The Leavitt has quickly become a fan favorite, offering unique & alternative event space in southern Maine. By providing signature ambiance, delectable catering & one-of-a-kind personalization, we're a venue not to be missed.

We had our wedding reception at the Leavitt earlier this month and it was better than we dreamed it would be! Throughout the whole process, Nell was very hands-on which was super helpful as we were planning the wedding ourselves. All of the details like the marquee, the garden, and the string lights, all came together to be so magical. The food was incredible, the bar was amazing and the staff were so attentive. You definitely get your money's worth at this venue and I definitely would come back just as a customer for the great vibes!

Foster's Clambakes And Catering 

5.0

York, ME
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Foster’s Clambakes and Catering is an event venue and full-service catering company located in York Harbor, Maine. Foster’s is famous for its clambakes, lobster, Maine cuisine and personal service. They offer indoor and outdoor receptions, rehearsal dinners and ceremonies at their venue. They are also partnered with several seacoast event venues and cater throughout New England. Foster’s main function space which can host 75-300 guests, is a rustic space with stone fireplaces, surrounded by windows with access to outdoor cocktail space lit by bistro lighting with a fire pit. There is a grassy outdoor ceremony or reception space that can hold ceremonies of all sizes or tented events for up to 400 guests. It sits beside a picturesque pond and includes large wooden ceremony arbor and bench seating. For more intimate weddings and rehearsal dinners the York Room can host 30-70 guests and has a modern barn style with opening to outdoor cocktail space with bistro lighting and fire pit.

We cannot say enough about how incredible Foster’s was for our wedding. We held our reception in the Pavilion Room, and it was absolutely perfect. The room provided ample space for all of our guests to dine comfortably and dance the night away, with high ceilings and a rustic, elegant vibe that wasn’t overly beachy—exactly what we were looking for. The two beautiful fireplaces on either side of the room added a cozy touch to the ambiance. Our ceremony took place on their gorgeous lawn, framed by a stunning tree line and a picturesque pond complete with a fountain. The arbor made for a breathtaking backdrop as we exchanged our vows under the open sky. It felt like something out of a dream. A special shout-out to Roxanne, our day-of coordinator, who truly made our day flawless. From helping us select appetizers, meals, and bar service, to setting up an ambiance that wowed both us and our guests, she was with us every step of the way. Her attention to detail and calming presence were invaluable, and she ensured that the entire day ran smoothly, handling everything we needed—and things we didn’t even realize we needed—with grace and professionalism. Speaking of food, the catering was beyond amazing. We chose the beef tenderloin with bordelaise sauce and Atlantic grilled salmon, and both were cooked to perfection. The meatball appetizers were an absolute highlight—people are still talking about them! What’s more, the food was surprisingly affordable for the high quality. Foster’s and their incredible team curated the most memorable experience of a lifetime for us. We will forever sing their praises. Thank you for making our special day everything we dreamed of and more!

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!

Portsmouth Gas Light Co 

5.0

Portsmouth, NH
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $2,000

The Portsmouth Gas Light Co building was constructed in 1837, it was the home of the city's first utility company and is located the heart of downtown Portsmouth. We can accommodate groups from 25 to 200 guests in our stylish private event space.

Finding the perfect spot for our rehearsal dinner felt like searching for a hidden gem. We needed a venue that could comfortably hold 150 guests, offered a delicious menu, and had a charming atmosphere. Thankfully, our hunt led us to Portsmouth Gas Light's 3rd floor! From the moment we stepped into this beautiful downtown building (conveniently close to a parking garage!), we knew it was special. But what truly made the night unforgettable was Michelle, the Function Manager. Michelle was an absolute rockstar! She helped us navigate everything with ease, from handling dietary restrictions to selecting the perfect menu options and ensuring all our needs were met. The entire function team was professional and attentive, making the whole evening flow seamlessly. And let's not forget the food! It was incredible. Our guests raved about everything they tried. We highly recommend Portsmouth Gas Light for any event. If you're looking for a place with charm, delicious food, and amazing staff, look no further! They truly helped us create an unforgettable rehearsal dinner.

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 Lobster Portland Pier offers you a beautiful space with wide windows that offer an amazing view to the Casco Bay. Our space is open 7 days/week and can hold all your events, from Wedding Showers and Rehearsal Dinner to Welcome Parties and Weddings.

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.

Above the charming village of Tamworth sits a destination barn venue that wedding dreams are made of, the Public House on Page Hill. Sweeping views of Mount Chocorua, and the entire Sandwich Range greet you upon arrival while updated accommodations await inside.

The venue itself is just gorgeous, with a spacious and peaceful property that provided the perfect White Mountains backdrop. The large house comfortably fit all of our wedding party and out-of-town guests.
