We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Everlee but we will try! From the moment we first toured this stunning new venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. The barn and pavilion are absolutely breathtaking, with every detail thoughtfully designed, and the outdoor ceremony space gave us the most magical backdrop for our day. One of the things that mattered most to us was having a truly private setting, and The Everlee delivered that perfectly. After touring several venues that felt like we would be on display, it was such a gift to find a place that felt peaceful, secluded, and completely ours for the day - it felt like home as cliché as it sounds. What truly made our experience unforgettable, though, was Andee. She went above and beyond for us every step of the way. Her planning and organizational skills are unmatched—she thought of every little detail before we even knew to ask. Even our families, bridal party, and guests had nothing but amazing things to say about Andee. Beyond her professionalism, Andee is genuinely kind, supportive, and calming, which made the entire planning process so smooth and enjoyable. On our wedding day, we were able to be fully present because we knew we were in the best hands. We wholeheartedly recommend The Everlee to anyone looking for a venue that combines beauty, privacy, functionality, and heart. And if you have the chance to work with Andee, consider yourself incredibly lucky—she is truly a dream coordinator and beautiful person inside and out!

They were extremely helpful in walking us through all the details and ensuring everything was taken care of. The grounds and farmhouse/barn provided a beautiful, clean slate for us to transform into our dream wedding. The rehearsal dinner skating on their private rink could not have been more perfect - everything was communicated ahead of time and Mike was onsite to assist us if needed. I truly do not have enough good things to say about Flanagan Farm.

Based on previous reviews of weddings at the Colony, we lowered our expectations for wedding day but stuck with the venue as it is stunning, large enough for all of our guests, and in our preferred location of Kennebunkport. Our wedding exceeded expectations and was PERFECT, other than the cloudy day. Nicole is the best! Since we started planning over a year ago, there have been three different wedding coordinators at the Colony and we are SO grateful that Nicole was the one with us in the final months and on our day. She really executed every little detail of our day to make it perfect. Nicole provided such great insight and recommendations, a testament to her years of experience. The Colony is lucky to have her! Of course we could not have had such an amazing wedding weekend without the wonderful staff at the Colony. We are seriously blown away by all of the hotel staff and the staff on the day of, they were extremely prompt, professional, and helpful to make our vision come alive and stick to our requested timeline. The chef and kitchen staff were able to serve 190 entrees in 20 minutes, incredible! The food was also delicious, we received several compliments about the appetizers, entrees, late night food, and morning after breakfast. Most of our guests stayed at the Colony and found the rooms lovely and comfortable. The new Coveside rooms provided a great option for guests seeking more modern accommodations.

We are SO grateful that Claudine was a part of our big day. We worked with Claudine as the day of coordinator for our June wedding, but she helped us with much more than that. We knew Claudine and her assistants meant business as soon as they walked in with name tags and big smiles. There was truly a lot to keep track of the entire day— from directing lawn games in the afternoon and ferry departures in the evening, to the unexpected added duty of cake cutting and serving, Claudine was on top of it in every aspect. She was highly organized, very professional, and went above and beyond the entire time. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to her and it truly couldn't have been a better day!

We had our wedding at The Red Barn this past May and everything was beyond perfect! Our wedding coordinator, Alex was so on top of everything during the planning stages and throughout the wedding itself. She is so incredible and we feel so lucky to have worked with her! The entire staff at The Red Barn was so amazing as well. The space is stunning and the food and drinks were incredible. We truly cannot say enough good things about The Red Barn! We had our reception and ceremony indoors and the fireplace backdrop was absolutely perfect. The space itself is beautiful and we really didn’t feel that we needed to do a ton of decorating which lessened stress and saved us on decor costs. However, all we really had to do was drop off what decorations we did have and Alex and her team took care of set up and breakdown with our vendors. We really didn’t have a single worry the weekend of the wedding. The amazing staff at The Red Barn took care of it all. We also stayed at Stage House Inn the weekend of the wedding and got ready there. Darien was a pleasure to work with and made coordinating room blocks so easy! The bridal suite comfortably fit all the girls getting ready (12 total people) plus 4 hair and makeup girls. It was also the perfect room for getting ready photos! We held our rehearsal lunch at The Links restaurant and the staff was so accommodating! We had a last minute reservation for around 25 and they took us no problem. Excellent and affordable food and drinks! Overall we had a perfect experience with every aspect of The Red Barn. We absolutely would recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect spot for their wedding!

