Powered by GoogleMy daughter got married this weekend at the EPYC and the service was outstanding. The location cannot be beat as you have the water, view of Boston skyline, schooners sailing in and out, plus the sunset. The bride and groom get a nice boat ride for pictures. The staff is attentive and well trained. They respond to any request and are easy going allow you to create the experience you want. The food also is very good from appetizers to dinner. I could not have asked for a better experience. This venue is easy to work with for a stressful event.
Stunning venue for a wedding or private event on the ocean. Check out this cute couple I photographed at EPYC. Gloucester Ma
Eastern Point Yacht Club was the wedding venue for one of my couples, and they were amazing to work with! Their property is right on the water, and has a dock and boats to go out on. The building itself is gorgeous. The couple had an outdoor under-tent wedding that was heated and had close access to nice bathrooms indoors. The food was fantastic, and all of the service workers were very respectful and helpful!
This is one of my two favorite retreat centers. With the remodel of the dorm area, it is close to luxurious. Guided retreats in the Ignatian tradition are available of varying length. Worth the wait to get back here. Very peaceful and spiritual.
What did I like? Seriously?? Not much. The halibut was gross - dried out and exactly where were the macadamia nuts? Encrusted on what? Not the fish. Service was very bad. Hey wait staff - when customers ask how to order drinks it means we are actually asking for help NOT for you to point us to the bar, and glibly go on your way. dining waitstaff were extremely unfriendly and unhelpful - yet you are automatically forced to pay an 18% gratuity... I think this crowd should know better... Probably ok if you're off your boat and order from the kiddy menu. Other than that. Avoid.
