SNI was the perfect location for our coastal wedding! Large enough to host over 100 guests yet intimate enough to feel right at home lots of recent renovations and the view speaks for itself. Great location walking distance to the beach lots to do in the area. Dawn was awesome to work with always very responsive to any type of question we threw at her and she was with us the entire day of the wedding to ensure everything went smoothly. The food was excellent and the staff were so accommodating and helpful we couldn't imagine having our celebration anywhere else and look forward to going back for years to come !
Stage Neck Inn is a hidden gem. We had the most amazing wedding here! It is perfectly located about an hour north of Boston and about 15 minutes from Portsmouth, NH - so easy to get to. It is a one stop shop for getting ready, ceremony (with INCREDIBLE views), cocktail hour, reception AND after party. It is on its own peninsula with breathtaking views of the coast. Dawn, the wedding coordinator, was a great resource throughout the planning process and day of the event. She is pretty quick to respond to all of my (many) questions and pretty straight forward. The venue has a package pricing that includes food, DJ (sometimes), Cake and tax/tip - again, very straight forward. We were given plenty of time the morning of to set up and get everything ready. The food was so delicious. Our guests had a lot of positive things to say about the apps and their meal. There was a good amount of options to choose from for the main course, and they easily accommodated all food allergies/preferences.
I HIGHLY recommend the Stage Neck Inn for your wedding. Thank you, Dawn!!
Dawn and Scott and the team at Stage Neck Inn are incredible. They are professional, they're knowledgeable, and so so kind. Everyone was thoughtful. Scott made sure that our gifts / card boxes were taken care of so they weren't left out and Dawn, is a magician. Having the pleasure to plan our wedding with her was a gift. She was so attentive, answered every single question, and made sure we were laughing even in the stressful times. In addition to the incredible team at the Stage Neck, the views and the venue itself are one of a kind. We feel lucky to have had the opportunity to get married there!
Any questions?
Went in to inquire about a wedding and the women in charge of weddings was SO rude. I can’t imagine working with her to plan a wedding - dodged a bullet.
I am writing this review because I was truly shocked at how bad their service was when I was inquiring for my wedding. I asked someone to call me so we could discuss pricing further and the woman who called (Dawn) seemed annoyed to be dealing with my questions--which I thought were pretty basic as the pricing on the website was not detailed at all. This is supposed to be the happiest time of our lives and the way she treated me was truly disheartening. I would not recommend someone work in this industry if they are not good with ppl/friendly. I would take my business elsewhere.
Exceptional food , service and gorgeous setting! My daughter was married 9/17/2022 on the lawn overlooking the ocean on a beautiful day and the guests raved about the food , wait staff and the beautiful property. Guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to . Just perfect!
My husband and I had a wonderful time at Stage Neck Inn! Of all the venues we toured, Stage Neck was the most beautiful and accomodating of them all. The ocean views cannot be beat, the beach right next to the inn made for the most incredible backdrop (and hello gorgeous pictures at sunset!), and Dawn (coordinator) made planning easy and simple. If you are looking for a Maine wedding, I cannot recommend Stage Neck more.
We can’t even express how much we loved the Stage Neck Inn and Dawn!! The Stage Neck Inn is such a beautiful place for a ceremony and reception. We had our ceremony out on the back lawn and we had perfect weather. Wedding planning can be stressful at times but Dawn helped make the whole process seamless. She was always available to answer any questions we had leading up to the wedding. The day of the wedding I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Dawn arranged every part of the day and made sure everything went as planned. We loved that our wedding party, family and guests could book rooms and stay right at the venue. We really can’t thank Dawn enough for making our day so perfect.
We got married on 1/14/22 and couldn't have asked for a better day! Dawn and the rest of the Stage Neck Inn crew were amazing to work with. If you are considered getting married at the SNI, you will not regret it!
After covid impacted our original wedding plans of getting married abroad, we only had 4 months to plan an entirely new wedding in the US. Along came Dawn to our rescue who made us feel totally confident that the Stage Neck Inn was the perfect venue for us as soon as we toured it. Dawn was a true delight to work with and made sure we stayed on track throughout our tight deadline. Everyone at the SNI was incredibly helpful and professional the day of our wedding. Our guests raved about the food and the bartender! While covid may have changed our original wedding plans, getting married at the SNI was better than we could have ever imagined. The location is truly beautiful, the staff is superb, and you will feel like the main priority of the entire inn on your wedding day. Thanks again to Dawn and the entire team at the Stage Neck Inn!
