There is no better place to get married than Viewpoint! We fell in love with it the first time we saw it and knew no other place would compare. The team was great through every step of the process. Haven and Aly are the BEST! We love them and could not have asked for better people to work with. They made sure our day was absolutely perfect. We could not have imagined a better day. We had the most memorable weekend with our family and friends (who still cannot stop talking about our wedding day weeks later). Viewpoint feels like a second home to us now and we will be back as much as we possibly can!

When we toured the Viewpoint in March of 2023, the Venue was undergoing a major site overhaul. The entire lawn was dug up for concrete pouring - for what is now the shoreside rooms looking toward nubble light.

To say we took a gamble on booking and what the outcomes of construction would be - was an understatement. There were projected timelines for multiple projects underway - 1.) the Nevada hotel - complete renovation. 2.) the 7 shoreside rooms at the viewpoint, full site trenching and build out 3.) new bathrooms and restaurant space next to the reception tent on property, and 4.) re-engineering the drainage on the site and installing turf under the reception tent (water retention had been an issue with the grass under the tent - because of the elevation of the reception lawn).

Our wedding date was booked for June 20, 2024 and we signed out contract in April 2023. There was no way to know that the Viewpoint would live up to such a tall order of upgrades over a short amount of time - but we proceeded nonetheless.

When we arrived on our wedding day - we were greeted with champagne (one of the beverages they have on tap at the front desk) the front desk structure was ALSO completely new-- a task the venue completed in addition to the aforementioned upgrades.

A team of three checked us in, hailed a golf carts to hand deliver all of our luggage concierge-style to our rooms, and set in motion the most blissful weekend of our lives.

We took swims in the saltwater pool - our guests sat seaside under the small sail cloth tent that shelters Little Auk - the airstream style outdoor restaurant (also new) and we lounged in luxury in the freshly built shoreside rooms. These new rooms by the way - are nothing short of well thought out and luxurious in their features, finishes, and view of the nubble light.

The staff and owner are hungry to put this place on the map and are hustling behind the scenes to make it happen. Not only did they live up to the gauntlet of upgrades they laid out for themselves to achieve in a year, but the attentiveness and kindness of the entire team was unparalleled throughout the process and shifting areas of unknown.

When the wedding day came - we found the convenience of being on site the BEST. One of my favorite parts of the day was spending five minutes one-on-one with my husband after our ceremony to share a cocktail and hors d'oeuvres privately in our room before the nighttime party began.

The upgrades truly were tested on our wedding day - when the forecasted Weather became that of biblical proportions for the reception. Never could I have imagined that a weekday in June in Maine would result in 90 degree temperatures for morning photographs, followed by unprecedented hail thunder and lighting during dinner and dancing.

By the grace of the universe, a breeze cooled our guests during the ceremony - which was an endurable 80 / 85 temp, until cloud cover came for cocktail hour making things much more pleasant. At about 5:20pm the skies decided they had had enough of the heat wave, and erupted into a full blown hailstorm.

The team immediately went into action, they escorted guests to their seats and began attaching clear sides onto the tent to protect the band, the equipment and the tables. They removed the sides blocking the vista, which allowed some breeze to come through (much needed) but were active in zipping them up or down again as precipitation persisted or lessened.

I had rented 100 clear umbrellas, that the property team placed outside the new bathroom structure adjacent to the tent, and handed off to guests to walk back and forth seamlessly without getting wet.

Lightning and thunder boomed through my husand and I's first dance to "I don't wanna miss a thing" by Aerosmith. In many a case, this is a wedding event's worst nightmare, but to us it was a cinematic backdrop to a day we ended up enjoying - because of how prepared the property and staff was for this level of weather.

The true test for me was the how the turf would hold up under such a saturating storm. The drainage under the tent worked perfectly - and was a true blessing for the conditions of the day. The turf under our feet stayed dry the entire night, our guests danced to the close of the evening, everyone was buzzing.

My feedback is thus - this venue is going to climb to be one of the premiere venues in Maine in the coming years. Book it fast and book it quickly for a premium experience at a property that is still growing its experience and rates.

Do not expect the Viewpoint to be anything close to your current understanding of the word "Hotel." It is not a building with a ballroom/ elevators/ identical units. This is a one-of-a-kind, network of amenity spaces, that compose a private wedding campus. It is its own fingerprint and mold, it is quaint, and most impressionably- it is a completely different place than we toured in 2023.

The viewpoint is a venue that bets on itself, on its people and on its couples. If it can accomplish the promises it set up for itself to achieve in a year, no one can predict what this property and business owner will push itself to achieve in the wedding seasons to come.

As I write this review, I am sure changes and improvements are already in the works to continue to evolve this place, the experience and the value of this space as a venue for couples. It was a true privilege to get married here.

Thank you to the staff again! We look forward to coming back to visit.

We were so over the moon with our wedding at The Viewpoint! The entire staff was so lovely all weekend. It is so nice seeing the same faces throughout the whole weekend. Our guests were blown away by the hotel and the amenities! Aly was our day of coordinator but she did SO much more planning than just day of. She helped facilitate all the vendors and she is the best person to have beside you on your big day! You are in good hands at The Viewpoint!
