Greenwood Manor Inn 

5.0

Harrison, ME
  • Venue
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

The Greenwood Manor Inn is a gorgeous, 150 year old estate tucked away in the heart of Harrison in the Lakes Region. The venue sits on 25 acres of quiet, pristine land, just a few minutes walk to the beautiful Long Lake. Surrounded by nature, hiking trails, stunning gardens, and fresh air, our inn is the perfect setting for your special day. Complete with nine guest rooms, we can accommodate up to 22 guests to stay the night. We also offer bar service, ample parking for up to 250 guests, a full breakfast for Inn guests, as well as rehearsal dinner space under our covered porch with heating if necessary, post wedding brunches, welcome cocktail party space, an on site baker, use of our day of coordinator, in house massages, private yoga on the lawn for the morning of your big day, as well as our fire pit, various lawn games, and so much more!

We recently held my sister's bridal shower at the Greenwood Manor Inn- and I cannot even begin to explain how incredible our experience was. Jill and her family are a magical bunch. They were some of the most genuine and kind souls that bring extra charm to the beautiful landscape of the inn. I began discussing the event with Jill a few months ago. From our first conversation, she won me over as the winner of our event space. The menu, space, and overall price were exactly what we were envisioning for the bridal shower. She was beyond excited and accommodating in planning the event alongside us. The day before the shower, we were able to drop off all of the supplies and explore the inn. The morning of the shower, the tables were all set up, and Jill took the time to making our simple plates into gorgeous place settings. For the shower, we enjoyed a brunch with a mimosa bar. Every single menu item was beyond delicious from the cowboy quiche (insanely delicious) to the apple pie french toast (to die for) to the fresh salad (refreshing and sweet). All 30 of our guests raved about the dishes and treats provided by Jill. My personal favorites were these tiny apple crumble bars and the freshest blueberry scones I've ever had. We were also able to bring in our own ice cream bar as our shower theme was "She's Been Scooped Up". Beyond the scrumptious pastries and spread, we had a picture perfect April day with clear skies, lots of sunshine, and warmth. The garden view from the patio was the perfect backdrop for the festivities. As each guest said their goodbyes, they complimented the enchanting atmosphere of every aspect of the inn. I would give a 10 star review if possible! I could not recommend this location more if I tried. Be sure to check out this charming getaway spot or event space. You will NOT regret it!!!

Nonesuch River Brewing is a gem for a wedding venue! Their event team is top notch. Heather was our wedding coordinator, and she was phenomenal and so responsive. Her positivity, excitement, and attention to detail for our wedding showed through and she was an absolute joy to work with. I never thought wedding planning would be so easy until we met with Heather and the Nonesuch team. She made the entire planning process stress-free and fun! Heather and the event team made sure every detail was perfect for our wedding day. The venue itself is gorgeous. All the natural wood inside makes it so warm and welcoming. We immediately felt like we were home the second we toured the venue, and we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. Every single Nonesuch team member we met with was so nice and treated us like a member of their family. Our entire day went off without a hitch. Our guests had a blast and raved about the food, the venue, and the special beer we brewed with the Nonesuch team for our wedding! Everyone was so impressed. Heather and the event staff went above and beyond for us, and our day was better than we could have ever imagined. We couldn’t recommend them enough!

Nina McCandless is an events professional with more than 18 years experience executing exquisite, gorgeous, memorable events all over the world. Obsessed with the details and in pursuit of achieving an indelible finish, she's worked with brides, elopers, corporate clients, HNIs and well-known brands like Coach, Fendi, NBC Universal, and Glamor Magazine, to name a few. Since 2019, this talented and zen planner has branched out fully into the wedding industry and loves working with couples to create a magical wedding celebrations, and planning unforgettable honeymoons.

Nina is not what you'd expect of a wedding planner - she is so much more. Besides the fact that she has impeccable taste, an easygoing hat about her, expert knowledge and tons of vendor relations, she made me feel from the first day of hiring her through the moments when the wedding was over and I was sharing photos, that everything would be perfect. Like a coach, she put a few of my expectations, all of my anxiety and some of my to-do list in check, but did so with such professionalism and calmness, that I feel in hindsight her fee was more than worth it. I was apprehensive about paying a planner for something I truly believed I could do. Later than I'd like to admit, I became overwhelmed and seriously behind as the actual day neared. I was referred to Nina by my fiancé's friend [note that my fiancé was so over me planning the wedding me on my own]. I had fun on my day, I was relaxed and look like I was truly enjoying our day in ALL the photos. Adding that Nina also flew in a DJ from Miami who I was and am a fan of. I thought it would be a gazillion dollars, but it was just a little bit more than the local DJs. Her industry experience def gives her an edge and made us look super cool.

I am very passionate about what I do. I got into the business shortly after I got married. I had been doing photography for sometime but after I received my wedding film, I thought, "I HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO CREATE THIS FOR OTHERS!!" And things took off from there.

