Best venue ever

My husband and I got married at Penobscot Bay Estate this past Labor Day weekend. We couldn’t have asked for a better day and venue. The property is gorgeous and has all the amenities you need. Emerald and Kurt were such a pleasure to work with and made sure the day operated as smooth as possible. If I could do it all over again, I would in a heart beat.

Breathtaking & Perfect

SPACIOUS BRIDAL SUITE, GORGEOUS CEREMONY, SUNNY COCKTAIL, SWEET OUTDOOR RECEPTION, BREATHTAKING VIEW, PERFECT HONEYMOON SUITE.

PBE made my dream wedding come true. I am from NYC and my husband is from Maine - we had a wacky mix of people from the neighborhood and people from away and PBE found a way to accommodate everyone and our every last wish. They were so considerate and careful with our children and our adults with accessibility needs.

They are organized, friendly, and openly communicate. They even provide checklists so that you can't miss a thing! If it is possible for Emerald and her team to make your dream happen, it will. I felt so loved and I was treated like a princess the whole day.

Emerald and the PBE team made the most important day of my life absolutely perfect. I 100% recommend this venue. Beyond breathtaking, amazing accommodations, and kindhearted staff...couldn't want anything more. On top of ALL of that, it is incredibly affordable for all that you get. I am so grateful that I chose PBE for my waterfront Maine wedding, look how GORGEOUS!

Penobscot bay Weddings review

We had the honor of being the first wedding at Penobscot Bay Weddings and Events. Emerald went above and beyond to help us bring all the dreams we had for our big day to life! Emerald is kind, enthusiastic, and motivated, when I say she was made for this, it is not an exaggeration. The love and passion she has for the venue and her vision will spill over into your event in the best way possible. The house and grounds are naturally beautiful, the Penobscot river the perfect backdrop, keep your fingers crossed for one of their famous sunsets! If you are looking for a unique and customizable space to host your next event, look no further!

Truly a dream wedding... the balcony was the best

The property is truly breathtaking, but just as importantly, the facility was perfect for the day to run smoothly.

Things felt secluded, but it's right on the edge of town, easy to get to, and so close to all major vendors in the Bangor region. Cars can drive everywhere on the property they need to go, making it easy to transport handicap guests and also do all vendor setup and tear down. With water, electricity, cell service in all the spots we needed it... it really is the oasis the pictures depict with the backbone of what a functioning venue needs to be.

One last thing, and perhaps the biggest thing... as a bride, having the balcony overlooking the property available to me as I got ready on the big day was truly magical. I was able to see my loved ones arrive and feel completely showered with love and natural beauty. Everyone who mattered to me was arriving to show their love and support and I had an eagle eye view of the day unfolding... I can't describe how powerful that was.

Beautiful location

I have attended many weddings, and this one was by far the most beautiful! It was amazing to have a secluded property for all of our friends to gather, and for our kids to safely play. It was particularly perfect because they had a separate place for the kids to go watch movies during the reception.

Amazing Venue In A Stunning Location

I cannot say enough great things about Penobscot Bay Weddings and Events! I hosted my mother's 70th birthday party at their venue and everything was picture perfect. The owner/host was incredibly helpful with all of the details of the day and the party tent was perfectly equipped for dining and dancing and even has a great bar setup against the backdrop of the gorgeous Penobscot River. All of our guests were astounded at the surroundings - field of wildflowers, a beautiful Maine farmhouse, and, of course, the waterfront with its amazingly blue water and boats passing by. I would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a true Maine wedding or event!

Unforgettable Maine venue!

I attended a wedding here and had a wonderful time. It was easy to find, convenient parking right on site, the ceremony was on the water and felt very private, and the reception was so much fun!

The house was available for the bridal party. The view of the Penobscot River is amazing. Your photos will not disappoint. I highly recommend Penobscot Bay Weddings to anyone looking for an unforgettable event.

A dream to photograph

I shot a wedding here a few years ago and am so excited this is now a venue other couples can book! From the well-appointed house to multiple spots for first look, couples shots, and family formals, to ceremony and reception spots, every corner has a gorgeous view. Every detail is thought through, this is the perfect spot to get married on Penobscot Bay!

Nina, thank you so much for your wonderful review! You are such a wonderful photographer, and you were such a pleasure to work with. Beyond your stunning work, I've never seen anyone organize and execute family formals as well as you! What a great day!

Incredible venue, attentive business owner

I attended a wedding at this venue and it really is the most beautiful spot for a ceremony at waters edge, a reception on the hill overlooking the bay or any special celebration! You won’t find a more caring, conscientious family to work with. If your event is anything like the one I attended, I envision an experience you can make your own using a setting that is truly magical.
