The Oceanview of Nahant

ent. They completely mishandled our wedding reception and even ruined our first dance despite multiple confirmations beforehand. The venue itself was incredible, but I would strongly encourage couples to find their own DJ. Now, as for The Oceanview itself—our experience with the venue was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment we booked until the end of our wedding night, the entire team was professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. The venue is breathtaking, with stunning ocean views that created the most beautiful backdrop for both our ceremony and reception. Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous the location was. The food was outstanding, the drinks were excellent, and every detail was executed flawlessly. We received countless compliments from guests about the quality of the meal, the service, and the overall atmosphere. The real stars of the day were Chloe and Lydia. I truly cannot say enough good things about them. They were attentive, calm, organized, and always one step ahead. They handled everything behind the scenes so seamlessly that I never had to worry about setup, cleanup, moving décor, coordinating timelines, or managing vendors. They allowed me to be fully present and enjoy my wedding day instead of stressing about logistics. What impressed me most was how effortless they made everything feel. While I know an enormous amount of work was happening behind the scenes, I never felt burdened by any of it. Every transition was smooth, every detail was taken care of, and every question or concern was addressed immediately. That level of professionalism is priceless on your wedding day. If you’re looking for a venue with an incredible location, amazing food and drinks, and a staff that truly knows how to execute a wedding, The Oceanview is an excellent choice. Aside from our experience with the DJ company, our wedding was everything we dreamed of, and the venue played a huge role in that. Thank you to Chloe, Lydia, and the entire Oceanview team for making our day so special. We would choose The Oceanview again in a heartbeat.

l of the coordinators and staff were so friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. Aside from that, the oceanfront views and facilities are amazing - one of the most popular comments from our guests was how beautiful the venue was. Everything is taken care of there and there are so many add-ons and packages offered to make your day exactly what you want. 12/10 recommend!

The setting is simply breathtaking—right on the water, with stunning views that created the most beautiful backdrop for such a special day. Our guests are still talking about it! The food was exceptional—delicious, beautifully presented, and served seamlessly. What truly made the experience stand out was the staff. Every single person was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. The communication leading up to the wedding was clear and reassuring, and on the day itself, everything ran so smoothly that I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. As a parent, that peace of mind is priceless. We were able to fully relax and soak in every moment, knowing we were in the best hands. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that delivers perfection in every detail, The Oceanview of Nahant is it. We are beyond grateful for such an unforgettable experience

ith — friendly, knowledgeable, and always quick to communicate. Their planning portal made everything seamless, and our day-of coordinators kept everything running perfectly behind the scenes. The venue itself is stunning: beautiful ceremony space, a fun bar area with great photo spots, and a reception room that sparkles with water views and mirrors. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the atmosphere, food, and cocktails. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to get married!!

everything felt. From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to make our day seamless and stress-free. Our coordinator, Claire, was incredible! She was attentive, organized, and genuinely caring. She thought of every detail and made sure our vision came to life perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or coordinator, and we’ll forever cherish the memories made here!

ng the staff worked so hard behind the scenes to bring our vision to life! Our final meeting was taken very seriously and we met with our coordinator for over 3 hours perfecting each detail! Loved our day from start to finish!

sive package and we couldn’t have asked for better coordinators. Everything was absolutely perfect. It truly was the best day!! Thank you all so much!

as a dream.  The food was great, staff attentive, and all of the add-on options are incredible.  We added on the Firepit Finale at the end and it was such a great decision.  The wedding planning portal and built-in check in schedule with event coordinators were incredibly helpful in the planning process.  The only blemish on a near perfect experience was the many changes in event coordinators we worked with.  We began with one assigned to us, switched to another a month or so before the wedding whom we had our final meeting with and went over all of our plans, but then had one whom we had never met before run our rehearsal, and then we had a completely different coordinator that we had not met before on our actual wedding day.  This did cause some slight stress/ anxiety as the wedding day approached.  We feel this aspect could have been communicated to us more clearly throughout the process so our expectations on the day were aligned.  That said, the coordinators did do an awesome job on the day.  We would highly recommend this venue to others. 

he greater Boston area and NONE of them came even close to the excellence of the Oceanview of Nahant. Here are the things we loved most: - The Beauty - You just cannot beat a back-drop like the ocean, and Oceanview has it in spades. The options for photography, including the ocean and the nearby greenery at Bailey Hill and Kelley Greens golf course is plentiful. This place is a photographer's dream. - The Customer Service - From our first visit all the way to our wedding day, the level of customer service we experienced is unlike any other. We worked with Allison and Claire throughout the process and both were incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and had immense attention to detail. We once sent Claire an email with 15+ questions and she responded an hour later with answers to all of them. We cannot say enough great things about the staff. They are kind, smart, and skilled. - The Options - There are so many options to customize your day, depending on what you want. We took advantage of the Firepit Finale (which offers an after-party on the pebble beach, with s'mores and corn hole) and it was an amazing way to cap off our evening. We also had the ice cream sundae/milkshake bar, and our guests raved about it! We cannot recommend this venue enough and we will always remember the huge role Oceanview of Nahant played in our love story. Thank you to this unbelievable team of people — you exceeded our expectations in every single way!

