We were looking for a venue in coastal Maine and after reviewing many options, NSI was the clear winner. The ability to have all of your wedding weekend events in one place and host a majority of our guests was a no brainer. Also, from day one, the NSI staff were so helpful, attentive, and committed to make our wedding weekend exactly what we wanted. Obviously, NSI itself is an incredibly beautiful location and venue. The hotel was so classic coastal Maine chic. The facilities and grounds were immaculately kept, and catered to our exact needs. You can’t beat that 360 view of the ocean, as well!

Getting to spend such an amazing weekend with our families and close friends all in one place was such a wonderful experience, and we got to show off a state we both love. Everyone, including ourselves, loved being able to jump in the ocean from the property, play pickleball and lawn games, explore around beautiful Southport, and relax by the pool. One particular moment that really touched us was when Tiffany surprised us on Sunday morning with leftover wedding dessert (cannoli from Solo Pane) that she set aside for us after learning we did not get to actually have any the night of our wedding (too busy having too much fun on the dance floor)! This is just one of the many examples of how the NSI staff catered to us and our guests all weekend.

This is truly your weekend, focus all of your efforts on being present and having fun. We were able to do that because we were very involved in our wedding planning process, and gave ourselves plenty of time and space to work through all of the small details and responsibilities. There were not any surprises or hiccups that we did not expect (and because the NSI staff are amazing).
