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 :)

I have nothing but absolutely positive things to say about mountain house on sunday river. Julie and Frank are absolutely amazing. They helped us every step of the way from picking vendors to day of support. Mountain House on Sunday River was a gorgeous site. My husband and I got married in the pine forest and have heard consistently from friends that we had one of the most beautiful weddings ever.

This was the perfect venue with the most laid back vibe. The location, the picturesque mountain backdrop was breathtaking. Julie went above and beyond to make everything I wanted/needed happen without a hassle or any stress. The food… amazing. And you can BYOB !!!’ Which was huge on us saving money as the booze!

Our daughter, the bride, said her wedding was "perfect"...that's as good as it gets! The venue was absolutely beautiful, but even more important, the owners, Julie and Frank, were wonderful - professional, accommodating, and absolute experts at what they do. We had to postpone the ceremony due to COVID, and while we heard many horror stories of people being taken advantage of by other wedding venues, Julie and Frank stayed with us all the way and did everything they could to help us without charging any additional fees. Great people, great venue, great value = "perfect" wedding! Can't go wrong with Mountain House, book while you can!!!

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.

This experience was amazing- we got married during the Covid pandemic, Julie an Frank were so accommodating from the very start. They were always so easy to talk to an with all of the different questions that we had. The venue itself is breathtaking from the moment you arrive- there are so many different options at the Mountain House No matter what your style they are able to accommodate.
One of the things I truly loved was being able to have our family as well as our wedding party stay on site it made for great memories an great laughs.
I truly can’t Thank Frank an Julie enough for making our Wedding Day so amazing, they truly are what makes the Mountain House stand out from any other venue

The Mountain House was a fantastic venue for our wedding! Julie and Frank were amazing and really helped to coordinate for two people that had no idea what we were doing. The lodging was comfy and there was plenty of room so that nobody felt claustrophobic. The study in the farmhouse was particularly nice for me; it was the perfect place to convene with my groomsmen the night before the ceremony to finish writing my vows and the officiant's portion of the ceremony. The decor is great, not to mention the outdoor spaces and all the natural beauty and scenic views around the grounds. The Pine Cathedral was our chosen site for the ceremony, and it was lovely even without any extra decor. The next morning we went outside and found a perfect set of moose tracks through the altar space! Our wedding was pretty small since it was a destination wedding with about half of those invited being from Texas, but it never felt like there was too much space. At the same time, it felt like we could have easily had triple the people there without it feeling crowded at all. The way everything is so well planned out and put together between the deck, the barn, the fire pit, and even the bathrooms just made everything perfect for the reception after the ceremony. I think that two things stood out most to me about the Mountain House and our experience: the first was the absolutely gorgeous scenery of the mountains and woods of western Maine. We had our wedding in early-mid May, so not everything was green and lush yet but the views were still breathtaking. I must've walked down to the river across the field a half-dozen times while I was there just to enjoy the scenery. Our photographer had even come up the day before the wedding and spent it driving around the area getting great photos of the scenery. The second thing that stood out most was the help that Julie and Frank provided us with in coordinating everything. Between the catering and equipment rentals and everything else that went into preparing the wedding and reception, there was no way either my wife nor I would have been able to actually focus on the "getting married" part of the weekend without Julie's help. The only time I spoke to a vendor after we arrived was when I told the chef how good his prime rib was; Julie handled everything concerning vendor arrival, setup, breakdown, etc. and it really made the weekend a breeze from a coordination standpoint. Since the wedding itself was early and the reception was going to run until late, Julie had the idea to get doughnuts and cider from a local orchard so our guests could have an evening nosh; both were delicious and everyone raved about them. Did I mention that said orchard is owned by Stephen King? Seriously, I can't say enough about how great Julie and Frank were. Our wedding was as perfect as any could be. The ceremony was beautiful, the reception was joyous, everyone had a great time, and the Mountain House on Sunday River made it all possible. If you're looking for a beautiful outdoor venue in Maine with great people to work with, this is your place.

Julie and Frank were absolutely amazing to work with and their wedding is GORGEOUS! We can’t thank them enough for their expertise and help with planning and executing our perfect wedding day. Our guests are still raving about how fun our wedding was! Highly recommend!

I simply cannot write enough good things about Mountain House on Sunday River, and Frank and Julie. From the first moment we spoke on the phone Ms. Julie was full of energy and ideas, and made every effort to ensure that our day was perfect (which it was!) The pictures do not do it justice; when my husband and I first arrived, I started crying. The lodge and house are so much bigger than you think, and beautiful! The apple tree grove has fairly lights in the branches, giving it a magical look, and the pine cathedral is perfectly located. We had our ceremony in the Pine Cathedral, which looks like its in the middle of the woods, but simply turn around and it is an easy walk from the lodge/house! The barn, where we had the reception, was so rustic, and because we had a larger crowd, we also had a tent. Ms. Julie coordinated everything with the tent! It connected perfectly to the barn, and even though we had a bit of rain, everyone was dry and warm!
What is really neat about the property is that you can rent the two houses; we had our immediate family stay there with us. It was so fun, and very cost effective!
My husband and I are military, and our patches of communication with Ms. Julie and Frank were all over the place. However, they handled it so kindly and with great understanding! We communicated by email, text, and by phone, and every moment of contact was exciting and helped us move one step closer to finishing planning! Ms. Julie had some suggestions for vendors, and we went with every one except one (we did a lobster bake, and Ms. Julie and Frank were all for it and ensured it was all set up perfectly!). All of the vendors knew Julie and the venue well, so when it came time for the day they knew exactly where to set up and what to do!
Ms. Julie and Frank will go out of their way for you, and they really, truly care about you as a human being. My friends and family keep telling us that it was the best wedding they have ever been too, and that the memories of how beautiful the venue was will stick with them. I could write a whole book on the positive experiences we had at Mountain House and with Ms. Julie and Frank! They are the reason even our pastor said, "This is the most fun, chill wedding I've ever attended!"

Its been over a month since the wedding and I can't say enough good things about the whole experience. Julie and Frank were amazing to work with and have a beautiful venue that can accommodate a multitude of guests! The houses on the property allowed us to provide our wedding party a place to stay on site and made the day of the wedding extra relaxing since we were already at the location.

The weather was perfect, the views were great and everything went so smoothly. The new addition of the overhang on the barn for dancing was such a great idea and when it is lit up it looks great. Our guests still mention how much fun they had dancing and how great everything was!

The Mountain House also has some recommended vendors for DJ/food/flowers and all of the separate parties did a phenomenal job.

I can't wait to visit again and remember all the amazing moments of that special day. Thank you so much for everything and making this day the best day of our lives.
