Excellent!
We got married 8/25/23 at Cruiseport and our day was perfect. The food was delicious, the venue was beautiful, and they were so easy to work with. We also did the boat cruise for cocktail hour and it was the best decision. We loved it and our guests did as well.
We had Amy as our wedding coordinator, and she made my wedding vision a reality. The attention to detail was impeccable. I had so many questions during our 12 month planning process and Amy helped put my mind at ease. I couldn't have had a better coordinator. I can't thank her & her team enough. Our hearts are so full. Thank you Amy & Cruiseport 🤍 -

Cruiseport was the very first venue I looked at, and the last! We booked them right away (before we were even engaged because we loved them so much). Everyone we worked with there was fantastic. All of my vendors were very happy to work with Cruiseport as well calling them a "well-oiled machine," and they truly were. My coordinator, Sarah, was so sweet and kind. She even bustled my wedding dress for me, and I am forever grateful for her!!! Can't recommend the Cruiseport enough, I had the time of my life and would do it all over again with them as my venue team. -

Kendra W. Sent on 03/10/2024The best experience with Cruiseport Gloucester
My husband Mike and I had the BEST experience hosting our wedding at Cruiseport Gloucester. From our first meeting with our event manager, Nora we knew we were in good hands. Nora took the time to explain the process to us as we felt overwhelmed first getting started with wedding planning. Nora was so helpful during the months leading up to the wedding. We had numerous questions and Nora was always there to support and put us at ease. So responsive, professional, and truly a wonderful person. The day of our wedding could not have gone smoother. The decor was styled even better than how we imagined! Nora and the Cruiseport staff went above and beyond to arrange items exactly how we envisioned. The waitstaff and bar tenders were so attentive, professional, and wonderful. The next day our decor items were packed up and organized for us which made everything so easy and we felt so taken care of. Cruiseport Gloucester is the place for your wedding! Not only a beautiful location inside and out, the staff will make your day stress-free so you can enjoy your special. These guys are pros! -

Amazing, elegant venue!
I recently had both my ceremony and reception at Cruiseport Gloucester and I could not have been happier with the decision. It’s an absolutely stunning venue and the staff are phenomenal. Not only was the venue everything I hoped for, but we also received many complements about how great the food was. Our coordinator Sara was there every step of the way to answer my questions. She made sure everything went smoothly and I didn’t have to stress about a thing. She even dried off my veil after an unfortunate encounter with the wind sent it flying off my head and into the ocean! I could not recommend this venue any more highly.

Best venue imaginable!
Every single thing about our wedding at the Cruiseport was amazing! The attention to detail from our coordinator Sara was out of this world. She was beyond amazing to work with and ensured that we had the most beautiful day with as least stress as possible. The compliments from guests on all of the staff, the location, the views, and most importantly the food - was a 10/10 review across the board. I cannot recommend this venue enough! -

Cruiseport Gloucester was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! Our coordinator, Amy, did everything possible to make the planning smooth and stress-free. She really went above and beyond to make our day perfect, answering every little question (even the ones that were probably dumb!) and making sure we had a great plan for our day. The venue itself is so beautiful and the food is amazing. I am still having guests comment (months later!) on how it was the best wedding food they've ever had! Not to mention how much more affordable Cruiseport was than most other places we looked at on the North Shore -- and without skimping on any of the "luxury" stuff. It felt like everything we could want was already included in the price and handled so easily.
Have your wedding at Cruiseport Gloucester - you will not regret it! -

Amazing Experience
We had our wedding here in October of this year and this Venue was worth every penny. Amy was our coordinator and she was so organized and spot on when it came to all things wedding. We had a lot of small requests and she found a way to make it happen. Whether it was our "bubbles and brews" wall or making our signature drinks with special ingredients, there was nothing that they couldn't do. The venue is beautiful and our guests had the best time. I would recommend Amy and the Cruiseport to anyone looking to get married on the North Shore -

We got married at Cruiseport in July 2023. Our coordinator was Amy Ray. We loved our experience with Cruiseport! From the moment we toured, we felt it was the right fit for us. We were right on the water and the venue was modern, bright, and had a happy feeling. Amy was excellent to work with and made everything extremely easy from the initial planning days all the way through to our last dance on our wedding night. We loved the easy to access deck that our guests utilized throughout the night. The venue space was extremely flexible. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at Cruiseport and each space felt separate and unique, while making it easy for our guests to arrive and be stationed in one spot. We organized our rehearsal dinner with Cruiseport, too, which allowed us to have our rehearsal aboard Beauport Cruiselines that allowed for the most gorgeous sunset cruise of Gloucester Harbor. The food for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding was to die for and extremely *beyond* accommodating for dietary restrictions, especially gluten free needs. Something we really loved about Cruiseport was that after our ceremony they had an entire cocktail hour spread for the wedding party and cocktails/drinks ready to go for us. They also had drinks poured and passed around throughout the cocktail hour for our guests. We received a lot of feedback that the h’ourdervous were plentiful and delicious and the bar was quick and efficient. We loved Cruiseport and highly recommend it! Amy did everything and created a stress-free day that felt seamless by all. Thank you, Cruiseport! -

