One Sentence - Book the Beauport for Your Wedding!

One sentence: Book the Beauport Hotel for your wedding. The magic they created for me, my husband, and our entire family is unmatched. We started this adventure wanting three things for our wedding: Christmas decor (the hotel's is incredible!), the ocean view, and a hotel option for our guests. While those factors convinced us to book the venue , the people of the Beauport are what made the day beyond perfect. ). I was planning for this wedding for two years and went back continuously for different things, and the entire staff knew my name, asking how the planning was going and how I was. From the front desk, waiters, valets, event staff, cleaners, and everyone else we encountered, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. One person stands out. This wedding would not have happened without Melissa Nolet. I met her at the food tasting, and she presented herself so warmly and professionally that I knew she was the planner I wanted. Every need and question she answered within a day or two. I wanted a customized meal; she made it happen. I wanted four dances; she organized the reception to prioritize that. I wanted a completely cozy Christmas wedding, and she introduced a pho fireplace and helped us brainstorm how we could bring the decor into the venue space. She calmed my nerves the week of the wedding, responding to concerns (literally 5 paragraphs on a Tuesday night) to ensure I replaced those nerves with excitement. The weekend of the wedding the hotel was buzzing, Christmas music was softly playing, and the most stunning decor was up. We got our welcome bags at check-in with no issues, and thoughtful gifts were placed in our rooms to welcome us, my parents, and his. The day of the wedding, Melissa saw me leaving the venue for the church, and I honestly cried because she was so happy to see ME. When we got back, she was always in my preferal for the entire day. She ensured every picture was taken on my 3-page list; she organized a wedding group of 24 with ease and professionalism. Every question had an answer. There were no hiccups, no stress, and no timing issues. She was considerate of the entire wedding party and provided us with food in the bridal room with all of our things (the appetizers were to die for; I ate so much before the meal). After running across the beach, she was on her hands and knees, carefully wiping seaweed and sand off my dress (we even found a sea urchin lol). When the reception began, she tucked away my veil and shawl safely with our things. I didn't even realize I didn't have those things until I saw them nearly folded in our decor pick-up bin. She ensured I had a drink all evening, guided to where I needed to be, and I kept hugging her and looking at her like "This is the perfect night, how is this so perfect?!" The food was spectacular, and the bar was fast and efficient with drinks. The shortcake bar was fantastic as well. No one was rudely dismissed when it ended. We were slowly guided out to the lobby. Her job was really done. Yet, in the lobby of the Beauport, my uncle asked me for a dance and obliged. She came up behind me and said, "Just keep dancing, lovely, pretend I'm not here," and PINNED my hair back for me before wishing me well for the evening. So yes. Go to the Beauport for the venue and the staff. Hire the planner that cares about YOU and ends the night pinning up your hair, as you dance around the lobby in your sparkly wedding dress. I am forever grateful to this establishment.

The perfect wedding and a special place in our hearts

We just got married at the Beauport Hotel this weekend and I couldn't wait to write a glowing review of our amazing experience. The Beauport Hotel took such great care of us and we knew from the very beginning that we were going to have a memorable and special wedding.

I actually proposed to my husband at the Beauport as well - with them not only helping me to get a bouquet of roses and champagne sent to our room to surprise him, but then also leaving us a very lovely card congratulating us on our engagement and a box of chocolates.

Everything is world-class about the Beauport - the food and beverage, the rooms and amenities, the professionalism and hospitality of the staff. And the personal touches - like congratulations cards, the chocolates, the champagne to celebrate - really made us feel welcomed and celebrated. It was heartwarming.

When it came to planning the wedding, the process was seamless. We felt taken care of and really supported in creating our special day. Our event planner Jacey was absolutely the best and we can't thank her enough for helping everything go so smoothly. There is nothing I would have changed about the day - it was a perfect way to celebrate our love with our friends and family in a beautiful setting, with incredible food and unforgettable hospitality.

