My wedding is actually in 2.5 weeks and this review may change, but most likely for the better.
I am from outside of Boston, and live in NYC (10 years) but have been going down t...he cape every summer for as long as I can remember. It's my favorite place in the world and the only place I have ever wanted to get married. My mom and I toured a bunch of locations, but the Sea View was by far the best- it's the epitome of "the Cape." Simple, elegance.
My wedding is about 160 people. The Sea View is perfect. A few things really appealed to me- first, there is only one wedding going on. Meaning, everybody is going to be focused on me, my fiance, and my guests. Second, with the amount of guests we are having, the space is perfect. It's going to be cozy enough where all guests are mingling, and not too spread out that people keep to their own circles. The bar is really close to the main room, so the guys can't just hang there (away from music) and not dance. Third, the hotel/motel situation is ideal for guests. There are >5 hotels legitimately within a 6 minute walk (at most).
And finally, Meet Gail. Gail is the owner of the Sea View and wedding coordinator. I live in NYC, and have been engaged for over a year and half. Since the beginning, Gail has been amazing. Once Anthony and I took the tour of the Sea View ( Feb 2016), we knew it was the perfect place. Gail has been dealing with my constant emails, and always replies in a prompt fashion. Anthony and I, with our fams, ate at the Ebb Tide last summer, and the food was awesome. (Ebb Tide was my grandparents favorite restaurant back in the 80s and late 90s...timeless).
One of Gail's promises is that all the main courses will be served at basically at once, so all guests are eating at the same time.
Thus far, Gail and the Sea View have been amazing.
Can't wait to update after wedding!
