Wedding memories for a lifetime!

There simply are no words to express our experience in planning, preparing and experiencing the incredible wedding weekend celebration for our daughter, Sally Jarmusz, to LtJG Austin Ford. Newagen Seaside Inn not only made the process completely stress free, they succeeded in delivering the most magical wedding we could have ever hoped for our daughter and son-in-law. The planning process with Maura Nicholson was thoughtful, responsive, informative, and helpful. The Planning Pod made capturing all the itinerary, meal selections, RSVPs, and details very easy. Invoices were handled so well. We were able to extend our stay through a four night holiday weekend making travel much easier for our family and friends in a beautiful vacation destination. Being a local midCoast Maine resident of Georgetown, it brought so much joy to see our community shine. It brought to life our memories of our daughter's work on the Eastwind, boating, our All Saints parish, and our guests delighted in this. The transition from planning to execution under the expert guidance of Maura and then Tiffany Randle, we felt well cared for as parents & wedding couple. The vision that Sally & Austin prepared for was fully on view throughout the wedding weekend. Newagen Seaside Inn provided the perfect backdrop. To say quintessential Maine feels cliche because it is so much more. It is Abbie and the front desk crew providing truly warm greetings and assistance throughout the weekend, and Tian and the bar crew expertly offering refreshments and connection to the guests. We had up to 160 guests attending events all weekend. The quality and speed of service kept refreshments in moderation and all enjoying every moment. It was incredible to watch the orchestration. Every transition, meal, and offering was timely and smooth. The staff made it look effortless even though it was clear so much work and preparation went into every event. From the Welcome Parties, to the Lobster Bake, S'mores and bonfires to the exquisite reception, the crew was warm, kind, helpful and offered the very best in hospitality and quality of service. Each event was a delight. From the moment we arrived on Thursday, it just rolled without a single worry. Every time I needed any assistance or had a quick question, Abbie and Tiffany were there with the expert answer & anticipating every need. The lobster bake rehearsal dinner served 113, and it was absolutely delicious. So loved by all. The Cape Harbor Room reception & cocktail hour at the gazebo were fantastic. The food, refreshments and service were exquisite. My personal favorite course with the scallop second course. I have never had a better scallop in all my life! Perfection! The pub menu, Summer Picnic & breakfasts were incredible. So yummy & delightful. The extended times for guests to arrive & eat made it so easy to visit with everyone and feel like we got to connect with and enjoy each person that attended. The Pine Room, lodgings, grounds, dock, pool, and gathering areas were perfect. We felt like we were in our own home away from home celebrating with family. The shuttle & golf cart made the days especially stress free for driving the wedding party to Boothbay, cottage drop offs after the reception, and guests that needed support around the property. The sunsets over Georgetown from Rachel Carson's special rocks brought an incredible feeling to every evening. If we could do it all over again, we would!

Perfect wedding weekend

We recently got married at the Newagen Seaside Inn, and we can only express great things. Every detail was perfect. The grounds/inn were beautiful, the food was delicious, the staff were beyond attentive and kind, and the vibe was laid back but elegant. Every guest came up to us remarking at how perfect the weekend was (the Pine Room is such a big hit), and many remarked at how the Newagen is a hidden gem they had never heard of. Maura, Tiffany, and Abby were amazing points of contact throughout the entire process and made the entire wedding planning process as smooth as possible. Growing up in Maine, I always dreamed of getting married on the Maine Coast and Newagen allowed for that dream to come true. We will certainly be back for our anniversaries. It truly was the perfect weekend at Newagen.

Great Service!

I cannot say enough about this incredible venue. From the beautiful property, to the attentive and friendly staff, Newagen made our entire wedding weekend smooth and seamless. Newagen offers all the charm of a small quaint Maine Inn with the delivery and professionalism of a large well run venue. Maura was amazing and responsive with the booking of the venue and sales process. She was so responsive in answering all my questions and helping us navigate putting the weekend structure together. The reins were smoothly handed over to Tiffany as the weekend got closer and she ensured everything ran smoothly through the weekend. We held a lobster bake Friday evening, ceremony and reception Saturday and a farewell breakfast Sunday morning. Every single aspect was flawless. Tiffany and her team kept things running on time, making sure everything I brought (decorations and the like) was put out so that my husband and I could just spend time with friends and family. It felt that every time I had a concern or a question, I could ask Tiffany and she'd have already thought of it/handled it. I truly cannot say enough about how amazing the staff was. From the front desk staff, managers, coordinators to the waiters, everyone made us and our guests feel at home, taken care of and special. My husband and I will definitely be returning to celebrate anniversaries and will recommend this venue to anyone. The property has so much to offer guests (pool, pickle ball, sunset path) and is not far from the cute downtown harbor and local sites like the coastal Maine botanical gardens. The chef was fantastic and the food was delicious. Highly recommend going to their pub for a bite if you are in the area and are considering this venue.
