting!

ortantly they know what they're doing. Our coordinator, Melissa, met with us twice leading up to the wedding. We live in South Carolina so we met virtually and she was very flexible with us. She helped me feel at ease with the planning process since we did not have a planner (and truly didn't need one with all that she helped with). The day of, all of the bridesmaids/moms were able to get ready in the bridal suite (there were 11 of us total). It was so great to be able to wake up and get ready on site. We catered breakfast to the suite which I highly recommend. We had our ceremony on site and it was perfect. Since it was April in MA (unpredictable) we were able to make a day of decision on whether it would be indoors or outdoors. It was a chilly day but they had heaters so we opted for outdoors. Melissa was there to make sure that I had my veil (I forgot it in the room) and put it on properly for me. She even helped me bustle and un-bustle my dress multiple times for pictures etc. She went above and beyond to give us the perfect day. If anything went wrong we surely don't know about it because she was so organized and kept us on timeline. The food was absolutely incredible. I don't have enough good things to say about this venue and their team other than book it!!!

he ocean views were absolutely stunning. We were even able to take photos on the deck, which made the day feel even more magical. From our very first tour, I knew our wedding would run smoothly and effortlessly at Beauport. A huge part of that was our incredible venue coordinator, Mindy. Mindy was highly communicative and supportive throughout the entire planning process. She truly listened to what mattered to us—she even worked with the kitchen to include a special chicken dish on the menu to accommodate my picky-eater tendencies! Every detail of the vision I had for the day came to life because of her care and attention. During the event itself, Mindy checked on us and our parents multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed, which helped us all feel completely at ease. The entire Beauport staff was professional, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive. From the champagne and chocolates waiting in our hotel room to Mindy personally making sure my veil made it back to our room at the end of the night, we felt so cared for and celebrated all weekend long. I truly can’t imagine a more beautiful place to get married or a better team to make it happen.

ions. As the wedding got closer, Melissa was assigned as our coordinator and she is phenomenal! She is clearly an expert at what she does. As I would tell her the things I wanted to make our wedding special she had the perfect ideas for how to make it all come to life. The day of the wedding she perfectly organized our bridal party so that everyone knew what they were supposed to be doing and when. She truly put everyone at ease. She was there to clean the sand off my dress after beach photos, she got a makeup stain out of a groomsmen’s suit, and she jumped right in to help bustle my dress so I could get right out to cocktail hour. Melissa silently made sure that my husband and I always had everything we needed throughout the day. The next day Melissa had all of our stuff including my veil, wedding dress, cake, and decor perfectly organized and ready for us to take. If anything didn’t go exactly as planned, we truly had no idea because everything ran so smoothly and seamlessly. Beyond that, the food at our wedding was delicious, my husband and I loved it, and our guest are still raving about it. The bar service was quick and efficient. We were also lucky enough to have perfect summer weather, which allowed us to get married outside on the deck overlooking the ocean. The setting was absolutely stunning and made our day feel even more special. We are beyond grateful to the Beauport team for making our wedding day flawless and unforgettable, and we would highly recommend this venue to any couple!

