Waterfront Wedding Venues

Choose views of the sea as a backdrop for your spectacular waterfront wedding

Maine is famous for its beautiful bays, lakes, harbors and coves. Put those images and places to work when you choose a magical and picturesque waterfront wedding. You may travel on a romantic ferry to your wedding venue, and welcome your family and friends to a ceremony followed by cocktails on a lawn overlooking the sea, great food, music and dancing. There are easy-to-navigate wedding packages that include personalized service and exceptional quality, wedding planners and custom quotes, historic and romantic accommodations, local food purveyors and a preferred vendor’s list. Choose from indoor and outdoor facilities. Think porches and pavilions, ballrooms and verandas, majestic sunsets and the best of Maine everywhere you look.
