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.

An Unforgettable Wedding Experience —- Beyond 5 Stars!

From the moment we began planning our wedding at the Beauport Hotel, we knew we had chosen somewhere special. But even our highest expectations could not have prepared us for the extraordinary experience we had. From start to finish, the Beauport team delivered a level of excellence, professionalism, and genuine care that was truly exceptional.

The event planning and execution were absolutely flawless. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, every element was beautifully coordinated, and every moment unfolded seamlessly. What impressed us most was the incredible peace of mind the Beauport team gave us throughout the entire process. They managed every aspect of our wedding with such expertise and attention to detail that we were able to be fully present, enjoy every moment, and simply celebrate with our family and friends. That gift was priceless.

The Beauport team took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life in ways that exceeded anything we could have imagined. From our beautiful ceremony to the elegance of our reception, the entire experience was simply magical. Equally important to us was creating an unforgettable experience for our guests, and the Beauport delivered in every way. The food was absolutely incredible, beautifully presented, and exceptionally prepared. We received countless compliments from our guests about the quality of the food, the impeccable service, and the overall experience.

A very special recognition goes to Mindy G., our Wedding Manager, who was truly extraordinary. Mindy was so much more than a wedding manager — she was our trusted partner, our advocate, and a calming presence throughout the entire journey. Her professionalism, attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to anticipate our needs were unmatched. She approached every aspect of our wedding with genuine care and personal investment, making us feel as though our celebration was just as important to her as it was to us. We had complete confidence in Mindy, and that trust allowed us to enjoy the planning process and our wedding day without worry. We will always be grateful for the incredible role she played in making our day so special.

We never felt like just another wedding or event. We felt genuinely cared for, celebrated, and valued as a couple. That level of personal attention is rare, and it made an already extraordinary experience even more meaningful.

Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and so much more. We will forever be grateful to Mindy and the entire Beauport team for creating such a beautiful, seamless, and unforgettable celebration. We cannot recommend the Beauport Hotel highly enough to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding experience. If we could give more than five stars, we absolutely would!

Spectacular!

We cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to have our wedding at the Beauport! Starting with our wedding coordinator Jacey! She was simply amazing! From the first meeting, we knew that we would be in good hands. She was honest, helpful and trustworthy! I knew what she was telling us was not a sales pitch. I found her to be wonderful right from the start. The day before the wedding we saw her and she said, I am here for whatever you need. We never had one worry. She was a perfect host, co-ordinator and then some! All that she did to make our day flawless was so appreciated.!!!!!
The venue looked beautiful! All of our rooms worked perfectly and looked amazing( thank you Jacey!) including the deck which had the heaters out to help with the chill in the air!
The food was absolutely spectacular!!! All of it! Also, the open bar and bartenders were great, including our signature drinks!
We will have memories to last a lifetime and a lot of that is due to the Beauport. It was such an added bonus to have such a beautiful room to head up to after such a long day. Also, Gloucester is a great area with plenty of things to do if your time permits! The bar and restaurant at the hotel are also so convenient and great to have as part of the whole experience! I would recommend this venue to anyone I know! and would do it again in a heartbeat!!!

Absolutely perfect from start to finish!

We could not have asked for a better venue or a better team for our wedding. The room is stunning, and it truly was the perfect setting for our day. The food was delicious, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it.

A special thank you to our coordinator, Jacey. She was on top of everything from start to finish, and the day ran so smoothly that we never had to worry about a single detail. Because of her calm, care, and attention to every little thing, we got to be fully present and enjoy every moment.

Thank you, Jacey and team, for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We are so grateful and would recommend this venue to anyone in a heartbeat!

Dream Wedding - Beauport Hotel

I seriously cannot find the words to describe the entire wedding experience we had at The Beauport. From the first time we walked through the doors to the main lobby, we were greeted with mimosas, smiles and the most kind welcome imaginable. Their staff, the location, the food, the venue space, the hotel rooms, the pool and everything in between made booking our wedding there the easiest decision of our wedding. They were very nice and flexible with us throughout the booking process. Once we had the venue booked, we were assigned Mindy as our wedding coordinator. Mindy made planning our wedding an extremely seamless experience. She was so thoughtful, considerate, kind, and selfless. Her attention to detail in the lead up to the wedding, made it so every single moment of our wedding day wasn’t left to chance. She struck the very delicate balance between understanding our vision and giving well thought out guidance. During the wedding weekend, the entire hotel and venue shone like a star. They treated our guests with the utmost respect and white glove service you only see in movies. The 1606 Restaurant & Oyster Bar was spectacular, it was a great place for our guests to grab a drink and get some high quality food during their stay. The Bird’s Eye rooftop bar was the cherry on top… making our Summer wedding weekend feel like an all-inclusive getaway in paradise. The entire staff at both spots were wonderful. On our wedding day, the venue was flawless. They accommodated our rather large wedding party and guest count at every turn, taking any and all stress off of us. Mindy went above and beyond to ensure the entire day was perfect from start to finish. They accommodated our special signature drinks and all the bartenders did a fantastic job. The food was not just any wedding food, it was restaurant quality and came out hot and fresh. Our guests still continue to rave about the Hors d'oeuvres, salad and entrees. Not to mention this space was simply built for weddings. The dance floor was packed all night, just the way we wanted. In short, this was the PERFECT venue for our perfect day. They made the entire weekend, the most amazing, unforgettable experience we could have ever dreamed of. We’ll always be grateful for the Beauport Team for making our special day so special. We’ll be back every year!! 100000 out of 10, would recommend having your big day here.

Coastal New England Dream Venue

We held our wedding at Beauport on 5/16/26 and it was the best decision! It is such a gorgeous venue that gives that coastal New England feel without completely breaking the bank. For the price point and everything it included, it was incomparable to everything else we toured and the easiest decision to have our wedding here.

Our event coordinator, Mindy, was there with us every step of the way during our planning process and was so attentive and responsive to all of our questions and concerns. She truly made our day so special, and she even took time out of her day to come ask us how married life has been when we visited Beauport again a month later. We still are having guests reach out to a us a month and a half later saying how beautiful the space is, how friendly and helpful the staff was, and how delicious and filling the food was. The staff are truly a well-oiled machine there, and they will take care of so much behind the scenes and ensure your day is perfect. There were a lot of little touches throughout the planning process and weekend of that Mindy and the Beauport team orchestrated that just made it feel so special and so personal, like we were more than just a client to them. The bar staff also got to know us very well over the weekend and were so friendly and good to us and our guests.

Our only critique, and we say this lightly as our day was still very overwhelmingly positive, was that when we brought up the restaurant next door as a concern for noise during the ceremony, we were told that someone would go around and ask the restaurant goers to try to keep noise levels down for the ceremony and that the outdoor music would be turned off until after. While we were so engrossed in our ceremony it did not bother us, a few of our guests did comment on the music still playing and it being a bit noisy and disruptive to them hearing the ceremony even though we discussed it a few times during our meetings and our initial tour. We also had a slight interruption during our ceremony due to a walkie talkie being left up front by the altar space.

We heard nothing but praise from the guests who stayed in the hotel, with a couple of great notes about the rooftop pool and hot tub, the breakfast at 1606, and the cleanliness. Our room block process was simple and easy and made it easy for all our guests traveling to be in one place. We took the shuttle the next day which was also convenient and a nice touch for guests. We are so happy we chose a place that we can return to for anniversary stays or just a meal with a view.

Overall, Beauport is such a special place to host your wedding, and we would 1000% recommend to anyone looking for a New England coastal vibe. Thank you Mindy and staff!

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
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
