Located just 30 miles from Greenville, ME, and a few hours from Bangor, Medawisla is the perfect retreat for couples seeking a secluded, wilderness setting to celebrate their love. With access to miles of hiking trails, canoeing, and opportunities to spot wildlife, Medawisla Lodge offers an unforgettable experience for your special day. AMC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the mountains, forests, waters, and trails of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

We had our wedding at AMC Medawisla in September 2023 and would highly recommend the venue after touring countless others in Maine! John, Charlene and the rest of the AMC staff allowed us to highly customize the weekend by cooking some of our favorite foods, adding additional signage so that our guests wouldn't get lost, and overall making the weekend as smooth as possible. Our guests enjoyed the star gazing! We appreciated that all our guests could stay onsite and some of cabins included bathrooms and showers for those that wanted a less rustic experience. We were nervous about black flies but ultimately it wasn't an issue at all even at dusk. Even though we had gorgeous weather, the dinning room in the Lodge is a fantastic back up rain option.

PERFECT. One word to describe this venue, the owners (Rebecca & Ryan), everything about our wedding weekend and the planning leading up to it. My (now) husband and I booked this venue without me even seeing it! The pictures are beautiful and don't do it justice! From the farmhouse to the barn to the cabin to the ceremony site, you name it, it is a breathtaking venue. Rebecca and Ryan are so easy to work with and are there if and whenever you need them! I want to relive our wedding weekend over and over! 10/10 recommend Meadow Ridge Farm :)
