"I want to thank you so incredibly much for what you did for our family. Not only are you amazing at your job, you have such a wonderful spirit and energy to help us get things done and laugh with us at the same time. You kept me and my mom at ease all day, I didn't spend one second worried about anything and enjoyed every minute. The decor was beyond my visions, you are so talented and gifted in SO MANY ways. We are forever ever grateful for you."

Kate and her Beautiful Days team were such a pleasure to work with…read more Throughout the planning process, Kate listened carefully, asked us questions to pinpoint our tastes, and provided options to accomplish the look we were trying to achieve. In the end, Kate understood our "vision" perhaps better than we did, using a few photos we provided as inspiration to create arrangements, centerpieces, and other decor that blew us away when we arrived at the wedding venue and saw them for the first time. Kate and her team are true artists and pay attention to every detail! We could not have been happier with Beautiful Days and would highly recommend them for your wedding or any occasion.

Where to begin…read more.. The decor and atmosphere are top notch, the people are cool and friendly and the food is totally different for the area. The owner brought the Philadelphia food style to Maine and is perfect. The two guys (and daughter) who run the place are by far the nicest people I've ever met. Go in more than once and they'll greet you by your first name. I highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to or living in the area,

The BAD Elephant…read more Blue Elephant is AMATURE catering at best. In a few words: disorganized and dysfunctional management, poor communication, tasteless and bland food. This placed doesn't even deserve one star. Thankfully, boxed pizza saved the day. We hired them for our wedding a few years back to serve apps and a sit down dinner. As appetizers were passed, we noticed there were NO bacon wrapped scallops. Instead, Blue Elephant REPLACED this with some fig-thing! Apparently they were unable or simply forgot to get the scallops?? This last minute substitutions was made WITHOUT our knowledge and without ANY price adjustment/refund towards the bill, which of course they make you prepay in full. No satisfaction guarantee with this company. The plated dinner was such a disaster! The steak was so disgusting and poorly cooked, no one ate it and the brussel sprouts that accompanied it were completely inedible. How do you mess up brussel sprouts?! It was really upsetting to see all the thousands of dollars worth of food, be dumped into the trash. Some of our guests actually LEFT our wedding and brought back PIZZA!! So this is what you get when you spend thousands and hire people who claim to have 27 years of catering experience?? How embarrassing. Not to mention, you can expect a ridiculous delay in emails, expect to make numerous calls to get a hold of either Ruben or Fausto and prepare yourself for lots of confusion and unexpected menu changes without being notified or reimbursed. Hiring the BAD Elephant was a total waste of money and I would never recommend them to anybody!

Then days before my wedding she tried to make me pay for her insurance despite ny clarifying with her multiple times that she had insurance covered in the cost I was paying. She went mia when I brought this to her attention. Only after reaching out to many people in connection to her on Facebook did I finally get someone who got to her and then she sent me an email to cancel at 9 pm the night before my wedding. I sent back a kind reply hoping she was okay and just asked for a refund as there was no service provided for the cost. No matter how many times I reach out via, call, text, email, social media, etc there is no reply. Please save yourself time, stress, and money, go elsewhere for service!

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!
