This June my husband and I were married at Attean Lake Lodge. It truly was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The entire staff were professional, down to earth, and genuine. The island, amenities, and cabins were clean and comfy with picturesque views that made the weekend surreal. Not to mention the food was out of this world. We couldn’t have been happier to have been wed on the island and we look forward to having family reunions to come back there!

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Board Landing for a wedding celebration in August of 2022. The venue is beautiful and pastoral, and lent itself well to having both the ceremony down by the water and reception up the hill overlooking the Bay. It would a pleasure to work there again in the future -- if you're looking to have a wedding that exudes summertime charm in Maine, this is a sure bet.
