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.

Your big dreams for your smaller wedding can come true at the Spruce Point Inn, where romance is definitely in the Maine air. There’s time to take romantic walks along the shore or wake to misty mornings in the spruces. As for the big day itself, dedicated planners will help you decide on the ideal venue, from sites on the gorgeous grounds (including under a tent on the picturesque courtyard) to the Oceanfront Deck (also a great place for cocktail receptions and morning-after brunches). Or perhaps it’s just you and a few friends in front of a wood-burning fireplace in a perfect cottage or contemporary townhouse. Delectable menus are customizable.

Romantic and dramatic, with one-of-a-kind venues, 16 Bay View is the ideal site for your smaller, more intimate, wedding gathering. The AAA 4-Diamond Award-winning boutique hotel, in the heart of downtown Camden, ME, close to the harbor, has a dedicated events team that will help with every detail to ensure your big day is exactly as you envisioned, whether it’s a private cocktail party by the fire in the elegant and inviting Vintage Room lobby bar or a sophisticated sit-down catered dinner in the charming Curtis-Bok Banquet Room. In season, you’ll want to end your day with a cocktail by the fire table at The View, the hotel’s stunning rooftop bar with harbor and park vistas. Family and friends who are staying overnight will love their unique accommodations, with gas fireplaces and iron balconies.

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.
