It is hard to put into words how special this venue is. My husband and I toured the property with Emerald back in November 2022 and instantly fell in love with it -- it was the second venue we saw, and we didn't see any others after. There was something about Emerald's genuine care for the space and for the couples that she worked with that really stood out to us. She has a deep connection to the property and we watched her build it up into the masterpiece it is today. We got married in May 2024, and it was truly the best day of our lives. The view, the ceremony space, the reception tent, the getting-ready areas -- all of it was so full of charm and so stunningly beautiful. Our wedding party stayed in the four cabins and we stayed in the adorable honeymoon suite. When we arrived for our wedding weekend, we looked at the view and made a vow to return to this place when we could. We were able to use a golf cart to transport decorations (and people) around the property, which was a life safer! In addition to the spectacular setting, Emerald's commitment is unmatched. She communicated with us consistently throughout the 1.5 years we spent planning and answered all of our (many, many) questions promptly. She sent us little gifts, solicited feedback from us about new property changes, and connected us with other amazing vendors. Her husband Kurt was also incredibly kind and so helpful on our wedding day. Bonus: their kids are adorable!! Penobscot Bay Estate is truly a magical place and was the perfect space for us to begin our lives together. Pro tip: use the honeymoon tub! it was so fun!!

Without a doubt there is no better place for a Maine island wedding than Chebeague Island Inn. Not only is the setting beautiful, but the team at the Inn went above and beyond to help us have our dream wedding, despite having to scale down due to COVID. 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!!!

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

Why you'll love this venue

1830 Wedding Barn 

4.7

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!
