Weddings on the Water in Maine

Looking for a waterfront Maine wedding venue? First of all, what kind of body of water are you interested in? Because Maine has it all: lakes, ponds, rivers, beaches and schooners. Maine offers so much diversity that everyone who wants a wedding venue on or near the water, can have one! So, if you’re looking for a waterfront venue for your Maine wedding, check out this thorough list I’ve put together.

There’s something special about waterfront weddings: an expanse and openness to the setting; the sounds of waves crashing on the rocks; the trickle of the river or the call of a loon on the lake.

Remember, if you’re getting married on the coast of Maine, you’re going to want to check the tide chart before picking your wedding ceremony time.