s for our wedding: Christmas decor (the hotel's is incredible!), the ocean view, and a hotel option for our guests. While those factors convinced us to book the venue , the people of the Beauport are what made the day beyond perfect. ). I was planning for this wedding for two years and went back continuously for different things, and the entire staff knew my name, asking how the planning was going and how I was. From the front desk, waiters, valets, event staff, cleaners, and everyone else we encountered, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. One person stands out. This wedding would not have happened without Melissa Nolet. I met her at the food tasting, and she presented herself so warmly and professionally that I knew she was the planner I wanted. Every need and question she answered within a day or two. I wanted a customized meal; she made it happen. I wanted four dances; she organized the reception to prioritize that. I wanted a completely cozy Christmas wedding, and she introduced a pho fireplace and helped us brainstorm how we could bring the decor into the venue space. She calmed my nerves the week of the wedding, responding to concerns (literally 5 paragraphs on a Tuesday night) to ensure I replaced those nerves with excitement. The weekend of the wedding the hotel was buzzing, Christmas music was softly playing, and the most stunning decor was up. We got our welcome bags at check-in with no issues, and thoughtful gifts were placed in our rooms to welcome us, my parents, and his. The day of the wedding, Melissa saw me leaving the venue for the church, and I honestly cried because she was so happy to see ME. When we got back, she was always in my preferal for the entire day. She ensured every picture was taken on my 3-page list; she organized a wedding group of 24 with ease and professionalism. Every question had an answer. There were no hiccups, no stress, and no timing issues. She was considerate of the entire wedding party and provided us with food in the bridal room with all of our things (the appetizers were to die for; I ate so much before the meal). After running across the beach, she was on her hands and knees, carefully wiping seaweed and sand off my dress (we even found a sea urchin lol). When the reception began, she tucked away my veil and shawl safely with our things. I didn't even realize I didn't have those things until I saw them nearly folded in our decor pick-up bin. She ensured I had a drink all evening, guided to where I needed to be, and I kept hugging her and looking at her like "This is the perfect night, how is this so perfect?!" The food was spectacular, and the bar was fast and efficient with drinks. The shortcake bar was fantastic as well. No one was rudely dismissed when it ended. We were slowly guided out to the lobby. Her job was really done. Yet, in the lobby of the Beauport, my uncle asked me for a dance and obliged. She came up behind me and said, "Just keep dancing, lovely, pretend I'm not here," and PINNED my hair back for me before wishing me well for the evening. So yes. Go to the Beauport for the venue and the staff. Hire the planner that cares about YOU and ends the night pinning up your hair, as you dance around the lobby in your sparkly wedding dress. I am forever grateful to this establishment.

ess all the way through the big day itself. Our event manager Melissa was an absolute joy to work with, helping us craft a timeline to match our priorities for the big day, answering all of our questions in (and between) our planning meetings, and making us feel comfortable and taken care of on wedding day with her professionalism, poise, and kindness. She even helped prepare our young ring bearer and flower girls for their walk down the aisle so that their parents and grandparents could focus on their own duties! Melissa and the rest of the event staff were clearly knowledgeable and experienced, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch so that Daniel and I were able to relax and enjoy our big day. The beautiful location and ability to stay at the venue the night before and of the wedding was a huge plus for us and our wedding day VIPs. Everyone who stayed at the Beauport for the wedding mentioned how generous and helpful the hotel staff were during their stay (chocolates and wine for us and our wedding party was a generous touch!) Both the outdoor and indoor spaces at the Beauport are beautiful, and our guests raved about the quality of the food and signature cocktails. We can’t express enough how pleased we were with our venue choice, and we’re excited to dine and stay at the Beauport to celebrate anniversaries or just have a fun weekend away!

oordinator Melissa delivered a spectacular experience. She handled every detail with flawless professionalism and always went the extra mile, checking in throughout the planning process and on the wedding day itself. The venue is stunning, and our guests are still raving about the food. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled by how many delicious options were available for me too. We would recommend Beauport to absolutely everyone, and we already can’t wait to come back for our anniversary! A huge thank you to Melissa and the entire team for giving us the most magical and memorable wedding weekend! 💖

nce of our lives. We saw so many venues at the start of planning and the Beauport was the only one that made a lasting impression. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to host our wedding there. It was so stunning, beautiful and perfect. We were truly proud to invite our friends and family to such a breathtaking place. The food was absolutely to die for, the waitstaff and hotel staff were so sweet, and our coordinator Jacey was attentive in the months leading up to our event. We did have some critiques. The communication with our coordinator was not 100% on the day of our wedding. There were small things here and there, but the biggest one was that a row was meant to be reserved for our bridesmaids, groomsmen and flower girl, but it was not so they ended up having to stand up with us. We discussed this many times during planning, and emphasized the importance of only having our man of honor and our best man standing up with us. There was no apology for this pretty considerable error until I brought it up myself a week after the wedding. The other critique was that my parents were in city facing rooms and had a very hard time sleeping due to excessive noise from the street. Other people in the room block had much better rooms which we felt should have been given to our parents. Other than that, everything was amazing. It was truly so special and we will never ever forget it. We couldn't be more grateful to have had the most perfect sunny day on the water in Gloucester, a place that has been special to my heart since I was a kid. Thank you Beauport Hotel! We will never ever forget our wedding day.