Dawn was an amazing wedding coordinator. She was so accommodating, professional and fun! The venue was beautiful. There were no hiccups during the ceremony or reception. I couldn’t have asked for a better venue or wedding day! I highly recommend!
This venue was absolutely breath taking! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Dawn is the most out going and friendly wedding coordinator and made sure everything went smoothly. There was literally nothing to complain about - everything was perfect. The entire staff was friendly and so accommodating. We will be making The Stage Neck a new yearly vacation spot!
The Stage Neck Inn was the perfect place for our summer wedding. The ocean views are unmatched in Maine, you could not ask for a better backdrop for a wedding ceremony! The staff were so professional and accommodating, and thanks to them our wedding day was so smooth and completely stress-free. Special shout-out to Dawn, Stage Neck’s wedding coordinator, for being the BEST to work with throughout the entire process.
This venue is absolutely amazing!!!! We fell in love the second we walked on site. We got married at Stage Neck Inn this year during the middle of the COVID pandemic. I cannot say enough amazing things about Dawn, the wedding coordinator. She is absolutely incredible, was so responsive, and so accommodating to the different COVID guidelines. Our guests complimented how gorgeous the venue was, how good the food was, and how safe they felt during this time. Best decision ever having our wedding here!
Due to COVID-19 we ended up having not one but two amazing weddings at Stage Neck Inn!. Dawn went above and beyond to accommodate us and help us have two dream weddings. I can’t say enough good things about this place 🤍
Where do I begin??
The Stage Neck Inn and our coordinator, Dawn, made our wedding so memorable and amazing! We are from out of state, so we needed a venue that had a great package. We chose to have our wedding on a Friday so we could take advantage of the included DJ and Cake deal. Do not pass this up! Ceremony, reception, food, DJ, and desserts all covered by the Stage Neck! Everything was top notch and our guests raved about everything all night. If you want something with an AMAZING view, then look no further. We are still receiving messages from our guests about how beautiful and fun our wedding was. I cannot thank Dawn and her team enough for making our day so special!
Stage Neck Inn's wedding coordinator, Dawn Whittemore, gets all the stars!!! She is professional, down to earth, responsive, and kind. We had the perfect day because of her and the outstanding team at Stage Neck Inn.
The Inn was truly the most beautiful venue for all of our wedding events. Our guests couldn't compliment the place enough. They didn't have to travel between any different locations or ride in cramped school buses. The reception room, Harborview Room, fit our 80 guests PERFECTLY. The room felt full while still having plenty of room to dance and mingle. The pool, sauna, and hot tubs were also a huge plus.
The Inn's restaurant, Shearwater, had the BEST breakfast (and it's included in the room rate!!!). It was a complete buffet with many options. The restaurant is flanked with water views on 3 sides! Can't say enough about Shearwater. The chef does a great job.
Booking our wedding at Stage Neck Inn was the BEST decision that we made planning our wedding day. I only wish that we had arrived 1 day earlier to enjoy the Inn more. You won't regret it.
Dawn our wedding coordinator who works at the Stage Neck Inn was a true professional. She is really accommodating and very calm. She hit it out of the park on the day of the wedding. She decorated the whole place with all of the items I brought, made sure that my husband and I had food from the cocktail hour (otherwise we would have missed the delicious food), and even got me band aids for my feet. She was a pleasure and the venue was gorgeous even in November. The inside of the inn is lovely and welcoming and the views are beyond compare. Loved having my wedding here and would not change a thing. Also the food was great and the rooms are spectacular!!
Gorgeous venue with an incredible view! Dawn was awesome to work with and answered our many questions promptly. She made sure the day of ran really smoothly. All of the staff was wonderful. I just want to relive this day! Thank you Stage Neck Inn and Dawn for the most perfect wedding!
We got married at Stage Neck in May 2019. As with any wedding there was stress and joy with the build up and the actual event. First, the stage neck venue is absolutely gorgeous. They are open to your creativity and making the day your own. It is set on the edge of their cape, you have ocean to three sides. Our marriage was in the early evening and the view was spectacular. Dawn was awesome and responsive. She is clearly a pro who kept calm and answered all our questions, even the most picky ones. We stayed at the Inn with our families in the days leading up to the wedding which was also great because we were able to have quality time there. You don’t have to leave the Inn for much!
