This June my husband and I were married at Attean Lake Lodge. It truly was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The entire staff were professional, down to earth, and genuine. The island, amenities, and cabins were clean and comfy with picturesque views that made the weekend surreal. Not to mention the food was out of this world. We couldn’t have been happier to have been wed on the island and we look forward to having family reunions to come back there!

1830 Wedding Barn 

4.7

  • Up to 130 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,000

The Barn was originally built in the year 1830 in Oxford, Maine, and used to be a dairy farm and apple orchard owned by the Pratt family. In 2015, it was transformed into an idyllic wedding & special event venue. The 1830 Wedding Barn is a classic, New England gem set back off of Route 26, surrounded by Maine farmland. Inside of the barn you will see impressive hand hewn beams, original wooden floors and walls, and repurposed original antiques like the hanging apple orchard ladders, hay-claw chandelier, and the Hebron Academy milk cooler. The barn’s historic quality creates a unique experience for guests to celebrate any event. Outside of the barn you will see rolling hills, fields stretching to the edge of the woods, trees from the original apple orchard (which we still bake pies from!), and sunsets fading to the western side of the property. Guests are welcome to enjoy and explore the outside areas of the existing apple orchard and surrounding grounds.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides a dedicated team on-site
  • Has a dance floor for celebration
  • Bridal suite on site

Venue considerations

  • Does not allow pets
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Requires outside catering services
We had our wedding at the 1830 Wedding Barn in September 2023. During the planning process the ownership of the barn changed hands, but we ultimately had a good experience with the new owners, Molly and Brian. They were kind, professional and helpful. The barn has an outdoor ceremony site under an apple tree as well as accommodations to have an indoor ceremony as well. We ended up having an indoor ceremony due to weather and utilized the venue's arbor (flowers not included). The inside of the barn is rustic and felt quite cozy in the evening with Edison bulb string lights twinkling. There are two newly updated restrooms attached to the barn and a live-edge wooden bar that adds to the rustic barn feel. Overall, we had a special day we will never forget at the 1830 Wedding Barn.

From the moment we stepped into The View at Pepperrell Cove, we knew it was something special, but little did we know just how much they would exceed our expectations every step of the way. Our wedding day was amazing and our hearts were so full! And that was all thanks to the incredible team at The View at Pepperrell Cove! The venue itself is absolutely stunning – The VIEW cannot be beat, especially at sunset. We had an intimate (30 guest) winter wedding and it was a perfect blend of elegance, charm and coziness. The weather did not really cooperate, but the venue was still gorgeous. Every detail, from the décor to the ambiance, was thoughtfully curated, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere for our guests. But what really made our experience unforgettable was the staff. The team at The View at Pepperrell Cove, went above and beyond to make sure everything was seamless. They were incredibly attentive, professional, and above all, kind and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. From the early planning stages to the last dance, they were there to guide us, offer suggestions, and take care of every detail. The food was incredible, our guests are still raving about the raw bar. Special shout-out to Donna and Dionna who were there every step of the way, making sure the day went off without a hitch. Their kindness, dedication and passion for what they do truly shone through, and we felt completely supported and cared for throughout the entire process. We had some special circumstances that they went above and beyond accommodating for us and they treated us like family. We can honestly say that our wedding at The View at Pepperrell Cove, was more beautiful, smooth, and stress-free than we ever could have imagined. If you're looking for a venue that not only provides a stunning setting but also a team that is committed to making your big day extraordinary, look no further. We are beyond grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day the BEST day ever!!!

My husband and I had one goal in mind when we were planning our recent wedding: we wanted everyone to have fun! There is not a better place we could have imagined for our wedding than Bayside Bowl!! From our first FaceTime to the sweet note we just got in the mail two weeks after our wedding, every step of the process was smooth and we couldn't have been in better hands than with Micaela and the entire team at Bayside. With a wedding of a little over 100 people, we got pretty much unanimous feedback that our wedding at Bayside was one of the most fun that anyone had ever attended. In truth, this is largely due to the care and ease with which Micaela managed everything! We had an absolutely stress-free wedding and felt so well-taken care of throughout the event and in the run up. You'll enjoy the tasting event where you get to sample offerings from Bayside's awesome menu before your wedding, and the food was also a hit with the guests! We couldn't have wished for a more perfect wedding weekend than the one we had at Bayside.

Luke's was the perfect spot to welcome our guests from around the country to Maine! The views are incredible (it's one of the few event spots in Portland that is actually on the water) and the lobster rolls were raved about by all of our guests! Rita and the team were amazing to work with and made sure everything went exactly as planned. They had plenty of non-seafood options for us too and the drink menu was perfect with Maine beers and super fun cocktails. We were on the gorgeous upstairs deck and bar area which made for guests to mingle and meet each other. A big highlight was when one of the boats hauled in two tunas in view of the party, people were talking about it all weekend long! The welcome party was definitely one of the best parts of our entire weekend.

The Greenhouse at Highland Farm 

5.0

Scarborough, ME
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $8,000

Maine's only greenhouse event venue exclusively designed for wedding receptions and ceremonies. 2021 marks 72 years of Highland Farm’s history in Scarborough, Maine. From the beginning, the property has been operating as a greenhouse. In fact, in the 1800’s, Highland Farm was the largest supplier of cut flowers in the Northeast. Highland Farm is a family owned and operated business, and the undeniable sense of family and welcome energy is palpable the moment you step on the grounds. The saying is true here: “you come as strangers and leave as family.” The Greenhouse and The Farm has been run by 3rd generation owners, Joe and Christine since 2008, but Joe and Christine’s involvement in the farm runs far deeper than ownership. In 2009, the couple was married in one of the working greenhouses

It is one week ago today that we experienced the most magical vow renewal event at the Chebeague Island Inn! This would have never happened if it wasn't for Caitlyn, Glen, Matt, and Jess at the Inn. Every detail, every morsel of food, to the timing and atmosphere was simply superb!! The rooms are beautifully quaint and cozy. The views were magnificent. And, ohhhh the sunset!!! The precision in all the details was key because it was a surprise kept for a very long time. I can not express in words how grateful we are. Our weekend could not have been more perfect!
