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.

My son and daughter-in-law were recently married here with 163 guests. Even on a rainy and chilly May day it was wonderful! It’s a venue that truly works in any weather! So beautiful and well laid out. Marianmade is just magical. And as a bonus the owners were so nice and flexible in working with us!

I've photographed two weddings at Marianmade Farm, and have been absolutely awed by the venue. The gardens were lush for both my June and August weddings, and there were an abundance of spots for portraits. I also appreciate the clear top tent along with the barn space- it's always nice to see a variety of covered locations in case of rain. If you're looking for a garden venue, Marianmade Farm must be checked out, it's such a special spot!

We couldnt have picked a more beautiful venue for our wedding in July of 2024. Marianmade was absolutely perfect and encompassed everything we love about MidCoast Maine, while also allowing us freedom with design and adding personality and detail to the day. John and the team at Marianmade were incredible to work with. All of our guests were amazed with the beauty of the property, from the lavender barn, waterfront ceremony site and the pristine landscaping. The cottage and gardens allowed for a beautiful space to get ready in the morning and have our portrait photos. I wish we could do it all again! John’s preferred vendor list was incredible (special shoutout to Wendy at Dragonfly Events a...

Marianmade Farm was a dream of a venue for our September wedding! The communication is great, and the team keeps the grounds looking gorgeous and the flowers vibrant, even into the fall. A few members of the wedding party stayed in the cottage and it was the perfect home base for the weekend. We hosted our Rehearsal Dinner, Welcome Party, and Wedding at Marianmade and between the outdoor ceremony space, cocktail hour on the patio, dinner in the tent, and dancing in the barn, there were so many beautiful spaces to make each part of the weekend unique. We would highly recommend Marianmade Farm to anyone looking for a venue in midcoast Maine!

As a wedding photographer, I love a venue that sparks the imagination and inspires creativity. That is Marianmade Farm 100%! The attention to detail that is put into the gardens there is beyond words incredible. And not just the gardens, but the flowers and vines perfectly placed to grow in just the right spots on the various buildings. It reminded me a lot of being in the English countryside, and the old stone cottages and barn really added to that. Of course, the lavender is heavenly too. This is a venue I could never tire of working at! Pure magic, like walking into a fairy tale!