We are so happy we stumbled on Tumbledown Farms for our wedding! The barn itself is exactly the rustic vibe we were going for - it’s spacious, airy (the huge ceiling fan was so nice for the summer) and full of twinkle lights! We paid extra to have our ceremony in the pasture - DO IT!! The Highland cows (yes…cows!!!) were witnesses to our wedding and it was such a fun touch for the guests to hang with them during cocktail hour! Kelsee - the venue manager - is absolutely amazing. She was able to answer every random question I threw her way, and helped to setup the space exactly how we wanted it! She’s also been renovating, and for our wedding we had both a bridal suite and grooms suite on site, which was perfect! I’d 100% plan another event there. I highly recommend this venue - for its charm, the cows (duh), and especially the people that work there!!

Beech Ridge Barn is a magical wedding venue in rural Maine. The team went above and beyond to create an amazing August day. The tall purple flowers as a backdrop for the ceremony were breathtaking that day. The wooden bridge over the pond is perfect for photos. We used hanging greenery from the barn rafters, and the flowing white curtains draped from the barn roof added elegance The fairy lights throughout the barn created a touch of magic. We were so impressed by the level of detail and care they put into making our wedding day feel like a dream come true.

That gut feeling that this was somewhere really special never wore off, and I know that all of our guests felt that same feeling throughout the entire weekend. We also don't have enough positive things to say about the Scotland Fields team. My husband and I had a very specific vision about how we wanted our weekend to come together, and the team was nothing but accommodating to allow us to create the weekend that we envisioned. They were responsive when we had questions, helpful when we needed recommendations and guidance, and prompt to resolve anything that came up throughout the weekend (not that there was much of anything to resolve!!).

There aren't enough words to express how grateful we are to the entire team at the Union Bluff Meeting House for giving us the wedding of our dreams. If we could relive our wedding day over and over again, we would choose Union Bluff every single time. When we first started wedding planning, Neico and I struggled to find a venue that truly fit what we envisioned. We knew we wanted an intimate celebration with our closest family and friends, but so many venues seemed geared toward large weddings or made smaller weddings feel like an afterthought. The moment we found Union Bluff and learned about their micro wedding options, we instantly knew we had found the one. It offered everything we were looking with the beauty, elegance, and luxury of a larger venue while still allowing us to have the intimate celebration we had always dreamed of. From our very first conversation, Annie made us feel completely at ease. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but she was always calm, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day special. What meant the most to us was that she never pressured us to make decisions based on trends or tried to upsell us. Instead, she listened to what was important to us, respected our vision, and reassured us every step of the way that everything would come together beautifully. We hosted our entire wedding weekend at Union Bluff, from our guests' accommodations to the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and dining. Every single part of the experience exceeded our expectations. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful it was. The food was incredible and plentiful, the accommodations were clean and comfortable, and every detail was thoughtfully executed. When our wedding day finally arrived, Annie and Gabrielle were nothing short of amazing. Together, they kept everything running so smoothly that we never had to think about logistics. They were always nearby, ready to answer questions from us or our guests, solve problems before we even knew they existed, and make sure everyone felt taken care of. Because of them, we were able to be fully present, soak in every moment, and simply enjoy getting married. I spent months dreaming about every little detail, and seeing everything come together was surreal. Annie and the Union Bluff team brought our vision to life even more beautifully than we imagined. Every decoration was exactly where it belonged, every transition was seamless, and every part of the day felt effortless. Looking back, one of the greatest gifts they gave us was peace of mind. The Union Bluff Meeting House didn't just provide us with a beautiful venue, they created an experience that our families, friends, and we will cherish forever. To Annie, Gabrielle, and the entire staff: thank you for caring so deeply about what you do. Your kindness, professionalism, and genuine dedication made our wedding unforgettable, and we will always be grateful. If you're looking for a venue that combines breathtaking scenery, exceptional food, comfortable accommodations, and a team that truly cares about bringing your vision to life, we cannot recommend the Union Bluff Meeting House enough. Choosing Union Bluff was one of the best decisions we made, and we would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

The Greenhouse at Highland Farm

Scarborough, ME
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $9,500

Maine's only greenhouse event venue exclusively designed for wedding receptions and ceremonies. 2021 marks 72 years of Highland Farm’s history in Scarborough, Maine. From the beginning, the property has been operating as a greenhouse. In fact, in the 1800’s, Highland Farm was the largest supplier of cut flowers in the Northeast. Highland Farm is a family owned and operated business, and the undeniable sense of family and welcome energy is palpable the moment you step on the grounds. The saying is true here: “you come as strangers and leave as family.” The Greenhouse and The Farm has been run by 3rd generation owners, Joe and Christine since 2008, but Joe and Christine’s involvement in the farm runs far deeper than ownership. In 2009, the couple was married in one of the working greenhouses

We chose The Greenhouse at Highland Farm for our wedding and it was absolutely the right call. From our first conversation, the they were quick to respond and easy to work with. They answered all our questions and made us feel taken care of. Their flower rentals transformed the space into something breathtaking, and the lush greenery created the picturesque backdrop we'd been dreaming of.

