Unexpected Farm was the perfect backdrop for our fall wedding. The foliage on the property was absolutely beautiful and the views of the lake were breathtaking at sunset. I am a horse owner so having horses involved in some way was very important to me. Having them in the background while getting married was the perfect touch to make my wedding so memorable. Getting married can be difficult at times the fact that the property owners were easy to work with throughout the whole process, made everything so much simpler.

Cunningham Farm Events

New Gloucester, ME
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $13,000

Cunningham farm is a boutique Maine wedding venue set in picturesque New Gloucester, Maine - located between Portland, Auburn, Brunswick and Freeport. Cunningham Farm is primarily used as a venue for estate, barn and outdoor weddings.The property boasts more than 90 acres of land inclusive of three event barns, a farmhouse, a pond, a river, a meandering brook, rock walls, and an iconic tree farm - complete with a white farm fence - there couldn’t be a more beautiful property to serve as a backdrop for your magical day.

We had our wedding at Cunningham in August 2022 and can't say enough good things about our experience. From our initial touring and booking experience with the previous owners to working with Matt and Abby leading up to and on the day, we are so glad we chose Cunningham. The setting is truly stunning and minimizes the need for extensive decor and florals. The space is flexible which was a comfort given the compound uncertainty of weather and a pandemic. We ended up having over 100 guests, but we were confident that the venue would've worked for any size. The bridal suite, bar and bathrooms were comfortable and air conditioned, which made for a great balance of rustic charm and creature comforts. Our wedding was on a hot August day, but with the breeze and extra fans that Matt and Abby brought onsite, it was super comfortable. Matt and Abby were also great about letting us come and go to work on florals, drop things off etc. Would recommend Cunningham to anyone looking for the ideal Maine wedding venue.

Fairytale Gardens and Weddings is a beautiful venue. As soon as my then fiance and I visited we fell in love with it. The property is large with plenty of room for people to spread out and have fun. So many of our guests came up to us to say how beautiful the venue is and we couldn't agree more. Gloria the barn has so much character that we kept our decorations simple because for us, the barn was perfect as it was. While we kept the decorations simple, the pay it forward attic was a huge help in the planning process. It was so nice to be able to use some of the decorations that were left over from past weddings so we weren't stuck with having to buy decorations that we'll never use again. The staff couldn't have been more helpful right from the initial start of the planning until the end of the night on our wedding day. They're very experienced and were excellent at helping us figure out exactly what we wanted for our special day. Having them there the day of the wedding was invaluable, they were such a big help with everything from setting up to reminding us about things on our itinerary that we were starting to forget about. All in all we were lucky to find Fairytale and have our wedding there. I honestly wouldn't be able to find a single negative thing to say even if I tried. I can't recommend this venue enough.

We had our wedding at The Barn on Walnut Hill in September of 2022, and it was the most perfect day imaginable. Stunning outdoor setting, beautiful grounds/patio for cocktail hour, and a big, spacious barn for our reception. Essie and Mike were amazing hosts, and it was so fantastic to have the grounds for the weekend to enjoy as a couple and with close friends. Wish we could relive this every year!

I got married at the Board Landing Farm, about a year ago. I still can't believe how picture perfect it turned out. My wife grew up in Maine and we couldn't have a asked for a better location and venue to exchange our vows and share it with our closest friends and family. Right from the very beginning, BLF was easy to work with, and given it's easy location, most of our vendors had either experience or familiarity with the venue. Tents were set up 2 days prior to the wedding day, florist decorated the day of, and the catering had their own access way to be out of the way for the guests. Best part was the landscape setting for the photographers to work their magic - the waterfall, the tidal river, the pier, the large glacial rock, the expansive but unique lawn, and the rustic farmhouse - all added to the magic. In the end, me and wife made some beautiful memories that will stay with us forever. If you're looking to get married anywhere in Maine, it is hard to beat BLF as a wedding venue.
