    A fairytale wedding

    This was the most beautiful, magical wedding. I couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous venue. The trailing ivy and vines sprawling on literally everything was so whimsical and lovely. I loved that there were multiple options for the ceremony, including a BEAUTIFUL rustic barn for our rainy wedding day.

    The Perfect Magical and Romantic Barn Venue

    Caswell Farm was the best mix of magical, rustic, unique, genuine, and whimsical. We knew it was the perfect place to have our wedding even when we first saw it under a layer of early spring snow. And not only were we enthralled by the space, but by the owner, Catherine. We instantly knew we were in the right place to make our wedding day come to life, and we were absolutely right. Caswell provided the gorgeous and romantic setting for our perfect day, and not only do we still daydream about our wedding, but several months later family and friends are still going out of their way to tell us what a fantastic time they had.

    Caswell's staff made a lot happen behind the scenes to make that the case, and to make everything run smoothly for us. Catherine and her team were amazing at answering questions and making sure we had everything we needed throughout the planning process, and their wedding coordinator Nicole was an absolute star. We never considered not adding her services to our day, and I will be forever grateful for the amount of calm she brought to the whole affair. When certain things became complicated (as they always will, the morning of your wedding) Nicole fixed everything, gently kept everything on track, brought an air of professionalism mixed with kindness that immediately told me she had everything handled, and ultimately made it far easier for me to be present in the moment and not worry about running the show.

    I would suggest Caswell and their team to literally anyone planning a wedding, and need to also give a shout out to their partner caterer, Barn & Table, which was an absolutely instrumental part of the whole event. My husband and I joke often about someday doing the whole thing over again at Caswell for a big wedding anniversary, and we might just have to; it was that wonderful.

    Perfect Barn Venue!

    We got married at Caswell at the beginning of September and it was more than perfect! The venue itself is so beautiful so we really didn’t do much decor since it speaks for itself. We had 135 guests with a tent sent up behind the barn for dinner and our DJ in the barn, it was the perfect set up! The bonfire was also a great addition that our guests loved. Caswell Farm gave the back yard wedding feel we were looking for and all our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the venue was! Having the option to get ready the morning of, and then stay the night at the little house on the property was also such a huge plus for us. Owner Catherine, and day-of-coordinator Nicole were both so helpful throughout the planning process and day of. Couldn’t have picked a better venue!

    A magical evening

    Barn and farm is a magical place. There was nothing like standing on the barn porch watching our guests in the tent all aglow. Food was so good! Garden ceremony was perfect! Staff were awesome. All of our questions and concerns were handled quickly and efficiently!

    Caswell Farm & Wedding Barn's reply:

    Audrey,
    An amazing night. Thank you for trusting us to help you shine!
    Best in you future together.

    Amazing venue and owner!

    I got married here mid June and cannot say enough great things about this venue! The venue was perfect for our guests of 60 people (it could easily fit many more). We got married outside in the beautiful garden. Had plenty of space to play lawn games and allow the kids to run around. Dinner was out in the lawn under a tent with incredible food served from Barn & Table. Dancing in the barn with the large outdoor firepit was the perfect way to end the day.

    We were naive when picking out a venue but feel so lucky we chose Caswell Farms because it was equipped with so many things we didn't have to go out and rent from i.e; tables, games, on site space to get ready in and we even had an intimate rehearsal dinner in the barn the night before.

    Catherine was so down to earth and answered my many many questions I had throughout the 1.5 years of planning with good advice and always prompt responses. Our wedding day was an absolute dream and I owe a large part of that to this perfect wedding venue and Catherine!

    10/10 Experience!

    I got married at Caswell Farm in early June and could not have asked for a better equipped venue and attentive owner!
    The layout and ease of the venue allowed both us and our guests to relax and enjoy the day. We were able to utilize the barn for lounge seating, bar service, and dancing while the grassy yard was perfect for games.
    Catherine was so helpful with our setup -answering questions, providing some advice, and was readily available for setup/take down/day-of.
    I cannot recommend Caswell Farm enough, if you're in search of a venue, this one should be at the top of your list!

    Beautiful Setting for the Best Day Ever!

    Caswell Farm is beautiful, and Catherine and her team are amazing! We fell in love with the venue the first time we saw it -- the space is laid out so well, creating so many opportunities to personalize it for your event. We were able to DIY the things we wanted to but also rely on Catherine and her team to help with whatever we didn't want to take on (day-of-planning, set-up, etc.). The farmhouse is also a beautiful option for staying overnight. I would highly recommend Caswell Farm to anyone looking for a gorgeous and unique outdoor venue. We would choose it again in a heartbeat.