We're so grateful we found them and can't recommend them enough to other couples.

The Barn at Union Lake Orchard was a decent venue for our wedding, though they had some issues with management that caused a hassle. Their communication was decent, and they were responsive to our questions leading up to the big day. The venue itself was beautiful and great value for the price, with a lovely rustic charm that fit our vision perfectly. However, they lost our final payment check, which led to some unnecessary stress trying to get it resolved. Overall, the venue was a nice backdrop for our wedding, but the management could use some improvement.

Brewster Academy was the perfect place to host our wedding. First of all, the views from the spot are absolutely amazing - right on the lake, with a sunset view of the lake and mountains in the background. We loved having our ceremony and taking photos along the waterfront (and there are a bunch of different spots for photos). The use of the boathouse is great - it's a great building for people to hang out, store stuff, use bathrooms, etc. Everyone we worked with at Brewster was super organized, friendly, and communicative. We had nice weather, and our guests loved playing yard games outside of our reception tent. Plenty of room on the field for caterers to set up prep tents, etc. too. Highly recommend!

Fortland is truly the best wedding venue ever!! We got married there in August and it was better than we could have imagined. From the start, Ashley and Stacey were incredible to work with. Fortland isn’t a plug-and-play venue, which is part of why we chose it, but it also means having a team who really knows the island matters. They helped us think through how to use each space and shared ideas from past weddings that made our weekend feel personal and helped imagine how a wedding could work out in such a unique place. We did a full island takeover, which I would recommend if you can swing it. Our wedding parties stayed in the tents all weekend and it ended up being one of the highlights. Even friends who don’t ever camp were comfortable and fully into it immediately. Our rehearsal dinner on the overlook deck was stunning, and wrapping the night around the campfire was super fun for both us and our friends and family. On Saturday, we used every part of the island we could. The ceremony on the dock was calm and beautiful, looking out towards Fort Gorges and sailboats. Cocktail hour on the parade ground overlooking Casco Bay felt quintessentially Maine. Stefan offered an optional fort tour that a surprising number of guests loved. Dinner inside the bastion as the sun set through the stone windows was unreal. Then we had a band under the community tent and it turned into the kind of party you hope for but can’t fully plan. Every shift in location made the next part of the night feel new and exciting. The staff really makes Fortland what it is. Katrina and Stefan, the owners, care deeply about the property and about the people getting married there, and you feel that all weekend. Grace and Jo were the caretakers on the island with us all weekend and were so fun and easy to be around while also being incredibly on top of everything. If you’re looking for a traditional ballroom wedding, this isn’t that. But if you want an experience where your guests feel immersed, connected, and a little bit off the grid in the best way, Fortland is hard to beat. We'll definitely be visiting Fortland again every chance we can get.

The View at Pepperrell Cove was an absolute dream for our wedding reception! This spot has always been our favorite restaurant on the Seacoast, so choosing it as our wedding venue was a no-brainer. With all of our guests traveling in from out of town, we wanted to give them a true taste of the Seacoast—and this venue captured it perfectly. From the stunning waterfront views to the cozy, coastal ambiance, it felt like Maine magic. Working with Dionna, the wedding coordinator, was a highlight of the planning process. Her communication was always prompt and clear, and she went above and beyond to make sure every detail came together seamlessly. We truly felt supported the whole way through. And the food... WOW. Meeting with their incredible chef, Eides, was such a special part of our planning experience. He worked with us to create a menu that reflected our favorite flavors and seasonal ingredients, and the result was beyond anything we could have imagined. Guests are still talking about the food—and when you’re investing in a wedding, having that be everyone’s favorite part just feels so good. We truly can’t recommend The View at Pepperrell Cove enough. From the staff to the service, the views to the cuisine, everything was flawless. We’re already dreaming about hosting future celebrations here. Our guests even joked we should make it an annual tradition—because it was that memorable. If you’re considering a wedding on the Seacoast, this is an easy YES!
