“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! The cabins are comfortable with stunning views, the food was out of this world, and we felt so welcome and comfortable as a queer couple. We wouldn't change a thing about our experience at Attean Lake Lodge.”

“When I found Penobscot Bay Estate in my endless spiral of Google searches, I knew it was exactly where I wanted to get married. We locked in immediately after our virtual tour. It captured our hearts as a peaceful, coastal, tented venue with stunning waterfront views and authentic Maine charm. Having full-weekend access to utilize the property made it feel like the ultimate getaway. I was asked several times by guests why we were making them travel so far, but the second they set foot onto the estate, they understood. There is a deeply personal, meaningful charm built into all the little details across the property. The onsite Speakeasy is absolutely incredible and served as the perfect backdrop for our welcome party the night before the wedding. Emerald, the owner, is so friendly, personable, and hands-on. You can truly tell she has poured herself and her family story into this magnificent venue. A special shoutout to their staff member, Dean, who worked his way into all of our hearts! He went above and beyond making sure everyone was comfortable and happy, even riding my nephews around on the golf cart. We will always have the fondest memories of our time at Penobscot Bay Estate, and our only sadness is that the weekend had to end! Photo cred Julie K Gray”

“My husband and I are coming up on a year of getting married at Bear Mountain in November 2024. After being caught up in the life of newlyweds and reflecting a year later- we wish we could relive the weekend all over again. We had a seamless and effortless time planning the wedding with all of the different people at Bear Mountain including Jessica. This venue was only the second stop when looking for our spot to get married. Once we pulled into the quintessential New England venue- we were sold. It also helped we just had a fresh, heavy snowfall to make everything look even more magical. On our wedding weekend, we loved that we had an extra night just to ourselves before guests arrived. The day of rehearsal we both got the best massages in the spa cottage, and had incredible personal breakfasts delivered to the couples cottage every morning. Our friends and family still rave about the wedding, the views of the lake, the bar, the timeless and classic barn with gorgeous chandeliers. The ceremony view was unmatched as the sunset. They loved the food and the cocktail hour on the patio with fire pits and heaters after the sun set. We love that we live so close and drive by occasionally when heading north. It’s also so sweet that we have the ability to return to book a sweet cozy stay in any season, but especially our anniversary. It’s also special that they host events year round that we can join as well. My husband and I recommend this venue to anyone and everyone looking for a sweet, personal, and cozy wedding venue. Thank you to Nick and Jessica for making our wedding one we will dream about as we grow old together!”

“My wife Emily and I could not have asked for a better spot to celebrate our wedding. The venue itself is straight out of a postcard: well-tended lawns and blueberry fields surround a classic New England bed home and post-and-beam barn, which mix classic charm with modern updates and all the amenities you could hope for. We stayed in the wedding suite, a sun-filled, comfortable space with great views where we could slip away from the hubbub for a few minutes alone, and jump right back into the party as soon as we were ready. The field in front of the house, where we held our ceremony, overlooks a panoramic view of forested islands, the sailboat-dotted cove, and the ocean beyond. The staff at Sea Winds was as lovely as the place itself. The venue manager and coordinator maintained open, consistent communication with our vendors and our wedding planner, ensuring that everything went smoothly during planning, setup, and on the day itself. The competence and hard work of the folks at Sea Winds allowed Emily and me to focus on simply enjoying the day, instead of stressing about details and logistics. All in all, our wedding was amazing, full of laughter and love, spontaneity and joy, great food and music and a felt sense of community. During and after the event, one guest after another remarked that it was the most fun they'd ever had at a wedding. Of course, this had everything to do with the incredible work of our vendors, our planner, our band, and of course the crew at Sea Winds. But it also had to do with the magic of the place itself, this home and property that has been stewarded with care for so many years, that has hosted many a joyous gathering, that is imbued with the warmth of the dappled sun and the refreshing breeze coming in off the ocean. Simply put, Sea Winds is magic, and that magic elevated our wedding from a well-planned, enjoyable event to an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experience.”

“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.

“We had an amazing experience with our wedding venue and couldn’t have asked for a better weekend! Everything was clean, organized, and ran so smoothly from start to finish. We stayed at the hotel for the entire weekend, enjoyed lunch by the pool, and were able to truly relax and enjoy the experience with our family and friends. Colleen, our coordinator, and Alexis, her assistant, were absolutely wonderful. They made the entire wedding day feel easy and stress-free, and they did an incredible job bringing all of our wishes to life. It meant so much to be able to enjoy our day without worrying about the little details because we knew everything was being taken care of.