    Idyllic Wedding Venue. Wonderful Owner

    I could not have asked for a better experience at Caswell Farm & Wedding Barn for our wedding. From a purely transactional view, Catherine was a very professional vendor to work with and the property had everything we expected in terms of the maintenance of the grounds and barn. Beyond that, Catherine was just a lovely person to work with and you can really tell how much she cares about the property. Her farm is the exact opposite of the canned, made-for-instagram wedding experience that some venues now tend to feel like (though your photos will look awesome). There was something for everyone to do at the reception, from tearing up the dance floor in the barn to playing lawn games by the fire and walking around in the beautiful gardens. Its a big space yet the layout and small touches simultaneously make the property feel very intimate. Thanks again Catherine!!

    Outstanding, will be back

    Omg! I am so happy I stumbled across Caswell Farm at the last minute. My husband and I looked all over for a farm for our outdoor ,Maine, Summer wedding. Most barns were like 30k and came with nothing. When I walked into the farmhouse they even had fresh chocolate chip cookies and coffee and I was instantly in love! When I found out I coule have my entire party on site, from ceremony to dancing.. I was all in. They even have a shed of supplies you can use like cornhole, and photo walls and signage. Catherine and her team made everything so stress free and even cut me a lil slack on my cleanup, as in..none of my crew came to help and she did not make me feel stressed or rushed. It was an amazing experience. 10/10 and I highly recommend for anyone getting married or looking to book an event. It was affordable, especially considering all the amenities and that it came with farm tables and chairs. Honestly, I want to throw another party just so I can rent from them again.

    The best decision

    My husband and I got married at Caswell in September 2019, and we absolutely LOVED having our wedding here. I truly cannot sing Caswell's praises enough. We visited in the winter when the venue was still covered in snow and ice, but we knew it would be the perfect backdrop for our early fall wedding. From the first time we contacted Catherine, the owner of the venue, we knew she and her venue were both something special. Caswell isn't your typical "wedding factory" that is owned by someone looking to jam-pack each weekend with weddings just to make a ton of money. Catherine truly cared about us and our vision, and worked to make sure we felt supported during the entire wedding planning process. Additionally, her staff at Barn & Table catering and at the Bar Association were a joy to work with. Each staff member was excited to hear our plans and work with us to create the best day possible for our wedding.
    On our wedding day, our guests were blown away by how special, unique and intimate the wedding felt, even though we had about 150 guests. The way the venue is set up allows guests to meander around the property and enjoy a wedding in their preferred way - such as sitting under trees in an Adirondack chair, playing lawn games, walking around the gardens, or dancing the night away in the barn. This creates a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere that guests absolutely love.
    I could go on and on about Caswell, but I'll end by saying this: choosing Caswell Farm & Wedding Barn as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made.

    The perfect fit!

    We can’t say enough good things about Caswell Farm! We quickly fell in love with the property and felt immediately at ease working with Catherine. The venue is truly beautiful - rustic yet magical, charming, and fun. Catherine was also our day-of coordinator and from start to finish from booking the venue to the wedding itself, she made the entire process feel warm, thoughtful, and personal. We left our wedding weekend floating and feeling like Caswell Farm was a new home for us and a place we would always treasure. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    The most magical intimate wedding

    Catherine and her team at Caswell are outstanding. If you’re considering getting married here, stop looking elsewhere and do it!
    The people and the atmosphere here are anything you could ever want for your wedding day. The farm and barn are stunning. We had a chilly, rainy day, but it was still magical because Catherine her crew worked so hard to help us make it perfect. I was stressed the morning of, and Catherine had all the answers to all of my questions, and then some.
    Honestly, we can’t say enough. Our family was blown away by the hospitality and the beauty on our special day. If you want a real, genuine, hardworking woman to help you turn your day into everything you imagined and more- get married at Caswell Farm... and if you want the MOST delicious meal you’ll ever have, hire Brian and their in-house catering company. Best day ever thanks to so many kind & talented people.

    Incredible

    We had our wedding at Caswell Farm in the beginning of August 2021 and we had an absolutely wonderful experience with the venue, the owner Catherine and her staff.

    We were a postponement couple and ended up coming from another venue where we weren't treated all that good to Caswell Farms and it completely uplifted our hope and excitement. Catherine is incredible to work with. She is very understanding, very fair and patient. I truly don't understand how she manages all that she does.

    The venue was stunning on our wedding day. The flowers at the ceremony site were all in bloom and the vines were wrapped around the barn. Because the venue itself was so beautiful, we truly didn't need much in terms of decor.

    I would HIGHLY recommend Caswell farm as Catherine, her staff, and the venue exceeded our expectations.

    Our Dream Venue with Vintage Vibe

    Caswell Farm was the perfect spot for our wedding.

    Catherine was great from the moment we met her. She even made us cookies at her house when we were initially discussing and touring the venue. She was very genuine and helpful throughout the process, which was invaluable during the stressful period of planning a wedding. She was always quick to reply to our questions, and consistently reminding us that no question was too small. She was flexible for us in certain moments and we really enjoyed working with her!

