They were kind, professional, and just really awesome to be around!! We were continuously laughing and having the time of our lives, they made everything so comfortable and easy! As a bride, stressing that everything turns out perfect is always the top of my mind. But not while working with Erica and Hillary, they put so much work into the photos I was instantly excited to see the end result... And I was right to be, my mind is blown away by the photos I have seen so far and I cannot wait to see the rest of them. They did a phenomenal job and are worth EVERY PENNY SPENT!! I highly recommend using Closer North for any event!!

Erica was great to work with over the phone- very understanding and flexible and wiling to help me make the day special! And Hilary and Ami were great onsite- they got pictures discreetly and didn't distract from the main events. They were understanding of tricky family dynamics. They were willing to battle harsh terrain and blustery winds. They were just fantastic and made it easy for us to have the shots we wanted. I love our pictures and we'll be framing a bunch of them for display all over our home!!

Throughout both processes Brian and Laurel were amazing. Not only is their work phenomenal but they are fantastic to work with. Whenever we had questions or wanted to talk they made themselves available quickly and answered all of our questions. On the day of both times they showed up early, stayed late, and made the process seamless and easy. Could not recommend them enough, we already plan on using them for future family photo shoots.

We had our rehearsal dinner at the beautiful barn on their property. The inside of the barn is absolutely gorgeous and didn't really need to be decorated as the appearance is gorgeous as is and they had some decorations already there. It was so easy and so much fun, everyone was able to relax and enjoy our time together. The ceremony was beautiful as was the reception. The spot is incredibly gorgeous. They had all tables, chairs, linens and everything else we needed to accommodate the 150 people that were there. We couldn't have done it without Julie, Charles and there beautiful family that put in so much effort and made us feel at home. We highly recommend this venue and couldn't be happier. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed there time too! Thank you Kelleys Place on the Cove!!!

Nikki, our bartender, and a British gentleman (his name escaping me now is evidence of Nikki's efficacy) were so dedicated to our happiness. All meals were prepared with extra attention toward my gluten allergy. On night one separate plates with home made gluten free Mac n cheese were brought to us when we were ready to sit. We didn't even have to ask, it was like they knew us for years!! When my partner and I, lost in the throws of romance and waterfront, got a hankering for a Classic French 75, this company, but specifically the two mentioned above, accommodated our every whim with a smile! They were politely masked, consciously distanced, and professional as can be! Though we only spent a few total hours in each other's company over three days, they learned our names, our tastes, and our personalities! We will be reaching out to these brilliant and fantastic caterers for our next big to do in Maine!!

Not sure what went wrong, but there were several complaints about the condition of the food (ie, medium well steak came almost rare, vegetables were 'cool', ). We commented to our server, who was usually the bar tender but one server didn't come in. So, it was a combination of things, but no one came to us to 'explain' or offer assistance. After one of our party commented on it, we were all given a 20% discount on our meals, but it did not end well. Beware!

I understand their reasoning for not disturbing other guests but I would not hv booked this hotel if I had known in advance. It was an expensive cottage that really cramped our vacation.

The reviews are all great and that is for a reason. The place is awesome. The location is awesome. The hosts are awesome and last but not least, the breakfast is awesome. The rooms have great views and the beds are very comfortable. It is super relaxing too. Luckily, the weather cooperated with sunny and temps in the 70s. We even saw a bear while taking a hike in Acadia. Check this place out and you won't regret it. That is IF you get a reservation. Everyone wants to go here! Hint: Book early as they are only open from May to October! We hope to go back next year. Jim/Margaret Clemmens Towson, Maryland.
