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.

Autumn Lane Estate is a special place to us and a property that has been in the family since the area was settled. We purchased it 3 years ago and designed this venue while preparing for our own wedding! We put our heart and soul into crafting the space while using our own wedding planning experience to provide extra unique details with future couples in mind. Now that we have celebrated our own wedding here we are excited to share the venue with others! We love connecting with our couples and can't wait to meet you too!

Choosing Autumn Lane Estate was hands down the best decision we made during our wedding planning process! Having the entire weekend to celebrate made everything feel so relaxed and special, and it turned our wedding into a full experience rather than just a single day. Mackenzie, Nicole, and Dan were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Their attention to detail and organization made the planning process seamless. The day-of coordination allowed us to truly enjoy every moment without a single worry. The entire Autumn Lane Estate team was amazing. The venue itself is perfect. Having both the tent and the barn was great. Two separate spaces to eat and dance made transitioning to the dance floor easy and once the music started, no one wanted to sit down again! The cottages and cabins were another huge highlight. Having our family and friends stay on-site made it feel like a vacation getaway. Mackenzie and Dan have poured their hearts into this venue, and you can feel it in every detail. They genuinely want your weekend to be the best weekend ever. We can’t recommend Autumn Lane Estate enough. They are the best!

2 years after our wedding, our friends and family keep saying that our wedding at Camp Skylemar was the best wedding they'd ever been to. Now they're asking for us to host a 5 year anniversary weekend at Camp Skylemar! The Camp Skylemar team went above and beyond around every corner (and in ways I'll never know, because they made it all happen in the background!). We got married in mid-September and had a perfect weather weekend. We started the weekend with dinner around the campfire - it was simply magical. Saturday kicked off with a great game of costume kickball, followed by swimming and playing in the lake. Our wedding was held on the docks. I not only loved working with the amazing Camp Skylemar team, but we also had a great team of vendors - namely Blue Spoon Catering (now E. Wales Hospitality). The teams work really well together and our guests could have been any happier. Part of what I loved about Camp Skylemar is that we were given a relatively blank slate to build our dream wedding weekend. They saw our vision and helped bring it to reality. 20/10 recommend!!

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.

Nonesuch River Brewing is a gem for a wedding venue! Their event team is top notch. Heather was our wedding coordinator, and she was phenomenal and so responsive. Her positivity, excitement, and attention to detail for our wedding showed through and she was an absolute joy to work with. I never thought wedding planning would be so easy until we met with Heather and the Nonesuch team. She made the entire planning process stress-free and fun! Heather and the event team made sure every detail was perfect for our wedding day. The venue itself is gorgeous. All the natural wood inside makes it so warm and welcoming. We immediately felt like we were home the second we toured the venue, and we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. Every single Nonesuch team member we met with was so nice and treated us like a member of their family. Our entire day went off without a hitch. Our guests had a blast and raved about the food, the venue, and the special beer we brewed with the Nonesuch team for our wedding! Everyone was so impressed. Heather and the event staff went above and beyond for us, and our day was better than we could have ever imagined. We couldn’t recommend them enough!

On September 21st, 2024 my husband and I got married at Maine Studio Works with 143 guests. We got ready in “studio A” then had our ceremony, dinner and reception in ”studio B”. I don’t even know where to start with how amazing this venue was for our wedding. Great location with a blank canvas that allows you to make the space your own! The best part about using this venue for our wedding was working with the owners, Nora and Zack. Weddings can be stressful and overwhelming but Nora and Zack made it such a fun and positive experience. They went above and beyond as venue owners. They are both easy going, attentive, professional, accommodating and most of all creative when it came to helping us execute our vision in their space. Our favorite things about the space included; having studio A to get ready in, walking out of the big sliding door towards the aisle, having the garage door which opened up to outdoor space, and the tall ceilings which helped the room feel big and not too loud. Our guests were in love with the venue. To this day our guests comment on how cool the space was to get married in and how we were so lucky to work with such a great team. Nora and Zack are two of the most down to earth people I’ve ever met and highly recommend using their space for your next event!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at the Westin Portland Harborview Hotel. From start to finish, the entire team made our wedding weekend absolutely seamless, beautiful, and stress-free. A huge and heartfelt thank you to Lindsay Plantier, the Hotel’s Catering Sales Manager and our wedding coordinator. Lindsay was extraordinary—accommodating every last-minute change, working with our budget, and helping us customize the perfect dream wedding. On the wedding day itself, we were completely hands-off and everything ran with incredible professionalism. We received so many compliments from guests who noticed how organized, smooth, and well-run the entire event was. The staff throughout the hotel deserves major recognition. From check-in to check-out, we felt truly cared for. The front desk team was warm and attentive, and even the waitress assigned to us at our reception went above and beyond—checking in throughout the evening to make sure I ate, stayed hydrated, and could be fully present with our guests. Every single employee we encountered was kind, professional, and clearly part of a well-oiled, highly coordinated team. The ballroom itself was stunning. We didn’t have to purchase any extra décor besides a few bud vases we chose to add. The hotel provided linens, table numbers, candles, charger plates and more at no additional cost. The room looked polished, elegant, and absolutely beautiful! We also loved that our package included a farewell brunch at the Top of the East, which was gorgeous during the day and at night. We invited guests to "meet us at the Top of the East" after our reception to serve as an after party for those not ready to tuck in for the night. Guests raved about both the daytime ocean views and the nighttime skyline. The convenience of having everything under one roof was priceless. Our guests appreciated being able to park once and enjoy the entire weekend in one place. We were married at the church directly across the street, making it incredibly easy for everyone to move between events safely and comfortably. Choosing the Westin Portland Harborview was one of the best decisions we made. The venue, the service, the staff, and especially Lindsay created a wedding weekend that exceeded every expectation. We are so grateful and would recommend this venue wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a beautiful, expertly managed, guest-friendly wedding experience.

