Choosing The ViewPoint Hotel as our August 2023 wedding venue was the best decision we made and absolutely MADE our wedding. It has a “wow” factor that will impress your guests fr...om the moment they step onto the property until the minute they leave. Around 30% of our guests were not from New England, so we wanted them to have a true Maine experience, and what better way than having them spend the weekend on the beautiful rocky coastline while looking at the Nubble Lighthouse! Many of our guests are still saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and we know the property, staff, and view were a huge factor in creating that whole experience.
First of all, the property is absolutely breathtaking. We booked with the ViewPoint before they started their renovations in late 2022, but we saw renderings so we had an idea of what to expect. We were a bit nervous knowing that we wouldn’t see the final product until a few short months before our wedding day. Let me tell you, they exceeded our expectations! The addition of the new rooms, the new wedding ceremony space, and the incredible landscaping add a level of elegance that didn’t exist before. The existing hotel rooms are wonderful, and many upgrades were made over the last few months (flooring, furniture, etc.). But the real star of the show is the 7 new hillside rooms/cabanas. You have to see them for yourself…jaw-droppingly beautiful with very high-end finishes and technology. Your guests staying on property will be delighted with the rooms.
Now, onto the staff…the people you will work with at Viewpoint are the highest-caliber professionals who will do everything to make sure your wedding day is exactly how you picture it. We decided to use the ViewPoint’s Day-Of-Coordinator service and worked closely with Haven throughout the planning process. I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. Haven is super friendly, helpful, funny, accommodating, and reliable…it was easy to trust her in helping us plan our perfect day. She was available to answer questions via email or hop on the phone whenever needed. On the day of the wedding, everything ran so smoothly thanks to Haven (and Aly and the rest of the team!). Haven is a true pro and coordinated the day’s schedule and every vendor so that we didn’t have to worry about a thing and could focus on being present with our family and friends. The staff set everything up for the ceremony and reception and broke it all down at the end of the night. One thing to note is the property does not have an indoor space in case of rain, but there are several rain-plan options (additional ceremony tent, umbrellas, etc.) so just make sure you’re OK with that scenario. We were fine with the rain-plan, but fortunately had beautiful weather. In summary, if you’re looking for a beautiful Maine wedding along the coast that you and your guests will remember forever, don’t hesitate to book the Viewpoint Hotel!
