From the beginning to the end, this was the most perfect experience. Thank you to Nancy (our planner) and Derek (our event captain) for your exceptional service and incredible attitudes. This venue is a hidden gem in terms of setting and location and the staff is even better than the truly incredible views! We couldn’t be happier or more thankful for the entire experience. We highly recommend this venue to anyone and everyone... as a bride who is NOT very smooth with details, these guys made me look like I had sorted through any and all details... and really, it was all them. We love you danversport! Thank you!!! More...

I meet with Michael at Danversport and when we arrived her was already outside of the venue with all information in hand awaiting our arrival. He was so warm and welcoming and took all the time to answer our questions. We then called back a few hours after the tour to ask more questions about the venue and got a call back the same day!! They have been so helpful and we feel truly cared for. More...

They were all very kind, profesional, and made it seem like we were the only wedding that they had, even though we had a small wedding. They able to quickly answer any questions we had before the wedding and set up all of the decorations exactly as we wanted, and the night of the wedding they were consistently around and able to help us with anything that went wrong or any last second requests we had.

We had our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding at Danversport this past week-end and it was absolutely magical! The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff was such a pleasure to work with. Every detail was attended to with the utmost care, and the staff communicated seamlessly with one another throughout the entire process. Every time our daughter emailed Ron with a question during the planning process, he responded quickly, confirming that her request would be met. His attention during the wedding evening kept the event running smoothly and on schedule. And it’s an absolutely gorgeous venue, as well! I can’t say enough about what a positive experience we had with them throughout. I highly recommend them without a single hesitation! More...

Our wedding was September 15, 2019. The venue was absolutely beautiful, the gardens are well-kept, the canal is clean, the gazebo where we exchanged our vows is beautiful, the patio for our cocktail hour and hors d’oeuvres for our guest was beautiful next to the waterfall, our Lighthouse room was spectacular .
The staff that took care of me and my groom and all of my guests were top notch! They helped me with every moment during our special day. They made sure that we always had something to drink, that we ate our meals, that our area was always clear so we would not stumble or spill anything. Our family and friends were so pleased with the staff. The entire staff was kind, professional and invisible yet available at every moment.
Danvers port actually recommended our photographer Barbara Lynch and then Barbara recommended DJ Tommy. Everyone worked so well with each other, everything felt flawless.
All of our guests are still calling us to tell us what an amazing wedding and how the staff was so accommodating, professional and Friendly.
We absolutely will return to this venue for any other type of function in our future. We will recommend this venue to anyone we cross paths with for any type of function.
Thank you to the staff for all that you did for us it does not go unrecognized !!!!!
Thank you,
Mr. & Mrs. Jameson Pinion

Our wedding at Danversport was perfect. And while everyone may say that I honestly truly feel our wedding day was perfect and I owe it to Danversport. They were the most amazing venue to work with. We chose the venue not only for its beautiful location, space, decoration and ease of location but the biggest deciding factor was the staff and service at Danversport. They took care of everything up until the wedding day. Any time I sent an email with a question they no lie would respond within the hour! I always felt comfortable reaching out or asking for their advice on anything. If you are thinking you want this or that at your wedding or may want to try something different just ask and they will assist and help. They let it truly be your day. Not to mention the amazing affordability of this place!! On the actual wedding day the waterfront ceremony, the cocktail hour on the deck and the gorgeous ballroom was everything I dreamed of and more for our wedding day. Ron, Derrick and team kept everything moving and I knew we didn't need to worry about a thing. As other reviews will tell you its weeks later and people are still raving to us about the venue and the food. Do not look anywhere else, book this venue you will not regret it and your wedding will be everything you dreamed of. I want to give Danversport a million stars just so people recognize how amazing they are. Thank you for making our wedding the greatest day. We wish we could do it all again!! More...

