ViewPoint Hotel Reviews

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!

Choosing The ViewPoint Hotel as our August 2023 wedding venue was the best decision we made and absolutely MADE our wedding. It has a “wow” factor that will impress your guests from the moment they step onto the property until the minute they leave. Around 30% of our guests were not from New England, so we wanted them to have a true Maine experience, and what better way than having them spend the weekend on the beautiful rocky coastline while looking at the Nubble Lighthouse! Many of our guests are still saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and we know the property, staff, and view were a huge factor in creating that whole experience.

First of all, the property is absolutely breathtaking. We booked with the ViewPoint before they started their renovations in late 2022, but we saw renderings so we had an idea of what to expect. We were a bit nervous knowing that we wouldn’t see the final product until a few short months before our wedding day. Let me tell you, they exceeded our expectations! The addition of the new rooms, the new wedding ceremony space, and the incredible landscaping add a level of elegance that didn’t exist before. The existing hotel rooms are wonderful, and many upgrades were made over the last few months (flooring, furniture, etc.). But the real star of the show is the 7 new hillside rooms/cabanas. You have to see them for yourself…jaw-droppingly beautiful with very high-end finishes and technology. Your guests staying on property will be delighted with the rooms.

Now, onto the staff…the people you will work with at Viewpoint are the highest-caliber professionals who will do everything to make sure your wedding day is exactly how you picture it. We decided to use the ViewPoint’s Day-Of-Coordinator service and worked closely with Haven throughout the planning process. I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. Haven is super friendly, helpful, funny, accommodating, and reliable…it was easy to trust her in helping us plan our perfect day. She was available to answer questions via email or hop on the phone whenever needed. On the day of the wedding, everything ran so smoothly thanks to Haven (and Aly and the rest of the team!). Haven is a true pro and coordinated the day’s schedule and every vendor so that we didn’t have to worry about a thing and could focus on being present with our family and friends. The staff set everything up for the ceremony and reception and broke it all down at the end of the night. One thing to note is the property does not have an indoor space in case of rain, but there are several rain-plan options (additional ceremony tent, umbrellas, etc.) so just make sure you’re OK with that scenario. We were fine with the rain-plan, but fortunately had beautiful weather. In summary, if you’re looking for a beautiful Maine wedding along the coast that you and your guests will remember forever, don’t hesitate to book the Viewpoint Hotel!

We were looking to have a very small wedding (25 people) and found ViewPoint via their "ceremony-only" package, which allows you to have the grounds for 2 hours plus an absolutely adorable getting-ready space all day. Of course they do incredible big, regular weddings as well, but the smaller package was a perfect fit for us!

The views are of course out-of-this-world stunning, but the team is also excellent. Camryn was the coordinator for our day - she super on top of everything, and was able to answer all of our (many) questions via as many emails and phone calls as I needed. She was super accommodating, reliable, and she made the day run completely smoothly.

We're so thrilled that we were able to get married at ViewPoint!

My husband and I held an intimate 16-person ceremony at the Viewpoint Hotel. The setting was picturesque with the most beautiful natural backdrop only the Maine Coast can provide. The staff was helpful and proactive from the get-go. The day of coordinator took care of all scheduling needs with vendors and greeted party members and guests. We could not have asked for it to have gone any smoother.

Haven and the Viewpoint team are nothing short of fabulous when it comes to making your wedding day exactly as you had envisioned. The entire team was so responsive, and always had an answer for any question that I had, and made the planning process, so smooth and easy.

We booked our date over a year ahead of time and waited so long for our day and it was nothing short of perfect. We utilized the day of coordinator options and it was so worth it! They were amazing through every step, making sure we had everything ready for the day. A few weeks before they collected all the numbers of vendors to contact to make sure the day ran smoothly. Once we arrived everyone at the ViewPoint just wanted us to have the best time of our lives and we did! Everyone went above and beyond to make the day so special. All our guests expressed how much fun they had and how gorgeous the grounds and the view is. 10000/10 would recommend your wedding here, it’s an absolute dream come true!

We got married on October 1st 2022 at the Viewpoint and it was truly the BEST day of our lives. The staff was incredible to work with leading up to it and took alot of the planning stress off of us. From the moment we started working with them until the day after our wedding it was a pleasant experience. Val, Haven and Ally really know what they are doing and they make you feel like family when you are there. The venue itself is beautiful and the friendly maintenance crew does an amazing job keeping the grounds beautiful. If we could get married again and again it would be the Viewpoint every time!

