My husband and I got married at Walnut Hill in late May and had the most beautiful, intimate wedding. The venue itself brought so much in terms of decor—the gorgeous tree grove, charming barn, in bloom garden—we really only added small touches with florals and tablescapes / seating to bring the event together. As the bride, I also loved that we had the on-location farmhouse to get ready in, watch guests arrive, plus be able to run back to change or touch up during the event. Essie and Mike (venue owners) are incredible to work with, they truly care that you're going to have an amazing time. And Kate, the venue GM / planner, is super organized, has the best attitude, and will make the planning process SO much more fun and exciting. Overall, you just feel taken care of. The Walnut team is also very well connected and respected in the area. Vendors love working with them, which means you get access to a lot of good recommendations, and options to fit your vision. We couldn't recommend the venue or team more!

It’s taken me a while to sit down and write the review that Megan and Steve deserve, sorry for the delay! My husband and I got married at the Whitney Farm Estate in May of 2025. When we had originally booked this venue, it was with different owners so when we heard in December of 2024 that our wedding venue had sold, needless to say we were terrified. There were so many questions running through our minds, but in the end, I think it’s an understatement to say that we lucked out. Megan and Steve were absolutely wonderful. They were helpful, they were kind, and they made everything so easy. They only improved on what we already knew to be an incredibly beautiful property. The number of renovations and projects they completed in the 5 short months between them taking over the venue and our wedding date, it blew us away. The house was big enough to accommodate the majority of our wedding party and immediate family. We had four days on the property, and we enjoyed and used every last second of it. It was so nice to sit in the hot tub at the end of our days of decorating (and on the wedding night itself!). The huge kitchen made it easy to prepare meals for the about 20 people we had staying over the course of the weekend. The speakeasy was a fun and awesome addition to the house that we did not expect but was by far one of the most popular spots for us to end up in throughout our time there. On the wedding day itself, it rained (unfortunately, as I had been very excited to get married under the huge, beautiful birch trees in the backyard, but oh well). Steve showed up to make sure the heat in the barn was working as needed and brought floor mats and umbrellas for the guests. At the end of the night Megan and Steve both checked in with us to make sure everything went as planned. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with them. If I could give 100 stars I would. 10/10 will recommend this place to anyone that wants to listen. We hope to go back in the future, maybe for an anniversary or vow renewal. Our entire family loved this property, and we get asked repeatedly, “when are you getting married again so we can go back there?”. Thank you Megan and Steve, for everything.

On September 21st, 2024 my husband and I got married at Maine Studio Works with 143 guests. We got ready in “studio A” then had our ceremony, dinner and reception in ”studio B”. I don’t even know where to start with how amazing this venue was for our wedding. Great location with a blank canvas that allows you to make the space your own! The best part about using this venue for our wedding was working with the owners, Nora and Zack. Weddings can be stressful and overwhelming but Nora and Zack made it such a fun and positive experience. They went above and beyond as venue owners. They are both easy going, attentive, professional, accommodating and most of all creative when it came to helping us execute our vision in their space. Our favorite things about the space included; having studio A to get ready in, walking out of the big sliding door towards the aisle, having the garage door which opened up to outdoor space, and the tall ceilings which helped the room feel big and not too loud. Our guests were in love with the venue. To this day our guests comment on how cool the space was to get married in and how we were so lucky to work with such a great team. Nora and Zack are two of the most down to earth people I’ve ever met and highly recommend using their space for your next event!

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.
