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’ve had the pleasure of working with Grace on the Lake and Rich many times, and it’s always such a wonderful experience! 🙌 Rich is an absolute professional, warm, organized, and always dedicated to creating a smooth, joyful experience for every couple. You can truly feel the care he puts into every detail of the venue and each event. The venue itself is breathtaking, from the beautiful barn to the ceremony space right by the water, every corner feels magical. The staff is amazing too, friendly, reliable, and a dream to collaborate with. Each time we’re there, everything runs seamlessly, allowing couples to simply relax and enjoy the moment. Grace on the Lake is truly a gem of a venue ...

I had the pleasure of attending an event at Grace on the Lake and it did not disappoint. My family of 3 stayed in one of the cabins on site and it was perfect! We had plenty of room and loved having some personal space to just unwind with a cup of coffee in the morning. Can we just talk about how beautiful the property is, watching the sunset over the lake each night was one of my favorite parts of the day. I would love another opportunity to come back to grace, it was so relaxing, and the owners are wonderful to work with.

Man, can’t say enough good things about Grace! As a wedding DJ myself, the wedding I DJ’d here on September 21st was one I had circled on the calendar. I knew we had an amazing group, but I was also so stoked to see the beauty of Grace in person. It DID NOT disappoint. The waterfront ceremony, on site lodging, beautiful views for cocktail hour and the amazing barn for dinner and dancing. Just an incredible space for a wedding, and the staff and owner were an absolute joy to work with. If you’re looking for an oasis and a one of the best venues Maine has to offer for your wedding, look no further. Cannot wait til I’m back DJing another wedding at Grace🙌🏽

We could not have imagined our wedding anywhere other than Grace on the Lake. It was the most beautiful location for our wedding. The views of the lake from the ceremony site are breathtaking. The barn easily accommodate our wedding and provided a comfortable and cool location for the reception. The cherry on top was being able to stay in the cabins on the property with our wedding party and close family. Working with Rich and the Grace team was always effortless. They were always ready and willing to answer any questions and were very accommodating to our requests. You can tell they want your day to be perfect which meant a lot. We made countless cherished memories during our weekend fill...

I couldn't have imagined my wedding weekend anywhere but here. The professionalism from the owners made our weekend run so smooth. The venue is amazing, the newly built barn is beyond beautiful and it was perfect for my rustic but modern style barn wedding. The ceremony was perfect, set up at the waterside, I have the most breathtaking photos from the ceremony and after pictures right on the lake. The use of the golf carts provided by the owners for getting around the site was super helpful and so much fun. The cabins are super cute for the guests to stay in. The bridal suite and groom suite were perfect. The small barn for the rehearsal dinner was super useful so we could set up the barn fo...
