From the reviews
We had the most perfect wedding day, and we owe so much of it to Amy, our incredible day-of coordinator! Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish. The ceremony was perfectly planned as we imagined, the cruise boat for cocktail hour was absolutely perfect and our guest loved it, and the Cruiseport team went…
From the moment we toured Cruiseport and got to speak with the staff, we knew this was the perfect wedding venue for us. We were lucky enough to work with Jordan as our wedding coordinator, who brought our wedding vision to life.
I had a winter wedding in 2022 at the Cruiseport. I had such a wonderful experience with all the staff from start till finish. It was such a beautiful wedding. The food was amazing! My wedding manager Danielle was absolutely fabulous.
We had our wedding at Cruiseport Gloucester, and from the moment we booked two years ago to the day itself, the entire experience was absolutely incredible. We were counting down to our wedding for so long, and when the day finally arrived, it exceeded every expectation.
Getting married at Cruiseport Gloucester
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
