We had an amazing experience at The Watson Homestead and highly recommend it! Stephanie, the coordinator, was fantastic—responsive, accommodating, and ensured our vision came to life. Kim and Todd, the owners, were also wonderful, making everything feel seamless. The venue itself was stunning, from the spacious getting-ready house to the beautiful outdoor ceremony space and cozy barn. The barn’s lighting created the perfect atmosphere, and the layout comfortably fit our 75 guests. Our guests loved the venue, and it was the perfect setting for our day! Highly recommend for a charming barn venue.

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
