Mountain Star Estate Reviews

I can't overstate the quality of the experience we had with MSE. We met with Stacey and Angela in August of 2017 when we first scheduled a last minute wedding for my daughter and her fiance. They were thoughtful and helpful, tending carefully to the details that we inexperienced patrons desperately needed. They easily accommodated the short notice, and took this task and worry away from us!
Just weeks before the scheduled event was supposed to go, we determined that we would not be able to pull all the details together in time, so wisely decided to reschedule for the fall of 2018. They fully supported our decision without hesitation. This was so appreciated at this challenging moment.
Now, with the blessed event behind us, I happily attest to the overall quality of the MSE wedding experience. The farmhouse accommodated our large family for pre-wedding festivities, easily making the friend and family dinner one that gave a true "at home" family event, as well as cozy inn overnight accommodations for all. Our guests spent the weekend reveling in the beauty and serenity of the vistas afforded by the MSE, definitely providing a needed measure of comfort as we readied for the event.
We are forever grateful to the folks at MSE for being an intricate, incredible part of our wedding journey. If you are looking for a a wedding event venue, in the Rangeley area, look no further!

In addition I need to tell that Angela's work with all details including the flower arrangements (which she took on without hesitation at the last minute:) was phenomenal. Both she and Stacey maintained continuous contact throughout this process, accommodating us at each turn. We always felt they had us. The wedding went off without a "hitch"...they were present to guide us through the hours leading up to the ceremony and beyond. We are forever grateful to the proprietors and memory makers of the MSE!

We loved the venue space and the bridal suite area. We loved the location and felt it was perfect for us. As Shane and Stacey keep expanding and finishing the venue, its only going to get better.

My husband and I loved working with Stacey and her team at Mountain Star Estate! When we first started thinking about our vision for our wedding, we imagined being surrounded by our friends and family for not only one night, but a weekend of celebration. Stacey helped shape our vision, guiding us throughout the entire process and bringing our dream to life in ways we never thought possible. Both Stacey and her staff not only took complete care of us, they made us part of their family- and even partied with us on the dance floor by the end of the night! I'm not sure that we could ever find the words to properly express our gratitude for absolutely everything. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Mountain Star Estate was a one stop shop for our wedding weekend! One of the best features about this venue is the package options that provide [everything] you need (on site housing, ceremony site, reception site, tables, chairs, linens, decorations, flatware, glasses, etc.). No need for countless rental agreements from different companies. The location/ambiance was PERFECT for my husband (from the mountains) and myself (from the ocean). Stacey and Adrian were very supportive and helpful throughout the wedding process.
We had potential for rain during the ceremony and there were contingency plans in place to hold the ceremony in the barn if needed. (Great piece of mind!) Luckily the sun held out and we were able to use the incredible ceremony site a short path walk up from the barn with the backdrop of Rangeley Lake below. The barn venue had plenty of space (comfortable/cosy in a good way) for just over 100 guests. I used local (Rangeley, ME) vendors for catering and flowers who work closely with MSE - another benefit.
Guest housing availability on site and very close by (within a mile) made this venue a great choice for us as everyone was traveling from out of state. I loved having the Honeymoon Suite to ourselves right next to the Farm House. We held our rehearsal dinner at the Farm House in a relaxed BBQ buffet that we brought in. Low-key and fun!
If you are looking for a rustic/barn venue that has an easygoing and elegant feel offering a phenomenal package - look no further. MSE is the best option out there - I know, I looked at every barn venue in the greater northeast and nothing compared.

What a beautiful place to hold a wedding, with a wonderful opportunity to feel 'ownership' and truly host your family and friends as if you were home. We booked the whole estate for 3 nights and had our bridal party and immediate families stay on-site. It felt like a Thanksgiving weekend, except it was our summer wedding! The farmhouse is perfect for doing your own rehearsal dinner and morning-after brunch to save on costs in an already expensive situation, and makes for a cozy atmosphere. The outdoor space provides a perfect landscape for socializing, playing, and enjoying the fresh mountain air of Rangeley. Kid and pet-friendly, plus breathtaking backdrops for photos (especially in lupine season!). The night sky is spectacular given limited ambient lighting and the fire pit lends an intimacy to the evenings. Beware any outdoor ceremony space comes with the risk of noise from neighbors and cars passing by (in our case a truck sitting somewhere not far off playing audible music during our vows, ha!). The reception Barn is a perfect canvas for making your personal Wedding vision come to life, and the owners are an incredibly talented and thoughtful couple of builders/designers who will make just about any vision come to fruition. Recommend to bring/hire a day-of coordinator to manage schedule and communication with vendors, bridal party, guests, etc., and to clarify what will incur additional expenses if budget is a concern. We had 100 guests very comfortably fit.
