    Total Pros at a Beautiful Spot!

    We had our reception at Clay Hill after our ceremony at another location. We had 25 people and used their Veranda room, deck, and lawn. The space was absolutely perfect - so cute and plenty of room for our guests.

    Rachel and her team were SO accommodating and were able to set up anything I asked for (lawn games, guest book, signs, etc.) so it all looked perfect when we came in! She was also super communicative and made planning easy and low-stress.

    The food was also fantastic! Highly recommend!!

    Dream Team!

    Rachel and the entire team helped to make our wedding planning experience easy and fun! We had a blast at our October 12th ceremony and reception and everything went smoothly. Working with a group of experienced vendors that take pride in their work made the package an easy decision.

    Wonderful and true professionals

    Clay Hill Farm were my off-site consultants for my October 5th wedding in York at the Dockside working as both my officiant and offering event advice. I hadn’t realized how much stress I’d been holding until I met with them and left our meeting with all of the tension zapped out of me. They answered questions I hadn’t even thought of and problem solved issues that had been nagging me for months in less than an hour. Jen was wonderful as my officiant, keeping my husband and I relaxed while we were out of our comfort zones and sharing in our joy for the day. I couldn’t recommend them more – they have a complete understanding of the business side as well as the emotional toll the planning takes on the bride/groom and surrounding family. Our day was made all the more special/stress free due to their involvement.

    You won’t find better

    Incredible place! Food was excellent, venue was beautiful, everything about this place was perfect. We planned from out of the area, and I could not have been easier. We chose their package that uses their suggested cake and dj vendors which made things SO much easier and efficient, they were also both awesome. You will not find a better value anywhere close to this or as nice in the area, we did a lot of searching. Thank you for an incredible day we will never forget! Will be back to visit for dinner!

    Best Wedding Rehearsal!

    We had our Rehearsal Luncheon at Clay Hill Farm and everything was fantastic! Because we had a rehearsal lunch rather than a dinner, the restaurant opened early just for us, and even allowed us to customize our menu (all of our guests are still raving about the food!). The atmosphere was so relaxed and warm, the staff was SO attentive, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Clay Hill Farm is amazing for any event!!

    Our wedding was uniquely "us" and Clay Hill guided us every step of the way!

    We are so grateful that we chose Clay Hill for our wedding! Rachel, Jen, and the entire staff are kind, professional, and quick on their feet. Clay Hill is beautiful and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more. My husband and I are in our twenties and we were largely funding our wedding ourselves, so staying within budget was a concern of ours. That being said, we did not have to sacrifice anything about what we envisioned with Rachel at the helm! She is so knowledgable and quick on her feet. It is hard to put into words just how happy we are to have been married at Clay Hill Farm.

    Best wedding venue

    We had our wedding June 8th at Clay Hill Farm and it was the best day of our lives!! Rachel helped us with all the planning leading to the wedding, she answered all our questions made sure everything was all set. Best part is the packages include almost everything you would need even a guitarist for the ceremony and cocktail hour!!! All the vendors they provided were amazing, they arranged everything with them. They truly made the whole wedding planning process so smooth and stress free. The entire staff, from waiters to bartenders were amazing.
    The day was better then we could imagine, we got so many complements about the food and the venue. Clay hill was accommodating to our every need even at last min. We can’t wait to go back to enjoy the restaurant!!

    Winter Wedding

    We had a small, 40 person ceremony and reception in the Fireside room in January- it was amazing! Rachel and Jen were so easy to work with and made the planning process a breeze. They coordinated a pianist for our reception and even set everything up for us day-of, which was a nice surprise. It was the perfect winter wedding location and we can't say enough great things about the venue, staff and the food. All our guests had a fantastic time and we received so many compliments about the venue and how pretty and cozy it was for our celebration. Thank you to everyone at Clay Hill for making our wedding day absolutely wonderful!

    A beautiful sunday wedding

    Our September 30, 2018 wedding at Clay Hill Farm was truly special. We had a Sunday afternoon wedding. The weather was perfect and we took advantage of the beautiful wooded grounds around the restaurant. We wanted an intimate day with friends and family that felt very personal, wasn't stressful for us in the planning process, and also had a great dance party. Clay Hill was able to fit our every need. We weren't based in Maine, so had to do 90% of the planning remotely. Rachel and Jen made what could have been a very stressful process straightforward. The vendors that they work with were uniformly excellent - especially our DJ, Scott Langlois.

