We had a small intimate wedding with 16 guests at the York Harbor Inn this October. Our wedding coordinator, Emily, was wonderfully responsive and helped us tailor our perfect day. We were able to spread out and enjoy the bridal suite in the Harbor Cliff suite with all needs being met. All staff were helpful and welcoming, and the service during dinner was attentive and friendly. Our guests were wowed by the elegant dining room and warmth of dinner together in the beautiful Peacock room. The food was especially delicious and enjoyed by all! It was a great overall experience and we would highly recommend this venue for a similar celebration.

My wife and I were married at the York Harbor Inn in August 2023 and it was a great experience start to finish. Our ceremony was at the Hartley Mason Reserve across the street which was very reasonably priced (through the York Harbor Inn) with breathtaking views of the coast. Our cocktail hour was in the Main Dining Room, reception in the Yorkshire Ballroom, and after party in the Ship Cellar Pub, with a total guest count of ~120.

Emily was amazing to work with and made the process really easy, being available to us throughout the year leading up to the wedding, including answering all our random emails and phone calls throughout that time. Leading up to the wedding, she helped make it very clear which decisions we needed to make and was organized with all the details, including showing us the difference in cost for certain options. She is clearly passionate about the work she does and was very knowledgeable about the different options available to us leading up to the wedding.

We were married on a Saturday and the process for the weekend was simple and easy, dropping off all decorations on Friday afternoon at check-in and the rest was taken care of by Emily's team as far as day of set-up. Emily was also helpful during the rehearsal, making sure everyone knew where they needed to be for the day of. Our wedding day itself could not have run smoother. Every detail had been considered and my wife and I were able to enjoy the day fully! Emily and her team met our vendors as they arrived and coordinated making sure everyone was in the right place at the right time. We loved the flow between the different spaces throughout the night and enjoyed the patio space available during the reception as a place for our guests to step out and get some fresh air.

The venue overall was great and our guests loved it. The variety of rooms available was helpful to accommodate all types of guests and guest budgets. Our guests also loved the location with the beach only a few minute walk down the road, the cozy Ship Cellar Pub right downstairs for grabbing a drink, and the stunning views and walking paths across the street. Our guests also raved about the dinner, with many commenting on how they were used to 'wedding food' at other weddings that was 'just OK' and being taken aback at how delicious the food at the York Harbor Inn was (our dinner options were Filet Mignon and Baked Stuffed Haddock).

Finally, it was so clear throughout the process that the staff at the York Harbor Inn had thought through every detail. There were so many nice touches including cleaning the bridal suite between getting ready that morning and coming back after the wedding and leaving us a bottle of champagne for afterwards. We never felt like we had to worry about oversights or forgetting anything because we were in such great hands!

We could go on and on but are both so glad we chose the York Harbor Inn for our wedding venue and look forward to returning to celebrate our anniversary!

Seriously, my now husband and I would give YHI a million stars if possible. When we got engaged in 2020 we knew we wanted to get married on the water, somewhere in York - a place near and dear to our hearts. The moment we toured YHI, with Paul, we KNEW this was OUR VENUE. We had to have it! Paul and the team - Emily, Bridget (so many to name) worked so diligently to ensure our day was the most special day of our lives. We will never be able to properly thank them for all their hard work. The venue is GORGEOUS - our ceremony was in the park across the street overlooking the ocean, cocktail hour in the front dining room area and our reception in the ballroom. We even had the option (which of course we went with) to rent out their ship cellar pub for the after party which was incredible and so much fun for our guests. Emily helped us work out the tiny kinks along the way and has an eye for detail when it came to setting up the space for us. Paul, one the most incredible humans we've ever met and had the pleasure of working with, was alongside us every step of the way. He made sure we were comfortable, hydrated, happy and having fun! He takes his job so seriously but in the most professional and fun way possible. All of our family and friends had the best things to say about their personal experiences with him on our big day and we couldn't agree more. All of our guests were SO impressed by how organized and timely the day was. The food was DELICIOUS - one of the many highlights - including the late night hot dogs & nachos ordered in the pub. If you're looking for a beautiful venue, look no further and expect GREATNESS when you're in Paul's hands.
