We had our wedding at the 1830 Wedding Barn in September 2023. During the planning process the ownership of the barn changed hands, but we ultimately had a good experience with the new owners, Molly and Brian. They were kind, professional and helpful. The barn has an outdoor ceremony site under an apple tree as well as accommodations to have an indoor ceremony as well. We ended up having an indoor ceremony due to weather and utilized the venue's arbor (flowers not included). The inside of the barn is rustic and felt quite cozy in the evening with Edison bulb string lights twinkling. There are two newly updated restrooms attached to the barn and a live-edge wooden bar that adds to the rustic barn feel. Overall, we had a special day we will never forget at the 1830 Wedding Barn.

From the very beginning, the team at The Granite Rose made the entire planning process feel easy, organized, and joyful. Jillian, Anna, Lily, and Briana were incredible every step of the way. During planning, they were also extremely helpful in working within our budget, helping us get the best possible value while never taking anything away from the guest experience. Everything felt thoughtful, intentional, and worth every penny. We brought in a lot of our own décor and were able to drop everything off the day before. When I arrived on my wedding day and saw the room, I was completely blown away. The setup was absolutely perfect — even better than I could have imagined. As a bride, I felt completely stress-free, knowing every single detail was being handled. A very special shoutout to Jillian, who stayed with us through all of the formalities and made sure the entire day ran smoothly. Her calm, reassuring presence allowed us to truly enjoy every moment without worrying about timelines or logistics. Victoria, the General Manager, is truly exceptional — fun, warm, professional, and incredibly organized. She made the entire experience feel joyful and seamless. Our Banquet Captain, Lucas, ensured everything ran flawlessly. Grace, Michael, Kiara, and Elijan provided amazing service throughout the night. The food was absolutely delicious thanks to Chef Jim and Sous Chef Corey, and Abby was a fantastic bartender who kept the energy high all evening. We also want to highlight our amazing vendors. Laurie from Susanne’s Weddings was so fun to work with and truly saw our vision, bringing it to life beautifully through the florals. Our cake from Jacques Pastries was both stunning and delicious — we especially loved the red velvet top tier. DJ Dan from Main Event kept the dance floor packed all night and played all of our favorite songs. Our hot pink, winter disco ball wedding vision came to life in the most beautiful way. We are forever grateful to The Granite Rose and this incredible team for giving us a day we will cherish forever.

We had our perfect wedding day at Union Lake Orchard in September. I cannot say enough about this beautiful venue and the amazing owners! The barn was absolutely beautiful, the orchards and flowers in bloom were incredible. Guests raved about the venue and how rustic and timeless it is. We were able to do our ceremony out in the orchard followed by our reception in the barn. Karen and Kyle made our wedding planning experience so much easier than I imagined. Karen was very flexible, offering us to come by the barn multiple times to get ideas on how we would like to set up our decor, where we would like tables placed, etc. I must have texted Karen 50 questions throughout the planning process and she always responded in a kind and timely manner. Kyle helped so much with setting up and cleaning up. During set up, the arch I brought fell and broke and Kyle offered us an arch they had at the venue which was even more perfect than our original one! Karen helped to direct traffic and had guests move their vehicles to a different location so they were not in our wedding photos. I cannot thank them enough for all they did for us! We truly had the most amazing day and I constantly get comments from guests about the amazing vibes, beautiful pictures and what a great time they had! Thank you for making wedding planning so much less stressful!

The Greenhouse at Highland Farm 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
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. Even when rain rolled in on our wedding day, the venue still looked stunning, and having multiple greenhouses gave us plenty of options for photos without getting soaked. We're so grateful we found them and can't recommend them enough to other couples.

Ever since the first day we met Emerald and toured her beautiful property, we knew this was the place where we would say yes to forever. We began our venue search early, since we had a two-year engagement. It was so special to watch Emerald’s vision blossom into the stunning venue it is today. The amount of work, care, and dedication she poured into every detail of the design and the grounds truly shows, it’s the perfect outdoor costal wedding venue. Not only did we fall in love with the venue itself, but with Emerald too. Her kindness, warmth, and friendly personality are exactly what you hope for when choosing a wedding venue. She is truly what makes this place so special. Throughout the planning process, Emerald went above and beyond. She welcomed us back for drink tastings and even hosted an open house for couples getting married there in the future. Those thoughtful touches made everything feel even more personal and helped us feel right at home on our wedding day. Emerald doesn’t just make your wedding day special, she makes the entire planning experience unforgettable. Rain or shine, this venue is absolutely breathtaking. And on our wedding day, it certainly rained! Emerald told us it was the most rain she’d ever seen during a wedding, but she was completely prepared. She had a tent set up for the ceremony, umbrellas for the entire wedding party, covered spaces to keep us dry before walking down the aisle, and even a golf cart to shuttle guests so no one had to walk through the rain. What could have been a stressful situation felt effortless, all thanks to her preparation and calm presence. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives, and we’ll always be grateful to Emerald and her family for making it so special. Penobscot Bay Estate will forever hold a piece of our hearts, we can’t wait to go back and stay in the cottages! Thank you, Emerald!

