The Greenhouse at Highland Farm 

5.0

Scarborough, ME
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $8,000

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

The Barn at Flanagan Farm was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, the communication with the team was thorough, professional, and friendly. They were extremely helpful in walking us through all the details and ensuring everything was taken care of. The grounds and farmhouse/barn provided a beautiful, clean slate for us to transform into our dream wedding. The rehearsal dinner skating on their private rink could not have been more perfect - everything was communicated ahead of time and Mike was onsite to assist us if needed. I truly do not have enough good things to say about Flanagan Farm. The grounds are stunning, the barn is fit to transform however you choose, and the farmhouse was the perfect place for our wedding party to stay. We are so grateful to the team at Flanagan Farm for helping make our special day so magical.
