1830 Wedding Barn 

4.7

  • Up to 130 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,000

The Barn was originally built in the year 1830 in Oxford, Maine, and used to be a dairy farm and apple orchard owned by the Pratt family. In 2015, it was transformed into an idyllic wedding & special event venue. The 1830 Wedding Barn is a classic, New England gem set back off of Route 26, surrounded by Maine farmland. Inside of the barn you will see impressive hand hewn beams, original wooden floors and walls, and repurposed original antiques like the hanging apple orchard ladders, hay-claw chandelier, and the Hebron Academy milk cooler. The barn’s historic quality creates a unique experience for guests to celebrate any event. Outside of the barn you will see rolling hills, fields stretching to the edge of the woods, trees from the original apple orchard (which we still bake pies from!), and sunsets fading to the western side of the property. Guests are welcome to enjoy and explore the outside areas of the existing apple orchard and surrounding grounds.

The Greenhouse at Highland Farm 

5.0

Scarborough, ME
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $8,000

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

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides lighting and sound
  • Has a dance floor for celebration

This venue was absolutely perfect for our August wedding! Everything was picturesque and elegant, giving a intimate and upscale feel to every detail. On top of that the staff was absolutely amazing, highly communicative and incredibly helpful for every step of the way. I HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone looking for an outdoor venue with ceremony and reception space together.

We cannot say enough about how incredible Foster’s was for our wedding. We held our reception in the Pavilion Room, and it was absolutely perfect. The room provided ample space for all of our guests to dine comfortably and dance the night away, with high ceilings and a rustic, elegant vibe that wasn’t overly beachy—exactly what we were looking for. The two beautiful fireplaces on either side of the room added a cozy touch to the ambiance. Our ceremony took place on their gorgeous lawn, framed by a stunning tree line and a picturesque pond complete with a fountain. The arbor made for a breathtaking backdrop as we exchanged our vows under the open sky. It felt like something out of a dream. A special shout-out to Roxanne, our day-of coordinator, who truly made our day flawless. From helping us select appetizers, meals, and bar service, to setting up an ambiance that wowed both us and our guests, she was with us every step of the way. Her attention to detail and calming presence were invaluable, and she ensured that the entire day ran smoothly, handling everything we needed—and things we didn’t even realize we needed—with grace and professionalism. Speaking of food, the catering was beyond amazing. We chose the beef tenderloin with bordelaise sauce and Atlantic grilled salmon, and both were cooked to perfection. The meatball appetizers were an absolute highlight—people are still talking about them! What’s more, the food was surprisingly affordable for the high quality. Foster’s and their incredible team curated the most memorable experience of a lifetime for us. We will forever sing their praises. Thank you for making our special day everything we dreamed of and more!

  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $7,000

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Not for you if you're looking for a sleek and contemporary space
We are so happy we chose The 1812 Farm for our special day and would heartily and readily suggest it to anyone looking for a venue. I literally cannot sing their praises enough for how perfect they helped make our day. The 1812 Farm was the perfect venue for our July 2024 Wedding and we could not be happier with the experience we had working with Sarah, Olivia, and the larger team. The 1812's team is not only super responsive, but extremely helpful as a sounding board. Any questions we had were answered promptly, any ideas we wanted to float were approached thoughtfully, and this team truly lessened any kind of wedding planning stress. As for the venue itself, it was gorgeous. The flowers were in bloom in the garden where we had our ceremony and the inner venue where we had our reception was so well put together. The 1812 team set all my decorations up for me after I provided an example of what I was going for and that immediately lessened any day-of stress that morning. Both my husband's half of the party and my own had plenty of space to get ready separately in the Bristol Suite on site too, which was perfect. Having prep in the same place as ceremony and reception just streamlined our entire day. I also love that even when the lights were dimmed inside later in the night for dancing, there was still plenty of light to see and talk by and our guests adored the outdoor bar and thought it was super cute. The 1812 also uses Stone Cove Catering and we loved the ease of building out the menu with the same people we already were in contact with for the venue. It made everything so smooth and we knew there would be no confusion or fuss as meals were served because the caterers are the venue and know the routine and space. Once the party actually started after dinner, I had multiple guests come up to me to rave about how good dinner and cocktail hour apps were- literally so good that multiple people made comments about it right after eating. Can't ask for better than that. And my husband and I were beyond happy with our own meal and the post-ceremony oyster treat that Stone Cove Catering helped us plan for ourselves. If I were planning this wedding all over, I'd still pick the 1812!

We got married here in September of 2024! It’s a beautiful venue. Ryan and Karen were extremely helpful before and during our big day. They helped move tables, chairs which were all provided by the venue. They have beautiful milled wood barn tables which we used on the first floor for our close friends and family to sit. The barn is large with 3 floors and plenty of room for dancing and eating! On any given day we could stop in to view the venue or drop off paperwork and we were sure to always leave with fresh fruit!
