  • After Party of Our Dreams!

    •Verified review
    •Karli H.•Dec 17

    The Leavitt Theatre was the perfect venue for our wedding after party. From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, easy, and incredibly helpful as we planned all the details. On the day of, the unique, welcoming, and fun atmosphere they created was exactly what we were looking for - the perfect after party vibe that kept the celebration going well into the night. With plenty of space for our guests to keep dancing or lounge and chat, we couldn't have been happier with our experience at The Leavitt Theatre. Highly recommend this venue for any couple looking to host an unforgettable wedding or after party!

    FULL DISCLOSURE- I am actually the Leavitt's Events Coordinator, however this season I simultaneously became a Leavitt Bride. I was genuinely excited to host my wedding at the theatre, but admittedly I also imagined it would give me some helpful insight for work- letting me know where points for improvement were in both the space and the process. What I found out was pleasantly affirming-- we truly had AN INCREDIBLE wedding at The Leavitt. Our ceremony was down the road on Ogunquit Beach, and we paraded up to the theatre like New Orleans met New England! Our guests were greeted with an oyster bar & bubbly and the night went off without a hitch from there. Live music was a big priority for us, and we had a 5-piece band set up on the main stage. After we had our first dance & speeches up there, the space transformed! With the help of professional sound & lighting technicians, our reception felt like a tried and true concert. People are still talking about the ambiance and vibe to this day. The vision for our wedding was to throw a giant party for the people in our lives who helped us get to where we are today. We wanted a space where people could eat, drink, dance & repeat all night. We did not want to get weighed down in other details that were less important to us. I think The Leavitt perfectly mirrored & supported our vision and priorities, and we now have a wedding we TRULY loved as a lifelong memory. Proud to be a part of The Leavitt's wedding program, and very grateful that it's my own family's story, too.

    We had our wedding reception at the Leavitt earlier this month and it was better than we dreamed it would be! Throughout the whole process, Nell was very hands-on which was super helpful as we were planning the wedding ourselves. All of the details like the marquee, the garden, and the string lights, all came together to be so magical. The food was incredible, the bar was amazing and the staff were so attentive. You definitely get your money's worth at this venue and I definitely would come back just as a customer for the great vibes!

    Working with the Leavitt for our wedding reception was the best decision we could have made for our wedding. The venue is gorgeous with multiple different spaces to meet the needs of any size event. We rented the whole campus and it was perfect to give our guests plenty of spaces to party/eat/relax. The bar is cozy and sexy, the theatre was perfect for the live band, and the garden area outside made the perfect space for conversation in the late summer night. Their cocktails are some of the best I’ve ever had, and their kitchen staff was so kind and helpful. Nell, their event manager is incredibly communicative, detail oriented, and just an all around amazing person. She thought of everything to make sure our guests were comfortable and we also got to enjoy ourselves as newlyweds— what else could you ask for?! It was so nice to know that all the details were taken care of and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. I highly recommend The Leavitt for anything related to your wedding— rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, or late night after party. Thank you Leavitt team! You made our wedding “ours”
