Facilities and Capacity

Wedding weekends at Newagen Seaside Inn are a great combination of indoor and outdoor settings. Options include hosting a traditional lobster bake on the lawn to welcome your guests, followed by a campfire under the stars and welcome drinks in our cozy restaurant with outdoor firepit. Have your ceremony seaside on our expansive lawn and explore our beautiful gardens and gazebo during cocktail hour, then move indoors for a three-course dinner and dancing for up to 200 guests in our oceanview reception space. (We do also allow a limited number of tented weddings each season). Our vintage game room, complete with candlepin bowling, provides the perfect space for a nightcap or after party, and Newagen’s 20 acres provides incredible photo opportunities with ocean views and legendary sunsets.

During your wedding weekend the entire property is exclusive to you and your guests! We offer lodging (with breakfast included) for 112 guests on site. The property feels like a private estate shared with your family and friends, who can lounge by the saltwater pool, row around the harbor, play tennis, pickleball and lawn games, or simply enjoy the sea breeze in an Adirondack chair or hammock.

Seamless Service and Coastal Charm

Working with Newagen Seaside Inn was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. As a wedding planner, I truly value venues that create a seamless and welcoming experience for both clients and vendors, and Newagen exceeded every expectation.

Tiffany, our venue coordinator, was a standout throughout the planning process and wedding day. Her responsiveness and clear communication made everything feel effortless, from initial logistics to last-minute details. Tiffany’s helpfulness ensured that the day flowed smoothly, allowing our couple to relax and fully enjoy their celebration.

Maura, the Director of Sales, brought a warmth and professionalism that made everyone—guests and vendors alike—feel immediately at home. Her accommodating nature was evident in every interaction, and her thoughtful approach contributed to a truly memorable experience.

Beyond the incredible team, the venue itself offers a breathtaking backdrop and an inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements a celebration of love. I can’t recommend Newagen Seaside Inn enough for anyone looking for a venue that combines impeccable service with stunning coastal charm.

Thank you, Tiffany, Maura, and the entire team at Newagen Seaside Inn, for helping create such an unforgettable event. I can’t wait to work together again!

Wedding of our dreams

Newagen has a charm they write books about. The island and landscape is a special place. The magic is in the air from start to finish. Most importantly the staff have pride, professionalism and charisma in everything they do. We were treated like kings and queens our entire wedding weekend. If Newagen is available for your weekend, do not hesitate. We could not have scripted a better weekend if we tried to. It is a one of a kind place with a one of a kind staff. Abby, Maura, and Tiffany are the dream team. The rest of the staff is on it all weekend. The rehearsal dinner lobster bake is over the top. The grounds for a ceremony cocktail hour and reception are 5 stars. Their team and coordination made our weekend so easy. We danced, we laughed, we drank and ate like a happy couple should all weekend. You cannot get this anywhere else. Thank you so much to the whole Newagen team. You made a core memory for us but also our friends and family. Can’t wait to come back and visit xoxo

Perfect wedding weekend

We recently got married at the Newagen Seaside Inn, and we can only express great things. Every detail was perfect. The grounds/inn were beautiful, the food was delicious, the staff were beyond attentive and kind, and the vibe was laid back but elegant. Every guest came up to us remarking at how perfect the weekend was (the Pine Room is such a big hit), and many remarked at how the Newagen is a hidden gem they had never heard of. Maura, Tiffany, and Abby were amazing points of contact throughout the entire process and made the entire wedding planning process as smooth as possible. Growing up in Maine, I always dreamed of getting married on the Maine Coast and Newagen allowed for that dream to come true. We will certainly be back for our anniversaries. It truly was the perfect weekend at Newagen.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
