The BEST Venue - All Around!

Having a cumulative 5 star review when you have a handful of reviews is good. Having a cumulative 5 star review when you have 75+ reviews says something! You can absolutely trust the submissions. Our entire experience could not have been better and we recommend this venue 100%.

We'll start with Jayson, the venue coordinator. All the advice you read in wedding articles or see on Tik Tok and Instagram about a venue coordinator only looking out for their space and their team completely goes out the window when you work with Jayson. He is there for you from start to finish, offering to help out and do things leading up to and on the day that most in his position won't do. He was the most helpful and available basically the entire year from signing our contract until our wedding day. But most importantly, he's kind and sincere and understanding and a joy to work with.

Next up - the space. Before wedding season 2023, all new floors were installed throughout the venue that are beautiful and brighten up the space, and a gorgeous new tent with crystal chandeliers was installed too. The vibe of the space is "coastal modern", which can perfectly be dressed up or down depending on whether you're going for casual new england or an elegant affair. We saw the space for the first time on a FaceTime with Jayson and loved it virtually - seeing it in person was a real 'wow' moment.

Location is conveniently right off the ferry so no worries about guests getting lost or complaining of their feet hurting from a long walk to get there.

Lastly, the food was delicious. We had very picky friends tell us it was the best shrimp cocktail they've had in a long time, which says a lot! The presentation of the raw bar in a boat was so cute. We had no idea that's how it would come out and it definitely impressed our guests. If you're having a wedding in Maine you have to plus up on the lobster! You won't go wrong with the mini lobster rolls (really good size for a mini) and the filet & lobster meal. It's obviously the priciest option, and we were a little worried on quality because of the mass production aspect for an event, but it was very good and worth the extra spend.

You really cannot go wrong with choosing The Inn on Peaks Island. It's a gem of a find that we are so, so happy is part of our story now forever!

Beautiful venue with incredible coordinator

As all the other reviews have said, Jayson at the Inn on Peaks was truly incredible to work with. He was super responsive in answering our many questions and requests throughout the planning process and executed everything perfectly. Most importantly, he was fun to work with and made us feel at ease. Plus, the venue itself is gorgeous! The grounds and gazebo are beautiful for an outdoor ceremony, there are cool indoor-outdoor rooms with seating for cocktail hour, there’s a beautiful new tent with draping and chandeliers for dinner, and there’s space inside the inn for dancing.

The BEST venue around!

Our experience working with Jayson and the Inn was truly a dream come true. There aren't enough kind words we can use to describe this venue, Jayson and his team, other than that they helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives. We knew right away upon first meeting Jayson that this was where we were going to get married. From the experience of the 15-min ferry ride over from Portland (our favorite city), to the chic, coziness of the Inn, to the warm, heartfelt and professional personality of Jayson, there's really no better venue than the IOPI for your special day. Every question/concern was answered both promptly and in detail, making the entire process seem much more manageable and easier to digest. Since they were also catering the food, the tasting that took place months before the big day was beautifully done and reassured us that the food at our wedding would be 10/10. The Inn provided the perfectly intimate yet roomy setting that we were looking for to entertain our roughly 120 guests in. If you're looking for a venue with a unique experience, terrific layout and the most outstanding director, then look no further than The IOPI. We love you Jayson and can't thank you enough! - M&M

Perfect in Every Way!

Our wedding at The Inn on Peaks Island was perfect in every way. Everything starts with Jayson and the entire staff at the Inn that go above and beyond in everything they do. There were certain times throughout our planning process that stressed us out, but Jayson helped us work through all those decisions to create the perfect wedding day. The entire staff on our big day was amazing. They were there first thing in the morning helping us set up, and stayed throughout to make sure everything went smoothly. We truly can't thank them enough. The Chef is also incredible, and people are still complimenting the food.

The venue itself is beautiful, and has the perfect spaces for everything. The ceremony in front of the incredible gardens was perfect. The dinner tent is amazing, and the outdoor areas for cocktail hour were perfect for mingling with our guests. The dance floor and bar area were just the right space for an incredibly fun time. On top of all that, the spa and the private patio space for the wedding party were the perfect spots to get ready and gather ourselves. If you are staying at the Inn, the rooms are also beautiful and were big enough for us to hang out with our entire wedding party. The Inn on Peaks Island is truly the perfect wedding venue.

Perfect from start to finish

Jayson and the staff at the Inn on Peaks Island made our wedding the perfect experience we desired. The service, food, venue, and everything in between was incredible. If we ever had any questions or concerns, both before and during the wedding, the entire staff was willing and able to assist our needs. I would suggest getting married at the Inn for anyone interested. Our experience was absolutely perfect!

