Water's Edge @ Sheepscot Harbour Village Resort

ed loved the rooms as well! The waitstaff for the rehearsal dinner and reception were the same and they were very attentive and helpful to us (bride & groom). We were able to decorate the reception area as we pleased and the tables were arranged just the way we wanted them! The food was amazing as always and everything went smoothly the day of!

e Beautiful Location.

t gratitude and how awesome the staff was. THANK YOU!

eir whole family relaxing around them for a few days instead of “8 hours & get out.” SVHR did include a free overnight stay in December where you could meet their preferred vendors (which landed us some significant discounts) & that also gave us the opportunity to lock in some other contracts before the bridal shows started. I like their policy of 1 wedding/weekend. SVHR has a great attitude, unfortunately, I wish the “we’ll make it right” attitude didn’t have to come into play so much, because that caused a lot of frustration throughout the planning and the check-in process. It seems like Tracy (Manager) had most of the knowledge in her head, & I wish that the computer system had been more up to date with notes for the whole staff to access so that there wasn’t a need for her to have to fix everything. She was phenomenal to work with, but that is a LOT of stress to put on one person. We didn’t meet the Wedding Planner until the August 2016 meeting, which was fine, but she left our meeting to meet with another couple. The day of my wedding I couldn’t get in touch with the WP for a couple hours because she was meeting another couple in the reception area where my guests were about to be seated. Immediately after the reception ended I spoke with the WP & asked her if I needed to tie up anything else with the bar, wait staff etc. re: payments & the WP responded by telling me that I needed to remove our centerpieces by 9am the next morning as there was a brunch party. I’m sure the look I gave her prompted her to quickly offer to remove the centerpieces for us, because I felt like I had just been slapped with No Service After The Sale. (To their credit, the venue did figure out our shambles of a seating situation, as I had not asked enough questions around that point, & they were willing to come up with an 11th hour solution there.) My mother also had an issue with the Spa on the resort, as she had called to book ladies’ facials for 6 women and explained that all the ladies needed to have their facials completed in time to start getting ready for my 1pm wedding. We showed up to the Spa at 9am, & there was only 1 aesthetician, who was a little confused. The Spa made some corrections, & everyone got an express facial, etc. SVHR is Not readily handicap accessible, ie: rooms, rehearsal dinner location, bi-level reception dinner floor plan, etc. SVHR was very honest about the fact that the wedding business has expanded rapidly from 8 to 40 per year in just a few short years, & in addition to that it looks like they are trying to expand the overall rental & condo sales. Some of the guest cabin issues included our guests calling & requesting a 4 BR cabin, & being rented a “future 4BR cabin” that did not have the renovations completed by the time they checked in. Additionally, the rental software kicked out some guest reservations just prior to check-in that had been in the system for probably at least 9 months. At the end of the day though, did our guests leave saying that this was the best wedding they had been to all year a/o ever? YES. None of our guests experienced a single issue during the ceremony & reception itself and the food was phenomenal. Ultimately, it was everything we wanted our wedding to be. We would recommend the venue to anyone else.

ve and wanted to make sure our day was exactly as we dreamed it would be. We were nervous upon arrival as we had many wedding planners throughout the year and when we tried to reach out to discuss plans, we found that person no longer worked for you. We appreciate that you both appointed yourselves as our main contacts. We know how much goes into planning a wedding, so we understand the pressure you must have been feeling to make sure that everything ran smoothly, while also running the Resort. We didn’t know what to expect when we arrived and meeting with you when we first arrived on Thursday settled our nerves. Thank you. You and your staff went above and beyond to make sure that we, and our family and friends, enjoyed our stay. We heard nothing but positive feedback from everyone. Although we didn’t decide to take you up on your offer to be the first to stay in your brand new Bridal Suite, we were extremely appreciative of the offer. ☺ The suite was beautiful, we just wanted to be close to the water. Thank you for thinking of us. Suite 103 was beautiful, convenient and exactly what we wanted and expected. When our family and friends starting arriving throughout the weekend, Tracy was great! She was friendly and knew who they were when they arrived and made sure they had everything they needed. It’s the little things that she did that were noticed and appreciated. Our family couldn’t say enough kind words about her and how fun she was. As in every survey, you want to share the ‘what did you like best about your stay’ with the ‘what can we improve on’. We did have a couple of things that we wanted to share with you. Overall, our experience was great and we were very pleased with your Resort and would recommend you for other events such as ours. Every employee we encountered was friendly and accommodating. The Resort is simply beautiful and the improvements you continue to make just make it that more beautiful. We appreciate all that you and your staff had done to make our day so special. Everyone was just AMAZING! Tracy and Tony, ‘Thank You’ from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so memorable. We couldn’t have asked for better a better group of people to take such good care of us on our Wedding Day. Thank you Tony for checking in with us throughout the night and Tracy for stopping by one last time to wish us well. It means a lot that you both cared and checked in on us. I know we had a few blips, but it happens, and we ALL TOGETHER pulled it off!! Teamwork makes the Dreamwork!! ☺ Thanks again, and we hope to see you soon! Heidi & Becky

the word for the prime rib, everyone raved about the crab stuffed haddock . The bride (my daughter) and groom were happy and that says it all!

