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.

We got married at Fairytale Gardens & Weddings in September 2024. What originally drew us to this venue was how relatively affordable it was, and how beautiful the barn and forest-side photos were. Erin and Maria were the ones who dealt with us in the months leading up to the wedding, and seamlessly coordinated everything on the day of. They were absolutely crucial in making the planning and execution of our big day everything we could have wanted. They are both caring professionals and are excellent at what they do. They accommodated our every wish and desire and provided thoughtful feedback when necessary. One of our favorite aspects of the venue was the "pay-it-forward attic". Fairytale Gardens & Weddings has an attic full of decorations, signs, etc. This was a huge time and money saver for us and allowed us to round out the barn and table decor. If you are looking for a wonderful, caring, friendly, and special venue, you need not look any further! Attached images credited to Julia Andrew Fine Art Photos
