The 1774 Inn

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

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 of the wedding, when you would expect to feel busy or rushed, we found ourselves relaxed, iced coffee in hand on the porch, knowing everything was coming together. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that feels personal, unhurried, and deeply special, you’ve found the right place!

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.

There is a certain understated and ineffable quality to the 1774 Inn that created the most enchanting experience for our four day wedding sojourn. A well-stocked kitchen, family rooms, and a separate loft perfect for families with kids. Marianne was the so competent and cheerful and capably dealt with the high maintenance members of my family (sisters-in-law). No more daughters to marry off. Will have to think of another reason to come back.

My fiancé and I were searching for wedding venues when I came across the 1774 Inn on social media. We scheduled a tour and immediately fell in love with it. Unfortunately, we let life get in the way and didn’t secure a weekend in 2026, but I have to say—everything about this place and their team is magical. From the very beginning, Marianne was organized, communicative, welcoming, and truly down-to-earth. She patiently answered my endless emails and texts throughout the summer, always responding promptly and with such enthusiasm. The 1774 Inn itself is breathtaking—the grounds, the rooms, the view. Everything is simply unreal!