If you're looking for a wonderful Maine videographer, Rebecca is your girl. My fiance & I planned our microwedding very last minute, and were scrambling to find a Maine videographer to document our intimate 13 person wedding. She was quick to respond and wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She brings such a great, fun energy to the wedding day and captured the emotion and all the moments big & small from our day so perfectly. We had her livestream our wedding ceremony for guests that couldn't be there in person, and while there were a few moments of technical difficulties with the connection, she had our full ceremony video uploaded by the next morning for people to see. Her turn around on getting you the video is also SO fast! She immediately got us a sneak peek video and the full video was delivered within a month of our wedding! I can't stop watching our wedding video over & over... it's SO good. I would 10000% recommend hiring her for your wedding

On our wedding day, we barely even noticed the team filming us and it felt extremely authentic. Des and Jon felt like friends attending our wedding (in the best way possible) and we felt so comfortable around them. Our friends and family shared that same review as well and even told us our wedding video was the best they've seen (we tend to agree). Matt was so wonderful to communicate with throughout this entire process and our wedding video is truly straight out of our dreams. Thank you so much to the entire team!!! We are eternally grateful.

Weddings are such a beautiful event and I get so thrilled to capture those special moments for the couple as well as their guests that will last forever. I enjoy working with people to make the most out of their entire experience.

Jack went above and beyond. He met with us before the wedding to fine tune what we wanted and get to know us. He came to the rehearsal to figure out lighting and meet the “important people” haha. He also checked out our venue for reception before wedding and met our wedding coordinator! We had a cocktail hour while we did pictures so he was able to hire a second shooter as well if you needed such. The electricity went out at the church right before the ceremony and he was a pro- pictures turned out great! Really felt like he cared so much and put so much into our big day and really captured the best moments and had great ideas when doing our couples pictures after ceremony. The wedding is gone before you know it but the pictures last forever! THANK YOU JACK!!

Capturing love stories all over the world. With a keen eye for detail and a love for genuine emotions, I strive to capture the essence of your unique love story. Each image is crafted with care, ensuring that your wedding day is not just an event but a timeless, cherished experience. I would love to be a part of your journey, preserving the magic and elegance of your celebration through our lens. Love all.

My husband and I got married in August of 2021. COVID-19 restrictions were winding down, however, we did have family attending the wedding from another country (and the border was still closed while we were planning our wedding earlier in 2021). When we were searching for vendors, we hoped that we could find someone that would be considerate of our additional difficulties of planning an (international) wedding. We also hoped that our photographer would be someone that would “join” our wedding, rather than “direct” the wedding. From the first phone call with Emily, to our engagement photo session, and our wedding, Emily exceeded all our expectations. While discussing the wedding, she made us feel our concerns and wishes were heard, providing her own experienced feedback along the way. She was prepared and flexible on our wedding day (which ended up being a rainy, outdoor wedding). As we hoped, she effortlessly and gracefully joined our wedding as what felt like just another family member. She kindly guided everyone throughout all organized photos and captured many beautiful candid photos as well. Emily is extremely talented in capturing amazing moments with exceptional photo style/quality. My husband and I (as well as many others that were part of our wedding) kept saying over and over how wonderful Emily was. Our wedding photos are displayed throughout our house and on our phones, laptops, etc. Emily went above and beyond to capture our day exactly as it was so that we could hold onto it forever through our photos. Since our wedding in 2021, we’ve worked with Emily on two other occasions, and she has continued to amaze us with her photos. We hope that she can join us in future significant family moments, because at this point, she feels like family!

Bear Brook Bakery is a home-based cake studio serving Maine and parts of New Hampshire and Massechusetts. Specializing in beautiful custom wedding cakes, gourmet cupcakes, and a unique selection of decadent and delicious sweet buffet options. Nearly any design is possible, from grand wedding masterpieces to creative novelty sculpted cakes and carefully styled dessert tables.

I knew very early in my wedding planning process that we did not want a traditional wedding cake and wanted to have a dessert bar instead. I am so grateful to Melissa at Bear Brook Bakery for giving us that option - once I saw photos of her work and menu on her website, I wanted no one else and I'm ecstatic she was available and worked with us. Melissa's desserts were honestly one of my favorite parts of the day. Like...second to actually getting to marry my husband. I was getting ready as she dropped things off and set up so I didn't get to see them until I walked into the reception and I was absolutely blown away. The cookies, cake shooters, mini pies, etc. that we ordered looked absolutely tantalizing. Everything was delicious but my personal favorite of the treats that night were the vanilla bean tarts topped with fresh fruit. They were perfection. I loved, too, that multiple guests came up to me at the reception to rave about the dessert bar and how delicious everything was. My dad, who had initially been a little put off that I wasn't doing a traditional cake, came up to me after a few minutes at the dessert bar to tell me that the mini blueberry pies were amazing and he wouldn't doubt me again (haha). For me, wedding cakes have never been memorable. Having been to a dozen weddings in my life, I just don't remember any individual cakes tasting great or looking so beautiful that they stuck in my mind. Melissa's dessert bar though? I don't see myself or my guests forgetting that anytime soon. Melissa, you're amazing and if I were planning this wedding again, I wouldn't work with anyone else for desserts.
