Autumn Lane Estate Reviews

Our entire experience with Autumn Lane was great from start to finish. Not only is the property insanely beautiful, but the accommodations are outstanding and the experience the owners and staff created for us and our wedding guests was unforgettable. Mackenzie and Dan know how to help you throw the best party of your life. The on site staff who worked with us were all amazingly helpful and kind - we could not be more grateful to have worked with them. We can’t recommend Autumn Lane enough to couples looking to have their dream wedding on Sebago Lake.

Autumn Lane is what wedding dreams are made of! The laidback luxury vibe is exactly what we wanted in a venue. We were considering eloping in Hawaii but also wanted family to join us for our big day. The compromise was an intimate weekday wedding on the shores of our favorite lake and Autumn Lane helped us make that happen.

We were able to configure farm tables in the barn for dinner to seat 40 people, with enough space for dancing too! The Pig Kahuna catered with an amazing pig roast and my dream wedding cake was brought to life by Baked With Love. The Nest (Autumn lane’s cafe/bar) provided delicious cocktails.

It was an absolutely perfect day - even though 2023 was full of rainy days, we were blessed with perfect weather. Fantastic opportunity to have photos taken right on the beach and enjoy stunning scenery all around! We ended the night the only way deemed acceptable in an area full of campgrounds - with a campfire!

The social media reel created by venue staff less than 24 hours after our wedding was incredible. We couldn't stop watching it! An added benefit that was priceless.

Mackenzie, Dan, and the rest of the Autumn Lane team were wonderful to work with and very accommodating with our 4-month turnaround. Only wish we could do it all over again!

Our wedding at Autumn Lane Estate was everything we imagined and more. The entire weekend we felt like we were in our own little piece of paradise. The on site accommodations allowed us to have our closet friends and family with us all weekend. Every single staff member we interacted with all weekend was incredible and the owners are so communicative throughout the entire planning process. You can tell they really care about each couple they host and want to ensure their wedding weekend is so special. If you’re looking for a perfect venue, look no further than Autumn Lane Estate.

Autumn Lane was the perfect venue for our fairy tale wedding. We booked Autumn Lane 2 years in advance and it was incredible watching all the positive changes Mackenzie and Dan made to the place. It was definitely worth the wait! They hired a fantastic staff to help facilitate everything for the weekend and have an unbelievable social media team. The venue is beautiful and has so many different areas that we utilized to showcase its wonder. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful Maine lake wedding!

We got married here this last June and cannot recommend this venue highly enough to others. The staff at Autumn Lane were amazing and have thought of every detail to make your wedding weekend perfect. Mackenzie & Dan have put so much money and time back into the property that every time we went for a visit, we were surprised with new additions and updates. The weather on our weekend wasn't the most ideal but the staff there went above and beyond to ensure that everything still went smoothly. As a result, we ended up having our ceremony in the barn and it was really cozy and lovely!

My husband and I had the most unforgettable wedding at Autumn Lane Estate in June 2023. Huge thanks to owners Mackenzie & Dan for making us feel at home. The lakeside charm, unique resort area, and versatile barn created an enchanting setting. The grounds and Grove provided an ideal ceremony backdrop, while onsite lodging and the exceptional team's hospitality made every moment memorable. For spring/summer weddings, the resort area gives off a tropical getaway vibe, perfect for our welcome party and post-wedding brunch. Guests loved the trendy bungalows and chic cafe/bar. We can't recommend this venue enough; if we could, we'd say "I do" there again and again. Kudos to everyone at Autumn Lane for orchestrating our perfect day!

Our wedding at Autumn Lane Estates was everything we could've imagined and more. The onsite lodging, the hospitality of the staff and vendors, and the proximity of how close everything was at the venue made for a timeless and memorable Wedding Weekend. We received many compliments from family and friends on how this was the best venue/wedding they've ever been to. It was intimate and everyone loved the uniqueness of the barn, cabins and houses.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Dan, Mackenzie, and the entire Autumn Lane staff! They made our wedding weekend run so smoothly and were always there if we need anything throughout the weekend. Autumn Lane Estate was truly the venue of our dreams. With the lake front access, the new addition of cabins and the Nest on property in the resort space, there isn’t anything this venue is missing. We spent an amazing long weekend celebrating with our friends and family and truly could not have asked for a more perfect weekend. The “weekend wedding” made it possible to really spend time with all of our guests and made it so that on our wedding day we didn’t feel rushed trying to make sure we saw every person. Everyone who attended raved about how fantastic the wedding and venue was! We wish we could do it all again!

