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 recently celebrated our wedding at the 1774 Inn, and it was everything we were looking for in a venue. We wanted a beautiful rustic barn close to the ocean, with accommodations that would allow many of our guests to stay on-site, and the 1774 Inn delivered on all fronts. The inn offers numerous guest rooms that are both beautiful and comfortable. The air conditioning was especially appreciated during our hot wedding weekend! We also loved the large communal kitchen and refrigerator, which made it easy to store food and gather together throughout the weekend. There is also a grill on-site, which allowed us to host a casual BBQ one evening. We were also able to rent the Coastal Farmhouse n...

We booked the Inn and the Farmhouse for a nonprofit donor event, and honestly this was one of the most special events I’ve ever been part of organizing. The property is stunning, the rooms are beautiful and comfortable, the light on the river in the evenings is magical, and there are so many great spaces all throughout for indoor and outdoor gatherings. Watching the sunrises, grilling clams on the outdoor grill, listening to the birds by the river… the space is just magic! Marianne and Sarah were so kind and welcoming to our group. Our guests loved the experience and felt so well taken care of. Planning the event with Marianne was also such a treat. She’s got amazing positive energy and she ...

We had our wedding weekend at the 1774 Inn, and it exceeded our expectations in every way! Having the exclusive use of the property for four days completely transformed our experience and instead of a single rushed event, it felt like a true gathering for our families and friends. We shared quiet mornings, long meals, and time exploring local spots, moments that became just as meaningful as the wedding itself. The team at the Inn, along with their trusted local vendors, were flexible, responsive, and genuinely invested in making the weekend work for us and our guests from the very beginning. From adjusting plans to answering questions along the way, we always felt supported. On the morning ...

My wife and I came across The 1774 Inn during our wedding venue search online, and just from the photos and reviews we quickly knew this was the place for us. It checked all the boxes, cost, location, views, property, lodging, and ease of communication working with a wonderful team. We had a small wedding of 35 people and booked the Inn for our family to enjoy over three nights. We worked with Marianne who was invaluable throughout our coordination and planning and on the wedding day itself, and Lana who pulled off an incredible rehearsal dinner for us and helped throughout the weekend. We couldn’t be happier with where we got married and look forward to many future visits.

As a destination wedding photographer, I absolutely love photographing weddings at The 1774 Inn in Maine. The property perfectly combines coastal elegance with historic New England charm. With sweeping views, a beautifully restored inn, and a sailcloth tent surrounded by open fields, it’s an incredibly romantic setting for timeless wedding photography. Every detail is thought of, from the light-filled getting-ready rooms to sunset portraits on the dock it all feels effortless and refined. The 1774 Inn offers that rare mix of warmth, intimacy, and elevated style that makes each wedding here unforgettable. — Julia Starkey, Julia Rebecca Photography