The Stage Neck absolutely helped us have an incredible wedding and overall experience. If you want a wedding in York and at the beach, there should be no other place to visit besides The Stage Neck. It was our first visit and we didn't need to visit another venue. The packages are incredibly convenient, including vendors for DJ and cake ( a huge weight off the mind, and the vendors are fantastic). DJ Fred knows his stuff and got compliments all night for his music picks and atmosphere. Maryann made a gorgeous and delicious cake and was so patient and welcoming while meeting and listening to what we were looking for.
The facility is stunning. It feels exclusive to your wedding. The ceremony setting is incredible. We saw it in January and were impressed. By summer, the view was unbelievable. So many of our guests remarked at how beautiful their surroundings were. They have a great space for a cocktail hour and inside was a great fit for our numbers. The food was tremendous, especially the appetizers, and our guests had nothing but great things to say about their meals.
The absolute BEST part of our experience was working with Dawn. From the beginning, Dawn was receptive and knowledgeable. She seemed to quickly get our personalities and her suggestions and advice were spot on for parts of the process we had not even considered or would have been lost on. Day of, Dawn was calm, supportive, and a perfect help. We felt total trust with her running the show. She truly helped us feel not an ounce of stress leading up to our big day.
We plan to make The Stage Neck our go to getaway for years to come because of our positive and unforgettable experience.
Stage Neck Inn, particularly Dawn (the wedding coordinator), made our wedding on June 2, 2019 fantastic! The location is gorgeous, with a nearby private beach we were able to get great pictures. The food is excellent, as portions are huge and flavors were delicious. The staff was wonderful, as they were helpful -- like when they spotted a rainbow outside and ran to get us for an impromptu photo opportunity. Finally, Dawn works with you every step of the way and accommodates you with every need, which is fantastic. We needed a TV to feature a slide show, so they got us a TV. We wanted craft beers so they ordered us craft beers they did not normally carry. We wanted a special dish for appetizers not offered on the menu then Dawn coordinated to make sure the chef was able to make that dish and served it. They really make sure it is your day. All of our guests raved about the location and the food. They also appreciated the quick service from all waitstaff and the bartender. The reception area was recently renovated and featured even more floor to ceiling windows, which framed the lovely views of York Harbor Beach (even when it was raining outside!) Our wedding day involved all kinds of Maine weather, but Dawn and her team waited until the very last minute to set up the ceremony space outside as the rain stopped and the fog cleared in time for our ceremony. Dawn made sure that my husband and I and our bridal party were served passed appetizers during photos, and checked in on all of our vendors. Everything went so smoothly the day of our wedding, and we have Dawn and her team to thank. Our wedding was like a fairy-tale at the Stage Neck Inn!
We were so happy that we chose the Stage Neck Inn for our wedding in May!!!! Everything was perfect. The view is beautiful, the food was delicious, and we loved Dawn, the wedding coordinator. Dawn is the best - she is professional, fun to work with, responsive, flexible, and pays attention to detail. Dawn coordinated with our other vendors and helped make the weekend stress free. There were no hidden costs or surprises, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. Thank you Dawn and the whole Stage Neck Inn team! We are so glad we are local so we can come back and visit often.
I couldn’t think of a more beautiful and scenic location to get married! There were views of the ocean, river, and harbor during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Dawn made the planning go very smoothly. She responded quickly to emails and answered all my questions. During the day itself, I could tell she was working on coordinating everything behind the scenes so that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Perfect venue and perfect coordinator!!
Our wedding at the Stage Neck Inn was absolutely perfect! The beautiful, peaceful location sets a perfect vibe for a relaxed and fun time! The Inn has a very classy feel without being stuffy.
Dawn (the wedding coordinator) was so helpful and easy to work with. She always got back to us in a timely manner to answer questions that arose and her even temperament helped make the planning stress free. The day of the wedding Dawn and her staff set everything up perfectly!
They really made our vision come to life, I couldn't have done it better myself! It was so nice to relax and get ready the day of and not have to worry about the details of the ceremony and reception as I knew Dawn had it all under control.
During the ceremony and reception, Dawn was so good at directing everyone where they needed to go and helping the whole event run smoothly. Everything went just how it was supposed to!
The Stage Neck Inn exceeded our expectations with the food! Everything came out fast and was cooked to perfection. The dinners were so nicely plated and full of flavor. Everyone is still raving about how great the food was! Best food at a wedding ever!!