We will always have a special place in our hearts for the Beauport and will come back to celebrate all of our future anniversaries there.

The Perfect Wedding

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue. It was the most perfect place to celebrate: on the water, guests/we could stay on site, the restaurant/bar is great, and most importantly they know what they're doing. Our coordinator, Melissa, met with us twice leading up to the wedding. We live in South Carolina so we met virtually and she was very flexible with us. She helped me feel at ease with the planning process since we did not have a planner (and truly didn't need one with all that she helped with).

The day of, all of the bridesmaids/moms were able to get ready in the bridal suite (there were 11 of us total). It was so great to be able to wake up and get ready on site. We catered breakfast to the suite which I highly recommend.

We had our ceremony on site and it was perfect. Since it was April in MA (unpredictable) we were able to make a day of decision on whether it would be indoors or outdoors. It was a chilly day but they had heaters so we opted for outdoors. Melissa was there to make sure that I had my veil (I forgot it in the room) and put it on properly for me. She even helped me bustle and un-bustle my dress multiple times for pictures etc. She went above and beyond to give us the perfect day. If anything went wrong we surely don't know about it because she was so organized and kept us on timeline. The food was absolutely incredible. I don't have enough good things to say about this venue and their team other than book it!!!

Perfect Winter Wedding at Beauport

Beauport Hotel Gloucester was the perfect venue for our wedding. Even though it was February and we had a blizzard earlier in the week, our wedding day turned out to be sunny and the ocean views were absolutely stunning. We were even able to take photos on the deck, which made the day feel even more magical.

From our very first tour, I knew our wedding would run smoothly and effortlessly at Beauport. A huge part of that was our incredible venue coordinator, Mindy. Mindy was highly communicative and supportive throughout the entire planning process. She truly listened to what mattered to us—she even worked with the kitchen to include a special chicken dish on the menu to accommodate my picky-eater tendencies! Every detail of the vision I had for the day came to life because of her care and attention.

During the event itself, Mindy checked on us and our parents multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed, which helped us all feel completely at ease. The entire Beauport staff was professional, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive. From the champagne and chocolates waiting in our hotel room to Mindy personally making sure my veil made it back to our room at the end of the night, we felt so cared for and celebrated all weekend long.

I truly can’t imagine a more beautiful place to get married or a better team to make it happen.

Valentine's Day Wedding at the Beauport

The Beauport absolutely knocked it out of the park for our Valentine's Day wedding, and Melissa specifically was unbelievable from start to finish. Every single detail had the upmost care put into it from delivering on the room setup with all the decor we provided, the food was exceptional, and the entire weekend went off without a hitch. With Melissa we knew we were in great hands from the first meeting, and she far-exceeded expectations across the board. She was two steps ahead of everything, was meticulous in preparation and execution, even pulled a last minute hail mary securing a photographer two days prior after ours had to cancel with a medical emergency. The staff at the hotel saw to every need we could come up with, and made every guest feel welcomed. If you're looking for a venue on the North Shore, Beauport should be your first and last stop

Amazing Venue & Team

My wedding at the Beauport Hotel was better than I had imagined! Everything leading up to the wedding was so professional and their event team was always responsive to all my questions. As the wedding got closer, Melissa was assigned as our coordinator and she is phenomenal! She is clearly an expert at what she does. As I would tell her the things I wanted to make our wedding special she had the perfect ideas for how to make it all come to life. The day of the wedding she perfectly organized our bridal party so that everyone knew what they were supposed to be doing and when. She truly put everyone at ease. She was there to clean the sand off my dress after beach photos, she got a makeup stain out of a groomsmen’s suit, and she jumped right in to help bustle my dress so I could get right out to cocktail hour. Melissa silently made sure that my husband and I always had everything we needed throughout the day. The next day Melissa had all of our stuff including my veil, wedding dress, cake, and decor perfectly organized and ready for us to take. If anything didn’t go exactly as planned, we truly had no idea because everything ran so smoothly and seamlessly.

