The island, amenities, and cabins were clean and comfy with picturesque views that made the weekend surreal. Not to mention the food was out of this world.

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.

The whole team was extremely supportive and so excited to make our day perfect. We held our reception at the Tavern and the team worked with us to create the perfect winter wedding theme. The guests had a great time and really enjoyed the venue. One of my favorite things the team worked with me on was to create a late night s’mores bar out by the fire pits. Besides just holding the reception we also had our rehearsal dinner with them where they were able to work easily with all of our dietary restrictions. The majority of the wedding guests stayed at the inn and the team was super supportive of making sure the guests were able to make the most of their time area. It was truly a dream to work with them and I’d do it all over again.

My husband & I began working with Cranmore, Nathalie, & Kelly (their wonderful events coordinators) over a year ago when finalizing our decision to have our wedding weekend at Cranmore. From the start, communication was timely and efficient. Nathalie took the time to get to know us both as individuals, a couple, and what our vision for the weekend was. We opted to have our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and after party on site. Nathalie and the Cranmore team were so accommodating. My husband and several of our guests have celiac (so required gluten free options), which Chef Mike and Nathalie coordinated for every meal, appetizer, and dessert that we had. The food was delicious - we had a tasting a few months prior to our wedding weekend, which was personalized and meaningful. On our wedding day, Nathalie was nothing short of amazing. She goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is sorted out and thought of. We had to make quick adjustments due to weather, which was seamlessly executed by facilities and Nathalie. The Summit of Cranmore, the lodge, zip's pub, and the patio behind the lodge are all stunning spaces for ceremonies and receptions. The location of Cranmore and ability to lodge guests so close was also a deciding factor for us - condos above the reception space are often rented out for guests, along with the Fairfield by Marriot hotel being steps away from the venue. We cannot thank the Cranmore team enough for making our wedding weekend the best days of our lives so far!

Choosing Camp Cody as our wedding venue was a huge decision and an excellent choice. Anna was so helpful throughout the process, and Dora was amazing weekend of–I never saw her standing still. The venue is so gorgeous, and being able to host our friends and family for a whole weekend made everything go by more slowly, with plenty of opportunities to connect with everyone. The Capture the Flag game we held morning of was a big highlight. The food was INCREDIBLE, and our guests haven’t stopped commenting on it. Everyone says you don’t eat at your wedding, and you better believe that was not true for us. As a person with a lot of food allergies, I’ve never felt more cared for and accommodated, and it was amazing to have that for our guests as well. In one notable moment, my cousin with celiac jumped with joy at the prospect of having gluten free pancakes and french toast for breakfast. The accommodations were comfortable, even in 30-40 degree temps overnight, the heat really works! Staying on site and not having to run around everywhere looking for everything and everyone made a big difference as someone without a planner. Also, arranging folks in cabins was not as stressful as we expected it to be. With our smaller wedding, we had plenty of space to spread people out. Thank you again to White Mountain Weddings for an amazing weekend!
