10/10 Reception Venue!

We had our wedding reception at Steeple Hall for 140 guests and would highly recommend it! We chose the venue in part for the delicious food from Mission Oak, and several guests complimented how great it was. The venue coordinator Nik was attentive and flexible, and he and his team did an amazing job setting up the space and making sure we had a perfect day. The location in downtown Newburyport can't be beat, and the pricing was also very reasonable compared to other venues we visited. We loved it :)

An amazing experience

Nikolas and his team at Steeple Hall made our dream wedding come true! Nik was EXTREMELY patient with us during the planning process and helped us with everything! His team was always so friendly and accommodating especially towards the end when my mother and I were all over the place! The venue was beautiful and more stunning than I could imagine. Nik was easily available during the whole wedding and checked on us to make sure everything was perfect. We highly recommend Steeple Hall for any celebration!

A Gem of a Venue!

What a great experience! From our first meeting with Nik at Steeple Hall, we knew we were in good hands. Leading up to the wedding he was always responsive, accommodating and on top of his game.
Nik has the gift of helping everyone feel comfortable and kept me calm knowing everything was under control.
The day of our wedding, Nik and his team didn’t miss a step. They went above and beyond for us, attending to all the little details, and keeping everything running smoothly. My guests all commented on the beauty of the venue (they handled the set up of the decor and the room looked so pretty) and the incredible food. It is cooked in the restaurant onsite, and they were able to easily add apps as my guests came hungry. People are still raving about those Lamb Lollipops!
Newburyport is a great location for a wedding weekend and Steeple Hall is in walking distance to the waterfront. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Perfect day start to finish!

We had our wedding at Steeple Hall in June of 2023 and it was an absolutely amazing experience! From the day we booked our date to the day after our wedding, Nik (wedding coordinator) was SO helpful and such a calming presence throughout our experience. Nik coordinated with all of our vendors to make the days and weeks leading up to the big day smooth and as stress free as possible for us. The service provided throughout the day was amazing and our families commented on how great the food was and how nice and helpful all of the staff was. We are so happy that we picked Steeple Hall as our venue and so grateful for the experience overall!

The Most Perfect Day

Never in our lives could we have imagined a more perfect day. Weddings at Steeple Hall are a couple's dream come true thanks to Nik (wedding coordinator) and his staff. Our wedding day went off without a hitch as Nik went above and beyond to make our day special, stress free and memorable. 
From our first meeting with Nik, to the day after our wedding when we said goodbye, he made us feel like we were the only couple he was working with. Nik coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors (florist, music, transportation, dessert catering, calligrapher) and made sure that anything behind the scenes was taken care of. He answered every email I sent throughout the process promptly, and often assured me that everything would be taken care of - which it was (this is coming from a Type A bride)! 
Once again, I cannot stress enough how perfect the day went. Nik was there for us every step of the way, making sure that we ate our appetizers from cocktail hour, and drinking our signature drinks!
Days after our event, guests were still talking about how amazing the food was and how perfect of a setting Newburyport, MA was (we got married in late October). We cannot recommend this venue enough - it brings tears to our eyes every time we reflect on our special day. Thank you times a million to Nik and his staff!

Hidden Gem in Newburyport!

My husband and I just had our wedding at this venue this past August. The wedding coordinator (Nik Kedian) was terrific! He’s very friendly, organized, professional and a phenomenal communicator (always made himself available for a phone call and responsive via email). We had tremendous confidence in him and it’s one of the main reasons why we chose the venue. The other two primary reasons is that the venue is beautiful (it’s a hidden gem) and the food is excellent (we are harsh critics and confirm it’s great). All of our 100+ guests raved to us how beautiful the venue was and the food (food comes from the restaurant downstairs - go there for dinner!). Thank you again Nik along with all of the wonderful staff. We will always remember you all and your generosity making a rainy day nothing short of perfect!

We could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding reception. From touring the venue, to picking out our menu, thru the wedding day, Janet and her team at Steeple Hall were AMAZING! Janet answered all of my emails within the same day, met with us on site on multiple occasions, coordinated arrival and setup with all of our vendors for us, setup and broke down everything (including all the DIY decor I brought), and really made the day so so special. Because of her I was able to relax and fully enjoy the day, knowing that everything was already taken care of! All of the staff there was amazing, the food is exceptional, and the location can't be beat!

Overall our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception was a huge success. We had an offsite ceremony in Newburyport then our guests were ushered along to Mission Oak Grill for cocktail hour and hors d'oeuvres, the food was AMAZING, the drinks were flowing and everyone was raving about how much food there was, the quality and how much fun the cocktail hour was. After the cocktail hour we moved upstairs to Steeple Hall for our reception, the food and service was amazing too. Ashleigh and her staff did a great job. Ashleigh was easy to work with, responsive, helped us stay organized and was a true professional... I would highly recommend her and Mission Oak/Steeple Hill.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I worked with the team, led by Ashleigh and Kristen, in late September and it was a fulfilling experience. Their cooperation and hospitality made my job a lot easier and made me feel welcome and what is one of the top venues in the North Shore. Based on my observations, everything went off smoothly and in a timely fashion. The bride and groom along with all of their family and friends had such a memorable time!
