Hardy Farm
One of our favorite winter wedding venues in Maine is this farm, which offers both a rustic vibe and abundant New England charm. Located in the White Mountains, Hardy Farm’s landscape is particularly beautiful during the snowy season—and the holiday décor provides an even more magical touch. Adventurous couples and their guests can enjoy a ceremony atop Pinkham Notch, but of course, an indoor ceremony in the barn is cozy and lovely, too. Wedding receptions are held in the heated barn, as well. When you’re not celebrating your nuptials, your guests will love staying in the lodge, along with the ample nearby activities, from skiing to dog sledding, and more!
Maine Lakeside Cabins & Event Center
Even though this space has a distinct summer camp vibe, it’s actually an ideal winter wedding venue in Maine. Located on Wyman Lake, this venue is ideal for more intimate weddings and includes on-site catering for your convenience. There are two main venues here: The rustic Barn, which offers space for up to 100 guests for a seated ceremony, and the Lodge, ideal for a reception of up to 112 guests.
