We could not be happier with our experience at Granite Ridge. This is a one of a kind location, beautiful grounds, an amazing barn and breathtaking views of the mountains. Our guest were totally floored by the venue and we were so excited to be there. Plus having the whole site and estate house to ourselves from Thursday to Sunday afternoon really made this feel like a mini vacation with our wedding! Gabe and Micky were great to work with and very attentive! -

The beauty of the mountain views is only surpassed by the friendliness of the people who run this venue. They go over and above to make sure your special day is everything you want it to be. Everyone involved really cares about making the event special and what you dream it to be. HIGHLY RECOMMENDGranite Ridge Estate & Barn's reply:

We got married at Granite Ridge on November 02, 2019 and we could not be happier with our selection of this venue! The communication leading up to the event with Gabe was excellent. It was helpful yet not overwhelming which was much appreciated. Granite Ridge is a "do it yourself vendor venue" meaning you will have a good amount of work ahead of you booking and communicating with all of your vendors (unless of course you hire a wedding planner). That said, Granite Ridge does offer lots of support with questions and a curated listed of vendors. We used some of their recommended vendors but also found a lot of our own which is the route I would recommend as some of our favorite vendors we found separately. As a disclaimer there though I am fairly local to the area so this route my not work for you if you are planning from out of town.
The weekend of our wedding there was some staff available as needed but we were mostly left to do as we'd like which was the perfect balance. The house on the property and the full Thursday-Sunday exclusive access were a big selling point for us in selecting this venue as it allowed us to also host our Friday night dinner at the venue. I can't give enough praise to this venue and its owners, absolutely fantastic!Granite Ridge Estate & Barn's reply:
Thanks for the kind words Tonya, it was an absolute pleasure hosting you guys! We hope you come back to visit soon!

After seeing many barn venues in the area, we knew instantly when we arrived at Granite Ridge that this was our dream venue. The fact that there was lodging for us and our wedding party made it the perfect choice for a beautiful and private weekend. We enjoyed a long weekend on the property which was amazing. The barn itself is beautiful, and the views throughout the property are absolutely stunning! The amenities in the estate are perfect for making yourself at home, and there is plenty of privacy to be able to settle in and enjoy yourself! We were also able to have our engagement photos taken on site which was such a treat!Granite Ridge Estate & Barn's reply:
Hi Sam & Arik!
It was our absolute pleasure hosting you guys and your wonderful family and friends. We hope to see you again soon!

Words can’t describe how amazing Granite Ridge and the whole team is to work with. Stephanie and I were married on 10-5-2019; we were the 100th wedding.
We live in RI, but love Maine so much and knew we needed to be married someplace that fit us. I started searching locations that were either very rustic, working farms, fun barns with personality to unique locations. This is when I can across Granite Ridge.
The day we first went to look at the venue, we arrived in Norway a bit early and decided to take a walk around. Miki soon arrived and took us up to her property. From the moment we met her she had a personality that made us feel comfortable. She brought us to the barn first and before we could even get out of her car, Steph was determined this was the place for us to be married. Walking into the barn, the view of the mountains just takes you over. It is a very simple barn, but the chandeliers make it feel so special. We took a walk down to the ceremony space and knew this was where we wanted to say I DO. We loved the intimate feel of the space encapsulated by the woods.
Miki took us to the estate house, and wow is all I have to say. During our weekend stay we utilized all that the house had to offer. From the hot tub to the amazing wood grill they have. We sat in front of the fireplace from morning to night laughing, having a great time. Waking up to my wife the morning after our wedding with views of the clouds still below the mountains with speckles of red, yellow and orange trees was something I will never forget.
The whole time working with Gabe was amazing; I cannot speak more highly of him. He listened and answered any questions we had quickly. It was great getting to learn about his hot sauce company, The Spicy Shark. The Reaper one will make anyone happy who loves spicy things.
From the views to the hospitality, Granite Ridge is a one of a kind venue that any couple will fall in love with.Granite Ridge Estate & Barn's reply:
Andrea & Stephanie - Thank you so much for the kind words! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you both! We hope you come visit us again soon!

My Husband and I were married at Granite Ridge in September, 2019. The venue is absolutely breathtaking. We booked the venue before we even saw it in person...and I'm so happy we took that leap of faith! We worked with Gabe in the planning stages and he was so responsive and put me at ease throughout the process. Micki was on site during the wedding weekend and was also extremely helpful...so much so that on my wedding day she jumped in to lend me a hand by carrying the train of my dress as I walked down the hill to meet my husband for our "first look." I could go on and on about all the incredible aspects of the wedding venue and the staff. The views from the barn are so uniquely beautiful, and we absolutely loved having the estate house for the weekend - it is such a spacious and beautiful place for friends and family to gather. We held our rehearsal dinner on site to maximize our time in the beautiful setting. I would absolutely recommend Granite Ridge to anyone searching for a magical slice of beauty in the Maine woods!

