Perfect in Every Way

Maine Lakeside Cabins was perfect in every way! We were able to utilize every beautiful spot of this property to create our dream weekend wedding getaway. The Barn provided a rustic lobster bake, the lawn a stunning and romantic ceremony. The tent was the perfect spot for the party of the year and the Main Lodge served as a spacious/private bridal suite upstairs and provided a pub style atmosphere downstairs throughout the weekend. The cabins provided our guests with homes away from home; all with stunning views and amenities. Holly coordinated every detail of our wedding weekend impeccably. Her supportive style and attention to detail allowed us to move through our weekend stress-free. Holly has built a team of partner vendors who were absolutely top notch - the catering, the flowers - perfection. The team at the venue providing bar services, waitstaff, set up and take down were a blast! Holly and her team truly created our dream wedding. We are so very grateful.

Simply beautiful!

I truly cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was with Maine Lakeside Cabins! This location is simply stunning! From the moment we began messaging with Holly she was an absolute gem to work with! She helped with every little detail of planning our day and went above and beyond for us and our guests. Our wedding was perfection, EXACTLY what we hoped it would be. Laid back, stress free, intimate, beautiful and FUN! The cabins are super cozy and it was wonderful for us and for our familes to be able to stay right there at our venue. The florist and catering company she works with are superb and she had wonderful recommendations for local stylists and DJ services as well. I commented often while planning that I felt I should be stressed more planning our wedding but Holly made it such a breeze and a truly enjoyable experience all around. We enjoyed every second of our stay and cannot wait to return in the future, my husband and I have decided Maine Lakeside Cabins is our relaxing, happy place to simply unwind and enjoy the surroundings and one another. HIGHLY recommend!! Thank you Holly and thank you to your awesome staff! Our time there was magical!!

Breathtaking location with awesome team

Holly and the team at MLC went out of their way to ensure everything ran smoothly for our big day. Holly was a dream to work with and provided wedding planning services for us too in the lead up. On the day of our wedding, we had to pivot the location due to a thunder storm! Holly made it so stress-free and saved the day! We had so much fun and all of our guests who travelled from all over the world were in awe of this magical lakeside venue. We will definitely be returning with our family! Thank you Holly and team!

Holly, Ben, Max and Danielle are excellent hosts and the facilities at Maine Lakeside are top notch. Highly Recommended Venue! I stayed in one of the cabins and although rustic and in the middle of the woods, it was reminiscent of a 5 star hotel and they take great care of you.
