What a beautiful location for a wedding! The Haimes (who own the property) were so lovely to work with, they got back to us quickly with any questions we had and the woman Jean who was our on site contact could not have been more helpful and pleasant. The barn, grounds and attached house are the perfect spot for a wedding. Just be sure you understand that you need to rent everything for the space (ie: tables, chairs etc) so the cost can be quite high but it will be lovely!

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’m so happy we chose the Loon Lodge Inn to host our wedding. The food was spectacular, the tent was beautiful, and the lake views were amazing. But the real stars of the show were the hospitality and service from Kim and other staff members at the Loon Lodge. They went above and beyond the entire weekend. Everyone at our wedding sung the praises of the staff including their hard work, friendly demeanors, and their creativity to fix things when unexpected things happened. For example, when the florist’s arbor fell over and broke, the florist attempted to hold it together using ribbons and flowers that looked awful. Kim immediately fixed it using fishing line and it ended up looking beautiful as the fishing line wasn’t even noticeable and especially won’t be seen in pictures. Kim also tried extremely hard to have the ceremony outside despite forecasts of rain. Having the ceremony outside was the one thing I really wanted to happen that weekend. Kim was constantly checking the forecast that day and saw that there would be a window of opportunity without rain and at the last minute made an outside ceremony happen. Additionally, I didn’t realize that we never assigned someone to be in charge of the cake-cutting. Kim saw it was not being cut and went out of her way to cut everyone a slice of cake. There were many moments like this and I’m sure way more that happened behind the scenes that we weren’t privy to. The bartenders and other staff members, especially the chef, also did a fantastic job. Choosing the Loon Lodge Inn for our venue was the best decision I made regarding wedding planning. My now husband and I plan to return here for an anniversary trip one day. Thanks to the Loon Lodge Inn and Kim for a weekend that we will always remember and think fondly of!

The whole team was extremely supportive and so excited to make our day perfect. We held our reception at the Tavern and the team worked with us to create the perfect winter wedding theme. The guests had a great time and really enjoyed the venue. One of my favorite things the team worked with me on was to create a late night s’mores bar out by the fire pits. Besides just holding the reception we also had our rehearsal dinner with them where they were able to work easily with all of our dietary restrictions. The majority of the wedding guests stayed at the inn and the team was super supportive of making sure the guests were able to make the most of their time area. It was truly a dream to work with them and I’d do it all over again.
