Inn by the Sea

Jessica Nixon, the event planner, was very prompt, professional and accommodating. The staff of the Inn by the Sea were all excellent.

We could not be happier with our choice for wedding venue. The Inn By The Sea is first class all the way. Jessica Nixon, our event planner, never tired of our endless questions and quickly responded to us every time. The day was perfect, not one detail was overlooked by the Inn's team. The food was amazing (we had a lobster bake buffet) and they didn't skimp on the lobsters either. I thought there would be just one for every guests, but there were extras!! Some guests had 4 lobsters!
We have stayed at the Inn several times and each visit has been wonderful. Every single employee treats you with the best customer service you could imagine. We love the Inn By The Sea and we feel like they love us. That is what keeps us coming back!

The only thing that could have been better is we were asked to pretty much leave the room around 10 pm. We weren't very loud, but we were told we might wake guests. For a room that holds events like that it would be nice if we could have had it for longer in the night and if it was positioned so guests wouldn't be bothered.

We took advantage of the Elopement Package and had a wonderful experience - the Inn itself is in a beautiful location, and the staff were wonderful. We plan to go back to celebrate future anniversaries.

From the first day I met the wedding coordinator, Jessica Nixon, until the day of the wedding, the people at Inn By The Sea have been helpful, professional and great with communication. For a reasonable price, the Inn provides you with a very helpful wedding coordinator, a gorgeous venue with spectacular views of the ocean and the most delicious food in the Portland area. The wedding coordinator walks you through all the details that are involved in wedding planning in order to assure you are on schedule and have all you ducks in a row. They take care of you the day of the wedding by making sure you are fed, supplied with drinks and having a good time. Everything went perfectly on my wedding day and I could not have asked for a better venue.

My (now) husband and I got married at Inn by the Sea about a year ago and I'm more than a little embarrassed that it took me this long to write about it. My experience could not have possibly been better. Jessica Nixon (the person at IbtS I dealt with) was pleasant, professional, and amazingly flexible. I wanted a small, elegant wedding with great food for a low price and that's exactly what I got. Especially when trying to plan the menu Jessica was able to give me exactly what I wanted and still keep the price low, something I never thought was possible. What really blew us away though were all the little things Jessica and the staff did to make us feel like royalty and make our wedding weekend the amazing event that it was. They were always one step ahead of us, anticipating our every need and taking care of it.

We went back for our one year anniversary last weekend and when I made the reservation they remembered that we had gotten married there last year. Shortly after arriving at our room the Inn sent us a bottle of champagne for our anniversary. We only stayed one night but just being there is an experience unlike any I've had before. Not only is the room luxurious, the food at Seaglass is amazing, and the walk down to the beach (even with no leaves yet) is like something out of a painting. The morning of our departure my husband commented that being treated like royalty for your wedding was one thing, but he never expected to be treated like royalty as just another guest at the Inn.

Perfect setting for a wedding! The Inn by the Sea and the surrounding property is absolutely gorgeous! we were married on the gazebo on the property and had the most beautiful sunset photos taken on the beach. Every detail of my day was perfect! Would highly recommend this location!

I always thought that the Inn only catered to much larger events, with much larger budgets, , but I contacted Jessica about a small family elopement and was shocked to find it was not only possible but suprisingly affordable too. The responsiveness of Jessica and her team was astounding, and they literally would do anything I asked. Nothing was too big or too small even for a tiny event like mine. I never had to lift a finger or stress about anything for even a moment. Who would have thought that was even possible?! The food and service was amazing the day of, and it goes without saying the Inn was gorgeous. I would absolutely recommend Jessica and the Inn to anyone looking for a stress free wedding in an ideallic setting.

Jessica and the rest of the staff were great to work with. Everyone was greeted with a smile, and we couldn't have been happier with our wedding. The servers worked their butts off, the settings were great, and the food delicious. We couldn't have asked for anything better.

Jessica and her entire staff were phenomenal, the food was exceptional and incredibly reasonably priced and the facility and location cannot be beat. Luxury and beauty without ostentation or pretense.

Inn by the Sea was the perfect backdrop for our elopement. The staff were welcoming and the Inn is stunning. Jessica Nixon deserves an award for how patient and understanding she was with all my last minute plans and requests. Dinner following the ceremony was lovely and the cake was GREAT!!! We loved every second of our stay and cannot wait to book our one year anniversary!

We loved Inn By The Sea! it was so beautiful and if we ever wanted to renew our vows we would look no where else!

The wedding coordinator at Inn By the Sea is outstanding. I cannot say enough great things about her. She is patient and efficient. The entire staff was professional and welcoming. The whole weekend ran so smoothly and all the food was delicious!

I can't say enough positive things about the Inn by the Sea team. The catering sales manager, Jessica Nixon, was organized, easy to work with, contributed great ideas, ALWAYS followed up anything I mentioned (which is so important because a bride's mind is swimming with details) and was very flexible with all the snafus that came up during the process. My guests were blown away by their experience at Inn by the Sea - the hotel staff was so friendly yet professional with my out of town guests. The venue was just stunning and gave my guests the true "Maine" experience. Oh and the food was just wonderful - the chef provided a delicious meal that exceeded my expectations to 185 people (I got MANY compliments on the food).

Our experience at Inn by the Sea was perfect! Jessica was a dream to work with and so helpful, responsive, and organized in the entire planning process. The staff was professional and courteous, the food was amazing, and the rooms are incredible! It is in a beautiful location and our guests raved about the entire experience as well. We can't wait to go back for our first anniversary!!

Inn by the Sea did such an amazing job with my wedding. I lived in another state, and yet Jessica Nixon did a wonderful job in responding to my e-mails quickly, answering all the questions I had. They helped me with the wedding plans, making sure everything was done, and even gave me a list of vendors when I was looking for a certain something. Without them, I would have been like a chicken with its head cut off. Thanks to them, I felt completely confident and relaxed during most of the wedding planning. The food they offered as options were excellent and well worth the cost. Everybody absolutely raved about the food and the cake. The pricing was very reasonable and well worth it! Last, but not least, they loved the location. Most of the guests even said to me that it was the best wedding they had ever gone to, hands down. I would recommend this place to anybody who loves being in a natural, relaxing place! Thank you, Inn by the Sea!

Great experience! IBTS was very accomodating and we had an absolutely wonderful day. The only feedback we thought of was that it would have been nice if they could have furnished an ipod or a cd player for the ceremony and offered it in advance. We brought our own speakers, etc, but for the amount we paid, I think this should have been furnished and the staff should be familiar with using it so as to facilitate the ceremony. My husband was fussing with wiring and electronics 20 minutes before the start of the ceremony and he was nervous to begin with! Overall, wonderful, we plan to come back to stay and would recommend it to anyone.

I would absolutely recommend Inn by the Sea to anyone looking for a wedding/reception location. Jessica was wonderful to work with, very responsive and paid attention to every detail. Our wedding was perfect, we were married at the end of June and the grounds were stunning! The food was amazing, our guests all remarked on how much they loved it. We had the chef make our cake as well, it was beautiful and tasted as good as it looked.

This is a wonderful place for a wedding! They have fabulous access to the water, amazing food, and excellent accommodations!

One of the most beautiful backdrops for your Maine wedding day, luxury accommodations for the wedding party and their guests. And . . . they are dog friendly too!

One of the best beach locations in Maine, followed by the highest quality of dining and service experiences in Maine. A great combination!
