THE UNIQUE SPIRIT of the Bangor region is evident in its charming shops, delicious dining options, and worldclass performing arts venues. The opportunity to indulge in culture and nature will beckon your guests at every turn, and it’s all within the city limits or just a short drive away. The city of Bangor is centrally located in Maine and is within a 90-minute drive of Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Baxter State Park, and the Moosehead Lake Region. If your perfect day includes a secluded lakeside ceremony with Mount Katahdin as your backdrop, your dream can come true. Or if saying your vows while standing with your loved one by a spectacular ocean coastline, lake, or gorgeous golf course is what you desire, local professionals have the expertise to help to make your vision a reality.

If an indoor wedding and reception is more to your style and liking, this region has numerous elegant locations — many of which are complete with high ceilings, beautiful chandeliers, and picturesque views. No budget is too small and no party is too large for many of the reception sites in the area. From sites steeped in history to brand new facilities, finding a place to celebrate your wedding day is a piece of cake!