The rain didn't stop us from having the best day of ours lives on June 24, 2023! My husband and I cannot recommend the Viewpoint enough for your wedding. This is a one of a kind, true boutique experience. Haven, Aly, and the entire team (shoutout to Patrick who was dancing in the middle of the street escorting our party trollies to the after party) made us feel like family throughout the entire planning process. Our families, and bridal parties all stayed on the property and it was EPIC. It was so unique and special to truly have the property to ourselves. The team at the Viewpoint really goes above and beyond to make you feel so comfortable and special throughout your stay with them. It did rain on our wedding day, but we knew that we were taking that risk prior to booking with them. Three biggest takeaways as a rainy viewpoint bride: 1) Have your backup plans in place before you arrive for the weekend, so that you don't have to worry about it when you're supposed to be enjoying your time as a bride! 2) Hire a strong vendor team who is experienced with weddings in New England weather, it REALLY makes a difference. 3) Do not let the rain, rain on your parade! There's nothing you can do to control the weather, but you can control your happiness that day and that's exactly what my husband and I did. Of course we dreamt of a beautiful, sunny, lusciously green day at the Viewpoint. Instead, we got a misty, foggy, rainy day... and it was still the most spectacular day that our friends and family are still raving about. To the Viewpoint team, you are one of a kind, and we are forever grateful for the memories we'll forever cherish. We can't wait to come stay with you again for all of our future anniversaries!!

The ViewPoint is absolutely amazing. From our first visit, we knew this was where we wanted to get married! While there are so many things to love, at the top of our list was that the views are just stunning-- the epitome of the beautiful Maine coastline. It's breathtaking. The location of the hotel feels so private and created such a special experience for our guests. Each room is beautiful in its own right-- clean, spacious, modern and with every amenity you could need. All of our family and friends felt like we were providing them with a vacation experience. Last but certainly not least, Aly and Haven, our wedding coordinator team, were amazing! So attentive to our every need and made our special day run seamlessly. They helped us create the wedding experience of our dreams and assisted us through the planning process from start to finish. Even now, months after our wedding day, our guests are still talking about the ViewPoint. We can't recommend this venue and vendor team enough!

The ViewPoint Hotel truly made all of our wedding dreams come true! They worked with us to design a perfect day for all of our guests. Haven and team are incredibly professional, responsive and talented - their attention to detail and organization made our day stress free and seamless.

The most amazing team of warm and wonderful people who know how to make magic happen!

An absolute perfect day! The staff, the accommodations, beauty and professionalism cannot be matched!

I got married at the Viewpoint in July 2022 and cannot say enough good things about it as a wedding location... it was absolutely exceptional. We were told by multiple people it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. On top of that the staff was top notch. I highly recommend it, I wish we could do it all again!!

My husband and I were just married here on July 4th weekend. The views from the venue were absolutely breathtaking and the grounds perfectly manicured. The tented reception with the nubble lighthouse backdrop makes for a quintessential New England wedding. The staff all worked together like a well-oiled machine. Haven and Aly were so helpful both in the weeks leading up to and during the event. Every detail was well thought out from timing, to logistics, to setting up and breaking down decor for us. Our wedding felt intimate and exclusive since the entire grounds were fully reserved for the wedding party for the full weekend to celebrate. Do be aware this venue is completely a la carte, so it does involve a great deal of planning and coordination. This means choosing everything from a caterer to tables, chairs, even napkins/plates to rent. I recommend at minimum utilizing viewpoint’s event coordinator service if not a full wedding planner. Especially since Haven and her assistant Aly were MORE than worth it. I’m not sure we could’ve pulled everything off without them, at least not without a major deal of stress. One other thing to be mindful of is the fact that York Beach is a pretty small town. If you have a lot of folks coming from out of town, the room blocks situation at neighboring hotels can be tricky. Since it was a holiday weekend, we could not find any hotel within cape neddick that would accommodate room blocks. The business owners around the area are very comfortable as is and do not feel obligated to accommodate. This meant urging guests to book their rooms as far in advance as possible was a must, otherwise they risked the hotels that we reserved trolley transport from being sold out. That said, it was 100% well worth it to be married at such an incredible venue. We had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding they’d ever attended. It was worth every penny and I can’t wait to celebrate anniversaries and vacations here in the years to come!!

