FULL Guide to The Best Maine Rustic Wedding Venues

If you ask a bride or groom-to-be what their perfect rustic wedding would be, you’ll get many different scenarios. To some, a rustic wedding means hosting a ceremony in the rolling countryside and a reception in an old wood barn.

Or, this type of wedding could be a ceremony in Maine’s woods at the edge of a scenic lake or at the top of a ski mountain. To others, a wedding on the coast with an idyllic beach and an ocean backdrop makes for the perfect rustic scenery. On the other hand, maybe you are looking for a destination wedding with a rustic atmosphere.

No matter what a rustic wedding means to you, most would agree that it not only celebrates the beauty of two people in love but also the beauty of nature. Maine has the rustic nature that you desire for your wedding — from a rugged coastline to serene sandy beaches, beautiful lakes and mountains, and even fields in the countryside where the wildflowers provide the decor.

About Rustic Wedding Venues in Maine

Maine appeals to wedding couple’s tastes with a variety of outdoor settings. While summer weddings at a luxury resort hotel are always a popular choice, Maine is famed for its pastoral countryside, forested wilderness, and coastal atmosphere in spring and fall as well — all of these are picture-perfect places for a rustic wedding no matter the season.

A barn wedding with a big dance floor and grand wooden beams decorated with tiny white lights is magical — country chic in Maine. A casual beach wedding followed by a lobster bake and barbecue is also very special and uniquely Maine. And, getting married at a lakeside cabin or campground can prove rustic without roughing it.

The casual theme of a rustic wedding sets the tone that your wedding day isn’t about fanfare or fancy cake toppers. Instead, your love and your love of nature are the centerpiece. In Maine, the only limit to your rustic wedding is your imagination. The day belongs to you and your partner to craft into anything you wish it to be.
