1830 Wedding Barn 
Rating: 4.8 (5 reviews)
Oxford, ME
  • Up to 130 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

The 1830 Wedding Barn, nestled in the hills of Oxford, Maine, is a historic venue where rustic charm, natural beauty, and timeless New England character come together. Built in 1830 and restored in 2015, the barn retains its original hand-hewn beams, weathered barnboard, and charming details while offering a warm, inviting setting for celebrations. Today, the property is also home to our flower farm, where we grow seasonal blooms to create beautiful, farm-to-table florals for weddings and special events. We also source from fellow Maine growers whenever possible, bringing the beauty of locally grown flowers into every celebration. Surrounded by gardens, fields, and the original orchard, the property offers a peaceful backdrop for ceremonies, photographs, and unforgettable gatherings. Together, the wedding barn and flower farm create a truly unique experience, where every celebration is thoughtfully woven into the land- from the flowers in the fields to the blooms on your tables.

The 1830 Wedding Barn is an absolute MUST for a wedding venue. I have nothing but incredible things to say. The location is beautiful and private, the barn has enough room to fit everything we needed (we had around 100 guests), there are beautiful spots to take photos, and they offer florals as part of a package, which saved so much time (and they were beautiful). Not to mention, the owners are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Not only did they provide a beautiful place, but their willingness to help out allowed my husband and I to enjoy the day. They decorated for us, organized stuff with the vendors, helped with cleaning up, etc. I would choose this venue over and over again, and suggest it to anyone looking to get married!

We had our wedding at AMC Medawisla in September 2023 and would highly recommend the venue after touring countless others in Maine! John, Charlene and the rest of the AMC staff allowed us to highly customize the weekend by cooking some of our favorite foods, adding additional signage so that our guests wouldn't get lost, and overall making the weekend as smooth as possible. Our guests enjoyed the star gazing! We appreciated that all our guests could stay onsite and some of cabins included bathrooms and showers for those that wanted a less rustic experience. We were nervous about black flies but ultimately it wasn't an issue at all even at dusk. Even though we had gorgeous weather, the dinning room in the Lodge is a fantastic back up rain option.

From start to finish, our experience at Sugarloaf Mountain Resort was outstanding. Kaitie was instrumental in coordinating everything, and when we needed last-minute changes, she rolled with it and made sure all our vendors stayed on the same page. The King Pine room was the perfect setting for our reception, and the venue's natural beauty gave us a stunning backdrop for our wedding portraits. Every staff member was welcoming and responsive, catching the details we might have missed and keeping our guests comfortable throughout the day. What really stood out was how Kaitie went beyond just logistics—she genuinely cared about making sure we felt taken care of. We got an incredible venue with top-notch service at a price that felt fair, and we couldn't have asked for more.