Autumn Lane was everything my husband and I dreamed of for our perfect wedding venue. A friend had shared their instagram with me when I mentioned we wanted a full weekend wedding and we immediately got in touch with Mackenzie and Dan to set up an information call and a visit to the property. It was like talking with lifelong friends - they are the most kind humans ever! When we arrived to the property for our tour, we couldn't believe that it was actually possible to be more spectacular in person than it already looked in images. They have truly created a masterpiece for a wedding venue. Everything detail was so thoughtfully planned out from the couples cottage where the girls got ready, the amenities in the estate house where our parents stayed and the guys got ready, to the reception trio of the barn, patio and yard (complete with a waterfall that has changing colored lights!). Just when we thought it couldn't get any better, they told us that they were adding the cabin space up on the hill and showed us a picture of the blueprint. We trusted them and by the time our wedding came, this space turned out to be the highlight of our wedding. Our guests LOVED their cabins which made them feel like they were glamping on Sebago Lake. The naturally filtering pool with waterfalls and tadpoles was a favorite spot for many to hang out - we even had our rehearsal dinner up on the deck by the pool which gave everyone a perfect view of the property below where we would be celebrating our big day. In addition, our guests still talk about how much they loved having access to the lake with a nice sandy beach and views that went on forever!

It was evident that Mackenzie and Dan loved designing and adding each detail to the property. When we were booking, we were processing the expense of renting a full property for multiple days, but it ended up being worth every penny. Dan and Mackenzie made it clear we were working with humans and that they would be available every step of the way to help us navigate the wedding process from recommending other vendors (video, coordinator, etc), to working behind the scenes all weekend long.

Throughout our big weekend, Mackenzie, Dan and the entire staff at ALE (shoutout to Sarah & Matt!) were absolute rockstars and made us feel like we were the most important wedding to ever set foot on the property (keep in mind this property was built for their own wedding!). The entirety of the process from date of booking to the moment we packed up and said our goodbyes at the end of our wedding, it felt like we were working with friends. They were so accommodating and made us feel so at ease. They entertained all of our crazy ideas including letting me jump off the dock in my wedding dress! The whole weekend felt like a vacation away with a sprinkle of wedding for all of our guests. Dan & Mackenzie are the ultimate wedding venue dream team and I will HIGHLY recommend ALE to everyone searching for the perfect place to say "I do"!!!

It is really quite lovely when something exceeds your expectations. We looked at only one venue..and after seeing Autumn Lane and all it had to offer..there was no need to look anywhere else. If you are looking for elegance in a refined way…you need not look any further. Most of our guests stayed on the campus for the weekend and we had our rehearsal dinner, wedding and Sunday brunch there. The folks at Autumn Lane are efficient,tireless, knowledgeable and just plain fun. Any concern was handled immediately and they were present the entire weekend. Simply put…they made my daughter’s dreams come true. That in itself is priceless. Five stars is not enough for these folks. Bravo. Well done.

