We are convinced that Caitlyn is the sweetest, most accommodating person in the entire Maine wedding industry. She did everything from answering our millions of questions to even setting up the arbor and ceremony space. She was extremely flexible with all of the changes that we threw her way! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed "getting away" to a quaint little island for the weekend as well as experiencing the incredible food the Inn has to offer. Everything we had was delicious and our bartender, Ryan, made sure the late night party did not disappoint. We are incredibly thankful for Caitlyn and the rest of the team at Chebeague Island Inn and cannot wait to come back and visit on our anniversary! Thank you a million times over!!!

Newagen Seaside Inn 

5.0

Southport, ME
  • Up to 112 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

If you’re looking for a scenic place to say “I do,” consider hosting your dream wedding at Newagen Seaside Inn! Our stunning oceanfront property is a wonderful place to invite your friends and family for a memorable celebration. At Newagen Seaside Inn, we’ve celebrated generations of beautiful, meaningful coastal Maine weddings and oceanfront wedding receptions for delighted and grateful couples. Smaller wedding parties and more spontaneous couples can still enjoy an oceanfront wedding at the historic Newagen Seaside Inn just minutes from Boothbay Harbor. We know real Maine weddings are authentic celebrations of your love and lifestyle, and we know your perfect Maine Coast wedding venue needs to be as unique as you are. Ready to get in touch with our wedding coordinators?

I cannot say enough about this incredible venue. From the beautiful property, to the attentive and friendly staff, Newagen made our entire wedding weekend smooth and seamless. Newagen offers all the charm of a small quaint Maine Inn with the delivery and professionalism of a large well run venue. Maura was amazing and responsive with the booking of the venue and sales process. She was so responsive in answering all my questions and helping us navigate putting the weekend structure together. The reins were smoothly handed over to Tiffany as the weekend got closer and she ensured everything ran smoothly through the weekend. We held a lobster bake Friday evening, ceremony and reception Saturday and a farewell breakfast Sunday morning. Every single aspect was flawless. Tiffany and her team kept things running on time, making sure everything I brought (decorations and the like) was put out so that my husband and I could just spend time with friends and family. It felt that every time I had a concern or a question, I could ask Tiffany and she'd have already thought of it/handled it. I truly cannot say enough about how amazing the staff was. From the front desk staff, managers, coordinators to the waiters, everyone made us and our guests feel at home, taken care of and special. My husband and I will definitely be returning to celebrate anniversaries and will recommend this venue to anyone. The property has so much to offer guests (pool, pickle ball, sunset path) and is not far from the cute downtown harbor and local sites like the coastal Maine botanical gardens. The chef was fantastic and the food was delicious. Highly recommend going to their pub for a bite if you are in the area and are considering this venue.

Luke's Lobster Portland Pier

Luke's Lobster Portland Pier offers you a beautiful space with wide windows that offer an amazing view to the Casco Bay. Our space is open 7 days/week and can hold all your events, from Wedding Showers and Rehearsal Dinner to Welcome Parties and Weddings.

Luke's was the perfect spot to welcome our guests from around the country to Maine! The views are incredible (it's one of the few event spots in Portland that is actually on the water) and the lobster rolls were raved about by all of our guests! Rita and the team were amazing to work with and made sure everything went exactly as planned. They had plenty of non-seafood options for us too and the drink menu was perfect with Maine beers and super fun cocktails. We were on the gorgeous upstairs deck and bar area which made for guests to mingle and meet each other. A big highlight was when one of the boats hauled in two tunas in view of the party, people were talking about it all weekend long! The welcome party was definitely one of the best parts of our entire weekend.
