We could not be happier with this venue. It was charming, cozy, and all our guests fell in love with it. The owners were amazing to work with and made us feel comfortable and warm and were attentive to every need and question. There is not a single thing more we could have asked for.

The 1812 Farm 

5.0

Bristol, ME
  • Up to 130 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $7,000

The 1812 Farm is a year round setting for your event. Our unique mix of historic setting and unmatched level of catering quality, elegant surroundings and appointments appeals to the most discerning taste

We are so happy we chose The 1812 Farm for our special day and would heartily and readily suggest it to anyone looking for a venue. I literally cannot sing their praises enough for how perfect they helped make our day. The 1812 Farm was the perfect venue for our July 2024 Wedding and we could not be happier with the experience we had working with Sarah, Olivia, and the larger team. The 1812's team is not only super responsive, but extremely helpful as a sounding board. Any questions we had were answered promptly, any ideas we wanted to float were approached thoughtfully, and this team truly lessened any kind of wedding planning stress. As for the venue itself, it was gorgeous. The flowers were in bloom in the garden where we had our ceremony and the inner venue where we had our reception was so well put together. The 1812 team set all my decorations up for me after I provided an example of what I was going for and that immediately lessened any day-of stress that morning. Both my husband's half of the party and my own had plenty of space to get ready separately in the Bristol Suite on site too, which was perfect. Having prep in the same place as ceremony and reception just streamlined our entire day. I also love that even when the lights were dimmed inside later in the night for dancing, there was still plenty of light to see and talk by and our guests adored the outdoor bar and thought it was super cute. The 1812 also uses Stone Cove Catering and we loved the ease of building out the menu with the same people we already were in contact with for the venue. It made everything so smooth and we knew there would be no confusion or fuss as meals were served because the caterers are the venue and know the routine and space. Once the party actually started after dinner, I had multiple guests come up to me to rave about how good dinner and cocktail hour apps were- literally so good that multiple people made comments about it right after eating. Can't ask for better than that. And my husband and I were beyond happy with our own meal and the post-ceremony oyster treat that Stone Cove Catering helped us plan for ourselves. If I were planning this wedding all over, I'd still pick the 1812!

If you’re looking for a scenic place to say “I do,” consider hosting your dream wedding at Newagen Seaside Inn! Our stunning oceanfront property is a wonderful place to invite your friends and family for a memorable celebration.

We know real Maine weddings are authentic celebrations of your love and lifestyle, and we know your perfect Maine Coast wedding venue needs to be as unique as you are. Ready to get in touch with our wedding coordinators?

I cannot say enough about this incredible venue. From the beautiful property, to the attentive and friendly staff, Newagen made our entire wedding weekend smooth and seamless. Newagen offers all the charm of a small quaint Maine Inn with the delivery and professionalism of a large well run venue. Maura was amazing and responsive with the booking of the venue and sales process. She was so responsive in answering all my questions and helping us navigate putting the weekend structure together. The reins were smoothly handed over to Tiffany as the weekend got closer and she ensured everything ran smoothly through the weekend. We held a lobster bake Friday evening, ceremony and reception Saturday and a farewell breakfast Sunday morning. Every single aspect was flawless. Tiffany and her team kept things running on time, making sure everything I brought (decorations and the like) was put out so that my husband and I could just spend time with friends and family. It felt that every time I had a concern or a question, I could ask Tiffany and she'd have already thought of it/handled it. I truly cannot say enough about how amazing the staff was. From the front desk staff, managers, coordinators to the waiters, everyone made us and our guests feel at home, taken care of and special. My husband and I will definitely be returning to celebrate anniversaries and will recommend this venue to anyone. The property has so much to offer guests (pool, pickle ball, sunset path) and is not far from the cute downtown harbor and local sites like the coastal Maine botanical gardens. The chef was fantastic and the food was delicious. Highly recommend going to their pub for a bite if you are in the area and are considering this venue.

We are convinced that Caitlyn is the sweetest, most accommodating person in the entire Maine wedding industry. She did everything from answering our millions of questions to even setting up the arbor and ceremony space. She was extremely flexible with all of the changes that we threw her way! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed "getting away" to a quaint little island for the weekend as well as experiencing the incredible food the Inn has to offer. Everything we had was delicious and our bartender, Ryan, made sure the late night party did not disappoint. We are incredibly thankful for Caitlyn and the rest of the team at Chebeague Island Inn and cannot wait to come back and visit on our anniversary! Thank you a million times over!!!

Unexpected Farm was the perfect backdrop for our fall wedding. The foliage on the property was absolutely beautiful and the views of the lake were breathtaking at sunset. I am a horse owner so having horses involved in some way was very important to me. Having them in the background while getting married was the perfect touch to make my wedding so memorable. Getting married can be difficult at times the fact that the property owners were easy to work with throughout the whole process, made everything so much simpler.

My fiancé & I are debating having our 2025 wedding reception here next year. We heard nothing but great things about the owners, and the staff working the event seemed to be having a blast. We loved that it's so different from your typical stuffy, overly-elegant wedding venue. This is a photo studio that is run by 2 photographers, and the vibe feels more NYC than Maine. Concrete floors with high ceilings, white walls, in the brewery district of Portland.

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.

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

This blank canvas property overlooks the Passagassawakeag River near Belfast Bay. A large grassy field with incredible views was the perfect spot to host a wedding. A tent, catering tent and restroom trailer were delivered for the reception. Ceremony and cocktail hour took place at the waters edge just down the hill from the tent. Truly a beautiful location to host a quintessential Maine wedding. Lodging is nearby and a short 10 minute drive to downtown. As the planner of an event, the space was easy to work within.

1830 Wedding Barn

Oxford, ME
  • Up to 130 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,540

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.

My husband and I had our reception at the 1830 Wedding Barn on August 3rd, 2024. Molly and Brian were kind, helpful, responsive, and helped make our day incredibly beautiful. When we first arrived, there was parking services to help guide us and our guests on where to park which made getting in with all of our vehicles a lot easier. They were accommodating, and set the barn up perfectly. I was in awe when we arrived after our ceremony to our friends and family enjoying such a gorgeous venue. My family was able to take advantage of the handicap accessibility which was wonderful to have for them. I was able to drop my decorations off 2 days before our wedding, showed Molly how I wanted them and didn’t have to lift a finger or worry about any of that at all. They helped make our entrance a surprise by opening the doors for each person being introduced into the barn. . Molly and Brian were on stand by all night, in case we needed something but were also courteous in just letting us do our own thing and dance the night away. At the end of the night, Molly and Brian packed everything up so nicely for us, so pick up was a breeze while we were able to focus on thanking our guests for coming. Our wedding day really couldn’t have been more perfect, and we have the 1830 Wedding Barn to thank for contributing such a big part of that! Thank you Molly and Brian!