Jamey was absolutely perfect for us! His words were exactly what we wanted, extremely meaningful and something we still look back on to this day. It was also to the point without rushing, the perfect amount of time. I’m truly so grateful that we had him officiate.

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!

We are so happy we chose The 1812 Farm for our special day and would heartily and readily suggest it to anyone looking for a venue. I literally cannot sing their praises enough for how perfect they helped make our day. The 1812 Farm was the perfect venue for our July 2024 Wedding and we could not be happier with the experience we had working with Sarah, Olivia, and the larger team. The 1812's team is not only super responsive, but extremely helpful as a sounding board. Any questions we had were answered promptly, any ideas we wanted to float were approached thoughtfully, and this team truly lessened any kind of wedding planning stress. As for the venue itself, it was gorgeous. The flowers were in bloom in the garden where we had our ceremony and the inner venue where we had our reception was so well put together. The 1812 team set all my decorations up for me after I provided an example of what I was going for and that immediately lessened any day-of stress that morning. Both my husband's half of the party and my own had plenty of space to get ready separately in the Bristol Suite on site too, which was perfect. Having prep in the same place as ceremony and reception just streamlined our entire day. I also love that even when the lights were dimmed inside later in the night for dancing, there was still plenty of light to see and talk by and our guests adored the outdoor bar and thought it was super cute. The 1812 also uses Stone Cove Catering and we loved the ease of building out the menu with the same people we already were in contact with for the venue. It made everything so smooth and we knew there would be no confusion or fuss as meals were served because the caterers are the venue and know the routine and space. Once the party actually started after dinner, I had multiple guests come up to me to rave about how good dinner and cocktail hour apps were- literally so good that multiple people made comments about it right after eating. Can't ask for better than that. And my husband and I were beyond happy with our own meal and the post-ceremony oyster treat that Stone Cove Catering helped us plan for ourselves. If I were planning this wedding all over, I'd still pick the 1812!

Our wedding day at Caswell Farm and Wedding Barn was absolutely perfect, and so much of that is thanks to this incredible venue and team. From start to finish, everything was seamless. The staff went above and beyond—coordinating all deliveries, handling setup, and taking care of cleanup. When we came back the morning after, everything was already packed up and ready for us to load.

Nicole was amazing to work with throughout the entire planning process.

I highly recommend using her wedding planning services; she truly made all the difference. We also chose Barn & Table for catering, and the food was outstanding. Our guests are still talking about it! The tasting experience was fantastic, and we were able to curate a menu that perfectly matched our vision. Catherine was wonderful to work with, and everything was executed flawlessly. The property itself is stunning.

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!

Scotland Fields is a classic Maine wedding venue with a modern touch. With panoramic views of tidal marshlands, woods and preserve, the estate includes two newly renovated, historic homes, a multi-level barn, and an unparalleled view of the sunset. Every element has been thoughtfully restored— retaining the perfect amount of charm combined with present-day luxury. We rent the entire estate for four nights, from Thursday to Monday and can comfortably sleep 26 guests. Surrounded by stunning views and Maine salt air, we are just 15 minutes from downtown Portsmouth, NH and the fine restaurants, arts, and culture of the Seacoast. And only an hour from Boston or Portland.

Venue considerations

I looked into countless wedding venues all across New England, but when my then-fiancé and I arrived at Scotland Fields for our venue tour, I immediately knew that it was the place we needed to host our wedding weekend. 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!

Can't say enough good. Venue is reasonable in price, exceptional in service and perfection in beauty. Acres of gorgeous grounds, gardens, florals, water features, greenhouse, arbours, patio, bar, couple's cottage. Aric, the owner, is just the best person. He labored to help in literally every aspect of this wedding. Answered every question, challenge and idea immediately. A very positive and can-do attitude. He was irreplaceable. Very few people tip venues. We WANTED to. He wouldn't accept. He wanted us to have a wonderful, positive and inclusive experience. If I were getting married, I wouldn't look at any other venues in Maine. This beautiful spot is perfection. So grateful we found them.

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.
