From the reviews
We got married here in May 2022. What an amazing experience from start to finish! Our coordinator, Ally, was a dream to work with and so reliable, friendly and communicative. She always answered my questions promptly over email and kept us on track and was so patient.
EXCELLENT! I attended a wedding here on Monday, May 12 2025! The location where the ceremony held was beautiful,, over looking the water. The food was delicious and the staff was awesome. Been too alot of places for events, and I put this place at the top of my list of good choices! Bartender was attentive!
As a wedding photographer who pretty much lives here, I have to say, this place is a photographer's dream come true. The views of the water from the ballroom are breathtaking. The ceremony space has unobstructed views of the Atlantic.
This place is absolutely gorgeous! My favorites were the fire pits, big blue chair and the swings. The ocean definitely had a smell that I am not used to smelling but the views made you forget about it. You could see houses that reached all the way out to the horizon.
Getting married at Oceanview of Nahant
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.