We highly recommend the Stage Neck Inn for a wedding venue as they exceeded our expectations in all areas!
We can't wait to go back to celebrate our anniversary. Though we'll probably be back much sooner just because we love the place so much!
Beautiful wedding and laid back venue with a very accommodating staff. Recommend renting the cottage on site for up to 16 people, just terrible internet service our only minor issue.
Had the wedding of my dreams here end of September. The views sold us 100%. The ceremony overlooked the ocean and a point, cocktail hour overlooked a beach, and the reception hall overlooked the beach and harbor. Dawn the wedding coordinator was prompt answering all my questions, and her staff put all my decorations together exactly how I requested. Everything went off without hitch. My mother-in-law joked "who's going to hit who in the parking lot?" since it went too smoothly! My husband and I had a wedding we will never forget.
The Stage Neck Inn was the perfect spot for our Labor Day Weekend wedding. We were searching for the perfect Seacoast venue for our wedding, and the Stage Neck Inn really had it all-- breathtaking location, indoor and outdoor areas with the ability to keep the party going until 11pm, amazing food, and friendly, helpful staff. Dawn Whittemore, the wedding coordinator, knows her stuff, is cool and collected, and made sure that everything ran seamlessly for our wedding. No question fazed her, she went out of her way to accommodate our requests, and her easy-going, professional manner kept us calm even when planning a wedding from afar. The rest of the team at the Stage Neck Inn is also wonderful. The wait staff during the cocktail hour and reception was so helpful and attentive-- and they even followed me (the bride) around to make sure I got enough to eat! Scott was particularly great. And the food was suburb-- we got only raves, and the chef made sure to accommodate our gluten free and kosher guests. Such an ideal location for a celebration in Seacoast NH and Maine! Thank you for a wonder time and great memories!
Great wedding venue - love it - been a guest for over 30 years was amazing to get married there!
Wedding of my dreams!!!
We just got married July 2018 and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding! The views are insane, the food is amazing, and the staff is excellent! We worked with Dawn, who was very laid back and easy to work with and made our day go off without a hitch.
Our pictures came out insane because of how gorgeous the scenery is there. I would HIGHLY recommend having your wedding there!
Where to begin.... my now husband and I had the absolute BEST wedding day possible at the Stage Neck Inn. I can't say enough about how wonderful everything was the day of, and leading up to the day of (which is EQUALLY as important!).
Dawn Whittemore, the Wedding Coordinator at the Stage Neck Inn, was a dream to work with. Not only was she an excellent communicator, but she is also very detail-oriented, and extremely flexible to work with. I know so much of our day went SO right because of Dawn's involvement. She not only coordinated all of our vendors, which left me feeling as relaxed as I could be on our big day, she even carried my train out for the ceremony, and helped my wedding party and family with my bustle!
The food, service, and breathtaking views at the venue really made our day so magical. I was so thankful to have had Dawn and her team set out the decor EXACTLY as I had asked. It looked even more perfect than I could have imagined! As far as our accommodations went, we stayed two nights at SNI, and found our rooms to be wonderfully appointed with quintessential Maine views. The Inn itself is located on a unique parcel of land, something that drew my husband and I to it from the beginning.
I can't give enough praise to Dawn, and everyone at the SNI, for making our dream wedding a reality. Thank you all so much for all you do! We are forever grateful, and look forward to returning for anniversaries/special celebrations in years to come!
Beautiful venue.
We had a magical wedding weekend during our stay @
The StageNeck Inn! Everything went smoothly & the guests were so overjoyed to be there and entertain their senses!!
The view was spectacular!!
StageNeck has a 360 degree view of ocean beach, rocky shore, and a calming fishing/boat pier. It seems to be on it's own peninsula.
The food was excellent....we loved the modern accents in the dining/bar area as well as the quaint fishing decor & photographs...especially the warm & comfy common area looking out towards the place we got married out in the courtyard. Dawn, the event coordinator worked well accommodating my vision! I am happy with all the amazing vendors I chose...and some were recommended by the StageNeck.
Also.. Loved the sunset as we danced!!!
Feeling Thankful!!
Sincerely, The Pesas
We had our reception at stage neck inn on 5.27.17, Dawn was a delight to work with on the planning. Everything went perfect. The room was set up so gorgeous, the attention to detail from the staff was incredible. Everyone raved about the food, 60 people and not ONE person had a complaint about anything. We had the outside patio as well our guests loved enjoying the outside space in addition to our inside space. To me if you are getting married in York Maine, there is NO BETTER choice than Stage Neck Inn. Location, Staff, Food, just EVERYTHING was PERFECT!!!!
