Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I were married at Walnut Hill in July of last year and we had the best day of our lives there! Mike and Essie were an absolute pleasure to work with - they were so friendly and accommodating throughout the process. The entire property is so beautiful, from the Barn itself (and its attached, charming country house which can sleep up to 12 if memory correctly serves), the newly redone patio beside the barn, the sprawling lawn and last but certainly not least, the ceremony area (the main reason fell in love with this location!). The ceremony area lets the perfect amount of light in, which in our case was especially great since it kept our guests (and ourselves) cooler on what was a 90 degree day! It is also equipped with speakers surrounding it which is really helpful for whatever sort of musical arrangements you have for the most important part of the day. Cocktail hour was out on the patio. The massive tree nearby provided shade to those who needed to step out of the sun for a few. We had our reception in the barn. It is HVAC-equipped which was key on such a hot day. We had a little under 70 guests so we had plenty of room for a full band and dance floor in the middle, but I think you could fit double that size without much trouble at all. The barn also has a bar built in which was such a great touch. I would recommend The Barn On Walnut Hill to anyone looking for an intimate, all-inclusive venue. It really is one of the best spots in the Portland, ME area, if not all of Maine in my book. Thanks again Mike and Essie! -Pat

Hardy Farm c.1750

5.0

Fryeburg, ME
  • Up to 180 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Established in 1750 as an English land grant in the picturesque White Mountains of Maine (then the “Massachusetts Bay Colony”), Hardy Farm remained in the same family for ten generations prior to being purchased by Greg and Deborah Link in 2001. After a The Links transformed Hardy Farm into a very special and unique “rustic elegant” venue for weddings and events offering an authentically historic feel, with a distinctly unique ambiance of contemporary yet rustic elegance featuring all of today's modern amenities. Hardy Farm accommodates up to 32 people overnight and the property encompasses 13 acres with beautiful gardens and stone patios, fire pit, the farmhouse, barn, lodge, woodland chapel, and their own 103’ sailcloth tent. Guests at Hardy Farm enjoy the beautiful rural New England setting with convenient proximity to North Conway, NH, and the Mt. Washington Valley, offering a myriad of year-round outdoor activities.

We could not be happier with this venue. It was charming, cozy, and all our guests fell in love with it. The owners were amazing to work with and made us feel comfortable and warm and were attentive to every need and question. There is not a single thing more we could have asked for. And not to mention- it is stunning and magical.

Bear Mountain Inn + Barn

5.0

Waterford, ME
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Fresh. Hip. Relaxing. Perfectly perched at the base of Maine’s White Mountains, in the lakes region of Waterford. Our modern farmhouse offers a private buy-out and lakefront event venue that marries heritage and luxury with the modern amenities that today’s authentic traveler craves. One hour from Portland, 2.5 hours from Boston. The desired destination, Bear Mountain Inn and The Barn provides a divine indoor and outdoor space. We offer setup/breakdown, Wedding Venue Coordination, lodging, fire pits and wonderful ceremony sites. Create with us the perfect lifetime memory, uniquely tailored for you.

This review is a long time coming. Partially because I can't believe our special weekend is over (we got married 10/07/23), but also because I needed to figure out how to sum up the experience and utter bliss Jess, Nick, and the whole Bear Mountain Crew provided. First I would like to say, my husband and I decided to have an out of state wedding which required so much research but when we first signed our contract with the prior owners Brian and Julie, we simply couldn't believe the space. It had everything we could have ever imagined. A beautiful historic barn, incredible views, a shimmering lake, home baked welcome cookies, it was cozy and charming and somehow felt like home from the first moment we stepped foot on the property. When the inn was sold, to be honest at first we were extremely nervous. Would it feel the same? Would we be able to still execute the way we intended? So many questions, especially for an out of state wedding. From the jump, Jess and Nick as well as Cassie (the inn's wedding coordinator) made all of our worries melt away. The lengths they went to ensure we felt supported was truly incredible. The most amazing thing is, they did this from the bottom of their hearts, it surpassed any form of fleeting customer service. They treated us like family, and with how many weddings and events they have in a year, it is truly incredible they always went the extra yard, even when it wasn't anticipated or expected. They exceeded the contractural promises, and having Nick as our caterer for some of our events (rehearsal dinner and brunch) it made it even more special. We had rain the morning of our wedding, and up until that point I convinced myself weather was not going to be a thing. Even with this scenic change, they did an immaculate job transforming the spaces to fit our needs and the flow we were looking for, and honestly it was more beautiful than we could have wished for. I was so nervous with the rain, as we had a lot of guests and had a separate tent for dinner, the staff was even outside in the rain with umbrellas for anyone moving from the barn to the tent. Everyone said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, even with the rain, and that is a direct result of the care and dedication of Jess and Nick and the standard/expectation they uphold. If you have the opportunity, I highly suggest a holiday weekend, especially if it is an out of state wedding. The day after the wedding we were able to soak it all in and it will forever go down in our book as the best way to have everyone we love together in an intimate space since the whole inn was just ours, moments frozen in time. We are forever grateful for Jess and Nick and the whole Bear Mountain team. I could go on forever about the special little shining moments that made it magical. Now that we are married, we have a place that will forever be a part of our story that we can visit and one day (hopefully haha) show our kids. Thank you will never be enough, and I believe this was the best decision we could have ever made for our wedding.
