Linekin Bay Resort

Look no further!! My husband and I got married at LBR in August of 2025 and it was the most magical weekend celebrating with our closest family and friends! We loved that we got the whole resort to ourselves and the privacy/intimacy that came with that! The resort has everything to offer and more for your guests. From the rehearsal dinner to the welcome party to the reception to the after party, all those events can be held right at LBR with the most incredible views and atmosphere! The venue speaks for itself! The most incredible part of this venue is the Director of Sales & Events...Melissa Nein! She is beyond wonderful to work with and by the end of it she felt like family. She was so organized and on top of things and made my life throughout the wedding planning process SO much easier! They have a great system down at Linekin and really know what they're doing when it comes to planning weddings. I can't recommend Linekin Bay Resort enough for a wedding venue! From the moment we stepped on property we fell in love and can't wait to go back for years to come!! Thanks LBR and Melissa for making our dream day a reality!

We always knew we wanted to get married in Maine, and Linekin Bay Resort ended up being the perfect choice. It was easy for guests to reach, and having everyone stay on-site made the whole weekend feel like a joyful mini vacation.
The property is beautiful and unique—some guests stayed in cozy cabins tucked in the woods, others in bay-view rooms. We kicked things off with a fantastic lobster bake, followed by a Saturday full of activities for guests while we got ready. The weather cooperated, and our ceremony by the flagpole overlooking the bay was truly stunning. From cocktails on the deck to a candlelit dinner main lodge and dancing in the renovated west lodge, the entire day felt intimate and seamless, even with 150 guests. We ended the weekend with a warm, relaxed goodbye breakfast that made it hard to leave.
A huge part of our great experience was Melissa. We didn’t have a wedding planner on-site, and she filled that role with enthusiasm, patience, and real care. We were LBR’s first lesbian wedding, and the staff truly celebrated that with us. Flying the Maine Gay Pride flag at our ceremony is a moment we will never forget, and we felt supported and welcomed throughout.
The food was excellent all weekend, the staff friendly, and the updated accommodations charming and comfortable. Guests loved having so much to do—from water activities to tennis, pickleball, hiking, or just relaxing on porch chairs with a book.

A couple things to know:

– The room rates were a bit of a sticker shock for some guests, and prices went up from when we signed the contract to the time of our wedding.
– There were moments throughout the weekend where staffing felt a little stretched.

Overall, our wedding at LBR was unforgettable, joyous, and exactly what we hoped for. We’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a Maine venue with that classic coastal magic.

My husband and I had struggled to choose a location for our family-focused micro wedding, but Maine has always held a special place in our hearts. From the moment we discovered Linekin Bay Resort, we were drawn to its beautiful, cozy atmosphere, and it proved to be a lovely setting for our intimate ceremony and dinner.

With just ten of us total, the space felt warm and well suited to a small gathering. Melissa and the LBR team were a pleasure to work with and responsive during the planning process. During our initial walkthrough, after a long drive and clearly feeling overwhelmed, Melissa intuitively took the time to just sit with us on the deck. We chatted about our families and pets, and it gave us some much needed space to settle before diving into details. It was one of many small, thoughtful moments that significantly reduced our stress and left us feeling refreshed and excited for the big day ahead.

Our photographer, included as part of the resort’s elopement package, was very sweet and personable and helped us feel comfortable and less awkward in front of the camera. Things move quickly, so I’d recommend thinking through any must-have photos or arrangements in advance.

Our florist was absolutely incredible. I struggled to clearly define what I wanted, but she immediately understood my vision and delivered beyond expectations. I still dream about my bouquet! She was energetic, inspiring, and a joy to work with. Having both the florist and photographer included in the package made planning much easier.

We did encounter a small hiccup with cake service due to an unexpected staffing issue. We also found that booking the elopement package required a bit more flexibility, as it offers fewer customization options than some larger wedding packages. I’d recommend checking the weekly resort activity schedule in advance to understand where any overlap may occur. Package offerings also appear to change over time, so be sure to review current details carefully.

Overall, LBR was the perfect choice for us!

We got married here over Labor Day weekend, and it exceeded all our expectations. The food was perfect, the venue stunning, and the entire staff so friendly and accommodating. It was the perfect wedding for us, and couldn’t picture having it anywhere else

We cannot say enough positive things about our experience having our wedding at Linekin Bay Resort! Melissa and all the staff helped make our day magical!

