We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience working with Essie and Mike! They are absolutely wonderful people, who work with you from even before you book to help make your dream wedding come to life. They are responsive and supportive, and they go above and beyond to support couples during every stage of wedding planning. In addition to working with an incredibly kind team, our favorite part of having our wedding at the Barn at Flanagan Farm was that we could make it ours. Each space (ceremony grove, small barn, big barn, farmhouse, fire pit) can be designed to match your vision, and the possibilities are endless! When my husband and I walked onto the property for our wedding weekend it genuinely felt like home to us, and there is no better feeling for the most special day of your lives. The property is timeless and naturally gorgeous, and our guests are still talking about how it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to over 6 months later! We are so thrilled to be part of the family at the Barn at Flanagan Farm, and feel so lucky that our wedding venue is a place you can return to for dinner and property events in the future. I promise you that booking one of the barns will be the best wedding decision you make!!

I attended one of the events that they hosted (not a wedding, but they have a bunch of different types of events come through regularly), and I LOVED the spot! My fiancé & I are debating having our 2025 wedding reception here next year. We heard nothing but great things about the owners, and the staff working the event seemed to be having a blast. We loved that it's so different from your typical stuffy, overly-elegant wedding venue. This is a photo studio that is run by 2 photographers, and the vibe feels more NYC than Maine. Concrete floors with high ceilings, white walls, in the brewery district of Portland.

I got married at the Board Landing Farm, about a year ago. I still can't believe how picture perfect it turned out. My wife grew up in Maine and we couldn't have a asked for a better location and venue to exchange our vows and share it with our closest friends and family. Right from the very beginning, BLF was easy to work with, and given it's easy location, most of our vendors had either experience or familiarity with the venue. Tents were set up 2 days prior to the wedding day, florist decorated the day of, and the catering had their own access way to be out of the way for the guests. Best part was the landscape setting for the photographers to work their magic - the waterfall, the tidal river, the pier, the large glacial rock, the expansive but unique lawn, and the rustic farmhouse - all added to the magic. In the end, me and wife made some beautiful memories that will stay with us forever. If you're looking to get married anywhere in Maine, it is hard to beat BLF as a wedding venue.