as possible! Than You!

n taken care of in a timely manner. The facility is well taken care of and the lodging is beautiful. Thank you for all your help!

and accommodating to our crazy crew and our many requests. You did everything we asked – and then some. Your ideas for vendors were perfect. We were so pleased and are so grateful for everything you did for us all along the way. Bottom line is that the wedding was beautiful, the setting was perfect, the food was great, the deejays were fun, the cake was yummy and the memories will last a lifetime. Thanks again for making this special day happen for my baby girl and for me. They are looking forward to coming down in the fall thanks to your generous offer. I think we remembered everything, but if anything was left behind or you have any feedback for us, let me know. Oh, and the hair people were awesome, too. The girls had a lot of fun with that. Sarah

ll made night amazing. Thank You!

h your beautiful facility and all you have done with it! Thank you again.

ut overall the weekend went very well. One suggestion would be to put full length mirrors in the cottages so that people can see their whole outfit. Everyone was very helpful, including Tony especially. Thank You!

yone else it was such an amazing day

t. Thank You!

e you guys! Ps Tracy Miller Clark what are you going to do without my daily calls?! And Tony, you do a great job, keep it up! Love, Kassi Albert and Joshua Ronan

12+

we will cherish forever. Thank you all so very much!!

Wonderful beautiful place. They made sure all was perfect just the way we wanted it to be!! Thank you all so much!!!!

or if everything was going good. We will definitely be back!! Thanks to everyone

f options. We stayed in a beautiful condo on the riverbank and enjoyed the view!

ng time. Tony took care of us and was very professional. I feel the staff went above and beyond our expectations. The rooms and cabins were very comfortable. I had a two bedroom cabin that overlooked the river. It was very comfortable and had all the amenities of home. They have comfortable chairs on the porch where you can watch the river flow. There was internet up in the main rooms but my cabin did not have internet. I really did not miss it as the area had much to offer. A wedding was being held at the resort and it appeared that the wedding went off very well. They have an outside gazebo by the edge of the river where the outside weddings are held. There is a private boat dock where you can dock a boat if you have one. This place is great for a romantic getaway, wedding or convention. A couple or a group would enjoy staying here. It is close to everything, yet a quiet place to relax. I would definitely stay here again.

itself is beautifully decorated. And with many of our guests from out of town, it was so convenient to have them stay at the Resort. They could walk from the venue to their rooms after the reception--and during their stay, it was a short walk across the bridge into town for restaurants and shopping. We would definitely recommend the Resort to anyone! Bridget and Randall Miller

we could not change our date. Tony and Tracy were great and provided an awesome buffet meal with more food then we could eat. (Thus a lot of take home). Several of our employees stayed right on the property in wonderful accomodations! I can't say enough about what agreat place this is and the staff was very professional. The owner takes pride in putting on a memorable time.

n the fall this year) for many years and she has been remarkable in responsiveness, assistance with any issues which may arise, and effectiveness in service to the public. She is an excellent representative for your company, and I have recommended to many friends and colleagues to stay at your facility due to her personality and efficiency. Of course, we love the facility and its location, but the combination with her business manner makes us come back each year. Thank You! G

equests. If he couldn't, he came up with an alternative. Our Rehearsal Dinner was held on the second level of the Reception Hall. With most of our guests already staying on grounds, we decided to really enjoy ourselves and the wonderful site. We even had a Pre-Party before the Rehearsal Dinner at one of the cabins. This pushed back the schedule for the night big time. However, the staff was very patient, professional and understanding. We partied all night long and took it back to a cabin after. They helped make a very hectic night Unforgettable, in a Great way!! Our Ceremony was on site as well. Perfect. Tony made sure the menu was perfect and that we stayed within our budget. Tracy worked tirelessly with our out of town and local guests. Tracy made sure they (difficult guests or not) had a comfortable Resort experience. We feel blessed. We found a great venue for many more celebrationso to come. Best of all, we gained Family. A HUGE Thank you to Tony and his lovely wife. A Special Thank you to Tracy Clark and the Entire staff! We can not drive by without stopping in to say hello....see you soon! Thanks again for making our wedding such a memorable occasion!

d each year it gets better and better (if that's even possible)! The food is top quality, the staff is professional and courteous and the facility itself is beautiful. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to plan a wedding or hold any event. Keep doing what you're doing Tony! Sherri Dunbar

for 100 on the main floor Friday night and a small family buffet brunch for 30 on Sunday morning. The wedding itself took place across the river at Marianmade Farm in Wiscasset. The renovations recently done at Waters Edge have been a huge upgrade to the color scheme and to the furnishings of the function rooms. Every event was set up as I had requested. The food was delicious, hot and ready on time. Every single person whether in the office, behind the bar, cooking in the kitchen or helping with set up and housekeeping was incredibly nice and accommodating. As the mother of the groom, I appreciated all the work that was done so that I did not have to worry about anything once the weekend arrived! I would highly recommend holding your functions here. A big Thank You to all at SHR!