The Way a Wedding Should Be

We cannot recommend the Inn on Peaks Island highly enough. We had our small wedding on New Year's Eve so made use of both the Bay View room and the attached heated/covered patio. Jayson and his team were meticulous in helping us think through every detail of the day. Jayson is in a tier of his own when it comes to service professionals. Over the 13 months, we were planning our wedding, he was responsive, kind, and resourceful. We had our families and wedding party stay in the Inn which has been beautifully renovated. We had a brunch wedding with an incredible spread: the food is delicious and thoughtfully prepared.

This is not a venue that is trying to give you a cookie-cutter wedding - they offer everything that you could need, but also want to ensure that your vision comes to life. A few examples: a few weeks before the wedding we asked if we could add a stout to our beer list. The bar is stocked by Shipyard and they were not able to get any in for the wedding. Jayson generously offered to go out to the grocery store and buy us some Guinness to ensure we had a stout on the menu. He was there on the 6:45AM ferry the morning of our wedding to open the salon and ensure my wife and her bridesmaids had breakfast. Finally, we had a few gluten-free guests and asked if they could mark which food was gluten-free: Jayson proactively offered several gluten-free options including making their signature lobster rolls with lettuce wraps so all of our guests could enjoy some Maine lobster. My parents flew into town back in October and we showed up on Peaks Island unannounced. Jayson dropped everything and gave my parents a full tour of the Inn on Peaks - they told us it was the highlight of their trip.

We researched so many venues along the Maine coast but as soon as we walked in the doors of the Inn on Peaks, we knew it was the place for us. If a one-stop-shop wedding venue on a quaint island with whole-hearted Maine hospitality is your cup of team, then book The Inn on Peaks.

Amazing Wedding Location

As anyone reading through reviews will quickly learn, you cannot talk about the Inn on Peaks without talking about Jayson and his team. From the first day we met him he was nothing short of a delight, and he truly orchestrates the perfect wedding weekend. He was an amazing partner in decision making (covid delays, vendor recs, etc.), provided seamless coordination with vendors, and made our whole Peaks experience wonderful. Even our tasting was incredible with him playing host!

The venue is stunning, the grounds are impeccable, the food is superb, the bartenders made our guests laugh - there isn’t a single wedding element that the Inn on Peaks doesn’t completely hit out of the park. With that as a base, and Jayson running the show the Inn creates the ideal wedding for any couple.

We can’t cover all the incredible effort and sublime care that Jayson and the team put into our weekend in this review but trust us, and the litany of other glowing reviews, that working with Jayson and the Inn on Peaks is a no brainer. You’re thinking, is he really that incredible? He really is. THANK YOU JAYSON!

Highly recommend

I truly cannot recommend the Inn on Peak’s enough for your wedding. From the first day we toured the venue, through a COVID postponement and right through our wedding night, Jayson and his staff made us feel like we were the only wedding on their calendar. Jayson was responsive and incredibly helpful with every email and request we had for 2 years. Your tasting is a personal experience and every time we visited the inn Jayson gave us a hug, poured us a drink and took the time to chat with us. The inn was incredibly accommodating and considerate when COVID changed our plans. On wedding day, Jayson and Kiersten not only made everything easy for me, my groom and family but even laughed cried and danced with us. The inn is a beautiful setting, the food is phenomenal and the staff there will make your day absolutely perfect in every way from beginning to end.

Look no further for the BEST Maine wedding venue!

What wedding dreams are made of!

The Wedding Coordinator, Jayson, was AMAZING! He made the entire experience and day feel at ease. He's extremely organized and very responsive. Unlike most wedding vendors, he got back to us with every little question we had (and we had a lot lol) immediately. He made the experience fun! If we could have a wedding every year at this venue with Jayson by our side we would! :)

Outstanding!

Planning and executing a wedding during a global pandemic was certainly not easy but we did it! Jayson and Olivia handled every single detail to ensure that our daughter's wedding was absolutely perfect! They were very flexible with all of the changes that occurred and adapted without hesitation. The food was outstanding - our guests continue to reach out to tell me what a great time they had. The venue and newly renovated rooms are beautiful. The grounds are a gorgeous backdrop. I highly recommend working with Jayson and his team for your wedding! Wedding 8/15/2020

The Inn on Peaks Island is one of our absolute favorite venues to work at. It's always such an experience! Our couples and their guests get to take the ferry over from Portland and the ride over is always filled with fun anticipation. Every room at the Inn is a dream to photograph in with large windows overlooking the bay and the lawn and tent are perfect spaces for a wedding. A quick walk across the street is the beach perfect for sunset portraits while the couples guests enjoy the sunset views from the deck of the Inn.
