Venues & Event Spaces near Boothbay Harbor, ME

“This was the most amazing place to host the last of many events over an extraordinary birthday weekend with 200 of our closest friends and family members! It was the highlight!! Do the local lobster bake, hire a fantastic Irish band from Boston and let the good times roll! We did! Your hosts at the Chowder House are amazing and fast became friends in the process!”

“We held our wedding at Harbor Fields Waterfront Cottages this past June, and it was the wedding of our dreams. The property was gorgeous, and we had our family and wedding party stay on the property with us, which made for an extremely special wedding weekend. Wendy, the owner, was phenomenal to work with and so easy to communicate with. We held the ceremony out on the lawn in front of the water and had a tent for the reception on the lawn as well, a bit above where the ceremony was held. We used almost all of Wendy's vendor recommendations, and we're extremely happy with all of the services. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience! If you are planning a wedding and want a classic coastal Maine camp experience, we would highly recommend Harbor Fields Waterfront Cottages.”

“Let me start by saying that having our wedding reception at the 1812 Farm was something I had dreamed of for 18 years, since I was only 10. My family and I would visit the Pemaquid Lighthouse every year growing up, and every year I would point out the car window and say “That’s where I want to have a wedding reception after getting married at the lighthouse!” Little did I know, I would eventually have that exact dream come true.
My now husband and I celebrated our wedding reception at the 1812 Farm in September. From day one, the communication between us and the owners and event coordinator Olivia was punctual and incredibly helpful. From the thorough initial tour, to the food tasting where we were made to feel like royalty, to Olivia’s continual help with planning and the ultimate picture perfect wedding day, we were beyond pleased.
Wedding planning would have been far more stressful without the calls with Olivia, a detailed shared Google document, and the fun 3D modeling software for the venue table setup. The catering was excellent- the food was delicious with perfectly tender meat and paired seasonings/sauces. The servers and bartenders were professional and friendly.
The first thing that struck me on the wedding day was how gorgeous the grounds were, with a multitude of flowers and perfectly manicured lawns even towards the end of the summer! I also cannot say enough good things about their bridal suite. Getting ready in such a comfortable place with my loved ones was unexpectedly one of my favorite times of that day.
The Farm also coordinated with our bluegrass band and other vendors efficiently to ensure the day went flawlessly.
Thank you, the 1812 Farm, for helping us host a beautiful, classy, country wedding that couldn’t have been more perfect.”

“We get to this place every year for the mid coast sea kayak rendezvous for our socials and dinner. (With the exception of the last 2 years due to covid) The food has always been great! There is a good selection of beers, which is good because I'm not a fan of hoppy beers. The best part is the staff, they are always helpful and super friendly, they always go above and beyond. Thank you!”

“Breakfast was delicious! Fresh fruits, tasty muffins and great breakfast quiche! Dinner was fabulous too. Started with the crab cakes appetizer and they were the perfect choice. For our main course We had fresh caught haddock that was the best we've ever had! Light, flakey and cooked perfectly! We Also had the pico de gallo that was fantastic! Wasn't expecting to order Cuban inspired food but after seeing it on the table next to us I had to try it. I travel to Miami often and order it often at popular Cuban restaurants. This was the best pico I've ever had! It was made with delicious tenderloin steak that was seasoned to perfection. Whether you're staying at the Bradly inn or just visiting for the day you need to have dinner here!”
