Our private residence offers coastal vintage character and our outdoor spaces, with 180 degree waterfront views, overflow with natural beauty. We include on-site accommodation for up to 18 people, with a charming honeymoon cottage at the water's edge, and four guest cabins overlooking it all. Our large tent accommodates up to 160 guests, with a full hardscape floor, guest bathhouse with 3 powder rooms, on-site parking, a golf cart, and all other amenities needed for an upscale event. We are just 13 miles from Bangor, which offers non-stop flights to New York, DC, Chicago, Philadelphia & Florida.

Tie the knot at the water's edge on our Ceremony Peninsula. Take those "money shots" on the rocks to remember this magical moment forever.

Bust a move in our gorgeous canopy tent. Don't worry about any heavy rentals or setup; tables, chairs, bistro lighting, bar and dance floor will all be set up on a new full cement tent floor.

Get cozy in our Honeymoon Cottage; your own little oasis on the water. Soak it up in our tub underneath the stars while you watch the moon dance across the water.

A beautiful venue and an owner who cares about your wedding day

We had the pleasure of working with Emerald when we booked Penobscot Bay Estate as our wedding venue. We were drawn by the beautiful waterfront views and the relaxed atmosphere of the venue. My husband and I are so grateful for this decision.

When thunderstorms threatened to disrupt our special day, Emerald was on top of everything, checking on the weather forecasts and working with us to organize a seamless backup plan. Her top priority was the safety of our guests, and she ensured that every detail was taken care of.

Luckily, the weather turned in our favor for our ceremony. We're so grateful for Emerald's patience, attention to detail, flexibility, kindness, and open communication throughout the entire process. She truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable.

Thank you, Emerald, for being an absolute rockstar! Please extend our gratitude to your husband as well. We're so grateful to have had you by our side on our special day.

If you're looking for a venue and an owner who truly cares about your wedding and will go the extra mile, you will definitely have the best wedding ever if you choose Penobscot Bay Estate!

Best venue ever

My husband and I got married at Penobscot Bay Estate this past Labor Day weekend. We couldn’t have asked for a better day and venue. The property is gorgeous and has all the amenities you need. Emerald and Kurt were such a pleasure to work with and made sure the day operated as smooth as possible. If I could do it all over again, I would in a heart beat.

Breathtaking & Perfect

SPACIOUS BRIDAL SUITE, GORGEOUS CEREMONY, SUNNY COCKTAIL, SWEET OUTDOOR RECEPTION, BREATHTAKING VIEW, PERFECT HONEYMOON SUITE.

PBE made my dream wedding come true. I am from NYC and my husband is from Maine - we had a wacky mix of people from the neighborhood and people from away and PBE found a way to accommodate everyone and our every last wish. They were so considerate and careful with our children and our adults with accessibility needs.

They are organized, friendly, and openly communicate. They even provide checklists so that you can't miss a thing! If it is possible for Emerald and her team to make your dream happen, it will. I felt so loved and I was treated like a princess the whole day.

Emerald and the PBE team made the most important day of my life absolutely perfect. I 100% recommend this venue. Beyond breathtaking, amazing accommodations, and kindhearted staff...couldn't want anything more. On top of ALL of that, it is incredibly affordable for all that you get. I am so grateful that I chose PBE for my waterfront Maine wedding, look how GORGEOUS!
