We got married at Fairytale Gardens & Weddings in September 2024. What originally drew us to this venue was how relatively affordable it was, and how beautiful the barn and forest-side photos were. Erin and Maria were the ones who dealt with us in the months leading up to the wedding, and seamlessly coordinated everything on the day of. They were absolutely crucial in making the planning and execution of our big day everything we could have wanted. They are both caring professionals and are excellent at what they do. They accommodated our every wish and desire and provided thoughtful feedback when necessary. One of our favorite aspects of the venue was the "pay-it-forward attic". Fairytale Gardens & Weddings has an attic full of decorations, signs, etc. This was a huge time and money saver for us and allowed us to round out the barn and table decor. If you are looking for a wonderful, caring, friendly, and special venue, you need not look any further! Attached images credited to Julia Andrew Fine Art Photos

We had our wedding at AMC Medawisla in September 2023 and would highly recommend the venue after touring countless others in Maine! John, Charlene and the rest of the AMC staff allowed us to highly customize the weekend by cooking some of our favorite foods, adding additional signage so that our guests wouldn't get lost, and overall making the weekend as smooth as possible. Our guests enjoyed the star gazing! We appreciated that all our guests could stay onsite and some of cabins included bathrooms and showers for those that wanted a less rustic experience. We were nervous about black flies but ultimately it wasn't an issue at all even at dusk. Even though we had gorgeous weather, the dinning room in the Lodge is a fantastic back up rain option.

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. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with exceptional service, I highly recommend Penobscott Bay Estate. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to start our journey together!

PERFECT. One word to describe this venue, the owners (Rebecca & Ryan), everything about our wedding weekend and the planning leading up to it. My (now) husband and I booked this venue without me even seeing it! The pictures are beautiful and don't do it justice! From the farmhouse to the barn to the cabin to the ceremony site, you name it, it is a breathtaking venue. Rebecca and Ryan are so easy to work with and are there if and whenever you need them! I want to relive our wedding weekend over and over! 10/10 recommend Meadow Ridge Farm :)

The Lucerne Inn was absolutely exceptional in helping make our wedding day truly special. From their very tentative and detail-oriented communication style, we felt confident that every aspect of our event would be flawlessly executed. And they delivered on that promise - the food was amazing, the hall was beautiful, and the day-of coordinator was incredibly helpful in ensuring everything went smoothly. The owner even checked in with us to make sure we were enjoying our day, which was a thoughtful touch. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Lucerne Inn to any couple looking for a venue that will make their wedding day exceptional.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Board Landing for a wedding celebration in August of 2022. The venue is beautiful and pastoral, and lent itself well to having both the ceremony down by the water and reception up the hill overlooking the Bay. It would a pleasure to work there again in the future -- if you're looking to have a wedding that exudes summertime charm in Maine, this is a sure bet.
