Flight
Our recommendation The most cost effective and efficient option is to fly into Bangor International Airport (BGR), the nearest regional airport is approximately one hour from Bar Harbor. We will be providing shuttle service options for incoming attendees. Other Flight Options: Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) This is by far the most scenic option. Fly to Boston Logan Airport, and then board a Cessna aircraft and fly up the coast of Maine directly to Bar Harbor Airport. We did this when we visited Maine the first time 4 years ago, and it was incredible. Portland International Jetport (PWM) Fly into historic Portland, ME and take a scenic drive up the coast (approximately 3.5 hours from Bar Harbor). Portland is incredible and worth a trip. Augusta State Airport Approximately 2 hours from Bar Harbor. We haven't done this, but this is apparently another option.
Hotel
Staying at our wedding venue The Bar Harbor Regency is the most convenient option, however Bar Harbor offers a variety of lodging options to suit every preference and budget.