    The day of, Rachel and Jen were on hand and ensured that everything went smoothly. They managed guest requests, helped direct the wait staff, and helped us send everyone off in style. The food we selected was delicious, and they thoughtfully saved some hors d'oeurves for us after we took photos following the ceremony. Jen made sure that my husband and I were taken care of, and fed. The day flew by and my husband and I were able to spend time with our guests and on the dance floor because Rachel and Jen had the logistics covered.

    I highly recommend working with them!

    We had our rehearsal dinner at Clay Hill Farm this past November and it was just perfect. The Farm was such a cozy and intimate setting for our small soon-to-be joining families. We had dinner for about 25 people in front of the fire and we enjoyed every minute of it. Clay Hill Farm offered more of a dining experience to our guests, many of which are from the area but had never been. The food and service were incredible. We pre-selected passed appetizers and a menu for out guests to chose from. The wine selections were great and they even handled a DELICIOUS cake to celebrate my father-in-laws birthday that happened to be that day. Jennifer was great to work with and it was clear she genuinely cared about making our event special. We will absolutely go back to Clay Hill Farm for any special occasions, or just a nice night out.

    The instance we walked out of our first meeting with Jenn, I knew this was the venue for me and my husband! During that first meeting, Jenn was so welcoming, inviting, understanding, and thorough. She answered all of my questions and did not try to push or sell me on anything, which I appreciated so much. Jenn and Rachel were so helpful and on top of everything during the whole planning process and there was never a doubt in my mind that my wedding would go off without a hitch! Everything about Clay Hill Farm was spectacular. The ceremony location is beautiful and the grounds themselves are just perfect for pictures! The food was spectacular and the inside of the restaurant fit my theme so well. It’s warm and inviting - perfect for my late fall wedding! All of my friends loved the food and drinks - saying how impressed they were at the bartenders concocting delicious beverages on very vague instructions ( i.e. no vodka or tequila, fruity but not citrus). If I could do it all again, I wouldn’t change anything. Jenn and Rachel were great. Never had a worry throughout the whole process including the day of! My husband and I are now planning our next visit for dinner to try some other dishes off the menu!

    Clay Hill Farm's reply:

From the first moment we met, I knew it would be a pleasure to be a part of your journey...and it WAS, and then some!-:) On behalf of the entire staff at Clay Hill Farm, thank you for the kind words and the honor of hosting your amazingly beautiful wedding! We wish you every happiness in your new life together, and can't wait to see you soon! Best Always,

    Our reception at Clay Hill Farm was absolutely perfect. The venue is beautiful, the food is delicious, the recommended vendors are amazing and the wedding coordinators at Clay Hill are experts. From the moment we had our first visit, I knew the wedding coordinators would make the wedding planning process enjoyable rather than stressful. The wedding coordinators are friendly and knowledgeable. They walked us through each step of the process with ease. They answered our many questions without ever making us feel like we were bothersome. They were truly a pleasure to work with and I couldn't imagine wedding planning without them.
    One of the many wonderful things Clay Hill offers to couples is a wedding "Open House", where they set the dining room as they do for weddings and bring in local vendors so couples have the opportunity to meet all the vendors in one place. We opted for a package, which included a DJ, guitarist and florist. All the vendors were phenomenal. We met with them individually and they exceeded our expectations.
    Rachel, our Clay Hill coordinator, was not only helpful with our reception planning but also offered to assist with our off-site ceremony. This was incredibly helpful.
    Our entire experience with Clay Hill Farm was perfect and I would highly recommend Clay Hill Farm as a wedding venue.

    Clay Hill Farm's reply:

    Oh, Marissa- thank you SO much for the kind words!! We thoroughly enjoyed being a part of your journey- thank you for the opportunity! Celebrating with you, Steve, and your family & friends was a such a pleasure! On behalf of the entire Clay Hill Farm wedding team- welcome to the family! We look forward to seeing you both soon-:)

    Rachel and Jen were wonderful! They made the entire wedding planning process as stress free as possible, particularly for an out of state bride in law school.