ble (honestly we liked it much better than the food from the tasting event), and it was incredibly helpful to have the day-of coordinators making sure we stayed on schedule and getting us anything we needed. Two special elements that I think are unique to Oceanview: 1) We loved the last dance on the beach as a special way to end the reception and 2) the "firepit finale" (firepits and smores on the beach after party add-on). If you want a beautiful venue that has already thought out all the details so that you don't have to stress as much, this is it!

Sami. They took the guesswork out of everything and took away any feelings of being overwhelmed with the wedding planning process. Sami handled every detail efficiently. Her experience and organizational skills were invaluable. Each meeting was relaxed and fun! Our emails with questions to Sami and staff were always answered promptly and they never rushed us. Sami’s guidance was so appreciated by us when it came time to plan the menu and bar service. She did not miss one detail of the ceremony and timeline of the wedding. Sami and her staff were extremely attentive to the wedding and all of the guests. And they did it all with a smile. I wish I had another wedding to plan there!! They made this special day even more memorable. Thank you Sami, Caitlin and all of the staff. I highly recommend The Oceanview of Nahant. Donna & Tom Vasquez

th the stunning location and view, but what really blew us away was the professionalism and warmth of the entire team. The day felt seamless from start to finish. The Oceanview team helped with so many details—setting up, keeping us on schedule, and creating a clear timeline—which made the planning process feel surprisingly hands off for us. On the wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. The food was incredible, and we had such a fun time doing a tasting date night at the venue earlier in the year. A special shoutout to our personal coordinator, Allison, whose upbeat energy and expertise made a huge difference. She navigated our crowd perfectly, checked in with us throughout the night, and made sure we were well taken care of and able to enjoy every moment. We are so grateful to the Oceanview team for making our day as magical and stress free as it was.

ect cherry on top! All of our guests couldn’t stop raving at how beautiful the ceremony was, and how much fun they had taking photos on the balcony and by the beach. When it came to planning, Oceanview was great, they have an entire portal that made it super easy to plan every little detail, and they were always open to video calls to help explain anything or just to bounce ideas around. They were very accommodating throughout the entire process, and no question was too big or small! The entire staff was so friendly, but a big shout out to Sami and Lish for helping us coordinate all the months leading up to the wedding! The food was also amazing, we are definitely biased, but our apps were some of the best we have had at any wedding! The bacon wrapped scallops and quesadillas were to die for! The tasting dinner they held was so fun and they had tons of entree options for all different types of palates. We had guests who were gluten free, vegan, and all different types of food allergies, and no one had any problems. The his and hers cocktails were also a huge hit, and the open bar in general had tons of options and tasted delicious! The attention to detail at Oceanview was superb! They definitely know weddings and how to make a truly memorable experience for everyone! From the heart shaped door handles to the last dance with fog machine on the beach, everything was meticulously thought out from start to finish! Our guests were always entertained and we felt completely taken care of. The day of coordinators handled everything with our wedding planner, which allowed us to focus completely on each other and enjoy the day! A few things to keep in mind while booking: they have a 150 guest minimum on weekends. We had 120, and we personally think 120-150 is a perfect amount, but anything more than maybe 175 looks like it would get pretty crowded. They book two weddings on weekends, so if you have an afternoon wedding, there isn’t a lot of leeway for decorators or vendors to set up early because Oceanview has to clean up the morning wedding. Our vendors had about 1.5 hours to set up, which was enough time in our case, but definitely something to note if you are planning a lot of elaborate decorations. There is also no guarantee that the coordinators you have been planning with are there on wedding day. The whole team was amazing to work with and they share all notes through the portal, but we hired a personal coordinator for more ease of mind. Lastly, if you have questions, remember to ask them early. The Oceanview staff are very busy with weddings during the weekends, so they need to take breaks during the week. This means you only have a few days during the week to set up calls and get answers, so the earlier you ask the better! Overall, we had a fantastic time working with Oceanview! Communication was great, the location and details were amazing, and the whole experience and atmosphere they provide is unlike any other! We cannot recommend them enough, and we honestly hope some of our friends book here too so we can experience the beautiful venue as guests!

