Weddings and Celebrations

If you are looking for a warm, authentic, and affordable space to hold your special event, then our 19th century barn set in the midst of a working orchard & vineyard is sure to please. Boothby’s is the perfect choice for your Maine farm and orchard wedding!

The Boothby family purchased this barn adjacent house in 1865. As part of a seven generation farm, the old barn has been home to all kinds of things over the years, from a 1931 Model A to countless hay bales & horses to farm machinery as well a whole host of stories and memories. With an electrical upgrade, running water and a fridge at the bar, it retains all of its charm and is ready to become your space; a place as distinct and genuine as your vision for your special day.
