Attean Lake Lodge was the perfect venue for our wedding! Josie was always responsive, reasonable and kind throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is a gorgeous, magical private oasis with spectacular views, charm and ambiance - all at an amazing price. Josie was super flexible and really allowed us to execute our day however we wanted, from hand picking the menu to assisting all of our guests with their bags and even making extra late night trips to pick up late arrivals. The entire staff at Attean were a complete joy to work with. Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true!

We put our heart and soul into crafting the space while using our own wedding planning experience to provide extra unique details with future couples in mind. Now that we have celebrated our own wedding here we are excited to share the venue with others! We love connecting with our couples and can't wait to meet you too!

Venue considerations

  • Limited cleanup and setup services

Choosing Autumn Lane Estate was hands down the best decision we made during our wedding planning process! Having the entire weekend to celebrate made everything feel so relaxed and special, and it turned our wedding into a full experience rather than just a single day. Mackenzie, Nicole, and Dan were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Their attention to detail and organization made the planning process seamless. The day-of coordination allowed us to truly enjoy every moment without a single worry. The entire Autumn Lane Estate team was amazing. The venue itself is perfect. Having both the tent and the barn was great. Two separate spaces to eat and dance made transitioning to the dance floor easy and once the music started, no one wanted to sit down again! The cottages and cabins were another huge highlight. Having our family and friends stay on-site made it feel like a vacation getaway. Mackenzie and Dan have poured their hearts into this venue, and you can feel it in every detail. They genuinely want your weekend to be the best weekend ever. We can’t recommend Autumn Lane Estate enough. They are the best!

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. Beech Ridge Barn is an exceptional venue that I would highly recommend to any couple looking for a unique and memorable setting.

We worked with Board Landing for a wedding celebration in August of 2022. The venue is beautiful and pastoral, and lent itself well to having both the ceremony down by the water and reception up the hill overlooking the Bay. It would a pleasure to work there again in the future -- if you're looking to have a wedding that exudes summertime charm in Maine, this is a sure bet.