"Pure Perfection! Our wedding at Autumn Lane was truly the most incredible weekend and will remain a very special place to us throughout the rest of our lives. Autumn Lane is an absolutely stunning property. The owners, Mackenzie & Dan, have created the most magical place for couples to say ‘I do’. The tree lined driveway leads you to the beautiful modern barn which offers rustic elegance and is the heart of the venue. You can truly create the wedding of your dreams here and the owner, Mackenzie, is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is so responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process offering her own advice and expertise. She goes above and beyond to work with you on making your wedding weekend dreams come true. Her husband, Dan, is very passionate about growing and expanding the property. His commitment to creating the most spectacular place for couples to get married is what makes Autumn Lane stand out from the rest. These two truly care about their couples and want each and every one of them to have the most amazing and memorable time. Not only are they incredibly responsive in the months and days leading up to your wedding, their presence the weekend of your wedding speaks volumes to their commitment and true passion for what they are doing. From waking up in the couple's cottage to stunning views of Lake Sebago, to being able to have our dogs on property with us, to the amazing staff that helped coordinate the weekend’s events, Autumn Lane is remarkable in every way. Our guests have consistently told us that our wedding at Autumn Lane was one of the most beautiful events they have ever attended. Almost everyone has approached us commenting on the staff, as well as the beauty and uniqueness of the venue. Our family and friends who stayed on site loved the cottage accommodations. Many of them added an extra night to enjoy the property for longer! The amenities are outstanding. When I say Mackenzie has thought of everything, she has thought of EVERYTHING! From the giant floor length mirror in the couple’s cottage to the light up mirror in the bathroom, to the hair and makeup bar, Autumn Lane does not disappoint! Everything is modern and fresh and impeccably maintained. We were greeted with a lovely hand written card and bottle of champagne to start off our weekend such a simple, yet heartfelt welcoming. The thoughtfulness into every single detail is what makes this venue stand above the rest. The team of vendors, many of whom came recommended by Mackenzie, made our wedding run so smoothly. All of our vendors raved about Autumn Lane and were so excited when we booked them that they would get to return to the property. Hearing consistent, positive feedback from other professionals in the wedding industry speaks volumes about the success of Autumn Lane. Dan and Mackenzie have earned the respect and confidence from so many wonderful vendors in the mid coast and southern Maine wedding industry. It goes without saying that Dan & Mackenzie have invested so much time and hard work into this property and it really shows. This venue is an absolute dream for any couple! "

Everything was perfect. I couldn’t have had a better experience. For everyone involved they did their absolute best To make sure everything is perfect.

Autumn Lane was our wedding venue this past October, and we’re so glad we chose it! The venue has so much to offer but is also a blank slate to fit any vision. All our guests loved the venue and the views of the property. Some of our guests stayed in the cabins, and it was great to have them so close by to hang out or lend a hand. Mackenzie & Dan are truly some of the best people! They were very responsive to all our emails and questions from the first tour to the end of our wedding day. We’re very happy to have spent our wedding weekend at Autumn Lane and can’t recommend it enough!

Due to covid-19 my husband and I decided to postpone our wedding from 2020 to 2021. We wanted everyone to have the chance to get vaccinated before coming to our wedding. Dan and Mackenzie were able to work with us to move our wedding date. They answered every question promptly and checked in with us from time to time. Originally we had planned to get married outside, but it had started to rain that day. Decorations were quickly moved inside the barn and it was breathtaking. My lanterns lined the aisle and it looked so magical! Sarah helped out my day of coordinator and made things run smoothly behind the scenes. The Estate house was fantastic for my family to stay in and our hair and makeup team was appreciative of the spacious getting ready area in the bridal cottage. We had a tent set up for dinner right behind the barn and the barn was cleared for dancing during dinner time. Somehow, everything ran exactly on time. I am normally a very anxious person, but to my surprise I only felt calm and blissful all day. Molly, the social media coordinator for the venue was even kind enough to send us copies of the photos she took. I have posted them on this review. Overall, we had a blast and our guests kept saying that our wedding was a ton of fun. I couldn't recommend Autumn Lane Estates enough!

I had my wedding at Autumn Lane Estates in September of 2021. All of the communication leading up to the weekend was incredible and Mackenzie and Dan were so thoughtful and helpful. The biggest reason we picked the venue was to have a place to have every part of the wedding in the same location and to be able to house the wedding party all on site. The big and little thoughts that are spread throughout the entire venue do not go unnoticed. The entire team made our wedding weekend an absolute dream and I am so incredibly thankful for them all!

The absolute best place to get married and the absolute best people to have with you on your special day. They are so attentive and supportive of everything down to the smallest details. We could not have asked for a better day!!

