When my husband and I were looking for venues in our home state of Maine we happened upon the Greenwood Manor Inn during our lengthy search. The photos we saw online were so charming and it looked like a place we could picture ourselves getting married. When we arrived for our tour we met with Jill, who is truly sunshine in human form. She is one of the kindest people, and her personality is absolutely infectious. I won’t lie Jill, you were one of the big reasons we decided to get married at the Inn! On top of her amazing personality, she can truly do it all! She connected us with a florist and a photographer that we used, provided us with a whole list of other vendors, baked all of our cupcakes, and prepared all of the appetizers for cocktail hour! Her cooking and baking are absolutely out of this world by the way, breakfast at the inn was incredible every morning we stayed there! Fast forward to wedding weekend, we were able to book the whole inn for the weekend with all of our wedding party guests. Jill and Joe made sure everything anybody needed was taken care of so quickly. The rooms are absolutely adorable, and the suites for us to get ready in were HUGE and could fit all the bridesmaids for hair/makeup/getting dressed with no issues. There were always fresh cookies in the lobby that were demolished by all of us multiple times, and we would leave for a few minutes and there would magically be more! (Thanks Jill!). The day before our wedding we realized that our tent wouldn’t be big enough to fit our caterers, and Jill’s sister was kind enough to let us borrow some of her tents to cover the caterers so they wouldn’t be in the hot sun. We also forgot an easel for our seating chart, and Jill and Joe magically had one for us to use! Joe handled the bartending for our reception and even picked wild Maine blueberries to use for our blueberry margarita signature drink. Needless to say it was absolutely delicious and wildly popular with our guests! I truly cannot rave enough about the Greenwood manor inn. Our wedding day was better than I could have ever dreamed it would be, and it was in big part to Jill, Joe, and company. Including Cocoa and Spice, the resident furry friends who were the cherry on top. We can’t wait to come back in a few years to visit and remember our big day spent at the Greenwood Manor Inn. Truly cannot recommend it enough!

We live out of state and booked Bear Mountain site unseen (we did a FaceTime tour). It was the best decision. When we showed up we were star struck by its beauty of the inn and staff. The wedding was better than anything I could imagine. The staff thought of everything from flowers for the rehearsal to laminating our table numbers. Also the food was 12/10 amazing!!!!!! The staff even went out of their way to make sure we had one of dessert in our room waiting for us after the wedding. I loved how our wedding party and family were all able to stay at the inn and spend the weekend together not just the day. Not to mention the indoor and outdoor spaces for the wedding. The owner was so laid back and involved every step of the way in the planning process. They made great suggestions for other needs like make up and flowered and dj and photos. They even suggested local activities like hikes and breweries.

We had a wonderful experience working with The Noble House Inn Venue for our destination wedding. Their communication style was exceptional - always available via text and call, with open, caring, and compassionate conversations. The venue itself was simply beautiful, with clean rooms, impeccable grounds, and a magical setting that contributed to our special day. As this was a destination wedding, we had to ship many fragile decorative items and The Noble House team was extremely detail-oriented in handling these with care. Their hard work clearly showed in the final product - everything came together seamlessly for a warm, clean, and lovely event space. We cannot recommend The Noble House highly enough for their beautiful, well-maintained venue and thoughtful, available communication every step of the way. We love you Lynn & Matt

I’m so happy we chose the Loon Lodge Inn to host our wedding. The food was spectacular, the tent was beautiful, and the lake views were amazing. But the real stars of the show were the hospitality and service from Kim and other staff members at the Loon Lodge. They went above and beyond the entire weekend. Everyone at our wedding sung the praises of the staff including their hard work, friendly demeanors, and their creativity to fix things when unexpected things happened. For example, when the florist’s arbor fell over and broke, the florist attempted to hold it together using ribbons and flowers that looked awful. Kim immediately fixed it using fishing line and it ended up looking beautiful as the fishing line wasn’t even noticeable and especially won’t be seen in pictures. Kim also tried extremely hard to have the ceremony outside despite forecasts of rain. Having the ceremony outside was the one thing I really wanted to happen that weekend. Kim was constantly checking the forecast that day and saw that there would be a window of opportunity without rain and at the last minute made an outside ceremony happen. Additionally, I didn’t realize that we never assigned someone to be in charge of the cake-cutting. Kim saw it was not being cut and went out of her way to cut everyone a slice of cake. There were many moments like this and I’m sure way more that happened behind the scenes that we weren’t privy to. The bartenders and other staff members, especially the chef, also did a fantastic job. Choosing the Loon Lodge Inn for our venue was the best decision I made regarding wedding planning. My now husband and I plan to return here for an anniversary trip one day. Thanks to the Loon Lodge Inn and Kim for a weekend that we will always remember and think fondly of!
