Jamey was absolutely perfect for us! His words were exactly what we wanted, extremely meaningful and something we still look back on to this day. It was also to the point without rushing, the perfect amount of time. I’m truly so grateful that we had him officiate. Jamey is a wonderful human with a beautiful soul, and we are grateful it was him standing by us while we made one of the biggest decisions of our lives.

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!

I recently had the pleasure of having my wedding at Penobscott Bay Estate, and I can honestly say it was the most magical experience! From the moment we arrived, the beautiful scenery took our breath away. The views of the bay provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony, making every photo look like a dream. The overnight cabins were an amazing addition to our experience. Each cabin was beautifully appointed and offered a cozy, charm that made our stay feel truly special. It was wonderful to have our closest people together, creating an intimate atmosphere that we will cherish forever. What truly set Penobscott Bay Estates apart were the amazing owners. Emerald went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our day was perfect. From helping coordinate the setup to offering advice and support throughout the planning process, her warmth, energy and dedication made all the difference.

1830 Wedding Barn 

4.7

Oxford, ME
  • 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.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides a dedicated team on-site
  • Has a dance floor for celebration
  • Bridal suite on site

Venue considerations

  • Does not allow pets
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Requires outside catering services
We had our wedding at the 1830 Wedding Barn in September 2023. During the planning process the ownership of the barn changed hands, but we ultimately had a good experience with the new owners, Molly and Brian. They were kind, professional and helpful. The barn has an outdoor ceremony site under an apple tree as well as accommodations to have an indoor ceremony as well. We ended up having an indoor ceremony due to weather and utilized the venue's arbor (flowers not included). The inside of the barn is rustic and felt quite cozy in the evening with Edison bulb string lights twinkling. There are two newly updated restrooms attached to the barn and a live-edge wooden bar that adds to the rustic barn feel. Overall, we had a special day we will never forget at the 1830 Wedding Barn.
