About

On WeddingWire since 2023

Be a part of history on your big day by celebrating in the oldest house in Oxford County. The Watson Homestead is a lovely countryside wedding venue located in Sebago, Maine. This charming property was built in 1785, and it boasts idyllic scenery of rolling fields, towering pine trees, and a flowing riverfrontage. With its picturesque features and versatile space, the venue makes the perfect backdrop for your one-of-a-kind celebration.

Facilities and Capacity

The Watson homestead is conveniently situated near the village of Cornish, which has several restaurants, stores, and accommodations that you can explore. During your time at the venue, the friendly staff will show you to the bridal suite, where you and your loved ones can prepare for the exciting festivities. Afterward, you can exchange romantic vows underneath a rustic wooden arch on the manicured grounds. As you look around, you can breathe in the fresh air, hear the beautiful songs of chirping birds, and watch your guests' faces light up with smiles. Once you have said your "I dos," you can enter the restored barn with stained glass windows, a high ceiling, wooden beams, and twinkling lights, giving a whimsical aesthetic. With a capacity of up to 100 people, the barn is an ideal spot for intimate to medium-sized weddings. For those who would like more event space, the property has plenty of room for a tent to be pitched. Moreover, the in-house coordinator can arrange floral packages, event rentals, and a preferred vendor list to craft your magical day.

The most perfect venue!!!

Our day couldn’t have been any more amazing. Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure all of our details and vendors were in order so we could relax and enjoy the day. Even though it only about 15 minutes from town, the venue is so quiet, peaceful and secluded. The property is beautifully kept and all of the areas available made for a seamless day. We had a beautiful space to get ready in the historic carriage house which is only steps away from the ceremony site and the barn. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a beautiful Maine wedding!

The Watson Homestead: Personal and Fun

The Watson Homestead is beautiful, rustic, warm, and welcoming. The barn is lovely and the outdoor arbor is romantic. This was the best mix of indoor and outdoor mingling and photo opps. Even the dog was comfortable here and never in the way. If you have free time in your busy day, I recommend the walk down to the river.
