Allysa Married on 06/17/2022Simply amazing!
We chose bar harbor inn for our venue and it was one of the best decisions we made. Everyone went above and beyond to make, not only our day, but our whole stay so special. From the doormen to front desk staff and wedding coordinators, this team was such a pleasure to work with. The views are breathtaking and just what we were looking for when searching for a venue.
Planning the wedding from states away was made easy with Briana’s help! She was so responsive and easy to work with.
We wish we could relive the day over and over again but are already excited for our many bar harbor trips in the future. This place will always hold a very special place in our hearts -

Meghan Married on 10/15/2021Dream Wedding Reception!
I cannot say enough good things about both the Bar Harbor Inn and its two incredible wedding coordinators, Sue Kropff and Briana Clark! My husband and I recently got married and hosted our reception at the Bar Harbor Inn, though we are from New Jersey. It was somewhat nerve-racking planning a wedding from afar (especially because you can't vet your vendor's work in person) but working with both Sue and Briana was truly a dream come true!
Sue and Briana were absolutely invaluable to the planning process, helping us figure out so many aspects of what we were hoping for when it came to our reception. They were knowlegeble, kind, flexible, and incredibly enthusiastic and helpful throughout the whole (almost year-long planning process)-- they truly made it so our reception could go off without a hitch.
Our reception was held in the Porcupine Room, which is the smaller of their two reception venues, and it was absolutely beautiful. The view from the balcony is breathtaking and the decor is elegant, understated, and was a perfect complement to our chosen wedding colors and florals. I also cannot say enough about the food. Seriously, our wedding food was some of the best I've had (FULL STOP), and I will be dreaming about that lobster bisque for many years to come. Our cake, which was made by their baker Janine, was also incredibly delicious and was decorated exactly as I had imagined (a naked cake with flowers)--it truly could not have been better.
I could go on and on about the Bar Harbor Inn and the absolutely wonderful wedding day we had there but I suppose I will leave it at this, if you are looking to book a wedding venue in Bar Harbor, look no further. The Bar Harbor Inn is the perfect choice! -

Lisa F. Married on 10/10/2020Easy to work with and beautiful location!
Due to COVID-19, husband and I opted to do a small elopement at the Bar Harbor Inn. Even though it was only the two of us, the wedding coordinators Sue and Briana made everything special. They were wonderful to work with and very helpful. We live in Texas so planned everything over the phone/ through email. We loved the location, property was beautiful. All in all it was a great experience, and we plan to go back for our anniversary .Bar Harbor Inn's reply:
Thank you for your kind words Charlie and Lisa. It was a pleasure to work with the two of you. Thank you for choosing the Bar Harbor Inn for your celebration and allowing us to be a part of your special day.

The Bar Harbor Inn is one of my top choices to photograph for a venue in the state of Maine. The scenery is simply epic. The rooms, layout, design, all the way to the nautical backdrop and mountains in the distance. The coastal weather is ideal and not only that but the staff is kind and attentive. It's always a pleasure and I've photographed here numerous times and I hope there to be many more!
One the best places to have a wedding at. The staff, the view...all of it. So worth it!!
The Inn is beautiful, as is the location, and the event staff are among the best in the business!
