A Maine wedding has everything a bride imagines, and
more… for less. A wedding in Maine is sure to be spectacular,
whether you choose a resort on the coast, a dramatic reception in
the mountains, or an Inn on a Lake. Maine is a large state, with so
many wedding facilities, from a simple small reception to a big
weekend Wedding event with wedding guest lodging on site and
activities for your out of town wedding guests and family.
Maine weddings can be as casual as a seaside clambake, or as
elaborate as an elegant wedding by the sea at one of Maine’s resorts
with full bar, sit down dinner and dancing to a full orchestra.
Some brides prefer a quaint seaside Inn or an oceanfront resort for
the entire wedding, from the wedding rehearsal to the wedding vows
and reception. Maine’s oceanfront inns and lodges from Kittery,
York, and Kennebunkport on up the coast to Boothbay Harbor, Camden
and Bar Harbor offer wedding packages that include everything for
rehearsal dinners to Sunday wedding brunches.
Other wedding parties create a tour of the Maine coast, with
separate locations for each wedding event during their Maine
weekend, starting with the Bachelor party and Bachelorettte night in
the Old Port of Portland, on through to the romantic Maine honeymoon
hideaway for just the bride and groom.
There are plenty of great Maine restaurants with private dining
rooms and banquet facilities for the groom’s rehearsal dinner. Or
you can rent a seaside house or cottage for a catered rehearsal
dinner on the coast.
Maine is blessed with beautiful state parks and the country’s most
visited National Park, Acadia on Mount Desert Island, as dramatic
ceremony locations. If you are looking for an oceanfront park or an
historical Maine Church for your ceremony, you will surely find the
perfect wedding ceremony location. A wedding ceremony in front of a
Maine lighthouse would provide you with beautiful photos for a
lifetime. A lakeside ceremony or a mountaintop ceremony at a Maine
ski area would be unusual and memorable for your special day.
Many of Maine’s resorts have on site wedding coordinators who can
orchestrate every detail of your wedding from the rehearsal, to
beautiful Maine wedding flowers, a Maine wedding band, an all
inclusive wedding menu, and guest accommodations.
Brides love Maine for another reason, beyond the scenery and the
Downeast wedding hospitably. Brides like that Maine weddings are
affordable – especially when you compare the price of a wedding in
Maine to a Boston wedding, or a wedding in NYC. A resort wedding in
Maine can be quite affordable.
Maine wedding packages are available for any season, in just about
any setting. If you want a summer wedding in Maine by a lake, or a
fall Maine wedding on the waterfront with fall foliage – the bride’s
wish can be fulfilled. Winter weddings in Maine are spectacular with
fresh snow, sparkling white lights at the wedding reception hall,
and a sleigh ride for the bride and groom.
You can host a big wedding in Maine in a grand ballroom or have it
catered under a tent by the sea or one of Maine’s lakes. You will
find there are many wedding caterers that can prepare everything for
a cocktail reception with hors d’oeuvres to a formal sit down
wedding dinner, right down to the beautiful Maine wedding cake and
Groom’s cake. Intimate Maine weddings can be held at beautiful inns,
where your wedding party rents the entire space for an exclusive
wedding party, if a smaller wedding affair is more your style. And
of course, Maine resorts are accustomed to hosting big lavish
weddings too.
Not matter your preference, plan your wedding in Maine, the way life
(and your wedding) should be.