Beyond that, the food at our wedding was delicious, my husband and I loved it, and our guest are still raving about it. The bar service was quick and efficient. We were also lucky enough to have perfect summer weather, which allowed us to get married outside on the deck overlooking the ocean. The setting was absolutely stunning and made our day feel even more special. We are beyond grateful to the Beauport team for making our wedding day flawless and unforgettable, and we would highly recommend this venue to any couple!

Professionally executed coastal summer wedding

My husband and I got married at the Beauport on August 3rd 2025, and we had an incredible experience working with the Beauport Weddings team from the beginning of the planning process all the way through the big day itself. Our event manager Melissa was an absolute joy to work with, helping us craft a timeline to match our priorities for the big day, answering all of our questions in (and between) our planning meetings, and making us feel comfortable and taken care of on wedding day with her professionalism, poise, and kindness. She even helped prepare our young ring bearer and flower girls for their walk down the aisle so that their parents and grandparents could focus on their own duties! Melissa and the rest of the event staff were clearly knowledgeable and experienced, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch so that Daniel and I were able to relax and enjoy our big day. The beautiful location and ability to stay at the venue the night before and of the wedding was a huge plus for us and our wedding day VIPs. Everyone who stayed at the Beauport for the wedding mentioned how generous and helpful the hotel staff were during their stay (chocolates and wine for us and our wedding party was a generous touch!) Both the outdoor and indoor spaces at the Beauport are beautiful, and our guests raved about the quality of the food and signature cocktails. We can’t express enough how pleased we were with our venue choice, and we’re excited to dine and stay at the Beauport to celebrate anniversaries or just have a fun weekend away!

Best Venue Ever!!!!!

We were married at Beauport on September 27th, and it was beyond magical! It truly was the most perfect day, and we are still floating on cloud nine. From the very beginning, our coordinator Melissa delivered a spectacular experience. She handled every detail with flawless professionalism and always went the extra mile, checking in throughout the planning process and on the wedding day itself.

The venue is stunning, and our guests are still raving about the food. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled by how many delicious options were available for me too. We would recommend Beauport to absolutely everyone, and we already can’t wait to come back for our anniversary!

A huge thank you to Melissa and the entire team for giving us the most magical and memorable wedding weekend! 💖

Perfect Coastal Wedding Venue!

My husband and I were married at the Beauport Hotel in July 2025, and we truly cannot recommend this venue enough! From the moment we arrived to kick off our wedding weekend to the time we left, everything was absolutely perfect. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and that our guests were taken care of. We want to give a special shoutout to our incredible wedding coordinator, Melissa. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! Melissa was so helpful, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire planning process. We ended each conversation with her feeling more confident and reassured in our decisions. That meant so much to us in the moments we were overwhelmed by wedding planning. Melissa added so many thoughtful touches to our wedding weekend that made it feel extra special & memorable. She even came to the rescue and bustled my dress at the last minute when we ran into an unexpected issue. Not only that, but she made sure food was set aside and sent to our room after noticing we hadn't eaten much during cocktail hour and dinner due to greeting guests. Melissa took care of setting up and breaking down all of our decor too. This allowed us to be fully present and stress free throughout our entire wedding weekend. These are just a few examples that made all the difference to us. The Beauport is truly just a stunning venue. We felt we didn’t even need a ton of decor because it’s so beautiful on its own. The 1606 restaurant and bar at the Beauport made for a perfect & convenient after party location too. We loved that the hotel even let us bring in our own pizzas as a late night snack option for our remaining guests. The Beauport Hotel very quickly became one of our favorite places to be. We recently had dinner there with our families and Melissa happened to be the coordinator working a wedding that evening. We ran into her in the lobby & she was able to sneak away and greet us, making us feel just as welcomed as she did during our wedding weekend. We really can’t say enough about Melissa & we’re so grateful for all she did for us! The entire Beauport team is just amazing. We can’t wait to spend future anniversaries here! We know future couples will love the Beauport as much as we do!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