and truly a destination. Both the hotel staff and event staff are everything you would want and more to handle your special day. We worked with Melissa - both her and her team were amazing and easy to work with from day one. The prep was easy and the actual weekend went so smoothly! Everything was handled so professionally and so many of our guests commented on how nicely everything was taken care of from Melissa and her team. The deck is ideal for the ceremony but their inside options are equally as nice and still capture the essence of the coastal feel. The food is amazing! So many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they ever had. They work well with your outside vendors and make everything easy and enjoyable for the couple. 5 stars all around!

ond our expectations especially the day of. From bustling my dress to keeping us stress free, fed, and even our 2 year old happy we can’t thank her enough. She is truly an asset to BHG. The food was incredible everyone still raves about it. The service in all parts of the hotel were impeccable. Everything was seamless & we are so confident we chose the best venue we could have imagined.

ckdrop, whether it was the ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception. It was also so easy for our guests to stay there and then just walk downstairs to the ceremony and reception. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about it since! And the food! We’re still getting messages from friends and family saying the food was delicious! What made the experience even better was how smoothly everything ran. Melissa was our wedding coordinator and she was so on top of everything. She made our day feel effortless and allowed us to just enjoy every moment. We feel so lucky to have found this gem. It exceeded every expectation and gave us memories that will last a lifetime. Highly, highly recommend!

ng, location and immaculate vibes, the staff and service was top notch. We had Melissa as our coordinator and she was professional, organized, timely and ensured everything went smoothly. Melissa was able to guide us every step of the way, offering advice and ideas that ended up making everything come together seamlessly. In addition to the event staff, every worker at the Beauport treated us special. We would be in the elevator going up to our room throughout our whole stay and staff members would ask how our stay was and if we needed anything. The food was also incredible. Everyone raved about how good the food was and how much there was. We are foodies so this was super important to us! Everything came together like a dream. I would highly recommend the Beauport to anyone!

ial day. Every corner of the hotel, from the elegant event spaces to the serene outdoor areas, was exactly what we had dreamed of. Working with Melissa and Loriann was such a joy. They were incredibly attentive and helped bring our vision to life with their thoughtful guidance and expertise. Their professionalism and attention to detail made our planning experience so smooth and enjoyable. They did a great job coordinating with all of our vendors and ensuring all of the details of our big day came together! The food was also exceptional! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting, and we are so grateful to the Beauport team for making our wedding day so memorable.

ew the answers to all of our questions, helping to relieve a lot of the wedding planning stress. She was quick to respond to emails and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy during planning as well as during our wedding! We had received numerous compliments from our guests regarding the passed hors d'oeuvres and plated dinner choices and on how beautiful the hotel is as a whole! We are excited to celebrate our wedding anniversaries at Beauport Hotel over the years and reflect on our special day each time we visit. Highly highly recommend this hotel for your Gloucester stay and if you are considering it as your wedding venue!!

r amazing vendors). The Beauport was the first and only venue we toured. We knew immediately that it was where we wanted to get married! With the stunning beach views, the beautiful ballroom, the amazing rooftop deck, etc. Our initial tour was with Melissa who was BEYOND knowledgeable and helpful to us. Our wedding coordinator was changed on us only a few weeks prior to our wedding as our original coordinator left the Beauport. We were initially worried about the change so close to our wedding, but our coordinator Mindy was amazing!! She was SO HELPFUL leading up to our day and especially helpful on our actual day. She did not miss a beat. She kept us all on track (even with most of the boys being easily distracted!). She stayed with us all night and made sure that we got enough food and always had a drink in our hands (if we wanted it!). I can’t give the Beauport and Mindy enough praise. You will be extremely lucky to get her as your coordinator! The food was amazing, the venue was gorgeous and ALL of the staff were so kind. I don't have anything negative to say! We truly could not have asked for a more perfect day and we have the Beauport staff to thank for it all!