Our experience with Danversport went above and beyond our expectations. This venue will forever hold a very special place in my heart. We fell in love with this venue instantly after only looking at one other venue first. I remember driving onto the property in snowy December and falling in love with it, without even seeing how gorgeous it really is in the summer! In the months leading up to our wedding, every question or concern we had, our coordinator Michael responded to right away. This honestly helped make the wedding planning process a very low stress experience for us. In the days right before the wedding, I was able to drop off the many crafts and centerpieces I had made and shared my vision for our wedding with Michael. He set everything up exactly how I had envisioned it so when we arrived for our rehearsal dinner we were able to peek into the Garden View Terrace room to see everything coming to life. Our rehearsal dinner was under the tent at Danversport as well, with a beautiful view of the water beside us. We played yard games and beach volleyball and took pictures with the gorgeous views. Our wedding day could not have gone any more perfectly thanks to Michael and Lisa who kept us calm while running the show seamlessly. Not to mention making sure we had a cocktail from our mason jar station in our hands about a minute after the ceremony ended, and a tray of hors d’oeuvres in front of us immediately after that. They made sure everything was perfect for us the entire night. Not only was our experience wonderful, but our guests all raved about the venue as well! We can not recommend Danversport more! More...

There are one million great things I can say about working with the team at Danversport - and I mean the ENTIRE team, from coordinators to bartenders to servers, etc. Every single person was responsive, accommodating, helpful, and so positive throughout every interaction. We had a very specific goal for our wedding: throw an awesome party, make it accommodating for our guests, give them a great experience, and enjoy ourselves, too!

To start, this was a very short engagement - barely 6 months from announcement to wedding day. I knew going into Danversport that I was going to love the look fo the venue, but I didn't know if we could afford it. I was so wrong - when you factor in the taxes, fees, gratuities, etc. at so many other venues, it is a no-brainer. Plus, it decreases how often I have to do math, and that is always a bonus for me! We had a guest list of over 250, so we were limited on venue choices, and I'm glad we didn't waste time looking at too many because Danversport was absolutely the perfect place - the Harborview ballroom + the Sundeck are amazing!

Setting up the very first meeting was easy, Lauren was awesome, and within a few days we were working on the contract. The team was so great about a couple of additions we wanted, and they made the process smooth and stress-free. The food tasting setup was great - I loved getting to try everything in a group setting where we could really see how the food tastes when catering for a large group of people (if you're only tasting food cooked for 4-6 people, it's not usually the same as tasting food cooked for 200+ people).

From there, we introduced our wedding planner/event stylist to the Danversport team, and my planner (who is based out of South Florida and is also a close friend) has been singing the team's praises from the beginning. She has literally raved about how accommodating they are, how helpful they were to her, how flexible they were, etc. This made me SO happy that the venue wasn't adding unnecessary headaches (I have heard the horror stories from other places).

We did the deluxe open bar, and they had no issues bringing in some specific drinks we wanted! And yes, if you're basic like me, you'll be thrilled to know that they can in fact get White Claws in - you're welcome!

Ron was great at our rehearsal and the day of. From the moment we got to the venue, everyone was amazing! The bridal suite service was incredible, we even had staff following us with ice water pitchers and cups while taking our pre-ceremony pictures, one of the women (I'm sadly blanking on her name) even carried my train for me at one point. SO many of our guests made a point to tell us just how incredible the staff was - it is not often that people go out of their way to make that compliment at a wedding, in my experience, and it made me so happy to know our guests were loving the team as much as we were.

Once the ceremony was over and some additional pictures were being taken, apps and drinks were immediately served to us under the tent, absolutely no time was wasted! In fact, the apps and freshly poured champagne were there by the time we finished walking back up the aisle! They were even taking our drink orders and pouring us very generous glasses of champagne so we wouldn't need refills while taking photos. Anything we needed, they were there. The rest of the night also went amazingly, and Ron made sure to find us when it was 15 minutes to last call so we could let our guests know. This was really appreciated because I had no concept of time. When people say that your wedding reception flies by, they are not exaggerating!

