She helped me secure the kayak to the top of the car, so now I know how to transport kayaks. 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. I refuse to rent anywhere else, and I look forward to renting from Little Harbor Boathouse again.

The event coordinator Briana was such a joy to work with and a trusted partner in making our event come to life! We really appreciated her coordinating with my family in the days leading up to the event to organize the decor, and being so on top of everything. When we first toured the venue in the fall we immediately loved the barn, but what really sealed the deal for us was Briana's calm, collected demeanor, professional communication, and down-to-earth advice that demonstrated her deep understanding of what works in the space and what doesn't--that made us trust her right away. She made the space look so so beautiful! We couldn't have asked for a better evening surrounded by all our favorite people

Both were always helpful and knowledgeable. I had a buffet meal, but ordered kids meals for the littles. We had more kids show up than planned. Debbi was awesome and worked to get meals to the kids I ordered them for and the extras they had made up in case were split between the extra kids. Because our cake was huge/heavy, my husband wanted to help Debbi carry it to the kitchen, but she assured us not to worry and got her staff to help. Thankfully, because I needed him! The ONLY thing I regret is not listening to Debbi during the planning stage. She suggested ordering and appetizer for my guests if I was planning dinner to be served an hour in. I didn't want to spend the money... next time I will. Debbi did bring out the dinner early by 10 minutes, but I know we were all hungry!

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.

Attending as a guest to a wedding, I cannot speak to the cost of the venue or dealing with venue staff. There were outside vendors, so I am not aware of who was affiliated with the venue versus the bar, food service, DJ, etc. Every one was polite and accommodating otherwise. Being a beautiful rustic barn, it was a great wedding. My wife and I had a grand time here. The only downside is the lack of parking. There were outside accomodations with Best Western of Danvers for transport to the venue, which worked out well. It is a factor to consider. The house on the property was delightful as well, a Victorian home with a water fountain and finely manicured landscape around the home. The bridal party, to my knowledge, prepared for the wedding here.

They have the old estate with its beautiful decor, the terrace that looks out over the water, the field with the old tea house, and a stunning garden. Endless photo opportunities! The food from Fireside Catering is absolutely delicious and they have tons of food options. One of the best parts of the venue is the coordinator Laura. She is a ray of sunshine and genuinely kept us from having multiple breakdowns. Laura is very organized and has a wealth of knowledge.
