Question 5

When should I book?

Accepted Answer

Peak Season (May - October): This is prime wedding season in Maine, with ideal weather for outdoor ceremonies and highest demand for dates. We recommend booking as soon as possible—our summer calendar often fills completely by the end of May, with many clients securing their dates five months or more in advance. Off-Season (November - April): The off-season offers greater flexibility and reduced minimums. Winter events can usually be booked up to 6 weeks prior to your event date, depending on menu complexity and services needed. It's still advisable to book as soon as you know your dates.
