    A Maine Coast wedding dream!

    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.

    Cannot say enough amazing things about this venue

    From day one they went out of the way to make sure our day was perfect and they had the entire staff help with a huge hiccup that was nothing to do with them just to make sure our day was perfect!!! Dawn is amazing to work with and even the owners jumped in to lend a hand!

    Fantastic!!!

    Dawn 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. Loved having my wedding here and would not change a thing. Also the food was great and the rooms are spectacular!!

    Highly Recommended

    Stage Neck Inn was a wonderful venue for our wedding this past summer!
    Dawn was excellent to work with and was always available for all questions. The scenery was gorgeous, not much more we could have asked for. The food was delicious and hot when served and the energy of the staff was upbeat and accommodating. Highly recommended for anything ranging from a wedding to a weekend stay on the Maine coast.

    Amazing Wedding Venue

    My husband and I got married at the Stage Neck on August 17th, 2019. We had the pleasure with working with Dawn as our wedding coordinator. Dawn made it so easy to organize our wedding day, was always calm and great to work with! We had such an amazing experience with our friends and family. We will be back to stay for future anniversaries and dinners!

    Visit The Stage Neck and you won't need to see another place

    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 plane to make The Stage Neck our go to getaway for years to come because of our positive and unforgettable experience.

    This place made my dreams come true!

    This venue is in a prime location if you want to be by the ocean! The staff are so nice and accommodating! Their day of wedding coordinator is fantastic! Anything I asked for, she made it happen! The day of my wedding, the weather was questionable, but my coordinator watched the weather until the last minute and was able to set up for an outdoor ceremony that went perfectly! The reception space is small, so can accommodate up to about 120/150 guests, which worked out very well for us! The food was excellent and the DJ got everyone up and dancing! My dreams really came true here!

    Beautiful venue and great wedding coordinator!

    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.

    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!

    My husband and I got married at the Stage Neck Inn on Saturday, 9/23/17, and WOW – we were so happy and pleased with our decision! We reside in NJ and looked at many venues in the Ogunquit/York area for our destination wedding. We both loved and decided to go with the Stage Neck – and we were blown away by everything! Impeccable grounds and view of the harbor for our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, reasonable wedding package $, updated guest rooms, superior quality of food, beyond courteous service, and ease of working with Dawn, Stage Neck’s onsite wedding coordinator. We 100% do not regret our decision! Our guests, most of whom had never been to southern Maine before, loved the views, food, and service. I was so thankful to have worked with Dawn – she replied to every question I had with patience and urgency, took care of my vendors before and on the day-of, helped our families, wedding party, husband and I with everything, and made sure every detail was taken care of with the upmost professionalism. Further, I cannot say enough about the Stage Neck Inn staff who worked our wedding – Bob, the bartender, was awesome, and Katie and the other servers were top-notch – I was even notified that my dinner was served so it didn’t get cold sitting on the table (yes, I actually had a chance to eat, which I hear most brides don’t get that luxury). The price for the quality of food was insane – I am a self-proclaimed foodie and everything I ate (coconut chicken finger, lamb lollipop, poke wonton, risotto cake, oysters on the half shell, lobster bisque, dinner rolls, seafood stuffed haddock, NY strip and even the daily included breakfast buffet) was outstanding and so fresh. Finally, I had several guests, including my mom, with Celiac disease, and Dawn and the staff accommodated my gluten-free/no contamination requests, including supplying GF dinner rolls! Dawn and the Stage Neck – thank you so much for making our wedding day so incredibly special! -Adam and Blair

    This location is unsurpassed, a gem, the scenery is GORGEOUS, the staff here was so respectful and accommodating, and just downright AMAZING. Dawn made it all so easy, you couldn't ask for more. The food was PERFECT. Not one complaint at all from ANYONE at our wedding. Everyone raved about the location, the food, the service, they said it was the best wedding they ever went to. :-) I will tell you that is near impossible to pull off, and THEY DID IT WITH SMILES AND GRACE.

    Truly the best value (optimizing for both price and quality) waterfront venue out there -- much more incredible than the pictures, you really need to see it in person to appreciate it. My fiance and I looked at over 20 waterfront venues in 5 different regions of the country, and decided on the Stage Neck based on what looked to be an excellent quality service and stunning location / views at a very, very fair Saturday night price. We were even more pleased with the venue than we thought we would be when we'd booked. Several things truly exceeded our expectations -- the food was actual nice restaurant quality standard (NOT like a big chain hotel room service menu -- trust me I eat a lot of room service for my job and did not want this for my guests), Dawn is incredibly organized and easy to work with and ran everything extremely smoothly day of, the venue is overall a very honest establishment (they let us make some last minute changes with no charges -- which I find to be rare in the world of weddings, didn't have a bunch of extra line item fees). Based on my market research Stage Neck is probably underpriced compared to what they offer. Would 100% recommend and repeat our decision, and I look forward to returning to the property in coming years to celebrate our anniversary. One minor thing to note -- at least for our year, tastings were only held once a year, and most but not all food choices are available to try, but we were able to return to the venue at a separate time and try the couple of items we weren't able to have then at no charge (again, the venue went above and beyond to accommodate us).

