And of course, Maine resorts are accustomed to hosting big luxury weddings with professional caterers to provide the icing on the cake for a lavish event.

Brides like that Maine is a beautiful location for affordable weddings – especially when you compare the price of a wedding in Maine to one in Boston or New York City.
