Fall wedding in Maine

We rented the hive farm and wedding barn for our wedding weekend in October and it was absolutely perfect! Eric was such an incredible help through the whole process and was genuinely excited about making our day the best. The property was gorgeous and the foliage made the perfect back drop. Plenty of room on the property for people to camp! For our dining tent and our pups to roam free (just remember you’re in western mAine so watch out for skunks and critters)… I would recommend this venue a million times over.

Wedding August 2022

First off, there isn't quite enough words to describe how beautiful this wedding venue is. My wife & I were both looking for a venue that offered not only a large enough barn to fit all of our guest, but a place for guests who traveled to comfortably stay the night if chosen. The Hive offered us just that and more. The barn offers two levels, which made rehearsal dinner much easier due to the rain forcing us to be indoors as the upper level was not disturbed after being set up for the big day. The house gives off a soothing " country" vibe, perfect for a Maine wedding. The house had plenty of rooms & beds, all equipped with an air conditioner. Multiple bathrooms which made getting ready a breeze. The yard is exceptionally large with tons of room for tents, all the yard games & parking. Our caterers enjoyed using the carriage house beside the barn to set up all of the food. Overall, we have nothing but good things to say about this venue & the owner. Eric was very professional, easy to work with and answered all of our questions in a timely manner from start to finish. We would recommend this venue to everyone!

Easy and caring

This past weekend we got married at the hive in Waterford. Over the past year Eric has been a sounding board answering any and all questions, and meeting with us several times to check out the property together and with our families prior to the wedding. Each time we visited there were upgrades - additional flower locations, easier walk ways out of the barn to the ceremony, and overall. Not to mention he had maintenance mow the lawn a day before the wedding and then weed whack the morning of the wedding. Just so amazing. The hive in Waterford had several positives for us - the space for all our wedding party to spend the night without driving home, the barn that held our 100 guests, multiple stalls for our bar, photo booth, and gift area. The venue also had several places to take photos for us and our family and friends. You cannot beat the price, and to have such a lovely and accommodating host was something special. I feel so compelled to write a glowing review for Eric. We used both the hive in Waterford and trail side at Shawnee peak for our close family to stay. They had a lovely time and it all went really well!! Thank you so much Eric!
