Oceanview

Attended a wedding/​reception here on Saturday and discovered a hidden gem of a venue. The wedding was performed on the lawn overlooking the ocean — the walk up the gravel drive to get there was a challenge in high heels, but the bride and the elderly/​handicapped were driven up. Lovely interior design and lighting, nothing cheezy about Oceanview. Friendly and professional bartenders and waitstaff, great food and drinks, and spotless. The building has gorgeous views and decks on the ocean side. Even the DJ, who came with the package, was great. Someone needs to get married so I can go again. :-)

My wife and I had our wedding reception here 9÷6÷13. It was incredible. The room and the views are beautiful. The food was delicious and there were lots of great options. My wife and I both work at upscale hotels in Boston (many of our guests do as well) and we strive to be as hospitable as The Oceanview was to us. All of our guests have ranted and raved about this place since.
We also originally booked with the original owners (Al was great!) and before our date the new owners (Michael and Brenda) came in. Naturally, we were a little bit worried about the transition. However, it was seamless. The new owners are awesome. They honored everything and then some. They also tastefully renovated the room. They updated many things there but still managed to keep that charm of the place that we originally booked. We ended up making out great on the transition. We highly recommend The Oceanview!

I had my wedding here back in March 2012 and was more than pleased with my experience both during the preparation and day of our wedding. Al is THEE best! Not only is he sweet, but also extremely helpful when it came to all of the planning. He provided several great vendor referrals and had the entire day mapped out by the half hour for both us and our vendors so everyone was on the same page and organized. Paula is another fabulous Oceanview worker. She handles things such as flowers, centerpieces, linen colors etc. She was helpful in deciding in these categories and when I saw the room all put together the night of my wedding, it was so beautiful and I credit her to the linens and flower pieces in both the dining hall and bar area for cocktail hour. Ralph (room captain) was helpful during the day/​night of our wedding also. He was great at keeping things in a timely manner. Susan (our cocktail waitress) as well as the rest of the staff gave impeccable service. She took care of our needs as well as other important people in our wedding party and family. She was attentive and great. Overall, the Oceanview was the perfect place for our wedding. It is the best view of the ocean, awesome service and well priced. Taking into consideration for all the crazy fees wedding venues charge these days, the Oceanview strictly charges sales tax. Gratuity is included the prices listed and no extra fees are charged at all. It was great! So pleased! Wish i could relive that day again and partly because my venue was so amazing!

The Oceanview of Nahant is the place to have your wedding and/​or reception! (We had both our ceremony and reception here on April 30, 2011). Al, Paula and Ralph were all so wonderful to deal with! They are definitely detail-​oriented and they do such a great job of taking care of you, that you do not need to worry about a thing! Their preferred vendor list was also incredibly helpful, we ended up using their preferred DJ, hotel and limo, and their recommendations were simply top notch! (please note that the Oceanview does not require you to use their preferred vendors, it is optional). The food that they serve is simply incredible, everyone commented on how delicious the hors d’oeuvres were as well as the dinner! Their wedding packages include so many things, and there are so many little details that the Oceanview attends to, they made everything look so beautiful! The venue itself is very nice looking, and the view of the ocean is simply gorgeous. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a terrific wedding venue. This family-​owned establishment is simply perfect. Thank you to Al, Paula and Ralph, you made our wedding perfect!

I recently attended a wedding that had its reception at the Oceanview in Nahant, MA. I agree the place could use some updating but the views, decks, and staff more than make up for it. The bartenders were phenomenal (to the point that I don’t remember their names.) and even as the reception was ending you never felt any pressure from the staff to leave. Check it out if you want a seaside reception.
