As guests our favorite weddings we've been to were the ones where we had the option to be present with the couple and other guests for the weekend. We enjoyed how it slowed the pace down a bit and really let us enjoy our time celebrating. It was something we wanted to mirror for our own wedding. Shortly after becoming engaged we came across Linekin Bay Resort and it just seemed to fit the bill perfectly. We got the brochure and quickly booked a tour. Within minutes of our tour with Melissa we were absolutely sold. We never even looked at another venue once we came across Linekin. The amenities, privacy, and rooming options made the venue package too good to pass up for a Fall wedding weekend. One unique thing about Linekin was that if you are renting out the venue to keep it private for your guests they require a rooming block. You are tasked with assigning the accommodations for your guests so you are able to optimize the multi family cabins, single family cabins, hotel rooms, etc. It truly felt daunting but Melissa was so incredibly helpful and it quickly became a puzzle no different from a room block. Our friends and family were pleased with their accommodations as they were all beautiful with full amenities! Large groups of friends loved being in their own rooms in multi family cabins and more reserved guests appreciated the privacy of their single cabins. Everything is so close together people were able to have their space to retreat while being able to join the fun within minutes. The absolute standout of the whole experience was working with Melissa Nein, the events director. She was willing to offer honest suggestions and feedback about questions we had and we were confident in taking her advice with her wealth of experience. All of our interactions with staff were wonderful. They all were so friendly and personable. The support from Melissa throughout the planning process and the weekend itself really made us certain at every step we were going to have the best experience possible and we truly did. If you are looking for a weekend wedding experience look no further than Linekin Bay. We are looking forward to incorporating trips back in the years to come!

We had the absolute JOY of getting married at Linekin Bay Resort on September 7th in what was truly the most perfect wedding weekend we ever could have dreamed.

As a type A Bride, I had read through every review on here before we booked our wedding, all of which highlight the venue coordinator Melissa. I cannot emphasize enough how truly incredible she is at her job. I know how to plan, but Melissa knows how to PLAN, and stay SO calm, cool and collected while doing it. Down to the drink sitting at our seats when we walked into dinner, to delivering a plate of apps to us in a hidden enclave before we entered cocktail hour. She even called and confirmed with all of our vendors and set up every delivery/ set up time, something on my to do list before she told me it was done. She goes IMMENSELY above and beyond her job to make every wedding perfect.
Now to the venue. I think we could have won an award for how many guests said “this is the most amazing venue ever!” The views, the amenities, the breakfast, the newly renovated rooms, and all the staff from the bar to the sail shack to the servers are kind, smiling, and ready to help!
Having everyone on site was simply magical and something that we couldn’t imagine having any other way. Doing the room assignments CAN be a little overwhelming but I PROMISE, it’s all worth it in the end.
Finally, the flow! While planning our wedding the one thing I was always nervous about was the dinner and dancing being in different spaces, especially since we were having a band. Melissa continued to reassure me that “it just works,” but I remained a little anxious. I am here to tell you IT JUST WORKS! and it’s SO great!!! Yes, it’s different than every wedding you’ve ever been to and that’s part of what makes it amazing. It was so nice to not have tables being cleared during dancing, it did not impact the flow of the band whatsoever, and every guest said “that was so cool!”
Genuinely- Nick and I have repeatedly said the only thing that makes us sad about our wedding was that we couldn’t attend it as guests, because that’s how great of a time they all had!
To the entire LBR staff and Melissa- we cannot thank you enough! And we cannot wait to come back to experience the magic that is LBR for many Septembers to come!

When searching for our wedding venue, my now husband and I wanted two things above all else: to have our family and friends on property with us all weekend and to be on the coast of Maine. Linekin was truly the perfect place to make our wedding dreams come to life. The property is absolutely stunning - from every cabin type, to the Main Lodge where the reception was held, to the ocean views everywhere you step. It takes your breath away and our family and friends couldn’t stop telling us what a perfect getaway it was. But what was even better, was the ability to house nearly all of our guests on property, to be able to eat breakfast with them each morning, and to just have the entire place to ourselves for our favorite people. Again, it felt like a dream. While Linekin was perfect for us in these ways, what really drove the experience home and made our wedding our favorite day was the incredible staff and food. From the first tour, we knew Melissa would be a joy to work with. She’s incredibly kind, responsive, flexible, organized, and patient - everything you want in the person coordinating every last detail of your big weekend. While planning a wedding is always stressful, she truly calmed my nerves at every turn and I couldn’t have imagined working with anyone else. The staff around her was also incredibly professional and friendly, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food. Truly thank you to Linekin for making it the best weekend of our lives, I can’t imagine getting married anywhere else.
