Boutique hotels, inns, cabins or cottages are ideal for your small Maine wedding

Small weddings are not given minor treatment at the Cliff House, one of New England’s most captivating waterfront destinations. To the contrary! Experienced culinary and wedding specialists will work with you to ensure your dream of a perfect wedding ceremony and reception comes true. The North Point Lawn is a spectacular setting for ceremonies, the Atlantic in the background, the sound of waves crashing on the shore below. Have your cocktail party, or cocktail reception, on a gorgeous terrace or patio. Or, for unforgettable receptions of 75 to 150 guests, there’s the magnificent Atlantic Ballroom with stunning ocean views from the double-height panoramic windows. The Spa at Cliff House can pamper your wedding party with mani/pedis, and day-of hair and makeup sessions.

Under the pines, on a dock with the lake and mountains as a backdrop, by the beach or by a crackling fire: Smaller wedding ceremonies are scenic and special at Migis Lodge on Sebago Lake. After your “I do’s,” enjoy cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres with your guests, then dine and dance into the evening in the rustic-luxe Main Lodge. End your festivities around a bonfire on the front terrace. The excellent catering staff can provide buffets, family-style dinners or plated dinners, all fresh, local and creatively presented. Staff will work with couples to customize their big day, and you’ll have exclusive use of the property. Overnight guests will be offered special bed-and-breakfast rates, staying in comfortable cottages or lake-view rooms in the Main Lodge, all with fireplaces.