Our wedding at Autumn Lane Estate was an absolute dream! The whole weekend was perfect for our wedding party to stay right on site. The owners have put so much thought into the entire venue, from the couples cottage for getting ready, the estate house had everything we need, the patio with beautiful string lights and fire pit, to the gorgeous barn perfect for dancing the night away. The owners and their team were so helpful and supportive during the whole planning process and the wedding weekend. My husband and I, along with our guest all can agree that it was the best wedding we've all been to!

They offered advice and suggestions that truly helped make our special day perfect. Dan and his crew were meticulous with the grounds and set-up, and literally anything we needed. Mackenzie always had a smile on her face and truly cared about our entire experience. Be Married at Autumn Lane!

Autumn Lane Estate is absolutely incredible. I can't say enough good things about our experience. Mackenzie and Dan are so helpful, laid back, and were so sweet and kind throughout our planning process. The venue is gorgeous and they consistently put a ton of work into it. Every single thing went smoothly from the second we got there and I was just in awe at how well our weekend went. Our friends and family were equally taken aback by how beautiful the property was and how lovely the day was. The property served so many different purposes for us over the course of the weekend and ultimately felt like we got way more than a singular event out of it. We swam in the lake, had friends over for drinks and a hot tub, played with our dog in the field, hosted a bbq style brunch the morning after, enjoyed alone time in the couples cottage, had an awesome day getting ready with our parties onsite, and of course had the most beautiful wedding. It was a weekend I'll never forget in the very best way. Can't recommend enough!!

When we first started looking for a venue to get married at we knew we wanted to have the ceremony outdoors. When we visited the Autumn Lane Estate we knew the moment we arrived that it was where we wanted to get married. From the beautiful barn with large patio and yard space with a waterfall feature to all the on site amenities it was perfect. From the time we signed up to our actual ceremony (2.5 years, due to COVID postponement) the owners Dan & Mackenzie made so many amazing improvements. Their vision to create this amazing venue is unbelievable. This alone would make us recommend this venue for any couple looking to get married but it was their help and attention to detail before and the day of the wedding that we will always be most thankful for. Due to COVID we had to postpone the wedding from 2020 to 2021. They worked with us to come up with a date and when unforeseen circumstances left us without a day of coordinator they graciously stepped up and helped the day of the ceremony to make sure everything ran smoothly.
And if you plan to stay on site for the wedding the house, bridal suite and cottages are all beautiful with all the amenities needed.
I can't imagine getting married anywhere else. It was such an amazing experience that we will always cherish. Thank you Dan & Mackenzie for creating such an amazing backdrop.

Having our wedding at the Autumn Lane Estate was by far the most amazing experience we could have asked for. We had our families stay onsite for the weekend to make a mini vacation out of our special weekend. Beautiful view and scenery of Sebago Lake, the most personable & genuine owners (Dan & Mackenzie Bowe) always willing to go the extra mile, and the perfect canvas to allow your wedding vision to come to life. We would not have wanted to commit to a lifetime of love and happiness anywhere else!

Not only is the venue beautiful but Mackenzie and Dan are amazing people who are amazing to work with! We couldn’t be happier with the venue!

The venue is stunning! And Autumn Lane made everything SO easy for us! They are kind, helpful, caring + truly passionate about what they do! Our big day could not have been more magical or run more smoothly! Thank you for making every detail a dream! We cannot recommend them enough!

I can’t say enough amazing things about The Barn at Autumn Lane. Dan and Mackenzie truly put their heart and soul into making this place an absolute dream. From the couples cottage and estate house, to the waterfall and cafe lights on the patio... everything detail is covered! Not only have they created the most perfect venue, but Dan and Mackenzie were so great to deal with leading up to the wedding. They will really go above and beyond to make your big day everything you dreamed of and more!

My daughter got married at The Barn at Autumn Lane In September and it was a perfect day. The owners, Dan and Mackenzie were so easy to work with. They were very accommodating. Just really nice people.
All of our guest were blown away by this venue. Just driving by doesn’t do it justice. The views of Sebago Lake are breathtaking. They left no detail out when planning this venue! Highly recommend!!!!!
