A Wedding Weekend, Not Just a Wedding Day

For many couples planning a destination wedding in Maine, the wedding is only one part of the celebration. Samantha and Tim were able to make their wedding a full weekend experience by having their ceremony, reception and guest accommodations connected to the same destination.

Village by the Sea is located in Wells, Maine, between Ogunquit and Kennebunkport and close to Wells Beach and the Southern Maine coast. Guests can enjoy the area before and after the wedding while having a comfortable suite to return to. This makes Village by the Sea especially appealing for couples whose guests are traveling from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, other parts of Maine and throughout New England.

The Village by the Sea was better than I could have ever imagined! The entire team was incredible, so thorough, organized, and knowledgeable. From the very beginning, I felt completely confident that our wedding day would run smoothly, and it absolutely did thanks to them. Everyone we worked with was professional, polite, and so accommodating. The rooms were beautiful, and the rates were fantastic for our guests. My husband and I had the most amazing time, and we owe it all to the Village by The Sea team. I truly cannot recommend them enough!
