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!

Our wedding day at The Union Bluff Meeting House was nothing short of magical, and it's all thanks to this exceptional venue. From the moment we chose them, we knew we were in capable hands. The team's attention to detail and commitment to maki...
ng our day perfect was evident throughout the entire process. One of the standout features of this venue was their full-service approach. They handled the setup and takedown of everything, allowing us to focus on enjoying the day to the fullest. Even the unpredictable weather couldn't dampen our spirits, as The Union Bluff Meeting House had umbrellas ready for our wedding party and family, ensuring everyone stayed comfortable. Darlene, our day-of coordinator, deserves special recognition for going above and beyond to make sure our day flowed seamlessly. Her expertise and dedication were invaluable in relieving us of any worries about the little details while we got ready before the wedding. With her in charge, we could fully savor the moments leading up to the ceremony. A delightful surprise was the thoughtful gesture of packing dinners for us to enjoy on the night after the wedding, just before we left for our honeymoon. It was a wonderful way to end our special day, and it showed the level of care and consideration that The Union Bluff Meeting House puts into their services. The food provided was outstanding, and our guests had nothing but compliments for their meals, the waitstaff, and the bartenders. The champagne, in particular, was a crowd-pleaser. The high-quality dining experience added an extra layer of luxury to our celebration. Throughout the day, Darlene and her dedicated staff kept us on schedule and were readily available for anything we needed. Their presence was reassuring, and we felt supported and well taken care of every step of the way. The Union Bluff Meeting House's support didn't start on the wedding day but extended to the entire planning process. They were extremely helpful, offering guidance, checking in with us regularly, and providing a timeline to keep us organized. Their proactive approach made the planning process smoother and more enjoyable. In summary, if you're looking for a wedding venue that offers impeccable service, thoughtful details, and a dedicated team to bring your dream day to life, look no further than The Union Bluff Meeting House. We couldn't have been happier with our choice, and we wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking to create lasting memories on their wedding day. Thank you, Union Bluff Meeting House, for making our wedding day unforgettable!

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!
Any questions?

hey 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.

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!

s 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.

d 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

n 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!
Response from the Vendor on 08/15/2020
Thank you for pointing out how flexible we tried being. To clarify, option 2 did have reduced food and beverage minimums, not the original as stated. We also offered to host the rehearsal dinner in place of the reception as planned and ceremo...
ny the next day. As noted, we do put a lot of time and commitment into our couples from the moment they start planning with us; not just on the wedding day. That, unfortunately, comes at a monetary cost to us, and combined with the fact that we remove your wedding date from the market, is why we clearly state all deposits are non-refundable both prior to booking and in your contract. We are sorry your plans changed but hope your reception was wonderful! We wish you all the best!

She held my hand the entire process and always was available and flexible for any and all questions I had. On the day of the wedding, the ENTIRE staff was phenomenal but Amy was especially great. Amy made sure I had zero things to worry about and was helpful in ensuring the day was progressing smoothly - she even stopped by the morning of the wedding to show me pictures of the reception being set up just to ensure I had no last minute changes. Amy really does go above and beyond. As for other parts of the reception, the food was great and the staff serving it was just as amazing. They were super accommodating to food allergies that some of my guests had and made sure everyone had what they needed. At the end of the night, the staff packed up everything for us and we simply had to wheel it up one flight in the elevator to get it to our room! I would HIGHLY recommend Union Bluff for your future wedding!

rs came from a place of "no" Darlene and her team came from a place of "yes, we'll take care of that". Darlene's advice not only on things related to Union Bluff was incredibly valuable but also her recommendations of other vendors we used were outstanding. We were happy with all of our vendors and the wedding was everything we had hoped for and more. 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!

Being in the business I know That brides with a wedding one year away don't need linen colors immediately, but Amy never made me feel that way! It was as if I was the only bride Union Bluff had, the connection and experience I had while planning made our day even more exciting! The food was the die for, the views were breathtaking, and the staff stole my heart! We settled on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, so unfortunately guests did pay the expensive Maine room fee BUT every single one of my guests complimented the hotel service as well. The location sells itself but it is truly the employees who make the venue the most amazing venue in New England.

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.

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!
