My husband and I recently got married at the Boothbay Playhouse and we seriously could not imagine having a better experience. The owners and their staff go above and beyond and were there at every turn to help ensure that we had a memorable weekend. They worked through every detail and logistic with us with clear and quick communication, and were really there for us when we had a few last minute and day of hiccups. The space itself is stunning and rich with history - a true Midcoast Maine gem. We cannot recommend them enough! Be sure to check them out on IG @boothbayplayhouseevents for more information!

Aaron and Madison were absolutely amazing hosts and the Lemont Hall was a stunning venue! Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the space.

My husband and I had such an amazing experience getting married at the Barn on Walnut Hill in August 2022. Everything about the venue was absolutely perfect, from the farmhouse to the barn and ceremony grove and everything else about this beautiful property. My bridesmaids and I stayed at the farmhouse the night before the wedding and my husband and I stayed there the night of the wedding. The house is beautifully decorated and a lovely setting for photos but also comfortable and functional. The ceremony grove was a stunning setting for our ceremony and we loved having dinner outside under a tent and dancing in the barn. Essie and Mike were fantastic to work with and so helpful. We would absolutely recommend this venue!

We had a wonderful experience working with The Noble House Inn Venue for our destination wedding. Their communication style was exceptional - always available via text and call, with open, caring, and compassionate conversations. The venue itself was simply beautiful, with clean rooms, impeccable grounds, and a magical setting that contributed to our special day. As this was a destination wedding, we had to ship many fragile decorative items and The Noble House team was extremely detail-oriented in handling these with care. Their hard work clearly showed in the final product - everything came together seamlessly for a warm, clean, and lovely event space. We cannot recommend The Noble House highly enough for their beautiful, well-maintained venue and thoughtful, available communication every step of the way. We love you Lynn & Matt
