We had an AMAZING wedding at the Nantasket Beach Resort. Mary, the wedding coordinator was very sweet and most importantly was very responsive with any emails/phone calls, marvelou...s reaching out and meeting a few specific requests we had concerning the reception too! She was also present for our ceremony which was very sweet as well!
The executive suite that we were provided for the couple nights was really amazing, it was huge! The only thing it was missing was a balcony (it did have a sliding door but no where to step out onto). Plenty of windows with views of the water. We also had the ladies in our wedding get their hair and makeup done right in the suite and it was plenty large enough to do that while hosting other people as well during so. The bedroom/master bath had doors as well to separate from the rest of the suite, plus there was a half bath in the main area of the suite too! (So guests didn't have to go through the bedroom to use the bathroom).
We had the rehearsal dinner on-site in a separate area next to the bar and it was great, the food from the restaurant was very good! The server, Anna, we had taking care of us during the rehearsal dinner was very sweet and quick as well, provided great service.
We did a "First Look" type deal since we didn't want to miss the entire cocktail hour and majority of the wedding party were allowed to take pictures on a higher up balcony on top of the resort which was stunning!
We had the ceremony in the smaller side room, the Minot Room, which was the perfect size for 80 guests. It was nice but it was very hot in the front of the room of the ceremony, that was the only bummer thing. Although we obviously didn't pause the ceremony to complain about it therefore it was what it was. Guests sitting in the back said they were fine so it may've been hard to tell for the person in charge of that.
The side room for the wedding party was nice but had no windows and was very stuffy and hot. Although, it was obviously nice to have with service in there too. (Although, they did provide us a bottle of champagne which was sweet!).
The reception was amazing, the Nantasket Ballroom (first floor) was great, stunning view of the beach/ocean, a fenced in patio, and perfect for a smaller wedding. Being on the first floor you could easily go outside and take pictures or smoke. The food was fantastic, especially the filet, salad, and Mediterranean Station we had chosen. The hors d'oeuvres were very yummy especially the coconut shrimp! The bartender was super fast I was told, guests said they never really waited long for a drink (side note you're not allowed to order shots). The Banquet Captain, Madeline, was amazing. She was present the entire time, set the room perfectly, ran a tight ship, and packed up all our stuff after for us to bring up! We had a lot of decor and she did amazing, she also swiftly gave the boot to a few people who weren't guests.
The only other couple complaints I can think of is first the service at the restaurant for breakfast could've been better, although the food was delicious. There was also some resistance to negotiation about the rehearsal dinner and not using their pre-fixed menu for it (the entrees are very similar to the reception menu hence why we didn't want to use it). But were able to meet in the middle.
But otherwise overall, we highly recommend this resort for a wedding, especially for the location if you love the ocean like we do! :)
