It is hard to put into words how special this venue is. My husband and I toured the property with Emerald back in November 2022 and instantly fell in love with it -- it was the second venue we saw, and we didn't see any others after. There was something about Emerald's genuine care for the space and for the couples that she worked with that really stood out to us. She has a deep connection to the property and we watched her build it up into the masterpiece it is today. We got married in May 2024, and it was truly the best day of our lives. The view, the ceremony space, the reception tent, the getting-ready areas -- all of it was so full of charm and so stunningly beautiful. Our wedding party stayed in the four cabins and we stayed in the adorable honeymoon suite. When we arrived for our wedding weekend, we looked at the view and made a vow to return to this place when we could. We were able to use a golf cart to transport decorations (and people) around the property, which was a life safer! In addition to the spectacular setting, Emerald's commitment is unmatched. She communicated with us consistently throughout the 1.5 years we spent planning and answered all of our (many, many) questions promptly. She sent us little gifts, solicited feedback from us about new property changes, and connected us with other amazing vendors. Her husband Kurt was also incredibly kind and so helpful on our wedding day. Bonus: their kids are adorable!! Penobscot Bay Estate is truly a magical place and was the perfect space for us to begin our lives together. Pro tip: use the honeymoon tub! it was so fun!!

  • Up to 180 guests

Established in 1750 as an English land grant in the picturesque White Mountains of Maine (then the “Massachusetts Bay Colony”), Hardy Farm remained in the same family for ten generations prior to being purchased by Greg and Deborah Link in 2001. After a The Links transformed Hardy Farm into a very special and unique “rustic elegant” venue for weddings and events offering an authentically historic feel, with a distinctly unique ambiance of contemporary yet rustic elegance featuring all of today's modern amenities. Hardy Farm accommodates up to 32 people overnight and the property encompasses 13 acres with beautiful gardens and stone patios, fire pit, the farmhouse, barn, lodge, woodland chapel, and their own 103’ sailcloth tent. Guests at Hardy Farm enjoy the beautiful rural New England setting with convenient proximity to North Conway, NH, and the Mt. Washington Valley, offering a myriad of year-round outdoor activities.

We could not be happier with this venue. It was charming, cozy, and all our guests fell in love with it. The owners were amazing to work with and made us feel comfortable and warm and were attentive to every need and question. There is not a single thing more we could have asked for. And not to mention- it is stunning and magical.

Without a doubt there is no better place for a Maine island wedding than Chebeague Island Inn. Not only is the setting beautiful, but the team at the Inn went above and beyond to help us have our dream wedding, despite having to scale down due to COVID. We are convinced that Caitlyn is the sweetest, most accommodating person in the entire Maine wedding industry. She did everything from answering our millions of questions to even setting up the arbor and ceremony space. She was extremely flexible with all of the changes that we threw her way! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed "getting away" to a quaint little island for the weekend as well as experiencing the incredible food the Inn has to offer. Everything we had was delicious and our bartender, Ryan, made sure the late night party did not disappoint. We are incredibly thankful for Caitlyn and the rest of the team at Chebeague Island Inn and cannot wait to come back and visit on our anniversary! Thank you a million times over!!!

Greenwood Manor Inn 

5.0

Harrison, ME
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

The Greenwood Manor Inn is a gorgeous, 150 year old estate tucked away in the heart of Harrison in the Lakes Region. The venue sits on 25 acres of quiet, pristine land, just a few minutes walk to the beautiful Long Lake. Surrounded by nature, hiking trails, stunning gardens, and fresh air, our inn is the perfect setting for your special day. Complete with nine guest rooms, we can accommodate up to 22 guests to stay the night. We also offer bar service, ample parking for up to 250 guests, a full breakfast for Inn guests, as well as rehearsal dinner space under our covered porch with heating if necessary, post wedding brunches, welcome cocktail party space, an on site baker, use of our day of coordinator, in house massages, private yoga on the lawn for the morning of your big day, as well as our fire pit, various lawn games, and so much more!

We recently held my sister's bridal shower at the Greenwood Manor Inn- and I cannot even begin to explain how incredible our experience was. Jill and her family are a magical bunch. They were some of the most genuine and kind souls that bring extra charm to the beautiful landscape of the inn. I began discussing the event with Jill a few months ago. From our first conversation, she won me over as the winner of our event space. The menu, space, and overall price were exactly what we were envisioning for the bridal shower. She was beyond excited and accommodating in planning the event alongside us. The day before the shower, we were able to drop off all of the supplies and explore the inn. The morning of the shower, the tables were all set up, and Jill took the time to making our simple plates into gorgeous place settings. For the shower, we enjoyed a brunch with a mimosa bar. Every single menu item was beyond delicious from the cowboy quiche (insanely delicious) to the apple pie french toast (to die for) to the fresh salad (refreshing and sweet). All 30 of our guests raved about the dishes and treats provided by Jill. My personal favorites were these tiny apple crumble bars and the freshest blueberry scones I've ever had. We were also able to bring in our own ice cream bar as our shower theme was "She's Been Scooped Up". Beyond the scrumptious pastries and spread, we had a picture perfect April day with clear skies, lots of sunshine, and warmth. The garden view from the patio was the perfect backdrop for the festivities. As each guest said their goodbyes, they complimented the enchanting atmosphere of every aspect of the inn. I would give a 10 star review if possible! I could not recommend this location more if I tried. Be sure to check out this charming getaway spot or event space. You will NOT regret it!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a wonderful experience working with The Noble House Inn Venue for our destination wedding. Their communication style was exceptional - always available via text and call, with open, caring, and compassionate conversations. The venue itself was simply beautiful, with clean rooms, impeccable grounds, and a magical setting that contributed to our special day. As this was a destination wedding, we had to ship many fragile decorative items and The Noble House team was extremely detail-oriented in handling these with care. Their hard work clearly showed in the final product - everything came together seamlessly for a warm, clean, and lovely event space. We cannot recommend The Noble House highly enough for their beautiful, well-maintained venue and thoughtful, available communication every step of the way. We love you Lynn & Matt
