Wedding Policies

Our policies relating to our venue and weddings.

Wedding Deposits

In order to book, we require a 50% deposit for the venue and the accommodation fees, along with a security deposit once the contract is signed.

Wedding Cancellations

If the wedding is cancelled 90 days prior to the wedding date, the host will forfeit the 50% initial deposit for the venue and 50% of the accommodation fees. In the event the host cancels the wedding for any reason inside 90 days prior to the wedding, the entire fee will be forfeited as liquidated damages for cancellation.

Rescheduled Weddings

In the event the host determines that a postponement of the wedding is in order, a rescheduling fee will be assessed. The couple also understands and agrees that it is their responsibility to work with the venue to find a mutually agreeable rescheduled date.

Wedding Property Damage

The couple must obtain, at their own expense, a Certificate of General Liability Insurance including Liquor Liability in the amount of $1,000,000 and provided within two weeks of signing the contract. In addition, a security deposit will be owed 90 days prior to the event date. The couple will be responsible for any damage caused on site.

Wedding Refunds

A refund of the security deposit will be issued within 10 days after the wedding.

Preferred Vendors

We have curated a preferred vendors list for you to use as a planning tool. It is not required that you book the preferred vendors but we do require approval of any vendors not on the list. All vendors must be licensed and insured. See Our Preferred Vendors

What does the event rental fee include?

There is a 50% deposit due upon booking with the balance due 180 days before your wedding. The rental fee includes use of the 12 acre property, which includes the barn, the deck, the adjacent lawn, the pasture overlooking the pond, and other areas of the property.

Are you dog friendly?

We are dog friendly and want our guests to enjoy the company of their well-behaved dog while on vacation! Not all of our rooms accommodate pets. The Polly, The Mittman, The Eleanor, The Roni, and The Mario are pet friendly rooms.

We need to do some work, do you have WiFi?

Yes, we do have WiFi, but due to being on an island in Maine, we often find that our WiFi signal doesn't come through all the time. We have added several Nodes to the inn to assist with WiFi. Most people are able to get work done while here.
