I had used 1830 Wedding Barn as my wedding venue October 12, 2019. We had booked them May 6th,…read more2018. During the time that we had booked them, and were under contract with them, to the date of the event they had changed many aspects that they had originally sold us on. They had told us we had the week of the wedding for all of our needs, the entire day before the wedding for rehearsal/set up, our dog was allowed to be in our wedding, the day of the event we had from 10 am to 10 pm to arrive and departure, as well as to clean up Sunday morning. October 5th, 2019 The wedding barn sent out an email outlining new guidelines of the venue. In these guidelines they state no animals, all clean up must be done the night of the wedding, we now only had 2 hours the Friday before for rehearsal, dinner, and for decorations, and a max time the reception could be is 4 hours. Rehearsal day, I was told to arrive a little bit earlier to unload decorations before the rest of my bridal party/family showed up. We had set the time for everyone to meet at 5 but the venue had told me to arrive closer to 3:45 to be sure I had most things set up (conversed in person and through email and text). I had walked into the barn and nothing had been set up (tables, chairs, and special curtain we had paid $150 to be put up). I had walked in and instantly looked at the girl who I had spoken with to make this plan and said "wow, your hair looks amazing". She greeted me with attitude, "Is rehearsal dinner not at 5?". Taken back by her remark, I had explained that she had told me to come in early to deliver decorations (I am sure wedding season is busy and everyone needs a little reminder sometimes.) She then snapped at me stating that I only had 2 hours to be there. She did not recall telling me to come early, though there were texts, and emails confirming it. We had also spoken prior to the rehearsal about my legal contract and that they agreed they would honor "what ever was in the contract". In the contract it was written that we had ample time the week prior and the entire day Friday to set up. If anyone else reading this had gotten married, they understand how stressful it is in general, (especially the day before) and having to process and deal with substantial changes a week prior, I was incredibly stressed out. After being greeted with such attitude I had just broken down and cried. We had many other issues with the wedding and we were about to call the entire thing off right then and there. Day of wedding, there was no organization of the staff at all. I had shown up with my friend and we were told to drive around back so that I wouldn't be seen. As soon as we had driven out there we were screamed at for driving on their grass but had been instructed to drive down that dirt road. They had also screamed at my poor grandmother for driving around back since she was unaware of where to park, since they were not directing traffic coming in (many witnessed that had written me statements). TO note they would not allow any of my vendors to arrive at the Venue before 12pm, though the contract stated they could get there at 10am. They had shut my DJ down at 7:45 telling him multiple times to turn down his music and rushed us out the door by 8:30. This included us rushing to clean up our own wedding and many valuable things went missing afterwards. We were under contact for our wedding and wedding schedule to end at 10 not be rushed out the door the entire day. My vendors, who have written statements, felt uncomfortable by the venues presents and tried to avoid them at all costs. One had noted smelling strong alcohol on one of them during Rehearsal as well as the day of the wedding. My event coordinator/wedding planner also did NOT have a pleasant experience with them at all. There are so many other things that had happened to make our experience subpar but at the end of the day they knowingly violated our contract stating, "we didn't expect you to remember all the things that we sold you on in our first meeting". I totally understand the need to change and improve each wedding, however with big changes like these we should have been notified prior to a week before the wedding and a new contract should have been issued to outline their changes or giving us an option to move elsewhere if their new changes didn't work with us. I only ever plan on getting married one time and unfortunately every time we look back on the day we deeply regret choosing this facility or even having a wedding in general. With all the stress they had put us through we should have just eloped. I know some people had a great experience with these people but I am just sharing my personal experience that I encountered.

Since they started this business, I have now become part of the staff and some of the negative comments being made on this site are from people who took a small misunderstanding and unfairly blew it way out of proportion in saying that the owners are prejudice against gay people. Had I been aware that a showing was scheduled and that the owners were out of town, as a staff member, I would have tried to be there to do the showing myself, however, I was also out of town attending my own cousins gay wedding.

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.

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.

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!

After sitting in the sauna for 15 to 20 minutes, we stepped outside into 17° winter weather and it was amazing! The staff and the owners, Nicole and Geoff, were all very friendly and accommodating. Each morning we had a delicious breakfast in the dining room. It was a very relaxing getaway, and we highly recommend the Wolf Cove Inn.

Nicole and Geoff have a beautiful inn and were so accommodating to our small wedding. The food is something I really want to highlight, the complimentary breakfasts were so tasty, and everyone loved them. We did a lobster bake for our rehearsal dinner and for the night of the wedding the Microwedding package we had purchased included a coursed dinner. Both meals absolutely blew us and our guests away. Our group's favorites were the seasonal creamed spinach, the hot honey burrata salad, and the filet mignon. We tend to be a little particular about food and the meals could not have been better. If you are debating having any kind of wedding at wolf cove or even just a romantic weekend away I would not hesitate to book here! Thank you to the Wolf Cove Inn team for making our wedding weekend so seamless and beautiful!

The photo ops are endless here. The lobster bake for dinner was scrumptious! The owner, Todd, has a brother who is a lobster fisherman. He caught our lobsters the morning of the wedding! The corn on the cob was so sweet and the potatoes fluffy! Todd is a wonderful host and is so welcoming. I showed up a little early so we were browsing outside. Todd came right out and introduced himself and gave us a little tour and some interesting history of how his predecessors opened the Bed and Breakfast. I would've given 5 stars but we did have some "communication" issues with Todd's wife, Karen. In all fairness to her, she did admit to me on the phone that she was only involved since Todd's Mom had passed away 2 years ago. I don't think this is her "niche" and, sadly it shows. Imo, she doesn't seem like a "people person" which caused some unnecessary stress at times. However, I do have to say she is a fantastic cook! Overall, I do recommend The Mooring Bed and Breakfast.

Everything was clean, spacious, and they included extra pillows, a blanket, 2 robes, and extra towels. There was a mini-frig, Keurig Coffee maker, and 2 bottled waters. The room was updated, and had Quartz countertops in the bathroom, kitchenette, on the TV cabinet, dresser, and end tables. The staff were friendly and helpful. Free parking, a nice restaurant onsite. Great location, next to Bowdoin College, which has a gorgeous campus. The only suggestion I have for such a nice hotel is to include a magnifying make-up mirror in the bathroom, which would be helpful for those of us with poor eyesight and/or for those that are shorter and can't get close up to the mirror over the vanity. I realize this is a First-world problem. We would highly recommend this hotel, and we were sad we only booked it for one night, on our way back to Boston.

So much to say here.... but ill summarize by revisiting the recent history of this Masterpiece of a location. The current owners fell in love, were married at this very location..... felt strongly enough to share this uniqie treasure with the world, that they purchased Boothbay Playhouse to create perfect memories for all those who see its charm and beauty. And this my dear friends, is exactly how they operate and what you can expect. Absolutely perfect wedding venue, rain or shine. Still have a wedding hangover from the amazing memories created on May 10th. 2025. John, Sarah and their staff are the best. Make the call, you'll be glad you did.
