10/10 Venue!

Beech Ridge Barn was the only venue we toured - we visited 2+ years before our wedding and immediately booked it after meeting Bridget + seeing the property. Fast forward to over two years later, I can say booking this venue was absolutely the BEST decision we could have made. The barn is absolutely stunning, truly magical -- and our favorite part of the weekend was the ability to rent the guest houses with all of our friends. The houses were awesome + stocked with everything we would need. It's in a great location in Scarborough where you're super close to Portland but in a more rural area of the town for peace + quiet.

Bridget is worthy of her own review -- she was fantastic from start to finish and we felt very comfortable knowing she was in charge of the space. She just rocks. We will always remember Beech Ridge as one of the happiest weekends of our lives -- we can't recommend this venue enough to celebrate!

Beautiful Venue and Amazing Owners

I don’t even know where to start…. Booking our wedding at Beech Ridge Barn was the best decision we made! The barn and grounds are beyond beautiful, and have the capability to be customized to take on any theme you have in mind. The two houses on the property were perfect, and have all the amenities you can think of. The owners are awesome as well! They obviously care so much about the couples experience, and work really hard to make the wedding of your dreams a stress-free reality! Thank you so much Bridget and Steve!

We would book them over and over again!

Where do we even begin?! Having our wedding at Beech Ridge Barn was one of the best decisions we could have ever made. The layout of the barn is breathtaking, and as a couple you have the ability to add almost any flair you feel. The whole property is breathtaking, from the beautiful remodeled barn, to the farmhouses that compliment it, and the yard surrounding, it’s truly a dream venue. Bridget and Steve continue to add more amazing touches to the property that really suit their guests, while still maintaining the original feel of the barn.

My husband and I toured the barn on a super cold day in February and we fell in love immediately. We were not only sold on the beauty of the property, but Bridget was also AMAZING to work with from the start. She was always there to answer questions, give suggestions and share plenty of laughs with. It is clear how passionate Bridget and Steve are about the property and their guests.

After having our wedding at Beech Ridge Barn, Bridget and Steve are like family and the barn will always hold a special place in our hearts. We make it a point to drive by the barn anytime we are in the area just to fall in love all over again. Thank you so much Bridget and Steve for making our wedding unforgettable and for being the best hosts. You can’t go wrong with having your wedding here!

The perfect venue!

Booking Beech Ridge for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. The property is so beautiful and has such a great variety of vibes across all the amenities. Of course there is the beautiful barn, but there is also the concrete patio for anything outdoors, the deck with the pergola, the patio, the beautiful bridge down by the stream, the Farmhouse and Guesthouse and even the driveway all provide spaces to gather and celebrate. Being so close to Portland provides an entire city’s worth of hotels and restaurants for guests. Bridget and Steve do such an incredible job of maintaining the property. They were so helpful leading up to our weekend and were there behind the scenes making sure the day went off without issue. We decided to rent the houses for the weekend as well and it made everything that much easier. Beech Ridge has such a special place in our hearts and we recommend it to anyone looking to plan a wedding in Maine 😊

Dream Wedding Venue!

My husband and I were fortunate enough to grab one of the last available spots at Beech Ridge for this past summer - and we can't say enough how happy we are that we were able to do so! The venue is absolutely beautiful and Bridget and her team are unstoppable! All of our wedding guests were talking about how great the barn/ houses/ceremony area/ grounds etc. were and how every detail has been thoroughly thought through when creating this venue. We rented the houses on the venue so our whole wedding weekend could be all at one spot. The houses have been recently renovated and are gorgeous on the inside. Bridget was able to recommend some amazing vendors for the day - including a great day of coordinator who she and I worked with to make every detail perfect. Though there's a new wedding every weekend, we felt like our wedding was treated with such specialized care, instead of treated like just another number. Bridget truly helped make our weekend so magical - we'll be talking about this venue for years to come!

Best Venue & Venue Owner EVER!

I can't say enough good things about Beech Ridge Barn. My husband and I knew we wanted to get married in a barn in Maine but after meeting the venue owner Bridget, we didn't look any further!!! The barn and guesthouse was everything we could have dreamt of for our special day. Bridget and her team give Joanna Gaines a run for their money and no detail is overlooked. The setting, the barn, the guesthouse(s) are the most beautiful places for a wedding- fully stocked and equipped with everything you might ever need. You will not go wrong with booking this venue and it's worth every penny!!!!

The best wedding venue and talented owner!

Beech Ridge Barn Review
We were lucky enough to host our multi-day Indian American wedding at Beech Ridge Barn. From our first meeting, Bridget was so wonderful to work with. She and her husband run the most incredible business. The barn has two guest houses on site that were perfect for our wedding party and immediate family. Not to mention, each house was immaculately decorated and stocked by Bridget. She said it’s like Airbnb meets your best friends house and that’s the perfect description! The bridal suite was gorgeous and the perfect spot to host my bridesmaids.

The barn is an empty canvas, so you can really do whatever you want with it. With multiple spaces for ceremonies we were able to have a 2-day Indian American wedding with two completely different looks! Bridget and Rachel (odyssey event designs - our wedding planner) worked with us for over two years to get every detail just right. We felt so taken care of and like we had friends with us all weekend.

The barn has Sonos throughout, beautiful Adirondack chairs, magical lighting and other options that you can add a la Carte. We had the wedding of our dreams because of Bridget and this gorgeous venue!

Check google for proof

Bridget and Steve had sent us a contract after we entered into negotiations. we signed and returned a 50% deposit which was rejected 3 hours later do to our 40K budget for less than 60 people being seen as inqequate to the standards of their venue. When this was publically disclosed, they backtracked, said we were disrespectful and rude and acused us of slander. Please read all the screenshots so you can see what type of businesss they run here.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
