Intimate Settings
Many of Maine’s coastal wedding venues are designed for intimate weddings, with smaller guest lists & personalized touches. This creates a warm & welcoming atmosphere that is perfect for couples who want a more relaxed and personal wedding weekend experience. The option to accommodate 60 guests or fewer also allows for more customization of the weekend experience, due to the smaller group size, so couples can create a wedding that truly reflects their personalities and tastes.