Alex,
Thank you so much for the kind words. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and Aaron on your special day. All the best and hope you come back to visit soon!

Our experience with Granite Ridge was amazing. As soon as we visited two years ago, we knew it was the venue for us. The views are spectacular, and absolutely breathtaking out the large windows in the barn. On top of that, Micki, Gabe, and Jill instantly make you feel like family. They are so warm and welcoming, and they’re there for anything you may need throughout the planning process. The barn itself is stunning and has bathrooms, heat, and AC which are nearly impossible to find in a rustic venue. Our favorite part about GR was having the property to ourselves Thursday - Sunday. It felt like a getaway instead of just a one day event. Getting up there earlier in the week and relaxing before the big day, then having all day Sunday to enjoy and decompress was amazing. Every other venue we looked at could have a wedding the same MORNING of our wedding day. Here, it’s all yours for four whole days. Worth every penny - I cannot imagine getting married any other way. We hope to visit once a year because it was such a great experience.Granite Ridge Estate & Barn's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind words Amy! You and Ben's wedding was amazing, we keep looking at the pictures! Hope to see you both again soon!
Take Care,

Amelia Sent on 08/20/2019Simply the best !!
I got married at Granite Ridge Estate on July 13, 2019. I can't say enough wonderful things about this venue. My husband and I fell in love with it based on our first tour (The view from the barn is incredible). It was exactly what we were looking for (outside, scenic, mountains, relaxed, weekend stay), and did not disappoint. On the weekend of our wedding we had the entire place to ourselves to relax and get ready- so needed and valuable to the experience. Its hard to write a review for Granite Ridge because the experience is beyond words! I highly recommend getting married here.Granite Ridge Estate & Barn's reply:
Amelia, thank you so much for the kind words. It was a pleasure hosting you guys! We hope you come back to visit soon!

It was the perfect wedding!
Gabe and his crew at Granite Ridge made this wedding weekend a spectacular one.
The barn and lodge were situated in an amazing location overlooking the mountains. The lodge was a five star mountain retreat with all the amenities.
Our ceremony outside in the woods was the perfect setting for vows. The cocktail hour overlooking the mountains was the beginning of a magical evening. No words can describe the warmth and beauty of the barn. The backdrop of the sunset behind the couple was so lovely. There was plenty of room for everyone to dance and have a great time. All the staff worked so well together to make this day so wonderful. Being at the lodge for the entire weekend made the fun last longer and truly was a weekend wedding!
This venue is worth waiting for!Granite Ridge Estate & Barn's reply:
Hi Maxine!
We were so happy to host your wonderful family! Thank you for your kind review, and please come back to visit us soon!
Take Care,

Judy Sent on 08/26/2018BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL VIEW BEYOND WORDS, EXQUISITE BARN, AMAZING TEAM!
Our daughter and son in law were married at Granite Ridge in July, 2018 and it was the perfect venue for creating the wedding of their dreams! The wedding site nestled in the trees, had a lovely feeling of Maine's Mother's Nature at it's best.
The barn is gorgeous and the view is something you have to see to fully understand it's magnificence. 165 people attended the wedding and the barn was an ideal size to accommodate the dinner reception and dancing. Since it was a summer wedding we were thrilled they had added a new air conditioning system that was very efficient for our large crowd and it kept us cool even through dinner, sunset, and hours of dancing.
Our bride and groom had a large wedding party who enjoyed the fabulous Granite Ridge home, which has a great layout, a huge kitchen, a hot tub, is spacious and cozy, ... and it enjoys the same spectacular view as the barn. In addition, we were also able to rent a recently added property about a mile away called "The Farm House" for the balance of the large wedding party. It is another beautiful home with a dynamite kitchen and the grounds around the farmhouse have such charm, our daughter elected to have her first look at this location. The photos from this venue are amazing as well as those from Granite Ridge.
Micki and Gabe were a dream to work with! They replied quickly to all our questions and they gave their very best throughout the planning and orchestration of our event. We appreciate all they did to help our Bride and Groom enjoy every minute of their experience!
We highly recommend Granite Ridge as a super romantic venue, with a spectacular view for weddings and other large events. -

User2403803 Sent on 11/01/2015I cannot even begin to explain how perfect our wedding was because of this place! The barn itself is so beautiful you could get away without any other decorations or enhancements. The staff was very responsive throughout the entire planning process and accommodated all of our requests without hesitation (they actually built a handicap ramp the day before for one of our guests!). Once you set foot in the lodge, you'll never want to leave. They made us feel so at home for the three nights we stayed with them. I very highly recommend Granite Ridge if you're looking for the most amazing wedding!Granite Ridge Estate & Barn's reply:
Thank you for the kind words! All the best to you and your beautiful family.
