The Hive Farmhouse & Wedding Barn is one of Maine's most sought after venues, located conveniently just outside of Portland. For 5 years, this remarkable property has been setting the bar for timeless, rustic events in a charming, quintessential Maine farm setting. The serene and beautifully landscaped grounds offer an intimate setting to host your event. Located in the 4 season destination area of The Southwestern Maines Lakes & Mnts Region, (Waterford), the custom-designed gardens and 19 acres of fields provide an enchanting setting for your celebration. The detached horse barn and farmhouse have been meticulously restored and renovated to capture Maine's charm while simultaneously offering modern amenities to facilitate flawless events.
Weddings include use of the entire property, including overnight accommodations in the farmhouse for up to 23 guests across 7 bedrooms & 3,300 sq ft of chic farmhouse for your weekend event. Couples typically host their ceremony and reception on site, as well as rehearsal dinner & day after brunch. Our wedding couples consistently share that they are able to make themselves totally at home with family and friends allowing them to truly soak up all of the "little moments" around the weekend & big day. From a morning hike or yoga in the barn to late night with smores around the fire pit with their closest friends/family. Given our proximity to the Lakes, Mnts, Oxford Casino, Oxford Beer Garden & Portland, our couples love what the area has to offer (restaurants, hotels, and rental homes for guests) with the natural beauty and privacy of this remarkable property.
Our average sized wedding is around 80 guests & regularly host micro to large weddings up to 200+ guests.
.....The Hive Weddings also provides two other very unique tented Log Home Wedding Venues, Big Sky Mnt Estate, also highlighted on Wedding Wire, The Knot & Airbnb & Blue Spruce Lodge, both located in Brownfield, ME on the Conway, NH border.
