Makenzie and her team at the Harbor View were absolutely amazing! She was incredibly helpful from day 1, from helping us pick other vendors, to making sure that we had everything we needed for our big day. Like a lot of couples trying to get married in 2020, we had to adjust our plans and switch our reception date. The Harbor View was very easy to work with during this process as well. The day of the reception was more spectacular than we could have ever dreamed, and we did not have to worry about a single thing with Makenzie and her team there to help. They were incredibly efficient and professional. To top it off, the food was delicious. We still have guests who are talking about it. I cannot recommend the Harbor View enough as a wedding venue. You will not be disappointed!

I can't rave enough about the level of service and overall experience that my husband and I received at the Harbor View! As a luxury wedding photographer who has worked with top-tier venues across New England, I had extremely high expectations for our own wedding vendors. Needless to say, the team at the Harbor View did not disappoint! We knew we wanted a full weekend experience for our guests, at a location on the water where everyone could stay and gather throughout the weekend. It was clear from the very beginning that Makenzie and her team were there to help us not only make that happen, but to help create a unique experience that didn't feel like "just another wedding". As our planning evolved over the months leading up, the team was always responsive and helpful with those developments. We had a wonderful experience with the Harbor View leading up to the wedding, but still couldn't have anticipated JUST how incredible the weekend turned out to be. We truly felt like VIP's. The food was incredible, many of our guests extended their stays because they loved it that much, and the hotel truly feels like our little home away from home getaway now. If we could do it all again, we would without a doubt have our wedding at the Harbor View Hotel again! The hotel and team were a highlight of our wedding experience, and we already can't wait to spend many, many anniversaries (and any other excuse we can find) back at the hotel!

Our goal was to find a venue near the water, where we could have our ceremony and reception, and had after party options within walking distance. Check, check, check. My wife and I searched all over Eastern Massachusetts but the first venue we visited was the Harbor View. It should have been the last.
The Harbor View itself is a beautiful venue. The view from the gazebo where we got married is even more incredible. And downtown Edgartown is quintessential New England.
Makenzie and her team were available from the moment we reached out. She was prepared with a detailed packet that covered everything from food and drink options to suggested vendors for whatever the Harbor View does not offer (from DJs to florists). Everything was transparent, including costs, which is so important for a wedding so you know what to expect, and the Harbor View team always had helpful thoughts and suggestions. We can’t say enough good things about them.
We were able to keep all of our decorations and flowers simple to emphasize the venue. Our guests raved about the hors d'oeuvres, dinner, and the open bar. Some joked the wedding should be in a magazine.
Long story short: If you want a coastal New England wedding at an incredible venue, your first call should be to the Harbor View Hotel. You won’t regret it.

From the very first email and phone call with Makenzie from the Harbor View Hotel, Tom and I knew we were in good hands when it came to our wedding.

Makenzie was a joy to work with, even with the challenges of 2020 that forced us to postpone our wedding to 2021. Makenzie kept in touch with any upcoming changes and needs as we got closer to the wedding weekend. When we finally arrived on the Vineyard, there were no more things to plan - it was just time to enjoy and celebrate. Mackenzie and Shanon took over the details and our wedding was incredible.

Our wedding weekend was simply amazing. We had our welcome party in the Bettini Club, the food was delicious and the staff were amazing. We felt taken care of in every facet and felt like celebrities the week of the wedding, every person working expressed congratulations and made us feel surrounded by joy the entire time we were at the Harbor View.

Mackenzie’s carefully curated vendor list allowed us to connect and meet wonderful people. Tom and I wanted to have local vendors and thanks to Makenzie’s list we had the best vendors and made some great friendships as well.

Overall the Harbor View Hotel was the best location for our wedding and truly is one of our favorite places to return to.

