Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Imagine your picture-perfect Midcoast Maine wedding day, then imagine yourself completely relaxed as it unfolds. At this gorgeous three-acre estate, that vision is their mission—with all-inclusive packages, customizable and creative catering options, and a trusted, experienced team on hand to bring it to life. One of our favorite perks is the Bristol Suite, a custom-built dressing space with two separate areas for wedding party prep, relaxation, and salon-worthy styling... they'll even hand-deliver the day's weather to you the morning-of!
- Manicured gardens lush with fragrant blooms accent the sweeping Lawn, which unfurls from the Barn towards a mature landscape of trees and greenery. A pristine pond with a charming fountain makes a lovely backdrop for ceremonies, as does a lovely white gazebo; plus, there's ample space for tenting if you're dreaming of an entirely outdoor gathering.
- The antique Maine barn offers an inviting blend of historic authenticity and modern elegance, complete with a glowing cupola, beautifully restored wood beams, and grand double doors that open onto a stone patio with a cozy fire pit and two separate bars—including a unique, vintage Airstream bar car named Sadie!