“We could not have dreamed of a more perfect place to get married than Fortland. From the setting to the incredible team, our entire experience was truly unforgettable. Getting married on House Island, just off the coast of Portland, felt so quintessentially Maine and made our wedding unlike anything we—or our guests—had ever experienced. Months later, our guests are still talking about it and telling us it was the coolest wedding venue they’ve ever been to! Between arriving by boat, the ocean views, the historic Bastion, and the feeling of being on a little island together, there was something so special and memorable about the entire experience. The Fortland and Coastal Elegance teams were an absolute dream to work with. Throughout the planning process, everyone was incredibly helpful, responsive, and accommodating. They answered every question we had, joined additional planning meetings with our vendors, and even helped accommodate trips to the island so we could make sure everything would come together the way we envisioned it. On the wedding day itself, I felt completely taken care of. I truly didn’t have to worry about a thing. There was always someone nearby with water, lip gloss, or whatever I needed, and if something went wrong, I never knew about it—it was simply handled. I was able to be completely present and enjoy the day with my husband, family, and friends, which is something I will always be grateful for. Fortland gave us a wedding day that felt incredibly personal, beautiful, and completely unique to us. We are so grateful for everyone who helped make it happen and would wholeheartedly recommend Fortland to anyone looking for a wedding venue that is truly unlike anywhere else. We wish we could do it all over again!”

“My husband and I had the most amazing wedding weekend at Newagen this June. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we both knew it was where we wanted to get married. Having all of our closest family and friends stay on-site for the entire weekend was such a special experience and something we will cherish forever. Abby and Maura were incredible every step of the way throughout the planning process. No matter how many wedding planning questions I had, they were always quick to respond and happy to help. They truly held my hand throughout the process and helped bring my Pinterest board to life. Since all of our guests were traveling from out of state, the lobster bake was the perfect way for everyone to meet and connect before the wedding day. It created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere and is something I would highly recommend to any couple getting married at Newagen. Our wedding day was magical from start to finish. From exchanging private vows overlooking the ocean and sharing breakfast with our guests to late-night bowling after the reception, every moment felt special. Our guests are still raving about the food, the exceptional service, and the seamless flow of events throughout the weekend. From the reception to the after-party, everything transitioned effortlessly. What truly sets Newagen apart is its staff. From the servers and bartenders to the event team, everyone went above and beyond to make our weekend unforgettable. Our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about every interaction they had. Thanks to the incredible planning and attention to detail from the Newagen team, our wedding day went off without a hitch. Months later, my husband and I still find ourselves talking about how much fun we had and how incredibly special the entire weekend was. It was the perfect way to begin our marriage surrounded by the people we love most. We cannot wait to return to Newagen in the years to come and relive so many wonderful memories. It will always hold a special place in our hearts.”

“Bear Spring Camps was the perfect spot to have our Maine lakeside wedding. Our guests raved all weekend about the cabins they were staying in and just how stunning and peaceful the scenery was. The Churchill’s were excellent communicators throughout the entire process and so easy to work with. We had our wedding in September of 2025- the weather was beautiful and the established hydrangeas and landscape lent itself to amazing wedding photos. I cannot recommend Bear Springs enough if you want an elevated Maine camp experience for your wedding.”

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!!). We could not recommend this venue more highly, and will forever be grateful for the weekend that Scotland Fields allowed us to curate!”

“From all of us, thank you!! You, Katie (Purple Orchid Event), Tess (Floralia Designs Studio), Leah (Leahs Lens) took everything Maddy, and I had envisioned and somehow made it even more beautiful than we imagined. Every detail came together so perfectly and seeing it all unfold was incredibly special, right down to the set-up of the Lighthouse and make-up vendor. It was all stunning! We are still receiving emails, calls, and notes from guests telling us what an amazing time they had. That says so much about you and your entire staff. The food was superb, the venue was spectacular, and everyone was so gracious and accommodating. You truly made our family, and guests feel cared for from beginning to end. I said to Mike that I loved having my own wedding there 30 years ago, but there was something especially magical about celebrating Maddy’s wedding there all these years later. As Mike keeps saying, “It was epic!” And it truly was. A very special thank-you as well to our friend Roger, who truly understands the meaning of “customer service.” We told him our paths just may cross again in Jamaica! And to Les, thank you for all your help with the boats and for tending to every little detail at our cozy house next to Ledgers. It was those thoughtful touches and acts of kindness throughout the weekend that made everything feel even more special. We appreciated them more than we can say. I know your job requires an incredible amount of patience, attention to detail, and grace, and you bring all of that so naturally. You and everyone at Sebasco helped turn a vision into a memory our family will treasure forever. We could not be more grateful. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for making our daughters beautiful dream COME TRUE! See you next season on the water at Sebasco Harbor! Love Kim & Mike McAuliffe”

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.

About wedding venues in Maine

Maine's rugged coastlines, historic properties and enchanting forests create the perfect backdrop for your special day. When you choose Maine, you're embracing both natural splendor and authentic New England charm. The venues here showcase the state's distinctive character in ways you won't find elsewhere; everything from harbor views to stunning mountain backdrops will make your celebration truly memorable.

What Makes Maine an Ideal Wedding Destination?

You can host an oceanfront ceremony with crashing waves as your soundtrack or create a rustic barn celebration surrounded by spectacular fall foliage. Venues here average about $9,229 which takes up roughly 17% of a typical wedding budget, giving you exceptional value while still providing those breathtaking backdrops you're looking for. The average wedding costs approximately $53,369 for 150 guests.

How Can Maine Venues Enhance Remote Participation?

Venues like Marianmade Farm in Wiscasset and Linekin Bay Resort in Boothbay Harbor offer beautiful settings that go beyond simple streaming for your remote guests.
