What a magical, stunning location for a wedding! I recently attended an Open House at the Caswell…read moreFarm and Wedding Barn. Full disclosure, I attended with my husband, who runs a wedding/function band. He wanted to attend to make a connection for an upcoming wedding he is booked for on the property, I came with him because I was really curious. I hear so many things about wedding venues, but rarely get to tour one myself. Walking from the parking lot, the grounds are green and very well tended. There is a lovely space to the side for ceremonies with a rustic white birch wedding arch. The barn itself is open to fresh air, has a main section perfect for dancing and celebrating, as well as an upstairs for guests who want to stay connected to the fun looking to take a break. On one end of the barn, there is a big deck with stairs leading out to the lawn/wedding tent where tables are set up for dinner. On another side of the barn, there was a bar set up, as well as a brick oven pizza station. All along the property are lovely strings of lights. I was so struck by the beauty of this space. Those lucky enough to have the resources to book Caswell Farm for their wedding reception are in for something very special!

At one point we needed further assistance with florals - as the entire staff was so hands on, the chefs from the café stepped up to assist. Everyone who worked there was super kind & felt like a friend at the end of the weekend. Nina, Mackenzie & the all the other staff members were with us throughout the weekend and can't thank them enough. 10/10 would recommend, I hope I get to attend another event as this amazing spot.

The wedding I attended here had the ceremony on benches on the top of a small hill, and the reception in the barn. The tables and chairs that are provided were very nice as well. My only complaint is that the bar area is really quite small--not great for cocktail hour. There also isn't a private space for the bridal party.

I had two photographers from the emilie inc. team and they did a FANTASTIC job at our wedding! I…read morewas confident based on the portfolios I had seen, and they delivered. I love the style and how well they blended the natural environment and elements of our venue into the shots. There's a great balance between the details and the documentary style shots, and candid portraits of the wedding party and guests. Leading up to the wedding, we had no problem getting our questions answered and paying through their online invoicing system. We were able to visit the office and meet our photographers ahead of time and the whole experience was wonderful. We were welcomed with warmth and cupcakes! They pay attention to the details of the whole experience. This is a top-notch company. I had two disappointments (which is the reason why I didn't give a 5-star review. It would be 4.5 if I could!). The first is that photog team did not set up any fill lights for the formal portraits. I should have asked about this ahead of time, but I thought it was standard for professional portraits. At least at every wedding I have been to, there were a few diffusers or flashes set up even if the shooters were photojournalism/documentary style wedding photographers. The faces and eye sockets are more shadowed than I would have hoped. Also, in retrospect, we weren't getting any fun alternate angles for the group portraits, like looking over our shoulders, holding out our bouquets, holding hands, or moving to have a different background such as the lake in addition to having trees as the background. Alas! The second disappointment is that despite two photogs being there for over an hour while there was live music at our reception, we didn't receive a single image of the amazing seven-piece band in action. I would definitely recommend emilie inc. - just make sure you communicate about exactly what your expectations are ahead of time. Once the wedding schedule gets rolling, it is hard to remember your photography wish list. There are more important things to focus on, like being present for your loved ones and celebration! :)

We absolutely LOVED working with Emilie! Not only is her work amazing, she herself is an awesome…read moreperson! Finding the right photographer you can rely on to capture the essence and beauty of a wedding can be a stressful task for any bride. That is why I set out to select a photographer as one of my first tasks after getting engaged. I am very fortunate to know a lot of wonderful wedding photographers but felt the best connection to Emilie. I knew from the beginning that we were in good hands. Emilie even called to talk to me about my vision for the wedding on her family vacation to Disney! She works masterfully with angles and lighting to capture moments in the most creative and elegant ways possible. We loved the way she interacted with us and our guests to make us all feel comfortable and at ease throughout the ceremony and reception. Emilie captures emotion at its purest and most candid moments, so that when you look back, you can easily relive those precious memories. Emilie definitely helped make our day feel even more special, and we're so incredibly happy with our choice of selecting her as our photographer to capture one of the most important days of our lives. We supremely recommend her!

Hiring Alice and Chris to capture our wedding and separate reception was one of the best decisions we made in our whole wedding planning process, hands down. From the moment we met them, my now-wife and I connected with their incredible friendliness and energy. From the moment we saw our pictures, we were blown away. Not only do we now consider Alice and Chris friends, but we have more beautiful images from our wedding than we could have ever imagined. Alice and Chris were professional and warm and thorough from the planning through the day of, and their obvious excitement and passion for what they do made it all the more fun for us as we were taking pictures. Every single person who has seen our wedding photos has commented on how stunning they are, and both of our families will be hiring Alice and Chris for every photography need in the future. We're certainly keeping them on notice when we're ready to start our own family :) Long story short: if you want stunningly gorgeous photos and photographers who become friends, look no further than Alice and Chris.

You eat family style which isnt my fave but in particular really isnt my fave if youre starving and running on a few 2oz shots of cider as there is no beer, wine, full pours of anything or even water? We sat at the end of the table and when the main entree (chicken) came out it was put in the middle so by the time it got to us we got about 2 bites of gristly thigh- and then the "chef" had the audacity to ask if we were full?! It was pretty clear that there was no edible chicken or pureed vegetables by the time it got down to us so when they cleared plates that didnt have food it should have gone without saying. We had to go home and order a pizza, mainly cause this took so long everything was closed. For the price point you could actually eat food you wanted almost anywhere else in Maine. I didnt feel comfortable complaining as it is generally not necessary in fine dining establishments and would have been rude in such a setting, particularly as we were sat next to a business associate of the chef. Such a disappointment.
