Beautiful grounds, well lit and clear paths to get to the trees easily, and the trees themselves were impressively manicured. It was worth the drive from Exeter, even considering we drove by several other options to get there. We had a car full of family (8 people), including my wife's elderly parents. When we arrived, the staff was friendly and made accommodations for my in-laws so that they were involved in our experience as well. The prices were on point with other farms, but the quality of the trees was noticeably above others. When they found out that my son had just returned from a tour in the middle-east, they thanked him for his service an even gave us a discount on the tree! Can't recommend them enough! Best experience in a long time, and they made our families Christmas.

Darlene took care of us from the first day we met in December of 2013, right through the very end of our amazing wedding day. She was extremely helpful with suggestions, recommendations and small pointers that really showed her experience in coordinating not only the reception, but also the ceremony. She made our wedding day so seamless, we cannot say enough about how helpful she really was. The venue is classic, yet modern, and so much fun. Our ceremony was on the lawn next to the Union Bluff restaurant and hotel, which overlooks a bustling beach and a light ocean breeze. After the ceremony, our photographer took us across the street to take pictures on the benches, sidewalks, in the arcade, and bowling alley, which was really fun and the pictures came out really nice. The reception afterwards and dinner went perfect! Darlene's staff was polite, funny, fast, and did a great job, even with special requests from our guests. With the great weather we had, the doors to the outside stone patio were opened and the outdoor bar service was available for the guests. The whole wedding went so well and was so much fun, it of course went by too fast. If you're considering having your wedding here, take our word for it - Darlene and the Meeting House staff will make your day easy and will take care of everything for you, allowing you to enjoy your spouse, family, friends, and best of all - your wedding day! People are still talking about how beautiful and fun our wedding was. We are so excited to return to the Union Bluff to see Darlene.

For WEDDING VENUE: When my now husband and I booked this…read morevenue for our 2020 Wedding back in January of 2019, similarly to the rest of the world, we never could have guessed that COVID-19 would hit in 2020 and devastate not only our nation but the whole world! When we met Darlene, the Union Bluff (UB) event Coordinator in 2019, she was wonderful and so was the venue and her suggestions for nearby vendors...however, when COVID struck our dealings with Darlene and the UB quickly became nothing but stressful! We had put down over $5,000 worth of deposits towards our wedding and reception with the UB at this point and our potential guest count limit of 200 was being cut to 50 guests due to COVID Precautions by the State of Maine. We understood these precautions of course, however, what we did not feel was reasonable was that the UB refused to refund any portion of our deposit given the extreme circumstances which were COVID despite the fact that every other couple we spoke with getting married at other venues were able to get their deposit back even though other venues "contracts" say "non-refundable" also...Other venues were being understanding that COVID was not just any typical reason a wedding could have been canceled or changed and for that matter the UB's "contract" says we were allowed to invite 200 guests and now they could not uphold their end of the "contract" either... As 2020 couples we were given 3 options: 1) move your whole wedding to 2021 but also pay 2021 prices, 2) keep your date with COVID restrictions and reduce your price only to the food/beverage minimum per the original contract 3) "keep and move" option keep your current date and if COVID improves have your wedding as planned but book another date later in 2020 or in 2021 (paying 2021 prices) ...all of which offered NO money returned at all that was previously deposited. These were the options no matter how close you were to your wedding date also when the State regulations for COVID were changing almost weekly when COVID was at its worst in April/ May of 2020. My husband and I opted to have our ceremony at the UB since that was our dream and we could not get our money back and have many elderly family members that may not make it to see us get married in 2021 and move our reception to a New Hampshire Venue with more flexibility. All of our interactions with the UB and Darlene after COVID began were stressful and frankly, difficult because they were unreasonable about using money we already paid them towards our wedding, towards our Lawn ceremony needs. I wouldn't wish this on anyone! If you get married here ask them to CHANGE THE CONTRACT! Don't sign for a non-refundable deposit! Good luck!

We were spending a long weekend in the area and, as we tend to do whenever we travel, started…read morelooking for places to sample local drinks. We normally go brewery hopping, but if the town we're staying in has a winery, we make a point of stopping there too. So we ended up here for one very specific reason: we wanted to sit down, relax and try a couple of wine flights. We didn't do the tour and we didn't order food, so those aren't things I can personally comment on, but the wine experience alone was excellent. I did the white wine flight and my wife went with the red, and we were both genuinely impressed. Neither of us likes wine that is overly sweet or syrupy, and these were exactly what we were looking for. The wines had much more depth and character than I expected, with robust flavors that made the flights fun to work through rather than simply tasting like different versions of the same thing. My favorite was the House White Reserve. I could have happily sat there with a glass of that for the rest of the afternoon. The service was probably the biggest surprise. Our server took the time to explain the wines and answer our questions without making the experience feel overly formal or pretentious. That's important with a tasting. I want someone who knows what they're talking about, but I don't want to feel like I'm taking an exam before I'm allowed to enjoy my glass. We were made to feel completely comfortable, and even though we ended up staying later than we originally intended, nobody rushed us out the door. We sat outside on the front patio, which made the whole afternoon even better. There was live entertainment while we were there, with a gentleman playing guitar and singing, and it created exactly the sort of relaxed atmosphere you hope to find when you're away for a long weekend. Good wine, comfortable outdoor seating, live music and nowhere we particularly needed to be. That's a pretty good combination. Our only real regret is that we didn't order food. We've heard a lot of good things about the eatery, and after seeing what was coming out of the kitchen while we were there, I definitely wish we'd planned for a meal. We were focused on the wine flights that day, but next time we're coming back with our appetites as well. I really enjoyed this stop. The wine was excellent, the service was outstanding, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the whole experience felt like exactly what a winery visit should be. If you're in the area and enjoy wine, I'd definitely recommend stopping in and trying a flight. We'll be back, and next time we're staying for dinner too.

But as a casual wine drinker, I really liked this place. We didn't order any of the food, but I did try a flight of their reds, all made not with grapes but a variety of local berries. I didn't get to sample any of their meads, but it's cool that they have them on the menu. We drank our wine outside on the lovely front patio, but they also have indoor seating both on the first floor as well as on the second floor where there was a musician performing. Good atmosphere, nice people working there, definitely worth a visit when you're in town.

Being a NH local, as soon as we toured The View we knew it was the venue for us. Donna & team made every step of the process exceed expectations - from our tasting to the wedding day it was everything we could have hoped for and more. The food was incredible, thank you Chef Eides! We had people complementing it for weeks after the wedding (the house made lemon cheesecake, wow). We wish we could go back and re-live our day over and over again because it was that good. The service and execution that Donna, Eides, and the entire Pepperrell Cove staff offer is next level. We can't recommend this venue enough. Thank you SO MUCH for making it the best day of our lives. Taylor & Justin Jones

I planned the…read moreevent on a short timeline and Donna was great to work with throughout the process - very responsive and accommodating. Of course the view of Pepperrell Cove is breathtaking, but the real star of the show here is the food. We were able to custom tailor the menu to be exactly what we wanted to serve, and it was all made on-site from fresh ingredients - something that is not easy to find at event venues. My family is Italian, from New York and hard to please when it comes to food, and they were all raving about every single dish that was served. Donna's assistance leading up to the event in coordinating with vendors and her hands-on presence during event night made the process seamless. I didn't have a wedding planner / day-of coordinator, and ended up not needing one - she made everything happen perfectly, even making sure our elderly guests had easy access to their seats. I couldn't recommend The View more for a wedding!