    Booking our wedding at Clay Hill was the best decision we made when it came down to choosing a venue. I knew we were looking for something special for a venue that would fit in our price range and Clay Hill was recommended by my now mother in law, I took a look at the website and was hesitant at first but figured it would probably be worth looking and they seemed to get great reviews. I knew right away I wanted to get married at Clay Hill Farm when we sat with Rachel. The property is gorgeous, a natural beauty that is tucked away a little on Clay Hill Farm Road and only minutes to the beach and marginal way. Our wedding was beautiful, intimate and Clay Hill gave us that cozy feeling. We checked out a gorgeous venue a couple days prior to going to Clay Hill and it just didn't compare! The service that Clay Hill offers is not something you will find at most venues, at least we didn't when we checked out several others. You can choose a package if you like, we got "The Fern" package which included the dj,cake,solo classical guitarist, food, etc. You can customize the package which was really awesome, it was totally the way to go. I never once felt overwhelmed when I sat down and spoke with Rachel and Jen, in fact they always put me back at ease especially towards the end when things were coming together. They really know their stuff and are true professionals. Also things to mention which I really appreciated was having service of the Valet parking for our guests, the service and professionalism of the staff, the food was so delicious and the presentation was beautiful, even adding a flower to each plate! I felt I was almost hand held through the entire process. They answered all my questions, especially when we were coordinating times with our photographer and the locations. Clay Hill is a special gem, what you get for what you are paying is incredible. Thank you Clay Hill for helping and hosting our gorgeous wedding, can't recommend you enough!

    Clay Hill Farm's reply:

    Jessica & Jacob- we loved every minute of your beautiful wedding!!! Thank you so much for the kind words and the honor of hosting such a gorgeous event. Your vintage details and creative touches were so unique and special- we were thrilled you chose Clay Hill Farm to showcase your vision! Wishing you a lifetime of health and happiness together. Thank you again- we can't wait to see you soon! Best,

    Andy and I cannot say enough about how amazing Jen, Rachel and the staff at Clay Hill are. From the food, to the ceremony, to the unbelievable service, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding. When I arrived several minutes late, I apologized and Jen was the calming voice that I needed and assured me that everything was amazing. We will recommend Clay Hill to any and all couples who ask! Thank you Clay Hill Farm for a wonderful day.

    We had our rehearsal dinner and drink/dessert reception at Clay Hill Farm. The food was delicious! Their back deck was perfect for our event. Everyone enjoyed the setting and the drinks and desserts. I had never eaten at Clay Hill Farm before then but I would definitely go back. I highly suggest having your rehearsal dinner that and utilizing the back deck.

    My husband and I chose Clay Hill Farm for the site of our rehearsal dinner and were not disappointed! The food was delicious, the grounds are adorable and the service was wonderful. They allowed us to set up a cigar bar for the men on the back deck (something I'm sure not every venue would allow) and our groomsmen loved it! My mother in law was the one who primarily worked with the staff but she has nothing but good things to say about them. In all, we are extremely pleased with our experience at Clay Hill Farm.

    We could not have picked a more perfect venue. Rachel and Jen were professional, friendly, and super helpful. The wedding package we got included everything and made planning so easy as well as very affordable. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food (which included a vegan option!). The beautiful surroundings and awesome Clay Hill staff helped make it a wonderful day!

    Words alone cannot express what a wonderful wedding day we had at Clay Hill Farm on Sunday, October 11, 2015. It was beautiful fall weather and a phenomenal day with Clay Hill Farm as the perfect hosts. The advice given by Jenn and Rachel was such great help in planning this day. They are seasoned professionals whose guidance through many, many decisions was spot on. The recommendation and coordination of the exceptional guitarist (Pat Keane), DJ (Scott Langlois) and photographer (Deb Cram) made for very convenient planning and whose talents made for a very festive and memorable day. It was a perfect day and we would not have changed any of it! Our thanks to Jenn, Rachel and the staff at Clay Hill Farm; it was a day that we will never forget!