Linekin Bay Resort exceeded our expectations in every single way. The format of having the resort for the weekend with all our loved ones with us truly made our wedding so special. Our guests had the most amazing time taking in all that Linekin has to offer. Working with Melissa made wedding planning so fun. She is responsive, extremely knowledgeable and approachable. We can’t say enough about how perfect everything was - from the food to the staff to the lodging, Linekin didn’t miss a beat.

Melissa at LBR was ON POINT! She was excellent at communicating and coordinating our event. She made sure everything went the way we had dreamed of and even made last minute changes for us.

The resort itself is breathtaking, on the rocky coastline of Maine. The food and drinks were phenomenal and views were stunning. The rooms were also gorgeous! Everyone had a wonderful time and I would go back again in a heart beat.

We had our wedding at Linekin Bay Resort, and I can confidently say it was the most magical day we could have ever imagined. From the breathtaking coastal views to the exceptional staff, every detail exceeded our expectations—and so much of that is thanks to Melissa.

Melissa was with us every step of the way throughout the planning process. She made us feel supported, heard, and truly cared for. I felt like I could hand anything over to her and she would not only execute it perfectly, but go above and beyond. She helped guide us through every decision and brought so much creativity and attention to detail—from the stunning tablescapes to our beautiful dessert table setup. I didn’t have to lift a finger once I arrived; everything was handled with care and professionalism.

The staff at Linekin Bay were just as incredible—attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in making our day special. They helped create such a warm and welcoming environment for us and our guests.

And the food… WOW. The chef absolutely knocked it out of the park. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented everything was—it truly felt like a level above any other wedding they had been to.

Linekin Bay Resort is already a stunning venue with its serene waterfront views and natural coastal charm, but it’s the people who make it truly extraordinary. I cannot recommend this venue enough to anyone looking for the perfect coastal wedding experience. Beautiful scenery, amazing food, and a team that genuinely cares about making your day perfect—what more could you ask for?

We had the BEST wedding weekend ever at Linekin Bay Resort!

Going into the wedding planning process we really wanted a wedding weekend experience! We had been to weddings in the past where once the night was over at 10pm we felt like we wish we all had more time together! Linekin provided such a unique opportunity to host our guests in a way that made it feel like vacation for them! Our favorite part of the “camp” style setting was watching all of our guests enjoy the amenities. From paddle boarding, volleyball, fishing, sailing, pickleball, and more! Spending so much time together leading up to the wedding truly allowed us to enjoy our wedding day as a couple.

The day before our wedding we had a pickleball tournament to kick off the wedding! We really felt like this allowed people to get to know each other in such a casual way! After that we had a lobster bake welcome party with all of our guests on the lawn! We enjoyed the amazing food, yummy drinks, and even corn hole! Melissa really went above and beyond to create a laid back feeling that night!

September 14, 2024 (our wedding day) was nothing less than perfect! From the vendors, to the weather, to Melissa keeping a perfect schedule! Melissa and the Linekin Bay staff really do have the wedding planning down to a science. They lay everything out so easily for you to make decisions and even give recommendations on timeline, food, vendors, and much more! Melissa took our vision and made it a reality! I remember telling Melissa at the beginning of our planning that I wanted the least amount of stress as possible and to truly enjoy every moment! And just that happened! Over 3 months later and we still have the post wedding blues!

Our guests continue to talk about our wedding that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and we couldn’t agree more! We can’t thank Linekin Bay Resort enough for hosting the best weekend! We can’t wait to come back!

Linekin Bay was the most incredible wedding venue, which is located on the coast of Maine. Their coordinator, Melissa, is very organized and is willing to go the extra mile to make your vision come true. She was so easy to work with and very responsive. Everything– the food, the staff, the cabins– was spectacular. All cabins are just a short walk away, if not on the water. They are newly renovated and are beautiful. My favorite part was getting ready with all of my bridesmaids the morning of our wedding. East Lodge–where the girls get ready– is such a special, warming, welcoming house. It allows for a big group of people and the hair and make up vendors came right to the house. LBR hand-delivered us lunches and mimosas. It was the most special morning. Furthermore, the entire weekend was perfect! I highly recommend LBR! 10/10!!
