Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a venue partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

We could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding. We got married at Cunningham Farm a few weeks ago, and loved everything about the process of working with Matt and Abby! The venue is absolutely beautiful. The setting was absolutely beautiful, creating the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and reception, and our guests are still talking about how stunning everything was. What truly made the experience exceptional was working with the Cunningham farm team! From day 1 they were so kind, organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day successful. On the day of the wedding, despite last minute changes to the ceremony due to the weather, Matt was so helpful an...

Our wedding was absolutely perfect at Cunningham Farm. Every moment felt like a dream. Matt and Abby's property is just magical, and they were so helpful through everything. The fact that you get the venue the entire weekend was a huge deciding factor for us. Setting up the venue Friday with our families and packing everything up when the weekend was over Sunday were some of our favorite memories. We made us of all 3 barns at the barns at the property, and the getting ready suite was perfect. I cannot say enough good things about this venue. Thank you to Matt & Abby for coming into our lives and making our wedding more than we ever dreamed it could be.

Absolutely impressed by this outstanding venue. The outdoor setting is spectacular! The barn is both magical And authentic; an 1820 historical barn, coupled with modern bathrooms and bar in the 2020 addition. Matt, the owner was attentive and helpful and made sure my cousin/the bride and bridal party had everything we needed. The bridal suite is just a perfect space for the bridal party to get ready. The location is an idyllic part of New Gloucester and it just so happens to be about 2 miles from Pineland market if you get hungry! Cunningham Farm should absolutely be on your list for your important day, it is a 10 out of 10!!!

I had my wedding June 11, 2022 and could not have asked for a more amazing venue. It is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS and naturally beautiful. Absolutely stunning and unique. My guests can't stop talking about how special the wedding venue was and were constantly wowed by the authentic Maine forest surrounding. The new owners, Matt and Abby, were incredibly responsive, helpful, and flexible when we needed help. We had catered food for the bridal suite the morning of but they forgot to include silverware! Matt ran out personally and got us some. They made the wedding venue feel really personal for the day, not just another hotel ballroom. The barns offer unique ways to make your wedding truly yours. We ...

We got married at Cunningham Farm in August and had the perfect wedding weekend. Cunningham was the first of many venues we looked at, yet we continued to come back to it. The venue was able to accommodate our 170-guest wedding with no problem. We were in awe of the grounds, the barns, and the endless possibilities to create the space into what we wanted for our wedding day. We didn't need to bring in a tent (a big draw) and still had a backup rain plan if needed. What kept us coming back to Cunningham was also Matt and Abby. We can't say enough good things about them (and neither can our families!). They were responsive, flexible, and beyond helpful with answering my many random and oddly ...
