Mountain Wedding of our Dreams!

I’m really not sure where to even start. We found out about the Mountain House at a local dog park and after reading reviews online and one simple conversation with Julie, I was ready to book the venue without seeing it in person. The second we pulled onto the property my fiancé and I looked at each other and said “this is it”. We literally could not imagine getting married anywhere but the Mountain House.

Julie and Frank are simply the best. From the very beginning, they were wonderful at communication and gave us thorough recommendations based on their experiences to make sure our wedding day was the best. I was definitely not a low maintenance bride and I emailed Julie 1-2x/week and she always responded with thoughtful and honest advice, which I so appreciated while planning a wedding.

We rented out the farmhouse and suite for our weekend and we are so happy we did, as we were able to spend so much extra time with our wedding party. All of our friends were raving about our weekend being the best wedding they have ever attended, due to the uniqueness of the property (and not to mention how beautiful it was). The houses are in great condition and have so much character. We can’t wait to go back and stay there for a weekend!

We had 105 guests at our wedding and this was the perfect number for the Mountain House, as we felt like it was still an intimate wedding feel with all the amenities. It was raining the day of our wedding, but Julie and Frank worked closely with our DJ to track the rain to make sure we could get married in the field like we wanted to, and it worked out absolutely perfect.

I don’t have enough words to describe how thankful we are for Julie and Frank and their beautiful Mountain House property. They are so personable and it felt like more than just a wedding venue to us. We love the mountains and our day was more than we could ever imagine. Getting ready with my girls in front of the mountain drop is a memory I will hold closely forever! As well as the entire weekend, from start to finish.

If you are looking for a unique, rustic, and special place for your wedding, don’t look any further. From the breathtaking views, the amenities, Julie and Frank’s compassion, to the epic reception party, to all of the help leading up to the event, we could not have asked for a better wedding weekend. We love you Julie and Frank! We will be back to visit :)

A Majestic Mountain Getaway

Mountain House on Sunday River was everything and more we could have wanted for our summer wedding. You will be awestruck by the beauty of the landscape of inland Maine. All the tranquility and privacy that nature has to offer and a dazzling view of the Milky Way and constellations at night. The venue has many options for the wedding ceremony whether it's the Pine Cathedral surrounded by towering trees adding privacy for you and your guests or the Mountain View Meadow out in the open under the mountains and sunset. We had ours in the Pine Cathedral. The venue hosts, Julie and Frank, are some of the most genuine people we have met. Julie was easily accessible and happy to answer all of our questions and concerns over the phone or through email. Julie and Frank also have great working relationship with the food and drink vendors to help recommend all that you may need for your reception. After talking and spending time with the two of them, it is easy to see that they have great passion for bringing people together and care greatly for the property and making sure it is as majestic as your wedding day should be. I highly recommend giving Julie and Frank a call.

Julie was amazing

My fiance and I decided not to book with Mountain House on Sunday River but only because of the logistics of family travel as I have several members coming from different states.

I want to take the time to just acknowledge how responsive and helpful Julie was during this whole process! We are having a very small intimate wedding and have found that very hard to book (especially with the popular rustic feel) because most venues want 50+ as their minimum guest list. Julie was so helpful creating a package and brochure for us that suited what we were looking for. She responded to all of my questions and concerns so promptly and even came to us with back up plans and alternative approaches in case the weather turned for our wedding day.

Despite having found a venue closer to home Mountain House on Sunday River was a top contender for us to choose as our venue and I just wanted to share the wonderful experience I had. Planning a wedding can be so stressful, especially when you have such a small wedding but want a very specific vision for your wedding and Julie was one of the few venues that made me hopeful I wouldn't have to compromise on my vision.

The Mountain House on Sunday River is one of our favorite venues in the state! We have photographed there many times, and we always love going back. The owners, Julie and Frank, are awesome to work with, and we've heard nothing but great things about them from our clients. The Mountain House offers a large variety of scenic backdrops, from the mountain views, to the apple orchard, to the nearby covered bridge. It makes photographing there a pleasure.

I really love working at Mountain House on Sunday River. The venue is absolutely gorgeous inside and out and Julie and Frank are always a pleasure to work with. Not to mention there is a historic covered bridge not 5 minutes walk down the road. I would recommend this venue to anyone who loves the Maine wilderness but also enjoys the comfort of a beautiful New England style farmhouse. Can't wait for my next wedding there!
