Hardy Farm

The one word that keeps coming to mind when I think about the Hardy Farm and our wedding is 'MAGICAL'. Absolutely everything about the property was so unbelievably perfect for us. We booked there over a year and half ago when there was about 2ft of snow on the ground and even though we were planning to have a summer wedding, we knew without any doubt, that was the right place for us. We wanted to get married in the White Mountains with an outdoor ceremony in the woods, a reception in a barn (I have been a horse girl my whole life), and a place where we could have a getaway for our closet friends and family for the days leading up to the wedding. We couldn't believe a place like this existed. All of our guests that stayed on the property with us were blown away by the character, charm, and the fact that we had the entire place to ourselves for 4 days to relax, enjoy the fire pit and enjoy each other's company. The whitewashed barn adds so much unique elegance, and it was fun to see it transform from a more laid back look for the rehearsal dinner to a totally sophisticated and polished look for the reception. I honestly cannot say enough about how special this place is to us and writing our names in our own horseshoe at the end of an amazing stay was the perfect ending to our magical wedding at the Hardy Farm.

We booked Hardy Farm site unseen in March 2016, and it DID NOT disappoint! Planning a wedding in Maine from New Jersey certainly had its challenges, but none of that really mattered once we booked with Hardy Farm. The property lends itself to those seeking an elegant yet jovial family affair, allowing its guests to rent for a whole four day period during which time you can use the property to host an array of events. It's the best bang for your buck as far as the Maine destination wedding scene goes, and not a single one of our guests who stayed on the property (because between the Farmhouse and the Lodge, 5 minutes apart, you can host up to 32 people) did not fall in love with this place. It was like being in a fairytale. The owners are extremely prompt and patient, answering all of our questions right away and even answering questions we had already asked earlier in the process. They truly care about their property and their couples' satisfaction, doing everything they can to make sure everyone has a wonderful experience. A special shout out to their property caretakers, Sue and Bobbi Jo, who were just phenomenal the whole weekend of our wedding. We utilized every single space the property had to offer; on Friday night we had a lobster bake in the tent, and for our wedding on Saturday our ceremony and first look took place in the woods, cocktail hour and dancing in the barn, and dinner in the tent. Our guests still talk about what a beautiful place Hardy Farm is and how much fun they had exploring the property. We put all of our friends up in the rooms between the two properties, and they were so appreciative not to have to travel after the wedding ended! We would get married there all over again if we could!
