We just had our wedding at the Ocean View Inn and we had a blast. The location is beautiful and the staff is wonderful! Peter, Rick, and Katie helped us have an amazing rehearsal dinner and wedding. Included in the rental price is the help of a wedding coordinator for the day of the wedding. We were lucky that the... more

Buyer beware. My fiance and I had a terrible venue experience. So, the series of events goes like this. We booked our wedding with a place called the Ocean View Inn & Resort in Gloucester Mass (located at 171 Atlantic Road). When we originally signed a contract with them, they gave us a list of rates that they would honor... more

This is strictly a motel room. Two beds, dresser, light cable, and a bathroom. What makes it like the title says"slightly above average" is the fact that it's nestled on the rocks of Gloucester's Atlantic Ave. Wonderful views of the ocean, spectacular sunsets, and a nice swimming pool. Front desk staff were friendly and accomodating when I asked for more... more

The inn is right across from the water on Atlantic Ave with two pools and a restaurant. We were in Ocean Terrace #135. The Ocean Terrace rooms are in a one story motel style building right behind the larger pool. On the website the rooms are listed something like Ocean Terrace level 1, 2, 3- which I found confusing... It... more

I recently got married at the Ocean View Inn & Resort. We had our ceremony on the front lawn of the Atlantic Ballroom with the reception following immediately thereafter. I have to say that I was beyond thrilled with the location and the service we received from the Ocean View staff. The location itself can't be beat for a North... more

On arrival at 12:30 we were told by a very rude lady at the front desk that our room "was not ready" and check in is usually at 3. We go to lunch and return at 3. We booked Ocean Terrace room #125. This room cost $279 per night. What that price included was a wonderful view and clean room... more

Our daughter - a sailor - wanted a seaside wedding, and chose Ocean View Inn, where she'd stayed as a child. The Inn's wedding planner Steven Weinstein was superb - organized, easygoing, and on top of all the details - which kept all of us relaxed. Our daughter wanted an outside wedding, and when rain threatened, Steve and his staff... more

We had our wedding at the Ocean View Inn (OVI) on August 18th, 2007 and I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience there. First of all, the owner, Peter, was extremely helpful throughout the process. He made himself available no matter what day or time of the week. He was very accommodating and made us feel at home... more

I was hired as a Day-of-Coordinator for a wedding that was held at The Ocean View Inn on June 9, 2007. The couple brought me in to help them manage things the day-of their wedding so they didn’t have to worry about anything on their Wedding Day. Part of the reason the couple had brought me in was that they... more
