I attended a wedding at the Watson Homestead in November. I had so much fun and it was so beautiful I told my boyfriend if we were ever to get married I would want it to be there. I loved the outside ceremony with the wedding arbor and flowers and then dinner and dancing in the barn with the beautiful lights and elegant decorations but still a relaxed feel. Lots of easy parking for guests also.

We had our perfect wedding day at Union Lake Orchard in September. I cannot say enough about this beautiful venue and the amazing owners! The barn was absolutely beautiful, the orchards and flowers in bloom were incredible. Guests raved about the venue and how rustic and timeless it is. We were able to do our ceremony out in the orchard followed by our reception in the barn. Karen and Kyle made our wedding planning experience so much easier than I imagined. Karen was very flexible, offering us to come by the barn multiple times to get ideas on how we would like to set up our decor, where we would like tables placed, etc. I must have texted Karen 50 questions throughout the planning process and she always responded in a kind and timely manner. Kyle helped so much with setting up and cleaning up. During set up, the arch I brought fell and broke and Kyle offered us an arch they had at the venue which was even more perfect than our original one! Karen helped to direct traffic and had guests move their vehicles to a different location so they were not in our wedding photos. I cannot thank them enough for all they did for us! We truly had the most amazing day and I constantly get comments from guests about the amazing vibes, beautiful pictures and what a great time they had! Thank you for making wedding planning so much less stressful!

2 years after our wedding, our friends and family keep saying that our wedding at Camp Skylemar was the best wedding they'd ever been to. Now they're asking for us to host a 5 year anniversary weekend at Camp Skylemar! The Camp Skylemar team went above and beyond around every corner (and in ways I'll never know, because they made it all happen in the background!). We got married in mid-September and had a perfect weather weekend. We started the weekend with dinner around the campfire - it was simply magical. Saturday kicked off with a great game of costume kickball, followed by swimming and playing in the lake. Our wedding was held on the docks. I not only loved working with the amazing Camp Skylemar team, but we also had a great team of vendors - namely Blue Spoon Catering (now E. Wales Hospitality). The teams work really well together and our guests could have been any happier. Part of what I loved about Camp Skylemar is that we were given a relatively blank slate to build our dream wedding weekend. They saw our vision and helped bring it to reality. 20/10 recommend!!

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience working with Essie and Mike!

They are responsive and supportive, and they go above and beyond to support couples during every stage of wedding planning.

The Greenhouse at Highland Farm

Scarborough, ME
  • Up to 150 guests

  • Starts at $9,500

Maine's only greenhouse event venue exclusively designed for wedding receptions and ceremonies. 2021 marks 72 years of Highland Farm’s history in Scarborough, Maine. From the beginning, the property has been operating as a greenhouse. In fact, in the 1800’s, Highland Farm was the largest supplier of cut flowers in the Northeast. Highland Farm is a family owned and operated business, and the undeniable sense of family and welcome energy is palpable the moment you step on the grounds. The saying is true here: “you come as strangers and leave as family.” The Greenhouse and The Farm has been run by 3rd generation owners, Joe and Christine since 2008, but Joe and Christine’s involvement in the farm runs far deeper than ownership. In 2009, the couple was married in one of the working greenhouses

Fairytale Gardens and Weddings is a beautiful venue. As soon as my then fiance and I visited we fell in love with it. The property is large with plenty of room for people to spread out and have fun. So many of our guests came up to us to say how beautiful the venue is and we couldn't agree more. Gloria the barn has so much character that we kept our decorations simple because for us, the barn was perfect as it was. While we kept the decorations simple, the pay it forward attic was a huge help in the planning process. It was so nice to be able to use some of the decorations that were left over from past weddings so we weren't stuck with having to buy decorations that we'll never use again. The staff couldn't have been more helpful right from the initial start of the planning until the end of the night on our wedding day. They're very experienced and were excellent at helping us figure out exactly what we wanted for our special day. Having them there the day of the wedding was invaluable, they were such a big help with everything from setting up to reminding us about things on our itinerary that we were starting to forget about. All in all we were lucky to find Fairytale and have our wedding there. I honestly wouldn't be able to find a single negative thing to say even if I tried. I can't recommend this venue enough.

Saltonstall Farm 

5.0

Stratham, NH
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $9,000

Historic, breath taking 4 story barn The farm and barn are about 200 years old, and the barn was originally used for cows. Over the years, it has been very well taken care of, so the original beams are still there, in sizes and shapes that you just can't get anymore! The owners are the third generation in their family to take care of the property and are very grateful to be the current stewards. The barn renovations completed in 2020 and it is all ADA compliant and up to code. In the barn, there is a full sound system, 14 chandeliers, a beautiful live edge bar top, two high end composting toilets (the flushing kind!), massive barn blue doors on each end, and a grand entrance staircase. The barn holds up to 200 people and is big enough that you don't have to rent a tent even with tables and chairs, a major benefit and money saver! In the event of rain, you can use the barn as a ceremony and reception space.

The 1812 Farm is a year round setting for your event. Our unique mix of historic setting and unmatched level of catering quality, elegant surroundings and appointments appeals to the most discerning taste

Why you'll love this venue

  • Has a dance floor to dance the night away
  • Natural elegance with open spaces
  • Dressing room available

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Not for you if you're looking for a sleek and contemporary space
Let me start by saying that having our wedding reception at the 1812 Farm was something I had dreamed of for 18 years, since I was only 10. My family and I would visit the Pemaquid Lighthouse every year growing up, and every year I would point out the car window and say “That’s where I want to have a wedding reception after getting married at the lighthouse!” Little did I know, I would eventually have that exact dream come true. My now husband and I celebrated our wedding reception at the 1812 Farm in September. From day one, the communication between us and the owners and event coordinator Olivia was punctual and incredibly helpful. From the thorough initial tour, to the food tasting where we were made to feel like royalty, to Olivia’s continual help with planning and the ultimate picture perfect wedding day, we were beyond pleased. Wedding planning would have been far more stressful without the calls with Olivia, a detailed shared Google document, and the fun 3D modeling software for the venue table setup. The catering was excellent- the food was delicious with perfectly tender meat and paired seasonings/sauces. The servers and bartenders were professional and friendly. The first thing that struck me on the wedding day was how gorgeous the grounds were, with a multitude of flowers and perfectly manicured lawns even towards the end of the summer! I also cannot say enough good things about their bridal suite. Getting ready in such a comfortable place with my loved ones was unexpectedly one of my favorite times of that day. The Farm also coordinated with our bluegrass band and other vendors efficiently to ensure the day went flawlessly. Thank you, the 1812 Farm, for helping us host a beautiful, classy, country wedding that couldn’t have been more perfect.

The tall purple flowers as a backdrop for the ceremony were breathtaking that day. The wooden bridge over the pond is perfect for photos. We used hanging greenery from the barn rafters, and the flowing white curtains draped from the barn roof added elegance The fairy lights throughout the barn created a touch of magic. We were so impressed by the level of detail and care they put into making our wedding day feel like a dream come true.

We can’t say enough positive things about our experience having our wedding at the Old Saco Inn! I cannot overstate how GORGEOUS the venue is. And the staff was so supportive, organized, and genuinely cared about making our day special. They worked with us on a few accommodations and a last minute rain plan, which eased our minds on an already high-pressure day. We received SO many compliments from our guests about the venue, location, stunning scenery, as well as things like the flow of our day and how seamless everything felt. On another note, it was also so much fun and so special to stay on the property with our family and wedding party, and the breakfast every morning was seriously to die for. If you’re considering OSI as your venue, do it!!! It’s one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning!
