While the Bar Harbor Club is located on the grounds of the Harborside Hotel, the historical club is a different building with a separate entrance on West Street. When facing the bay, the BHC is the left most point of the property, and you will see the entrance to the club.
Please plan to arrive at the venue and be seated for 5:15pm. Please arrive earlier than 5pm and no later than 5:20pm as the ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30pm.
The ceremony and cocktail hour will be located outside from 5:30 to 7:00pm, behind the Bar Harbor Club. Bar Harbor temperatures in early October typically range anywhere from the 40-75 degrees during the day and 30-50 degrees at night. Plan to bring a light coat to stay cozy! Dinner and dancing to follow which will be located indoors in the reception space.
The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal.
Our wedding venue is our primary lodging and also located downtown. As such, we will not be providing transportation to and from the venue to other lodging locations. If you are staying in downtown Bar Harbor, the area is quite walkable and you can typically get from one end to the other in 20 minutes. There is ample parking at our venue if you are driving. Taxis are also readily available and may be arranged in advance.
You are welcome to bring a date if your formal wedding invitation notates an additional guest or "...and guest". Otherwise, we would prefer if it was just you.
While there is no formal after-party, we will be heading to our beloved Cottage Street Pub for a cocktail or two.
While we love your little ones, our wedding is an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time so that you can celebrate with us!
We have discounted rooms at the Harborside Hotel, Marina & Spa and at the Bar Harbor Regency Holiday Inn. Please see the Lodging tab for more information!