    The venue itself was beautiful. The gardens all around the premises were well-kept and blooming. Our photographer had many options for photos on site. The ceremony was out back in the farm’s rock garden, which easily seated our 140 guests. We had food trucks parked alongside a tent near the barn, where they were easily able to set up and get in and out. And lastly we had dancing in the old barn, which acted almost like a stadium when doing our first dances.

    We highly recommend Caswell Farm and Catherine!

    Our wedding was better than we ever could have planned for thanks to Caswell Farm!

    When Katy and I visited the farm for the first time, we knew within minutes of being there and meeting Catherine that it was the venue for us. It's a gorgeous setting with a beautiful farm house and barn and big open fields.

    Catherine was the perfect host. She helped us with the details along the way and made suggestions based on what had been successful on the farm in the past. Catherine is so warm and welcoming and laid back, and her approach to everything put us at ease. She and her crew were indispensable throughout the process.

    It's been a few weeks since our big day and we are still getting calls from friends and family telling us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. The magic of Caswell Farm deserves the credit.

    If you are looking for a charming, rustic yet elegant venue to create your perfect wedding day I would highly recommend Caswell Farm, Gray, ME. The wedding package they offer , which allows for the ceremony and reception all on the property, allowed us to personalize and create the wedding day we wanted. We were able to use the the entire property to create an atmosphere of relaxed celebration which was exactly what we wanted. Everything was beautiful, it was easy to create our perfect day with such a beautiful back drop. Catherine Caswell was very easy to work with she answered any questions we had and was very accommodating. We highly recommend using Caswell Farm for any event, but especially for weddings!!!

    The best decision we made for our July wedding! Caswell Farm is a fairy tale- the authenticity and character of the farm and barn make this venue truly one of a kind. Our guests can not stop raving about the spot, there is so much beauty here. Catherine and her team are so accommodating and easy to work with - they were there to answer any questions and made the day so much more relaxed and enjoyable by making sure it all went smoothly! We would pick Caswell 100x over , it exceeded all of our expectation and made our wedding one people will not forget!

    Authentic, accessible, charming, and professional!

    Caswell Farm was the perfect location for our wedding. It is picturesque, rustic, cozy, and welcoming. It is close enough to Portland for guests to find adequate lodging and sight see around southern Maine, yet tucked away in the quiet woods of Gray for intimate event.
    The space has so much versatility and innate character. Catherine has loads of Knick-knacks, and wedding accessories so you can make the space your own. There are plenty of nooks for guests to explore and the barn is the perfect venue for any band or dance party. OUr guests could not get over the authenticity and beauty of the venue! Plus, the working farm on the property makes it all the more charming :)
    Catherine and Leah are so accommodating and professional - they helped in any way we asked, yet allowed us to have virtual fee-reign over the property for our wedding weekend. They were accessible by phone, email, and in-person, and made us feel like our wedding was special - not just another weekend affair.
    Caswell Farm was an authentic, dreamy, and accessible for our 150-person wedding. We highly recommend it to anyone!!

    The perfect barn wedding!!

    From the moment we stepped onto Caswell Farm we knew it would be the perfect place to get married. It is authentically rustic, elegant and inviting. Close to Portland for guest flying in from out of town. Working with Catherine was a breeze. She is professional and approachable and really makes you feel welcome in her home. She's been in the wedding industry a LONG time and was able to help us with other vendors and makes suggestions that we wouldn't have otherwise thought about. The barn is absolutely stunning! big enough for all of our guests to dance, but small enough to feel cozy. I can't speak highly enough about Caswell farm!!

    Simply Wonderful

    Our experience with Caswell Farm was wonderful. We would not have changed a single thing. The farm is nestled away on a quaint Maine back road, but still close to Portland. Our guests were able to enjoy southern Maine and lodge close by. From the start Catherine understood our vision and helped put it into place. She was happy to offer recommendations but gave us the freedom to make the space our own with personal touches. The farmhouse is cozy and homelike inside and the wedding barn is charming and beautiful. Our wedding ceremony was set up outside in the adjoining field and made a seamless transition to the reception. The venue made for beautiful pictures too! Our day was truly magical, and we are so glad that we chose Caswell Farm for our special day. We recommend it to everyone for any event, but especially a wedding. Thank you, Caswell Farm!

    Catherine was a pleasure to work with and we so enjoyed using the authentically rustic barn as well as her charming farm house for Friday night rehearsal dinner and Sat wedding ceremony under the beautiful birch arbor. The reception under the tent , buffet and dancing in the barn not to mention being able to have a toasty Bon fire on a chilly autumn night made my daughter's wedding so unique and memorable. It was exactly the casual fun atmosphere we were looking for and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Caswell Farm for anyone wanting a home style event in a beautiful country setting.