My wife and I were looking for a New England destination where our guests could have a full weekend experience without compromising the event itself. With its beautiful setting overlooking the mouth of Edgartown Harbor, we knew the Harbor View Hotel was a perfect match for our vision. From our first inquiry, the hotel and event staff treated us tremendously well and that continued all the way through the wedding weekend. A few of my favorite highlights from the wedding and the Harbor View over all: The food and beverages are spectacular — from the raw bar, rehearsal dinner menus, cocktails, and the wedding entrees, I was blown away how well the weekend was catered. Our reception was under a tent in the lawn behind the main building, the music was fantastic and all of the transitions of the night were seamless due to the staff’s foresight and event expertise. The hotel was very tastefully renovated a few years ago and the continued maintenance is even more impressive, this hotel is very well managed. The hotel’s location makes for an easy walk into Edgartown where our guests continued celebrating. Lastly, we had a handful of guests extend their stays at the Harbor View Hotel to continue exploring the island and enhance their weekend experience. Overall, my wife and I feel that our wedding was absolutely perfect and we are very grateful to the team at the Harbor View Hotel.

Mackenzie was instrumental in helping Megan and I create the perfect Micro-Wedding. The intimate setting, food, flowers, and experience blew our expectations.

We strongly encourage others to consider Harborview because it’s perfect!

Makenzie and her team did an outstanding job with our wedding. We had to postpone due to Covid and the move was seamless. Throughout the planning we had lots of questions as I had a very specific vision I was going for and Makenzie ran with it and created magic. Thank you everyone for making our day so special!!

Makenzie and the Harbor View team went above and beyond our expectations, even through planning and replanning during Covid. Two years later, the staff was so kind, patient and made everything a masterpiece! Makenzie Wall is so organized, thoughtful and a true professional -- she is one of a kind. We couldn't recommend the Harbor View enough!

Makenzie and her team went above and beyond to make our wedding day the best day! From the very beginning, Makenzie was responsive, professional, and flexible. Not only is the venue beautiful, the meal was incredible. I did not want the day and night of our wedding to end. We couldn’t have asked for a better Venue or team to work with than Makenzie and her team!

While many couples decided to postpone their wedding dates until 2021, my husband and I were confident that we would still be able to have our dream wedding at the Harbor View Hotel. The amazing relationship we formed with Events Coordinator Makenzie Wall during the planning process gave us immense confidence that despite the changes handed to us by the virus, the responsiveness, professionalism and creativity of Makenzie and her team would allow us to still have an unforgettable wedding weekend. Their dedication to ensuring our September 26, 2020 wedding cannot be overstated! We feel so lucky to have had our wedding festivities at the hotel and were truly blown away by how flawless the rehearsal dinner, wedding reception and post-wedding brunch were. The team created a seamless and memorable weekend for us and our families and we cannot recommend them enough!

It's no secret that the Harbor View Hotel is an absolutely breathtaking place to get married - from the picturesque waterfront and lighthouse views to the perfectly manicured landscaping - everything about the hotel is classic and perfect. The kindness and professionalism of the staff however, is what will stay with us forever. We truly attribute the seamlessness of all the wedding events to their hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine kindness. They are committed to making your experience amazing – and they certainly did for us and our families!

Makenzie and her service team were with us the entire weekend – incredibly well-prepared, hospitable, and accommodating to all of our guests needs. Absolutely every detail was handled with immense attention to detail and care. From the signature cocktails to the impeccable menu (all of our guests are still raving about the food!), we were so impressed by the quality of the meals as well as the service. Guests were never without a drink and every need and request was met with a helpful and friendly demeanor. The Harbor View Hotel also has strong relationships with the vendor community on Martha’s Vineyard so I felt totally comfortable knowing that Makenzie would be in close contact with integral vendors such as, the photographer and florist for any “day of” last minute details or changes.

There was never a doubt in our mind that hosting a wedding at the Harbor View Hotel would be unforgettable, but I can say wholeheartedly that they made our wedding an absolute fairytale and we are still gushing over how amazing it was. Run – don’t walk to say “I Do” at the View!!