    My fiance and I were looking for a location for our wedding that had beach views and one that was also affordable. The Stage Neck Inn offers gorgeous views and also a great Friday night package that includes the DJ, cake, all the food and the reception and ceremony space. I find wedding planning very stressful so to be able to have primary vendors included was key for me! Also, Dawn has been very responsive to my email questions which I greatly appreciate. Can't wait for our wedding next year. Will provide a review after the big day!

    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!!

    We have no doubt that we chose the right place to have our wedding. The Stage Neck staff and Dawn (wedding coordinator) are true professionals, and our beautiful wedding went off without a hitch. She set up our decorations the day of so we wouldn't have to worry about it. They were also very flexible with any requests. The Friday package made this beautiful venue so reasonable as it included the ceremony, awesome DJ Fred, gorgeous and delicious cake by MaryAnn Kane and all taxes and gratuity. We seriously paid one bill, and didn't have to worry about much of anything on our wedding day except having a great time. I highly recommend the Stage Neck Inn!

    Words cannot express how happy we were with our decision to have our wedding reception at stage neck. First and foremost the inn itself has the most gorgeous setting right on a cliff with ocean views. Our guests which had never been to this area were just wowed by the views. We planned this from out of state and the coordinator Dawn was very helpful with all my questions throughout the process. She truly made the experience stress free especially on the wedding day. While we did not have the ceremony here, the reception went so smoothly. I did not have to worry about anything. The food was great with many guests giving compliments. The staff made sure the bridal party got some food while taking pictures which was much appreciated. Our wedding package came with a dj and cake which were both great as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this venue to any brides looking for a picturesque location with top notch service.

    The Stage Neck Inn was everything I ever hoped it would be. My wedding day was perfect and Dawn was so easy to work with. I wish the day never ended. We cannot wait to return to Stage Neck for our anniversary.

    We absolutely loved having our wedding at the Stage Neck Inn. We live in California and I was a bit concerned that everything would come out perfect. It did. Dawn the wedding coordinator is awesome to work with. She is such a pro and one can tell she has been doing this a while and nothing surprises her. It was a pleasure to work with her. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. Saying "I do" over the Atlantic in this breath taking location is priceless. I talked to all of my guests and they all absolutely loved the location and everyone had a great time. The attention to detail that Dawn has for weddings is fabulous and I highly recommend this venue for anyone considering a wedding along the Maine coast. We looked at quite a few venues from Massachusetts to Maine along the water and for what we wanted, nothing came close to what Stage Neck Inn could offer us.

    Perfect setting, perfect venue, amazing staff, perfect vendors (DJ Fred was awesome and Mary Ann's cupcakes were delish), and Dawn all combine for making a perfect day. Dawn was amazing throughout the process, providing patient guidance and sage advise, and then coordinating the perfect wedding day. Every guest has told me it was one of the best weddings ever.

    We cannot thank the Stage Neck Inn and their event planner, Dawn Whitemore enough for such an amazing wedding. We were a same-sex couple and they treated us like they would treat anyone. Dawn was AMAZING to work with who made wedding planning so easy. The food was absolutely fabulous and of course the views were to die for. We cannot thank the Stage Neck enough!!!

    Stage Neck Inn was wonderful! Many people told me (mother of the bride) that it was the most beautiful wedding that they had ever attended. The food was fabulous! We received an immediate response whenever we had questions. The setting was so beautiful and we are all very pleased with the entire wedding!

    My husband and I fell upon the Stage Neck while on our wedding to see another wedding venue. We were amazed at the beautiful views, so we decided to stay a night. The rooms were gorgeous, meals divine and the beds were really comfortable. We met with Dawn Whittemore in the wedding department and decided that we wanted to get married there. Dawn was thorough but not overwhelming. You can tell she does this for a living. She had a great timeline (for all of you brides out there that need a date of when things will happen, Dawn is perfect for that and for you brides that want someone else to handle it, Dawn is perfect with that too). It really is the best place, ever! Dawn handled everything except meal choice and place cards. My other vendors (entertainment, florist, etc) spoke and delivered to her and my job on the day was to relax, and boy was I able to.

    The Stage Neck also provided catering for my wedding. The food was to die for. We did a tasting and narrowed our meals down to 3. We provided a choice of 3 on our invitations and we heard such amazing things from the guests on the meals. The Food is so fresh and so elegantly prepared, you really can't go wrong with any choice!

    The clincher for the Stage Neck was the view. How can you beat getting married on the ocean, but on a 'borderline' cliff. It's gorgeous and was the talk of my wedding.

    We plan on returning to the Stage Neck every year for our anniversary. It is the most amazing place. Once you see it, you will know what I mean!

    Thanks to Dawn & everyone at the Stage Neck for the most wonderful experience!