AMAZING and INCREDIBLE venue!! My husband and I were married at Stage Neck this summer on 7/16/16 and it was the truly the best day of our lives. We had looked a many other venues in York before coming to Stage Neck and once we visited we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. We were on a budget and Stage Neck offered different packages and we found one that we could afford that included appetizers during cocktail hour, dinner, dessert, and a DJ! The ceremony view at Stage Neck is spectacular. The reception room also has a beautiful view of the ocean! The new layout has a lot of space for guests during cocktail hour and for dancing the night away! Dawn is the best wedding coordinator and was great from day one. I had many questions and she always took the time to email or call back right away. She was always nice and I never felt like I was a bother, even though I emailed and called a lot. I had no worries at all about the ceremony or reception thanks to Dawn! We were able to go to a food tasting a few months before our wedding and the food was delicious!! We had fun meeting other couples getting married at Stage Neck that year and made some new friends. Many of our guests have told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Thank you so much Stage Neck Inn for helping make our dream wedding a reality!!
Dawn was a pleasure to work with - a true professional who made our wedding day run as smoothly as could be!
Our wedding was on 6-4-16 and it was such an amazing day! Dawn was a pleasure to work with, she was easy to reach and quick to get back to us!! On Our wedding day Dawn was incredible keeping everything going and remembering even the smallest detail! Dawn and the staff at stage neck helped to make our special day perfect!!
Recently had my rehearsal dinner at the Stage Neck. The food was amazing and the room was beautiful!
The Stage Neck Inn is the perfect location for an iconic Maine oceanfront wedding. The wedding coordinator Dawn was great to work with, and was very organized and clearly very experienced. We chose to have our wedding on a Sunday in order to take advantage of their discounted Friday/Sunday wedding package, which was a really great value for the amazing wedding Stage Neck provided. The food was also great, and the staff was excellent throughout the entire day.
From the minute we saw the Stage Neck and met Dawn we knew it was where we had to have our wedding.. We had no idea how much work and planning went into a wedding and Dawn was a great help answering our millions of questions. I love how laid back she is which made me feel more relaxed. As laid back as she seemed however, she had every detail under control and really helped run everything smoothly. I could not thank her or the stage neck enough for making our day perfect. I also could not recommended the stage neck enough. Not only is the service amazing, but the oceanside ceremony and harborview reception was absolutely beautiful. I would also like to say, we were on a very tight wedding budget, we looked at 7 different places all within a $5000-$9000 range and many of the other venues felt like a budget wedding, or had major flaws or worked out to be more expensive. The Stage Neck is a 4 diamond hotel, but due to their package deals we were able to have a feeling of an extravagant wedding but on a budget price. I can safely say we are not the only couple who feels this way, the weekend of our wedding we bumped into 2 other couples celebrating their anniversaries there that had there wedding there as well. They had such a great experience they wanted to come back.
We had our ceremony and reception at the Stage Neck Inn (7/20/12) and absolutely loved everything. Dawn was fantastic to work with, she was organized, efficient and kept everything moving along seamlessly. The staff was beyond helpful to myself and all of our guests (especially Spencer!). We couldn't have imagined a day any better than what we had!
We had our ceremony and reception in June at the Stage Neck. The venue is beautiful, which over looks the water and york harbor beach. This venue provides many oppportnities for storybook pictures! The wedding coordinator was very helpful and the staff was so great. The food was fantastic not your average wedding food. Our guests were very impressed with the food and the venue and are still talking about our wedding. I would highly recommend this venue and would not change a thing.
This venue is gorgeous! It rained in the middle of our ceremony and it took the staff here about 10 minutes to set up inside and get all the guests seated! Dawn whitemore is the wedding coordinator here and she was fabulous! She did everything we asked and set up perfectly! Always on top of things! The staff was friendly and very tentative I will have my next function here as recommended anyone in the area to have a wedding here!
I worked with Dawn at the Inn for 9 months to plan our wedding. She is a true professional, undaunted by my list of details. The setting is truly beautiful, all of our guests enjoyed it. The food was terrific, served by a very nice staff and nothing was left undone. We are grateful to have had such a wonderful and beautiful day!