Haven and Ally made my ceremony amazing! I chose to have a small ceremony and cocktail hour, and they nailed it. Haven made the day of stress-free. Her kind and professional gestures were so appreciated. I was so worried about how my great-grandmother would be seated-Haven made this no issue! She was kind and patient with my grandmother and was able to get her comfortably seated before our ceremony. I can’t thank her enough for that and all of the many things she did to make our day special. I can’t wait to stay for our future anniversaries!

The most AMAZING venue, and the view alone made this a dream wedding! But Haven & Aly, the two day-of coordinators at The Viewpoint, made everything 100 times better. I cannot say enough good things about these two! They were there for my million planning questions and kept me on track and filled all the missing pieces when I didn’t know what to choose. Haven was our day-of coordinator and if there was a problem that day, I definitely had no clue! 12/10 would recommend.

Working with Haven and Aly was wonderful! Not only are they timely in responding , but they were also so patient with my husband and I throughout the process! The ViewPoint is an absolute dream backdrop with the ocean and Nubble light house right there. The grounds are impeccably kept, and the suites are tastefully decorated while still feeling homey and comfortable! The ability to be able to text the office with questions or needs, and get a response almost immediately was fantastic!

We will forever cherish this hotel, and will be back soon!

Our experience at the Viewpoint Hotel was nothing short of perfect! We began considering the Viewpoint for our wedding ceremony & reception in 2018. The Nubble lighthouse is our spot and the second we toured the property, we were committed! Val and the staff were instrumental in helping us find vendors to suit our taste, coordinating details on our behalf and keeping us informed all along the way. They were consistently available for us to ask questions and went out of their way to provide us with all the information we needed to plan our dream experience. We were among many who had to postpone our ceremony & reception due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Val, Joe & Haven were supremely understanding and demonstrated the utmost compassion as we made difficult decisions regarding rescheduling…twice. They all made the process of changing our date seamless and put all of our stress at ease. When THE day finally arrived, the Viewpoint team ensured our day went off without a hitch. No detail was overlooked (Val even picked me up an iced coffee!), no question unanswered and no worry needed. The impeccable service did not end after our wedding weekend. We planned an extended stay after our nuptials during which we wanted for nothing. The Viewpoint team continued to go beyond all our expectations to make our stay comfortable, exciting and fun. Pick the Viewpoint and do not look back! We know firsthand; dream weddings are made at the Viewpoint Hotel!

The ViewPoint was absolutely amazing! We had an 8 month engagement and felt totally prepared for our wedding. AJ and Val were so incredibly helpful with everything. Guests were in shock when they arrived and saw the view. It's picture perfect we couldn't ask for anything better!!

If you are in search of a venue with spectacular views, flawless accommodations, and the most amazing staff ever, please stop looking- you've found it. Our experience at the Viewpoint was unparalleled. From the moment we booked with Val, I knew we were in the best hands. She was so positive and excited about our day (probably as much as we were) and to have that kind of enthusiasm for your clients really does speak volumes about the Viewpoint. I implore you to book her as your "day of coordinator" but honestly, she was so much more. Every meeting, every email, every call, was answered with genuine interest for our satisfaction and happiness on our day. The entire weekend that we spent at the Viewpoint for our wedding surrounded by our family and friends could not have been more perfect and we really owe it to the recommendations we received by them and the incredible work that Val and the team put into every detail. Thank you over and over and over again for caring as much about our wedding as we did- we are positive it would not have been as perfect any where else.

Elaine, Alex and the team at the ViewPoint Hotel are wonderful! Our wedding was better than we could have imagined and it was thanks to all of the hardworking staff. The venue is gorgeous - I am a little bias - but I think that it is the best spot in York for a wedding. Everyone at the ViewPoint was so helpful and accommodating throughout the whole celebration. It was so amazing to have our bridal party and families stay at the venue with us - it made it into a whole weekend celebration. We loved our time at the ViewPoint and are looking forward to going back. We highly recommend the ViewPoint to every bride looking to get married in Maine! :)

I can't say enough good things about the ViewPoint. The location is absolutely stunning, the staff are incredible, and they are exceptionally good at what they do. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to make sure our day was perfect... And it was!

While planning our wedding ceremony, we stumbled across the Viewpoint Hotel website. I clicked on their video of a previous wedding, and I was sold! The location , the VIEW is amazing!! The property is beautiful , flowers well maintained! My suite was 103 and it was so nice !!!
The staff was awesome the day of. Everything went smoothly. At the end of the night we came back to our room and they had left us a sweet card, champagne and Lindt chocolates.
The next day we woke up to an incredible view of Nubble Light. Amazing!!!
