Extremely Disappointing Experience at Oceanview of Nahant…read more I am writing this review regarding the unacceptable level of service provided by Oceanview of Nahant during my brother's wedding on July 27, 2025. After paying approximately $45,000 for what was marketed as a luxury, full-service venue, the experience was riddled with serious issues that negatively impacted the entire event. 1. Major Security and Privacy Concerns The bridal suite was left unlocked during the event, allowing anyone to enter freely. This was extremely distressing, as it contained personal belongings and valuables. For a venue of this caliber and price point, basic security should never be overlooked. 2. Underage Drinking There were instances of underage drinking taking place during the reception. This reflects a serious failure in bar oversight and alcohol service compliance. A professional venue should be strictly monitoring IDs and ensuring responsible service at all times. 3. Failure to Provide Promised Service During Photos While the wedding party was taking photos, no food was served to them as promised. The only beverage available was sangria served in plastic cups, and the bride herself did not even receive any. A designated sangria station was supposed to be set up and properly staffed, but it was poorly managed and lacked the presentation expected at a high-end venue. 4. Guest Book & Welcome Table Mismanagement My sister-in-law provided a beautiful guest book along with cameras for guests to use, yet there was no clear signage or staff guidance directing guests where to sign in or participate. Many guests were confused or missed the opportunity entirely, which is incredibly disappointing given the sentimental value of these items. 5. Dining & Food Service Failures Dinner service was disorganized. Seating guidance was minimal, causing confusion among guests. Even more concerning, food was cleared away prematurely -- some guests had not even finished or, in some cases, had not yet received their meals before plates were taken. This level of service is unacceptable, especially at a wedding where guests should feel accommodated and unrushed. For the price paid, we expected professionalism, coordination, and attention to detail. Instead, the event was marked by disorganization, poor communication, and preventable oversights. A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and it is deeply disappointing when a venue fails to deliver the level of service that was promised and paid for. I strongly encourage future couples to ask detailed questions about security, staffing, alcohol monitoring, and event-day coordination before booking. I advise anyone to look elsewhere where for your big day.!

It is highly regrettable that not only I, but also my significant other, family, and other vendors…read morehad to endure the complete unprofessionalism, poor communication, and discourtesy from both you and your staff. From the very first day I visited the venue, I was informed that several modifications were being made prior to my scheduled event. However, I was never updated that these changes were not occurring, which was the initial indication of the communication breakdown. I had to reach out to the venue a second time to confirm the event date and other details. As the event date approached, I had not finalized any food menu nor signed the contract. I had to make several calls before I could speak with someone to receive the menu and options. You later mentioned that they had entered my email incorrectly, and after I provided my email again via text, I still did not receive the menus or contract. I ultimately had to visit the venue in person, as I no longer felt comfortable communicating through email or text. During my meeting with you and Jacklyn, whom you mentioned was new, it became evident that there was a lack of communication between the two of you. The way you addressed her in front of me and my significant other was entirely unprofessional. It was also apparent that she was new and you had not given her the knowledge of how the business runs, as she had to frequently consult you for answers to my questions. However she was the nicest person we dealt with there. This included inquiries about both the back green room and our bar preferences. Specifically, we requested that the green room be empty, and we were assured it would be, yet it was not. On the day of the event, the room was filled with furniture and storage chairs stacked inside. Rather than attempting to accommodate the situation and understand, you offered excuses, explaining that it was not your fault but rather the fault of your new hire, and that you had been up until 4 AM for the previous event. Meanwhile, my event was just a few hours away. We were told that the children would receive juice boxes, but they did not. Additionally, we were promised a mimosa bar would be set up, but on the day of the event, nothing was prepared. When asked if there were any specific drinks we wanted, we requested sangria and margaritas, along with a particular drink for which we provided specific ingredients. They claimed to have all the ingredients except grapefruit juice, which they assured us they could obtain without issue. However, on the day of the event(just hours beforehand), there was absolutely no mimosa bar. The bartender did not have grapefruit juice or the necessary ingredients. I was informed that this was a fully stocked bar. While my family was preparing for the event, I was made aware that you exhibited a complete lack of professionalism and were exceedingly rude to everyone involved in the setup. My family and event planners could hear the shouting directed at the bartender, who was in her office and in the kitchen, just an hour prior to the event. This was once again very uncomfortable and unprofessional. After we attempted to resolve the initial issue with the green room not being vacated, we encountered the problem with the bar, which we then tried to address. However, the unprofessional behavior persisted among the entire staff. I received multiple complaints regarding the bartender's rudeness. He also took it upon himself to close the bar before 2 o'clock. He claimed he had already informed patrons that last call was at 1:58, despite the fact that our contract stipulated we had the venue until three. Once again, there was a complete absence of communication between the you/staff and myself. Additionally, several family members and friends reported that the serving staff were also quite rude when inquiries were made. It is regrettable that this venue is exceptionally beautiful; however, the lack of communication and professionalism significantly detracted from our experience. Many guests praised the beauty of the venue, but I regrettably informed them that I would never consider booking this venue again. There were additional minor points I could mention, but ultimately it came down to you and this business being a poor communicators and unorganized. This is the email I sent to the owner nilzelia santos who was also the point of contact and the main one giving excuses. Not worth your money. She hasn't even responded which goes to show you how much she cares. I'm sure bad review will get a reply tho.

When it did, the children's meals were cold, French fries were frozen and not edible. The adult food was also not fresh. The salad was already dressed with a dressing that tasted like dirty dish water. The person in charge clearly was not organized and turned to the hosts to distribute meals for kids and to carry a sheet cake. I'm thinking that there should be waitstaff to do this and for the money that the hosts paid for this facility they should NOT have had to do these tasks. This is why they had their party at a function hall....so they could entertain and be with their guests! Unless the Bayside gets a new party coordinator and a new caterer I would NEVER have a party/function here.

I found that the system she used to install kayaks on the roof of cars is idiot proof, and the kayak is securely fastened to the top of the car to avoid liability. I also found that any guy could lift a kayak and install it the the roof of a car solo (it's not that heavy), however hauling the kayak fewer for more than 5 feet I recommend two people.