Nothing but amazing things to say. I would highly recommend this venue for your wedding.

es, card boxes, etc. was a massive upside for us. Additionally, all of the decisions felt digestible and easy to make. EVERY member of their wedding planning team was amazing, helpful, and so easy to get along with. We honestly left there feeling we were friends with each and every team member that helped make our special day a reality. I cannot recommend this venue enough and we have had nothing but compliments about the Oceanview from friends and family since we had our wedding! Their options for smaller and larger weddings as well as some unique New England offerings make the venue such a great option for couples. As an LGBTQ+ couple we always felt welcomed, represented and safe while planning our wedding.

estions and she was able to answer every single one in a timely response! Not to mention she is always so positive and happy to help, so it’s very refreshing when you’re stressed with wedding planning! The rest of the coordinators seemed to be the same way and were always friendly in the few interactions we had, so no matter which coordinator at Oceanview you get assigned to, you will be impressed! Not to mention the venue itself is gorgeous! Everyone was talking about the view and even the design of the ballroom and bar. All of it is very up to date and beautiful! The minute my husband and I toured, we knew we wanted to have our wedding here! The food was also very good and they had many gluten free, vegetarian, and pescatarian options. Would 10000% recommend Oceanview!

st beautiful venue they had been to and that the food was excellent. Everything went flawlessly on on our wedding day thanks to the support of the wedding coordinators and staff. Truly made the whole night stress free for us and memorable for our guests.

rmed throughout the planning process, and on the day of the wedding, my entire family felt we could put our trust in Claire and Ali. They were so professional, and they knew everything about everything. They asked us questions that involved us in the experience to an extent, without overwhelming us, and ensured our day was as we had hoped. The venue itself is still the talk of our families. It was an absolutely beautiful ceremony with the beach background and a gorgeous flow from the cocktail hour into the reception; it was awesome. The space for dancing was excellent, which provided numerous photo opportunities. I could go on and on about how amazing this team is. Being from Boston, this still actually felt like a destination wedding. If you're wondering where to get married and you're into classy modern fairy tales, this is where you need to be.

ps when we inquired about specific details in their own pamphlets and contracts, but they always double-checked and ensured they provided the correct information. The venue itself is breathtaking and the photos do not do it justice. Overall, an amazing beachfront venue in the Boston area.

I am giving 4 stars because returning our items was not so helpful. Our cake stand wasn't returned when we left the venue, not a big deal, but when we let them know they shipped it out and It went to a wrong address. So we contacted them again to see where it was and they ended up reshipping it to us again... Now my issue is with the packing. There was none, it was a ceramic cake stand that could of held emotional value to us. It arrived broken.... and when we reached back out to just simply let them know that it finally arrived but it was sadly broken, we didn't receive any response. I'm not one to complain but with the amount of money we spent, even for our small wedding package, you would think they could afford to send it packaged correctly, or at least acknowledged the issue and apologize... It just seems that since our wedding planning was over they could care less.. truly is a beautiful venue , just upsetting that no one cared afterwards.

ything to life in the most seamless and beautiful way. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking—one of my bridesmaids, who toured 12 venues for her own wedding, even said it was the most beautiful venue she had ever seen! The setting was stunning, the layout was perfect for our event, and every little detail was thoughtfully designed to create an unforgettable atmosphere. The coordinators were nothing short of phenomenal. They were organized, attentive, and truly invested in making our day perfect. From the planning process to the day-of execution, they handled everything with professionalism and care, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every moment. Our guests are still raving about how magical everything was. If you’re looking for a venue that combines incredible beauty with a team that will go above and beyond to make your day flawless, this is the place. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding unforgettable!

any time we had a question. Then, on the big day, Lish and Meghan were so attentive and made sure everything was perfect for us. Anytime we needed anything, they were right there. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. You can't beat the views, and they had it set up exactly how we envisioned it for our wedding. After the photographs/ceremony were done, Lish brought us up to the ballroom just to make sure everything was set up how we wanted before they brought our guests in, and it was stunning! Throughout the night, all of the food was excellent, and we received many compliments from our guests on how good it was. We also added the Oceanview's video game option for our cocktail hour and photobooth for the entire night, and both were big hits with our guests. And of course, the last dance on the beach was a highlight of the evening! In summary, the Oceanview is a beautiful venue with great food, all the bells and whistles, and incredibly professional and attentive staff who will work with you to make sure that everything goes perfectly. Five stars!

s. Your staff members worked incredibly hard to ensure no detail was spared and everything was just as we had asked for (and imagined it would be). Special thanks to our wedding coordinators, Ally, Sami, and Caitlin who guided us through the entire process and made sure all aspects from the food, setup, and rehearsal were seamless. The venue is perfect for a small to medium sized wedding (we had 120 guests). The food was amazing and all our guests were happy with the selections that were chosen and portion sizes. The seafood was delicious, (Broiled Scallops/Bacon, Lobster salad rolls, shrimp boat, filet & lobster tail duet). The experience provided was amazing and we would highly recommend this venue to any of our friends, family, and prospective couples looking at this spot.

our questions before-hand, and day-of they made everything so stress free. I would highly recommend getting ready in their VIP suite, it’s beautiful! We had so many compliments on how our wedding was, and there’s no way we could’ve accomplished that without the beautiful venue and amazing team at Oceanview of Nahant!
