Best Maine venue ever!

We can’t say enough positive things about our experience having our wedding at the Old Saco Inn! I cannot overstate how GORGEOUS the venue is. And the staff was so supportive, organized, and genuinely cared about making our day special. They worked with us on a few accommodations and a last minute rain plan, which eased our minds on an already high-pressure day. We received SO many compliments from our guests about the venue, location, stunning scenery, as well as things like the flow of our day and how seamless everything felt.

On another note, it was also so much fun and so special to stay on the property with our family and wedding party, and the breakfast every morning was seriously to die for. If you’re considering OSI as your venue, do it!!! It’s one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning!

Book this Venue!

Everything about our wedding exceeded any expectations we had all thanks to the Old Saco Inn, Kathy, and all of the staff. For starters, the grounds and barn are stunning. The Inn and Carriage house are both cozy, spacious, and so fun for the whole bridal party to stay at all weekend. We loved that our dog was able to join us in our celebrations, and she loved it too! Rehearsal dinner at the Inn was perfect and delicious, followed by a welcome party in the Inn/Pub. All the staff were so friendly, patient, and accommodating, not to mention so hard working and genuinely seem happy to be there. Tyler was such a rock star all weekend, helping with anything and everything you could imagine. We worked the bar hard with our 200 guests, but everyone raved about the drinks and the service. We truly felt so relaxed and taken care of from the second we arrived. Our guests provided many compliments, and most importantly everyone had such a good time. Kathy has amazing vendor recommendations, many of which we used, and is full of very useful knowledge on wedding planning. If you're looking to have a wedding that is classy, yet so fun and relaxed, this is your place. We could not feel more grateful to have found The Old Saco Inn. It truly will live in our hearts forever.

Our wedding weekend at The Old Saco Inn was absolutely perfect!

Bruce and Kathy were so accommodating throughout our entire weekend from the time we arrived to the time we checked out. The entire staff on property was so accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed all weekend and making sure the groom had a Coors light in hand at all times. Our wedding day went off without any issues and was exactly how I have always pictured my dream wedding. Kathy handled everything and took the stress off of us from the time we arrived to the time we left. She even worked with us to accommodate our outdoor ceremony in the middle of February. We can't thank The Old Saco Inn enough for all of their help and hospitality to all of our guests. We received countless feedback from our guests that it was one of the best weddings they have ever attended. Thank you to all the staff, Bruce and Kathy for making our wedding day a day we will never forget!

Incredibly Fantastic!!!!!!!

How do I begin!!! From the start the staff at Old Saco Inn made us feel like family. From the tasting to the final dance, we felt so at home and so welcomed. The feedback received from our guests was full of positive loving thoughts. The ceremony at the bridge made for an extra special memory. The food that Annie and her staff prepared was out of this world.
The thoughtfulness that went into our dessert table in memory of Dan's Mom was so special. The guests loved the stations (especially the potato bar.) We cannot thank Kathy, Jon, Wayne, Annie Tyler and the rest of the staff enough. They certainly made our Wedding Weekend a weekend to remember. We can't wait to go back!! Love the Mackins!!

Perfect wedding weekend!

From the rehearsal dinner, to the wedding, to the farewell brunch, everything was perfect! We weren't sure how it would all come together, but it did! It ran so smoothly. The employees at the Old Saco Inn allowed us to relax and enjoy the day!

Amazing Wedding Venue!

We got married at the Old Saco Inn on September 23rd and couldn't have asked for a better experience! The venue itself is absolutely stunning, but being able to stay on property with our closest family and friends all weekend made it even more perfect! Bruce, Kathy, Tyler and their entire staff were very welcoming and accommodating. We all had a wonderful time!
With that being said, there aren't enough thank yous in the world for Kathy, the wedding coordinator at the Old Saco Inn. She truly made my wedding day dreams come true! I am certainly a "type a" bride and had a vision in my head and Kathy executed it perfectly. I spent the day relaxing in the bridal suite with my best friends while her and her team transformed the space into everything I had hoped for.
They also went above and beyond to make sure our ceremony and reception were perfect. We chose the mountain view ceremony space and the views were amazing - quite a walk to the aisle but 100000% worth it! Tyler was also incredible with us and our guests during the reception. He was SO MUCH FUN and basically our hype man! We had a large and rowdy crowd and they handled it perfectly! Not a single guest had a bad experience and we couldn't be more grateful for that. We HIGHLY recommend the Old Saco Inn!

Amazing Venue

The Old Saco Inn in the perfect wedding venue. Kathy, the wedding planner, Tyler, and all of the staff are amazing and available to make everything as stress-free as possible. The restaurant, inn, barn, and beautiful grounds with the covered bridge are perfect for all of the wedding weekend events. All of their food is delicious and well prepared. They're very helpful with dietary restrictions. It was a fabulous wedding site for my daughter and son-in-law and all involved.

Such a hidden gem!

My husband and I got married at the old Saco in this past December. We couldn’t of asked for a better venue. Kathy, our planner, was great, and everything was set up, just as we wanted the day off. Having her as our included day of coordinator was so helpful! She was there for rehearsal and at the church for our ceremony. They have so much to offer at this venue. If they have the capabilities, they will make any of your wants come to life! The pricing was transparent, and the small details they added to our day, without nickel and diming was much appreciated. I used their battery candles in all of my centerpieces, They offered a couple easels that they happen to have, they hung our lighted name, sign above the bar, and even moved their giant Christmas tree to sit behind us at our sweetheart table. The rehearsal dinner space that is included was just perfect! It made for such a cozy and intimate rehearsal dinner. everyone enjoyed the lovely rooms at the Inn. They were so convenient for family and friends. I do wish they build more in the future! They have numerous beautiful outdoor ceremony sites that couples can choose, and even installed some beautiful giant barn doors at the entrance to make indoor ceremonies more convenient. They added a second bar upstairs for larger events just before our wedding. The getting ready space for the bridal party is just perfect and allows you to be right inside the venue to watch as things come together. When my husband and I came down with Covid, the day of our tasting, Kathy and the chef were so kind as to box up our food to have one of my bridesmaids pick up and deliver it to us. They even allowed us to come in for a complimentary dinner after our quarantine ended so that we could try the food hot as well! I truly feel fortunate to have found this spot in what is still considered the beginning of their wedding venture. If you have the opportunity to choose it for yours, I wouldn’t hesitate! I have no doubt this will soon become one of the most popular and sought after spots to get married in Maine!
