Cute inn. Really was set up (decor wise) to feel like an inn and not a motel, which is great…read more The check-in counter had the old mailroom slots for each hotel room, as if really expecting a lot of postal mail. My boys enjoyed the mints in the jar. The lobby had a small sitting area to visit with visitors, as if people really sit down to patiently politely chat these days. Ha! We were too close to the elevator and the stairway. Noisy. But all rooms were taken and so we had to make do. The breakfast area ran more like a hotel. Droves of people were eating breakfast at exactly the same hour. The staff could just about keep up with the full depletion of eggs, coffee, bread, etc. There was a very slow toaster that could not get the job done. All in all, reminded me of the Gilmore Girls and their cute running of an inn.

We stayed a couple of nights in Bangor at the Country Inn…read more First and foremost, the staff is helpful and friendly. They were the best part of our stay. It's not far from the Orono Bog, where you can hike (note: wear bug spray, it is a bog). We took advantage of the onsite washer/dryer to do a load of laundry after our hike. The breakfasts are included and were wonderful with lots of choices (eggs, waffles, sausage and ham, fruit and yogurt, etc.) There's not a lot to see in Bangor, so we took an hour ride to Bar Harbor for a walk and dinner. We'd definitely stay here again if we are ever in Bangor.

I hired the Bangor Banquet & Conference Center to host and cater my wedding reception, and I…read morecouldn't be happier! The staff was friendly and efficient, the facility was clean and well-kept, and it was super affordable. We had over 160 people attending, and they got everyone through the food line quickly. The best part was that they took down our table decorations for us and put everything on a table for us to pick up the next morning. It made it so much easier and less stressful - we were able to take off the next morning without any trouble!

We had an incredible experience with DG@HOME. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The…read morefood was absolutely outstanding beautifully presented, creative, and easily on par with what you would expect from a top restaurant. Having a chef come into our home and create this level of dining experience made the evening feel incredibly special. Every detail was taken care of, which allowed us to simply relax, enjoy our guests, and have an amazing dinner. If you're looking for a private chef for a special occasion, dinner party, or just an unforgettable night at home, I can't recommend DG@HOME enough. We will absolutely be doing this again!

DJ Lyons was amazing to work with! Would definitely recommend. We used his DJ services for our…read morerecent wedding at the Bar Harbor Inn and Spa on 6/21. He was very communicative from the beginning and transparent about payment schedule and pricing. He gave us the flexibility to put together our own playlist for the reception so that we could have the exact vibe that we were looking for. He did an amazing job curating the playlist and even though it was a morning wedding with an afternoon reception he was able to get a ton of people onto the dance floor. We would definitely recommend if you are planning a wedding in Bar Harbor or at the Bar Harbor Inn and Spa.

My now-husband and I were hoping to find a DJ who would give us a dance party full of our favorites…read morewithout being pushy, so we were so relieved to find DJ Bill Lyons, who respected our more laid-back choices and didn't guilt us into doing introductions or anything we felt uncomfortable doing. Bill had a terrific online song selection process that let us pick our "must play" and "do not play" songs in advance, and walked us through what would make for good background music during cocktail hour and dinner. He tracked down our more obscure requests as needed, and mixed in plenty of old favorites to keep everyone from the flower girl on up dancing all night. We were so lucky to have had DJ Bill at our wedding!

We came during mother's day brunch and had reservations. It seemed like there was a mix up because…read morewe had one adult who is handicapped and two children but we were sat at high top tables. The high chair provided didn't even reach. And sadly the chairs at the table didn't even match, a couple chairs must have been taken from the bar to accommodate our party. We would have gladly waited for the table we requested. The food was delicious. My favorite part was the dessert bar. The limoncello cake was the best.

We chose Lucerne Inn because we had an occasion to celebrate. Something a little nicer than the…read moreusual. There was so much potential for this to go right. Great view. Cute country inn. But the food was forgettable/bad and the service was painfully absent. After being seated (by an older man in sweatpants), we waited twenty minutes before anyone acknowledged us. We all mentioned that it was weird that we were sitting there for 20 minutes, and wondered if the girl who brought us bread was our server. And we wondered more as we sat for even longer. Eventually, a young woman who walked by us several times serving nearby tables asked if we were waiting long. We said yes. actually, we have been. She avoided the topic and asked for our orders... We'd had plenty of time to decide. We ordered all at once, still hoping that this experience would have a sunny spot. Brussel sprouts as an app for the table, Filet Mignon, Roast Duck, Chicken Quesadillas, and a burger (mine) The brussel sprouts appetizer arrived for the table, and was exceptionally chewy. The burger, ordered medium rate, was charred well-done. I made it through a few bites before i gave up, Everyone else commented their meal was just okay too. No one checked in. At the very end of the meal, roughly an hour later, with half finished plates, the Owner (wearing sweat pants) asked how everything was. He missed the silence and half eaten food. We thought he might have noticed that it may not have been the spectacular, or even moderately good experience that you venture out for. We were left with the feeling that there may have been a time when this was a special place, where you took someone for a special experience. I can only hope it was a bad day/night/week or that something happened that we weren't aware of. But the guy wearing sweatpants seemed to sum up the experience - Nobody is trying here.

Recently spent a fantastic weekend at the Alamoosok Lakeside Inn…read more Great accommodations right on the water in one of the most beautiful parts of Maine. Excellent staff, great food and drink. The Inn itself is quaint and historic and the perfect location for an event or a group getaway. It is right next to the water and just beautiful. There are canoes to use as well as games and books inside. They are also just great restaurant and bar as well, with amazing specialty drinks and an eclectic collection of local beer and IPAs on tap. I highly recommend this place for your summer or fall getaway. I know we'll be back.

Gaze out at the beautiful lake, watch the ducks and geese float by, and listen to the live music. Ice skating and ice fishing in the winter, boating, swimming, snorkeling and more in warmer weather.

Terran did a fantastic job even though he had extremely short notice! He was everything we could have wanted and more. When he heard about our situation, he immediately sprang into action and drove 3 hours to set up for our cocktail hour and reception. He showed up looking clean-cut and professional, and he was really sweet about checking on us and making sure we were happy throughout the night. We also sent him our playlists and preferred song lists right before the wedding and he incorporated everything we asked for, plus he read the crowd and added in his own selection that hyped people up and fit the exact vibe we wanted. Honestly our day was almost ruined by the first DJ and we would have been happy to have anyone, so Terran truly could have done no wrong...but after seeing him in action I can confidently say we would have hired him from the start if we had known how good he was. My guests and my husband and I had a blast thanks to Noreast Entertainment making the night absolutely perfect.

Michael did a phenomenal job for our firm's professional headshots. He took our employee's schedule…read moreinto consideration, and was very precise with his process of photography. While he was taking the photos of us, he would have us look at the captured photos on a large high definition screen(maybe 42" screen) that was in the studio. He would ask us what we liked about the photos and what we didn't like. In response to our individual answers, he restructured how he took the following photos and coached us through repositioning ourselves to get the perfect shot. After we took all the photos, he scrolled through them individually flagging the ones we liked. After flagging them, he let me decide on which ones we wanted for processing. His turn around time for the photos was fast, and the quality of the photos portrayed the professionalism my company needed. He is someone who enjoys what he does, and is great at it.
