The Barn on Walnut Hill is an incredible venue! Coming from out of state, it was so nice to offer our wedding party a place to stay for the weekend and to have a central location for all of our weekend events. The grounds are beautiful and make for stunning photos. The farmhouse has everything you could need for a weekend away and acts as a great spot for Sunday brunch. Mike & Essie were wonderful to work with and really made sure we had everything we needed leading up to our wedding day. They also have a lot of great connections with vendors with made planning so much easier. Can't recommend this spot enough!

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!
