Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Intimate and utterly romantic, this turn-of-the-century brick gem is set at the heart of Portland’s Old Port neighborhood, and is overflowing with charming vintage details.
- Hardwood flooring, a gracefully arched doorway of exposed brick, and delicately scrolled chandeliers all lend an air of grace and history to the space, and oversized industrial-style windows fill its rooms with ample natural light.
- For a uniquely unforgettable “land and sea” celebration, consider adding a privately chartered cruise around the harbor on one of Portland Schooner Co.’s historic, handcrafted sailing vessels.
