Best venue ever!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Cruiseport, Gloucester! My husband and I were recently married here, and we were originally supposed to host over 200 guests. We opted to keep our original date despite the pandemic and opted to have a "minimony" with 25 guests. We would not change a thing! Throughout the entire process, Kristen Barrett was there for us and was extremely communicative, supportive, and helpful. Taryne also helped us iron out some of the last minute details, and Danielle was our fabulous day-of coordinator that helped us pull off the greatest day of our lives. The food and the space is incredible, and we even received a refund when it was all said and done. Cruiseport gave us a stress-free, beautiful experience!

The most amazing venue, view, food and staff! 10/10

First off, aside from being an absolutely beautiful venue, the Cruiseport staff was AMAZING! To say they are on their A-game would be an understatement. The entire staff was so warm and helpful. Everything from the reception set-up, to the small stuff such as having our signature drinks waiting for us as we entered the boat for cocktail hour, made us feel very special. We truly felt like royalty that day. I highly recommend having cocktail hour on the boat, as it was so much fun and the view was incredible. Jordan was our wedding coordinator and she was AMAZING! She is kind, personable and was super patient with the 100 questions I asked during the planning process via phone/email. Additionally, her email responsiveness was so quick, which is greatly appreciated. Also, she provided really great decor ideas that I hadn't even thought of, which I ended up utilizing and were a big hit! The day of the wedding, there were some last minute changes that came up for the reception and Jordan was extremely flexible and accommodating. You will be lucky to have Jordan as your wedding coordinator! Lastly, the food was delicious. I had the fish (because Gloucester) but wow the filet was amazing. If a beautiful, coastal New England wedding is your vision...run, don't walk to the Cruiseport!! 10/10.