Just about every single thing went perfectly! It's a wedding, something is sure to go wrong, but what matters is whether it can be handled and easily resolved. The only issue we had (which I didn't find out until after the fact) is that the special dietary meals were at first forgotten (i.e. I was never served gluten free pasta, a celiac-friendly meal for one of our guests was not initially brought out, and my bridesmaid's vegan meal wasn't served). The celiac-friendly meal was handled upon reminder from my MIL (I had no idea it was happening), but I didn't get to resolve the vegan meal since I didn't know it was missing until the next day. Had my bridesmaid said something, I have every confidence that they would have had it ready to go. As someone with dietary issues, I wouldn't let this hiccup stop me from working with Danversport, I would just be more vigilant the next time, especially since they had the meals available. Something just got lost in execution, but everyone was still safely fed and in a timely manner (i.e. no one was just sitting there waiting for food to be served long after everyone else was done eating).

It didn't even stop there. We hosted a brunch the next day as well, and the team let us keep some of our centerpieces on site and then THEY moved them downstairs to the brunch space to decorate the room for us! This floored me and was such an incredible and thoughtful touch. I even saw Lauren that morning at brunch, and per the usual, she was all smiles and congratulating us.

Truly, every single person we encountered at all levels was awesome. It was kind of unreal, especially because I've heard of so many nightmare issues for so many brides, even at venues that are supposed to be great. I will sing the praises of the team at Danversport to anyone who will listen because the experience was tremendous. There is already so much to stress about when planning a wedding, nothing beats getting to work with a team that is this efficient, talented, and friendly to work with. There is zero question that I will book future events there.

Oh, and maybe one of the best parts? Paying for exactly what you were told you would pay for. No surprise fees. No surprise add-ons. There was zero added stress dealing with the invoice. When comparing venue costs, be SURE to take into consideration the fact that Danversport provides the linens, napkins, chiavari chairs, etc. all as part of the inclusive pricing. This is important because I've seen venues charge per chair, per napkin, etc! Make sure you're comparing apples to apples because for the size of our party and the number of things we added on (deluxe open bar, classic hors devours, buffet with prime rib added, viennese dessert table, cappuccino and espresso), we actually paid less than we had anticipated (we skipped the wedding cake just because neither of us cared about cake and loved the dessert table - which so many guests also raved about, btw).

Bottom line: I couldn't have dreamed up a better venue. It was stunningly beautiful, every member of the team is a dream to work with, everything ran smoothly, and it was quite literally the best day we ever had. I have SO MUCH gratitude for the Danversport team and cannot recommend them enough. If you are on the fence, work with them. You will not regret it.

When I 1st met Michael he was pleasantly warming, informative, professional and reassuring. His demeanor convinced me Danversport was my venue of choice along with the beauty of the venue itself! The food tasting was one of my favorite moments when planning! Food is important, it was delicious and my guest are still talking about it! There was only one miscommunication and it was that, another couple getting married the same day in the smaller ballroom, would be using the gazebo (we were told goes with the big ballroom we rented) an hour prior to our wedding making it inconvenient for it to get decorated early as discussed upon our initial meeting. I found out closer to the wedding that another couple would be using it, but thank goodness people I hired made it work & look the way I wanted it to. I will say during the wedding Michael and Derek both were extremely professional, attentive and on top of everything! Michael helped to make sure everything went by smoothly. My husbands pants came lose and he did not hesitate, he ran and went to get him a safety pin. Ironically soon after my 2nd dress came lose in the back and he again swiftly went and got me safety pins & stood there to help put it together! He grabbed my belongings out the limo when I was tied up with our guest so I could have things I needed in my posession! He came to make us aware his night was over towards the end of the night and made sure we didn't need anything else before he left for the night. Danversport is beautiful, clean and the food is delicious! Only suggestions I have is to offer the bride & groom if they want to take the remaining cake with them being we were busy. Also, due to weather, to be a bit more accommodating to early arriving guest, because being that it was over 100 degrees outside, thank goodness that Derek, with no hesitation was trying to be accommodating to the guest with providing a jug of water that technically needed to be paid for and offered them to go under an unused tent for shade. Not complaining I loved my wedding and the location, just sharing what i believe to be valuable information! Again, thank you Danversport your location is beautiful and hats off to the chef!!!
