I got married at the Board Landing Farm, about a year ago. I still can't believe how picture perfect it turned out. My wife grew up in Maine and we couldn't have a asked for a better location and venue to exchange our vows and share it with our closest friends and family. Right from the very beginning, BLF was easy to work with, and given it's easy location, most of our vendors had either experience or familiarity with the venue. Tents were set up 2 days prior to the wedding day, florist decorated the day of, and the catering had their own access way to be out of the way for the guests. Best part was the landscape setting for the photographers to work their magic - the waterfall, the tidal river, the pier, the large glacial rock, the expansive but unique lawn, and the rustic farmhouse - all added to the magic. In the end, me and wife made some beautiful memories that will stay with us forever. If you're looking to get married anywhere in Maine, it is hard to beat BLF as a wedding venue.

I had my wedding June 11, 2022 and could not have asked for a more amazing venue. It is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS and naturally beautiful. Absolutely stunning and unique. My guests can't stop talking about how special the wedding venue was and were constantly wowed by the authentic Maine forest surrounding. The new owners, Matt and Abby, were incredibly responsive, helpful, and flexible when we needed help. We had catered food for the bridal suite the morning of but they forgot to include silverware! Matt ran out personally and got us some. They made the wedding venue feel really personal for the day, not just another hotel ballroom. The barns offer unique ways to make your wedding truly yours. We used the smaller barn for the cocktail hour which was fun to have people milling about, then fit 150 people for a seated dinner reception and a big band and dance floor! Tons of space, tons of dancing, and beautiful brand new bathrooms and bar off to the side. It really is a special location to have a wedding and your guests will truly be wowed.

My husband and I had such an amazing experience getting married at the Barn on Walnut Hill in August 2022. Everything about the venue was absolutely perfect, from the farmhouse to the barn and ceremony grove and everything else about this beautiful property. My bridesmaids and I stayed at the farmhouse the night before the wedding and my husband and I stayed there the night of the wedding. The house is beautifully decorated and a lovely setting for photos but also comfortable and functional. The ceremony grove was a stunning setting for our ceremony and we loved having dinner outside under a tent and dancing in the barn. Essie and Mike were fantastic to work with and so helpful. We would absolutely recommend this venue!

5.0

Portland, ME
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $6,000

Maine Studio Works is now available for private party rentals. Whether you’re looking to host an intimate gathering of 30, or a full-scale wedding celebration for 300, we have the space to accommodate your next celebration.

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!
