Robert J. Sent on 06/10/2024Wedding 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! -

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. -

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. -

Best of the best!
The whole Newagan team is spectacular and we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect wedding weekend, from the team, to the venue, to the food and drinks. We will forever be grateful to Newagen for such a fantastic weekend. -

A dream celebration weekend!
Newagen was the perfect fit for us, as we knew we wanted to get married in a place that reminded me of home (I grew up in midcoast Maine), but had the ability to host all our family and friends. You and your guests are the only ones on site when you book a wedding weekend there, which turned out to be even more important as we postponed our original plans due to the pandemic and finally had our celebration this summer. I will say that booking all the rooms can be a challenge financially for some guests, and logistically for us as the couple, but it all turned out to be worth it.
We were able to host an outdoor welcome BBQ and have our ceremony by the water exactly as I had dreamed. All catering is on site which takes some of the stress out of needing additional vendors - and the food was delicious! Our reception under the tent was fantastic and the staff - Maura, Sandy, and Abby and the rest of the team made us all feel so welcome and taken care of during the weekend. Newagen is truly a stunning location, and we were able to be in the moment with our family and friends exactly as we had dreamed! -

Aimee Sent on 06/26/2019Amazing place to get married!!
Such an amazing weekend!!! One of the most important things my husband and I were looking at when choosing a venue was a place where our family and friends could make our own for the weekend and we absolutely got that at Newagen!! Between the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and wedding itself we truly felt like we made the property our own and got lots of meaningful time with everyone. The scenery speaks for itself, the food at the Inn was great, but what really made the weekend perfect was the outstanding service at Newagen. Sandy Timberlake the wedding coordinator was always responsive to my constant emailing prior to the wedding and went above and beyond to take care of all of the set up for the weekend to ensure everything ran smoothly so I (and my sister and mother) could enjoy themselves. Abby the general manager is also wonderfully kind and even swooped in to pick up guests when our planned transportation had some hiccups. The bartenders, servers, and other staff were also so thoughtful and kind and did everything they could to make guests really feel at home! Only thing I wish is that we could do it all over again!!! -

Maria P. Sent on 08/23/2019The most wonderful wedding weekend
I can’t believe I haven’t posted my review! It’s been over a year since our wedding weekend in June, but our friends and family still talk about how much fun they had. Though I am biased, I have been told by many that ours was the best wedding they had ever been to and I would have to agree! After our first meeting with Cheri, I knew that Newagen was THE place, and that was even on a cloudy day in October. She welcomed us with open arms and allowed us to envision our special day at Newagen. I primarily worked with Sandy Timberlake who was a joy to work with. She helped us through the process and making deadlines. From the laid back classic perfectly executed lobster bake by the ocean, with the giant chess game and fire pit, to the outside cocktail hour and wedding reception inside. The old school bowling and billiard room was the perfect post wedding party with snacks. Everything was executed perfectly. We ended with brunch the following morning. Also, the inn was newly renovated and all the cottages were fresh and inviting! I have the fondest memories and Newagen and the staff! Cheri and Sandy were amazing and anyone would be lucky to have their wedding weekend at this gorgeous Maine Inn.Newagen Seaside Inn's reply:
Thank you, Maria! You and Andy were so fun to work with and your families were amazing. Sandy's daughter is in school in New Orleans and she's trying to get her to go see your brother's band! Can't wait to see you guys back here on property! -

Greg Sent on 05/20/2014As a wedding planner myself I searched far and wide looking for the perfect wedding location, dragging my fiancé to over 30 venues from the coast to the lakes region to the summit peaks... The Newagen Seaside Inn felt like the perfect fit as soon as we drive over the gorgeous swing bridges and tree lined driveway.
Our wedding was spectacular, being in the business we had very high expectations and the Newagen and their very friendly staff did a wonderful job executing our wedding. Please know no wedding is perfect, and hickups do come up along the way which leads to a great story down the road but the Newagen was very professional with handling each situation.
The biggest compliment is when your guests are atill talking about your wedding almost a year later! The food was fabulous, farm to table, fresh and the presentation was outstanding! Jessica and Jeremy were very responsive on the day of and handled my very demanding family with ease. We are looking forward to going back to the Newagen for our anniversary years to come! -
User980587 Sent on 10/19/2012My wedding was perfect! I can't imagine a more beautiful venue and incredible staff. My guests were amazed at everything from the organization, service, food and beauty. I cannot say enough good things. Newagen staff is exceptional. We truly had a fairy tale wedding here. -
User1015243 Sent on 11/14/2012The staff at Newagen was wonderful to work with, particularly Jessica and Jason. Very flexible, easy to interact with, and professional. For those of us that don't live locally, they gave fabulous advice on local vendors and services. lnd the location is beautiful! I can't imagine a better place to have a wedding. -
User876477 Sent on 07/25/2012Wonderful! It's a beautiful spot with delicious food. And we couldn't have been happier with Jessica and the whole staff at Newagen. They were fantastically helpful and responsive throughout all the preparations for our wedding. On the big day, we felt incredibly comfortable leaving all the details in Jessica's hands and were really able to relax and enjoy every minute of our wedding!
