When we first came to check it out, my wife's face lit up so bright I knew it was the place for us! You get an amazing old barn and an expansive outdoor area with breathtaking views! As well as a farmhouse that you can rent and sleep 16 people to give lodging for family and friends. The staff especially our contact/planner and day of coordinator was Sarah who made sure everything went perfectly! If you are looking for a barn venue for your wedding or other event in Southern Maine then definitely check this place out. It was truly the picture perfect venue and we could have not asked for a more special and perfect day to celebrate our love! Thanks to Sarah and all the staff and owners for all they did!

We stayed here with extended family while attending a wedding at a different location in the area…read more The house was wonderful. Big enough that everyone could stay together but still have their own space. The kitchen is large and very well equipped. We used the pool everyday and it was sparkling clean. There are horses and goats on the property which is a lot of fun especially because we are from an urban area. The landscape is truly gorgeous. If looking for a place to stay in the area I would highly recommend. The owner is very responsive even helped us get some items we left behind!

I initially called Mainely Events to see if they had or could recommend a balloon installer for a shower that I was throwing. After briefly talking with Liz, I ended up hiring them to execute and rent all the decor for the event. Liz was outstanding, she listened to my initial thoughts on what I envisioned and ran with it to create the most magical day for my friend's bridal shower! The linens, balloons, and party decor were executed flawlessly! I cannot praise her team enough. The mother-of-the-bride and bride were so impressed! Thank you again Liz for all of your help!

STOP LOOKING FOR A WEDDING CATERER AND HIRE BREAD + BUTTER!!! Everything was simply amazing!…read moreLiterally everyone commented on how wonderful the food was, both the quality and the selection. There were options for everyone that were both delicious and unique. The biscuit board option was great and a nice touch for my southern family. The chicken and short rib options were fall-apart-in-your-mouth. The falafel vegetarian option -- AMAZING! In addition to the catering itself, B+B goes above and beyond with the services they include. As we got closer to the event and I was trying to check things off of my list, I began to realize that all of the small things I was stressing over, B+B was already planning to take care of them - serving options, signs for food, transporting chairs/gift table from ceremony to reception, packing up at the end of the night. They made our lives so much easier. AND I can't say enough about the day-of coordinator (Erin) and catering coordinator (Kelly). LIFE SAVERS!! They went far beyond what I would have expected for these roles. In the months leading up to our wedding, they helped us negotiate contracts, put out fires before I even knew they were happening, let me vent, and assured me everything was taken care of (and it was). Seriously can't imagine what our event would have been like without B+B and their crew!

Out of all the vendors my wife and I worked with in planning our wedding weekend, Shannon and the…read morestaff at the Barn were BY FAR the best. We had our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at the barn the night before our wedding. Being from California, we wanted to have an "Aloha" theme to keep the vibe casual. Shannon worked closely with us to customize a menu and help us with decorations. She was so supportive and blew our minds with the creativity in the menu and drink options. She also partnered with us to work within our budget. Since we had to plan our wedding from across the country, communication with a lot of our vendors proved to be very tough. But NOT Shannon. She was quick to reply to all of our emails, and always put us in the best mood. In such a stressful process, we could always rely on Shannon and staff to make us feel at ease. And the food, WOW. Our 40 guests for dinner were raving over how amazing everything was. And after the dinner, we opened up the barn for about 100 people to come in for the "Welcome Party." At the welcome party, Shannon worked with us to customize cocktails and create a "California" themed taco station. Every single detail was delectable. Would highly recommend to anyone planning an event in Kennebunk/Kennebunkport. Would give more than 5 stars if we could. Can't wait to come back!

My employer uses Great Circle very often at work for breakfast and lunches…read more I was very excited when my daughter told us they were one of the preferred catering companies that were authorized at her wedding venue and encouraged them to use Great Circle. Great Circle did not disappoint and treated us to simply amazing food and hospitality. The staff was extremely professional and almost invisible(in a good way) during the reception on September 1st at the Portsmouth Elks Club. We enjoyed a buffet with Braised Beef Short Ribs, Chicken Bellagio, Rice Pilaf, Seasonal Vegetables. For appetizers we enjoyed charcuterie platters.

All of our friends and family from all over the country couldn't stop raving about the food, and their new Tap Truck was a hit serving as both a source of ice cold draft beer and a conversation piece. As expected, the raw bar was top notch, and the tenderloin popovers, cheddar bites, bacon wrapped scallops, and deviled eggs were so tasty I barely had room left for the main course because I couldn't stop taking more! Our entree selections were similarly satisfying with a delicious chicken dish, glazed rainbow baby carrots, and their clam chowder being notable standouts. The sirloin carving station was a real hit, particularly with their fig and wilted arugula accomplishments, and Chef Ned's bright and engaging personality made this event really stand out with a friendly greeting and engaging conversation for all, both young and old. The whole team was exceedingly friendly and engaged, not cool and aloof like some service staff can be. I'd particularly like to give a shout-out to Jen who not only guided us through all of the planning steps leading up to the big day, but also was kind enough to go to the store after her set up was done and pick up more ice for us for our self-furnished beverage station. Many caterers would have treated this as a "not my problem"situation since we weren't paying them to provide beverages, but she went above and beyond to help ensure our event was a success. I have zero reservations about calling Jen at Great Circle for help planning our next big event and neither should you!

The cost was very reasonable. We were thrilled and wouldn't change a thing!