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

Noble House Inn Venue was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. The inn itself is beautifully decorated and all the rooms are cute, quaint, and exceptionally clean. Across the road is Highland Lake which makes for fantastic pictures that really capture the essence and beauty of Maine. It truly feels like you're in a New England Hallmark romantic comedy! The outdoor grounds and ceremony space are also incredibly beautiful, lined with flowers and birch bark trees. The real stars of the show are Lynn, Cassie, and Matt. They truly care about you and your special day. They will do everything and everything to make you feel at home and at ease! Their communication throughout the planning process was quick and effective and they went above and beyond to provide us with things that other venues would charge for, such as tables, chairs, linens, etc. Their list of recommended vendors also shined brightly and helped to make our special day even more special. On the day of our wedding, a massive storm hit the area. Right when we were supposed to be walking down the aisle, the power went out and the intense rain literally knocked the power lines onto the road! Lynn, Matt, and Cassie kept calm and kept us all calm as well. They quickly got the generator running and the power back on with the help of the fire marshal that lives next door! They truly saved our day and it's a moment we will remember and appreciate forever. We're so grateful for their professionalism and dedication to making our wedding day perfect. We couldn't recommend the Noble House Inn Venue more highly and we're so happy with how everything turned out!

I had the wedding of my dreams at the manor this past weekend. I had been there previously for events and knew before I was even engaged that was where I wanted to get married. The family that runs it are warm, inviting and have such an attention to detail that will leave you wanting for nothing. The communication leading up to felt like you were talking to a friend, easy and effective. The rooms were pristine and absolutely gorgeous when we arrived. They went above and beyond in so many ways. And the breakfast … I wish I could wake up there every day! The entire family was involved, and they really made you feel like family as well. I would recommend this venue not only for weddings, but also I have been to bridal showers and baby showers here and had the exact sentiments after those events as well.

Heidi was the most helpful during the planning process. She answered any and all questions I had about the space and logistics. She was professional, prompt, and knowledgeable. Matt was amazing on the day of the wedding. He made sure the ceremony and reception went smoothly. He even drove my husband, myself, and our photographer back down the mountain after the ceremony in his own car! He continually checked in with me and made the day much easier. Now for the space itself - we were immediately blown away by the King Pine ceremony location at the top of a mountain overlooking the beautiful lake. We got to take the ski lift up to the ceremony with our guests and I know those will be unforgettable pictures! Our reception was tented at king pine field and everyone raved about the whole thing from start to finish. We spent our time canoeing and kayaking with our dog and spending time with our friends and family. I can’t recommend having your wedding at Purity Spring enough!

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!

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!

We cannot say enough about or wedding experience at Wandby Landing this September. Matt and Mariah made the whole planning process extremely easy and enjoyable, they were incredibly accommodating to any of our requests and made sure the whole weekend went off without a hitch. Mariah answered every single question I had regarding rentals and even double checked that all the pieces we rented arrived the day before our wedding. We knew the most important aspects to us were our guests experience and the food and drinks were above and beyond what we could have imagined. I truly cannot recommend this venue enough, as someone who is from the area and toured many venues the best choice we made for our day was having it at Wandby Landing!

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. Most of our guests stayed at the Colony and found the rooms lovely and comfortable. The new Coveside rooms provided a great option for guests seeking more modern accommodations.

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!