am was so responsive from the moment we toured the venue! They answered our emails so quickly and addressed any questions/concerns along the way. We worked primarily with Amanda who was our wedding coordinator on the day of the wedding and she made sure everything ran smoothly during the day! It ended up raining on the day of our wedding, but Amanda calmed my nerves and walked through our indoor space options for the ceremony to ensure the day was perfect for us! This venue has everything you could ask for: amazing views (outdoor and indoor), wonderful and friendly staff, delicious food, professionalism, and responsiveness. You can 100% trust them to do their job on the wedding day which helped decrease our stress so we could just have fun and enjoy! Such an amazing venue and I highly recommend booking them if you're considering getting married here!!

he perfect spot for photos under the deck! Everything ran smoothly, and Melissa not only set everything up but kept all of the family and wedding party on track throughout the day. Everyone raved about the food and the hotel, we are so glad we chose it!

l thank you to Melissa, who coordinated every detail with such care and professionalism. She ensured everything stayed on schedule, making the whole experience stress-free for us. The venue itself is stunning, with breathtaking views of the ocean and a beautiful atmosphere that created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The staff was attentive and friendly, and every aspect of the day exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a more memorable wedding. Highly recommend Beauport Hotel to any couple looking for a flawless celebration!

r. All my guests are still raving about the hotel. Melissa Nolet was our events coordinator and was an absolute superstar. She thought of everything and made the day perfect and relaxing for me. I can’t thank her enough!

p our decor to perfection, and just made the whole process seamless. They offered a generous discount as we got married in off season, so we were able to host 111 of our friends and an affordable cost. We have received so many notes that the food was the best they have ever had at wedding. Not to mention the venue is beautiful - don’t have to do much to make the ambiance a dream. Not to mention the sunsets - do yourself a favor and get married at the Beauport Hotel!

ort on the coldest day of 2023 when looking for venues, and despite the freezing weather, we knew almost instantly during our tour this would be where we would have our wedding. Our biggest wish was to have a wedding that felt unique and authentic to us, and that's exactly what we experienced. When we met with Amanda and communicated that we hoped to have a day full of love and celebration not just about us, but also our friends and family who have supported our relationship through the years, she helped our vision come to life. From answering our sporadic emails instantly in the weeks leading up to our wedding, to giving me the kindest reminder of how much we deserved this day before I walked down the aisle, and even getting me my own individual bowl of my favorite hors d'oeuvre during cocktail hour, we felt so taken care of, seen, and like true collaborators with Amanda. Our guests also enthusiastically praised the entire staff, bartenders, check-in, waitstaff - they’re all ready to return for a weekend away themselves. Also of course a quick shout out to the bartenders at the lobby bar who took care of us and our guests after our reception into the late night! And if you're on the fence about late night chinese food? Take it from us, your guests will rave about it every single time they see you after your wedding. Thank you to everyone at The Beauport for everything, we can't wait to celebrate our anniversary there in the future! Photos: Erin Wholley Photography

planning process. I trusted her expertise and all of her advice was spot on. I will never forget how hard she worked to take care of us on the day of our wedding. She took care of all the day of details and made it so easy for us to be in the moment and just enjoy our big day. My husband and I were stress free the whole day because of her and the Beauport Weddings Team. I still cannot get over how beautiful and fun our reception was, and my guests absolutely loved everything from the beautiful deck to the delicious food. I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else!!

us during our special stay! Special shout out to Amanda, our coordinator, who helped facilitate and organize our perfect wedding day! She was detail oriented, an amazing listener and her one passion was to ensure we had a smooth, perfect wedding day! She was attentive and communicative throughout the entire process from the day we got assigned to her! She went above and beyond for us and our day wouldn’t have been nearly as perfect without her help! We can’t recommend Beauport enough! We are so excited to vacation there for every anniversary to come!! Photos: Cadence of Grace
