My husband and I recently got married at the Boothbay Playhouse and we seriously could not imagine having a better experience. The owners and their staff go above and beyond and were there at every turn to help ensure that we had a memorable weekend. They worked through every detail and logistic with us with clear and quick communication, and were really there for us when we had a few last minute and day of hiccups. The space itself is stunning and rich with history - a true Midcoast Maine gem. We cannot recommend them enough! Be sure to check them out on IG @boothbayplayhouseevents for more information!

My wedding reception and dinner were held at the Lemont Hall in downtown Brunswick, Maine, in September 2022. The venue was ideal for our party of 100 guests. We had a great time with delicious food, speeches, and dancing. The staff was outstanding, and their efforts made our evening unforgettable. I highly recommend the Lemont Hall to brides-to-be.

My wife and I were married at Walnut Hill in July of last year and we had the best day of our lives there! Mike and Essie were an absolute pleasure to work with - they were so friendly and accommodating throughout the process. The entire property is so beautiful, from the Barn itself (and its attached, charming country house which can sleep up to 12 if memory correctly serves), the newly redone patio beside the barn, the sprawling lawn and last but certainly not least, the ceremony area (the main reason fell in love with this location!). The ceremony area lets the perfect amount of light in, which in our case was especially great since it kept our guests (and ourselves) cooler on what was a 90 degree day! It is also equipped with speakers surrounding it which is really helpful for whatever sort of musical arrangements you have for the most important part of the day. Cocktail hour was out on the patio. The massive tree nearby provided shade to those who needed to step out of the sun for a few. We had our reception in the barn. It is HVAC-equipped which was key on such a hot day. We had a little under 70 guests so we had plenty of room for a full band and dance floor in the middle, but I think you could fit double that size without much trouble at all. The barn also has a bar built in which was such a great touch. I would recommend The Barn On Walnut Hill to anyone looking for an intimate, all-inclusive venue. It really is one of the best spots in the Portland, ME area, if not all of Maine in my book. Thanks again Mike and Essie! -Pat
