On September 21st, 2024 my husband and I got married at Maine Studio Works with 143 guests. We got ready in “studio A” then had our ceremony, dinner and reception in ”studio B”. I don’t even know where to start with how amazing this venue was for our wedding. Great location with a blank canvas that allows you to make the space your own! The best part about using this venue for our wedding was working with the owners, Nora and Zack. Weddings can be stressful and overwhelming but Nora and Zack made it such a fun and positive experience. They went above and beyond as venue owners. They are both easy going, attentive, professional, accommodating and most of all creative when it came to helping us execute our vision in their space. Our favorite things about the space included; having studio A to get ready in, walking out of the big sliding door towards the aisle, having the garage door which opened up to outdoor space, and the tall ceilings which helped the room feel big and not too loud. Our guests were in love with the venue. To this day our guests comment on how cool the space was to get married in and how we were so lucky to work with such a great team. Nora and Zack are two of the most down to earth people I’ve ever met and highly recommend using their space for your next event!

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience working with Essie and Mike! They are absolutely wonderful people, who work with you from even before you book to help make your dream wedding come to life. They are responsive and supportive, and they go above and beyond to support couples during every stage of wedding planning. In addition to working with an incredibly kind team, our favorite part of having our wedding at the Barn at Flanagan Farm was that we could make it ours. Each space (ceremony grove, small barn, big barn, farmhouse, fire pit) can be designed to match your vision, and the possibilities are endless! When my husband and I walked onto the property for our wedding weekend it genuinely felt like home to us, and there is no better feeling for the most special day of your lives. The property is timeless and naturally gorgeous, and our guests are still talking about how it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to over 6 months later! We are so thrilled to be part of the family at the Barn at Flanagan Farm, and feel so lucky that our wedding venue is a place you can return to for dinner and property events in the future. I promise you that booking one of the barns will be the best wedding decision you make!!
