“We held our rehearsal dinner and welcome party for our wedding here. We were speechless...From the quaint, New England charm of the atmosphere, exterior, and location to the exquisite hospitality from Matt and Mariah, the owners and their team. Through all the wedding planning, Matt and Mariah were consistently communicating details, providing help/guidance and finally once we held the event, every touch point was incredible down to a tee. One out of numerous examples was the groom didn't get the chance to eat the pizza they made. He politely asked if there was any leftovers in the back and if he could have a slice or two. Within minutes, they promptly made an entire fresh pizza from scratch, boxed it up and handed it to him. We're very thankful and every guest said it was the most extravagant welcome party they've attended to kickoff our magical weekend! Couldn't recommend more!”

“Growing up in Kennebunkport we had high expectations for our wedding at The Colony. Of course, the venue speaks for itself as the perfect backdrop for any wedding. No one will question that The Colony offers the best grounds and views for a wedding held in Kennebunkport. Our wedding was 130 people and the lawn (ceremony), front porch (cocktail hour), and ballroom (reception) were all great spaces for our guests. Our wedding day far exceeded our expectations and was truly a magical day for us, our family, and our friends. What truly set this experience apart was our wedding coordinator, Nicole. Her dedication, creativity, and organization made the planning process seamless and enjoyable. She went above and beyond to ensure every detail was tailored to our vision. On the big day, we felt well prepared, and Nicole orchestrated everything flawlessly, allowing us to focus on enjoying each moment without any stress. We cannot thank her enough for the work put in to making the day perfect! Also of note, the food and drinks were exceptional, and we still have friends and family raving about the meal several months after the event (we went with the buffet option). We will happily recommend The Colony to anyone looking to have their special day in southern Maine!”
