    Becky and Paige were so awesome. Everything went very smoothly thanks to them. Great event venue!

    Harbour View was very convenient and accommodating. 10/10. Loved everyone that worked there.

    Absolutely wonderful

    Our wedding at Harbor View Inn was nothing short of amazing. The staff was helpful, organized and professional from the beginning to the end. Everything was absolutely seamless (thanks to Becky, Paige and staff) and even though the entire island lost power the day of the event, they had a back up plan ready in moments to easy my worried mind (the power was restored in time though and everything went as planned).
    Having Harbor View as our venue for both the ceremony and reception was by far an amazing decision and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering this space.

    Harbour View Inn's reply:

    Thank you Amber! We appreciate your wonderful review and patience the day of your event. We were so happy it was all able to work out as planned!

    Easy and perfect

    It was a great experience at the Harbor View Inn! We wanted a small and intimate wedding and got just that! The gazebo had beautiful flowers and was the perfect set up for what we needed

    Great! Super flexible

    Super flexible with having half of our guests be late because of the packed boats.... Everyone did great and even though it was a little jumbled with our guests, it still went very smoothly.

    Thank you Samantha! We loved hosting your wedding and were happy to help in any way we could! Best wishes to you and your new husband!

    Amazing Venue

    I highly recommend this venue for your special even. Their food is amazing and the staff was so nice. We had our wedding there and I didn’t have to worry about much of anything. Things that I brought for my own centerpieces were wrapped and boxed up for me so I didn’t have to worry about that at the end of the night. They took care of the leftover cake by placing it in their freezer until it was time for us to leave. I felt comfortable asking then anything and they were willing and able to work with me with placement of items for our wedding. Even for our ceremony, we weren’t able to have it in the location we wanted due to rain and they were so quick to set up a different area for us.
    Highly recommend

    Thank you Melissa! We wish you and Chris all the best for your new life together! Congratulations again!!!

    Ceremony, cocktail hour, reception

    We had an amazing experience! The grounds and porch made for a memorable experience, hanging out through the night with friends and family, beyond our wedding date. Pretty much all of our guests stayed at harbour view inn. We had our first look, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception here. We had an afterglow with a DJ at another location after the reception. Ceremony was beautiful in the back gazebo. Food was perfect. And they did a fantastic job setting up the back for the reception as well! Becky and the rest of the staff did an amazing job accommodating us and our guests. They took care of everyone and everything we needed! I wish I could relive the day again. One of our most memorable experiences. The location was perfect for our small group of just under 40.

    Exactly what was expected!

    The venue was small, but perfect for a small micro wedding with close family and friends. The staff was very accommodating. With the special touches from Weber's Floral, the event was beautiful. Special kudos to all, Becky, Michelle, Tony, Brady, Kacee and the Chef. We can't wait to come back for a laid back stay.

    Harbour View Inn's reply:

    Thank you Charmaine! We are so glad everything was perfect for your wedding! We look forward to that laid back stay and wish you congratulations!

    Dreams do come true!

    Harbour View was the absolute perfect place for our wedding. They were helpful, kind and incredibly flexible. They went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect, and it was. Even despite COVID the wedding was stunning, comfortable and everyone was kept safe. I could never thank them enough!

    Amazing and well recommended!!

    The staff was very professional and wonderful from start to finish. The venue was amazing and our special day was perfect. One thing I did wish for was more pictures of the food and cake that was included in our elopement package. The package does explain everything that was included but there aren't really any visual examples of it. Which is a shame because the food and cake were awesome and very well presented. It was just a little nerve-wracking going into the reception having little or no idea what the food/cake would look or taste like. I had no reason to worry but if I had one thing to mention it was that. All in all I highly recommend 10/10.

    Thank you Renee! We wish you all the best with your new husband and will take your feedback into consideration!

    Made it perfect, despite being small

    I was impressed at how special we were treated even though our wedding was very small. The staff treated everyone as if we had paid for the largest wedding. We only had 14 people total including ourselves and the wedding was perfect. Atmosphere was great and the staff were amazing. It rained on my day and they jumped through hoops to move things around so we could have the wedding in the parlor. Thank you so much!

    Thank you for the review! We loved hosting your intimate wedding and are so glad you enjoyed the day!

    Best Day Of Our Lives!

    This venue is beautiful. It was small, but perfect for the people we had including us and our bridal party a total of 20. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, and Becky is amazing. She was so understanding, easy to work with, and always answered any questions questions we had immediately, as well as stayed on top of everything. The day of our wedding she was right there to walk us through everything. This was especially nice since my level of stress was high due to having to cancel our Niagara Falls wedding, and changing our location within two months the Harbour View was the perfect spot, we have no regrets.

    Thank you Nicole! We loved hosting your wedding and are so glad you shared your experience! Best wishes for you and your new husband!

    My Perfect Day

    Becky is a saint. She worked so well with me and my grandmother. She really deserves all the credit for bringing everything together. The hotel staff was so incredibly accommodating to all of our expectations. The best part is after my wedding I had so much beer, wine, and even my ceremony dress to take care of as I was staying in a different hotel. They boxed up the leftover beer and wine, took care of my dress, and tagged it for the ferry and arranged for the person transporting our things to meet us just before the ferry left to be sure we got all of our stuff. That really blew me away. The weather was a beautiful warm sunny and 70 day. Which I know the venue didn't do but I couldn't believe everything worked out beautifully. Oh and the food! Everybody raved about the salmon. It took me about an hour to finish my dinner as I was up and down and I swear the last bite was just as good as the first.

    Thank you Chelsea! We are so glad you enjoyed your wedding day and hope you will visit us in the future! Congratulations!

    This place was fantastic for our wedding venue, and the rooms were great. Very clean, the beds were comfortable, and there was a great breakfast every morning. Becky was very responsive with all of the wedding planning, and always answered any random questions I had very quickly. For the weekend of the wedding, Michelle was my go-to gal. She was excellent, very professional and did such a great job handling all of the details. She even helped calm my pre-ceremony jitters. Rick was our bartender, and may possibly be my new favorite person. On Thursday when we got to the Harbour View, he was already asking if he could get me anything, and he was so pleasant to be around. He always had me smiling and laughing and our guest just loved him. The rest of the staff was great and extremely polite. The wedding meal was excellent. The chef came out and personally congratulated us, which was such a sweet touch. We look forward to staying at the Harbour View Inn each time we visit the island. The grounds are maintained very well and it's in a great spot.

    We had an amazing wedding ceremony and reception at this location. Becky and Michelle were wonderful in making sure that everything went as planned and everything was setup accordingly. I couldn't have asked for our wedding to go any better. Becky was always great at responding promptly to emails and making sure to answer all of my questions. I was very happy with them.

    My husband and I absolutely love the Harbor View Inn! We had our wedding on the veranda and it was everything I wanted. Michelle, Molly and all the staff were excellent.

    No issues with our stay, but for the price and what we received - it
    was a bit pricey. However, we would stay here again

    My experience with Harbour View Inn was excellent. Their wedding coordinator, Nicola, was wonderful and she kept in touch frequently, keeping all the details in mind. She remembered all the little things I mentioned and made sure they happened. The reception room was set up exactly how I wanted it, the food tasted great and was a good price per plate; there were plenty of menu choices as well. When a couple of snafus came up during dinner--one missing children's dinner and no seat for the photographer--they were taken care of immediately. It's a beautiful location that is also close to the docks.