Best venue ever!
If I had to do our wedding over 100 times I would pick Cruiseport every time. Through the venue search we found that many places had hidden fees or felt pressured into booking right away. We never felt that way with Cruiseport. They are very reasonably priced and their packages come with so much. The ballroom itself is gorgeous and can be decorated to fit any vision. My favorite part was working with Kristen B. She is THE BEST!! She made us feel so comfortable through the whole process, answered my millions of emails, and made sure everything was perfect. I forgot my wedding cake the morning of and she was about to go to a bakery to get one for me. People like Kristen are so hard to find especially to work with. I am beyond thankful for her and the staff at Cruiseport. You truly made our wedding day perfect. It wouldn't have been possible without you!!!! xoxo Kelly & Chris -

My husband and I just had our wedding at the cruiseport in January and it was BEYOND amazing. When I was looking at venues, I actually was really hesitant to book this venue because I knew it was a popular location for people that have grown up on the Northshore. I am so glad I didn't listen to that thought and went and looked at it. From our initial visit with Kristen at the crusieport we immediately fell in love with the space. It holds well over 200 people, is absolutely stunning and having the Beauport hotel in such close proximity was an extra bonus. It was very clear to me after seeing this venue why it was such a popular place for people to get married at. The price was also very fair and competitive allowing us to put more of our budget into some killer vendors. The food was delicious, came out timely and was hot as it was served! The venue and staff just hit EVERY mark I gave them (which was alot). I didn't have to worry about timing, or anything running behind because they were such a well oiled professional machine! If I could go back and do my wedding all over again, I honestly wouldn't change one thing about it. It was just beyond perfect. We were also so lucky to have an amazing wedding coordinator provided from the Cruiseport and I really couldn't imagine my day without Kristen's help! She has a great eye for style, understood my vision right away and helped me make it happen. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. We just had the best weekend of our lives and it was thanks to you and all your team's hard work!
I wouldn't be true to myself if I didn't have one small complaint. The bar has to close after 4.5 hours. Which does fly by. I do wish they had a longer liquor license. BUT I can tell you that we extended our wedding an extra hour because we loved our band and no one was missing the bar once it closed. We made sure to tell people to go get their last drinks and put them at their table before it closed. I wouldn't get too hung up on this point just one area I wish they would improve on.
10/10 Recommend!
Thank you all for making our day beyond perfect! -

Dreamy Winter Wedding
This January my husband and I had the winter wedding of our dreams at the Cruiseport Gloucester. Although I had always dreamt of a summer wedding due to COVID and timing I decided to go with a winter wedding and I wouldn’t change a thing about it. As soon as I walked into Cruiseport for my first tour with Kristen Barrett I knew This venue was for me and Kristen was for me. Working with Kristen made wedding planning seamless, enjoyable and fun. She knew every detail there was from best north shore vendors to best hors d’oeuvres and menu items to fit our and our guests needs. The food at the Cruiseport is also amazing and the bar service and drinks are unmatched. The rest of the staff at the Cruiseport was also outstanding they were so accommodating day of with set up and break down which makes your day just that much more perfect and stress free. Leading up to and day of my wedding Kristen was with me every step of the way. Without her guidance and passion for weddings and this beautiful venue this day would not have been possible. Having the Beauport hotel so close for guests to stay at is also a huge bonus. -

Liza D. Sent on 04/21/2022Amazing experience!
We had an amazing wedding at the Cruiseport! We toured the venue in 2020, booked our original date for 2021, and postponed to 2022. Over those two years, Kristen & the Cruiseport team were upfront and easy to work with. One of the things I love most about this venue is that they truly want to make the process easy for their couples. There are no hidden fees, sneaky contract language, etc. The planning process was flexible and easy, and Kristen and her team were happy to give decor suggestions or look into any ideas I had. Our wedding day couldn't have been better, and a lot of that is due to the Cruiseport. They truly brought my vision to life. Everything that I had been planning in my head looked even better in person. The food was amazing, and the staff was professional and so nice. Everyone was raving about how amazing the venue and staff were. Kristen was a pro with some last minute changes and made sure everything was just right. If you're thinking about booking this venue, do it! -

About a month ago, we had the most magical wedding ever at Cruiseport Gloucester!! We had our ceremony and reception in the grand ballroom with cocktail hour aboard Beauport Cruiselines' beautiful boat. Let me tell you, my guests still can't stop raving about the wedding! We honestly couldn’t have done it without our event manager, Francesca. She is the reason why our wedding went so smoothly, from beginning to end, and even made the planning stages as stress-free as it possibly could be. Francesca really knows her stuff and gave us advice on everything from décor to food to guests, and it all turned out beautifully. The venue was spectacular, the staff was wonderful, and I was told by our guests that the food was among the best they've had at a wedding (we had the filet mignon and salmon). My vendors and guests can’t stop complimenting on how smoothly everything went, and my bridal party can’t stop praising Francesca for how great she was throughout the entire night. I can honestly say because of Francesca’s experience in planning and managing weddings, we had the most enjoyable time planning our wedding, and an even better time at the wedding. Many people have asked if we’re glad the wedding is over with the stress of planning it and all, and we both definitely agree that we’re truly sad it’s over because it was the best time of our lives thus far! We wish we could do it all again! Thank you, Francesca – we are eternally grateful!! -Veasna & Pek -
