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!

Board Landing Farm is a treasure on the water. A terrific venue for couples wanting the quintessential Maine experience complete with bald eagles flying overhead! There are multiple locations for the ceremony- on the pier, in front of a beautiful glacial rock, or at the top of hill overlooking the water. There is easy vehicle access to each vista, so it is easy to get supplies in and out. Lovely sloped setting helps create multiple viewpoints, with flatter spots for a large tent. A beautiful and rustic location.
