The ceiling lighting and draping added just the right touch. Everyone loved it. The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is because the wedding planner realized, at the last minute, that the draping near the door wouldn't work as it was set. I was surprised that Robin didn't realize this before she left. The bride and the wedding planner moved some things around and it worked perfectly. We were very impressed with the work that Maine Event did under very weird circumstances in a very weird space. I would highly recommend them.

He is kind, genuine, and extremely patient when it comes to any questions or concerns you might have about your big day. He is always willing to talk on the phone or set up a meeting about anything you need! But the real highlight was our actual wedding day. Kevin goes out of his way to make the day feel fun and stress-free. He has incredible time management and organization to keep things running smoothly, all while keeping everyone smiling, laughing, and having a great time! He is the perfect day-of coordinator, and a really wonderful photographer as well. We are already head-over-heels for our preview photos -- he has such a talent for capturing beautiful photographs... and he even managed to make my 13-year-old niece smile (not an easy task!) And his skills as a DJ are just as incredible... he managed to get so many people out on the dance floor, and our guests were all raving about how fun he was! He helped to make our wedding day the most amazing day of our lives. We are so grateful!

His level of energy, excitement and entertainment is above and beyond. Your wedding guests cannot help but get on the dance floor, it becomes contagious. The guests LOVE Kevin, seriously adore him- I never knew it was possible to have so many complements in my choice of DJ/Photographer. One of the reasons we hired Amazing DJ was because it was a one stop shop, made it easy. You got a DJ, photographer, photo booth, and wedding planning, plus we did engagement photos ahead of time. No need to coordinate or have multiple vendors. Love love love all the photos. From the wedding, they capture the essence of our guests and feel of the event. So many photos to choose from! And the Photo booth- so many fun props and hats- all my guests said it was the best photo booth at a wedding ever! Finally as a wedding planner, he rocks it. He makes sure your day runs smoothly by helping you plan effectively ahead of time. Did I mention how great he is with kids and pets? Kevin truely made my wedding and our guests' experience of our day amazing.

They would not return our deposit after covid caused us to cancel our 2020 wedding plans (due to…read morestate laws, not our own choice). Their justification was that they gave us until the next year to reschedule, but that's not an option for many couples and wasn't an option for us. This was the only vendor we worked with that wouldn't refund the money. We even gave them time to refund us and a year later still wouldn't budge. I understand how in general the wedding industry won't return deposits because they lost a day where they could have had another wedding, but this was clearly not the case. I would have tried legal action but the deposit amount wasn't worth it (and I'm sure the company knew this too). They took one of the most difficult situations of our lives and made it worse. Please avoid this company.

She and her team were extremely responsive by email, answered all of our questions (and then some), and were supremely flexible in giving us options for our ceremony. My mother commented on how much she loved Connie's spirit during the rehearsal itself, and we were all impressed with her on the day of: she had prepared us note cards to read our vows (which were a bit long to have repeated), she had a tissue for me when the inevitable tears started to roll down my cheeks, and she was just beyond calming. Connie incorporated all of the religious elements I wanted in my ceremony, while still making sure the feel was spiritual -- that is, it never ever felt like I was sitting in Sunday School being lectured by a pastor. All in all, Connie and All in One Weddings was an enormously important part of our wedding day, and I wouldn't hesitate even a second to recommend them to any bride-to-be who's searching around for an officiant in Maine. Thank you, Connie... it was truly our pleasure.

We had my son and daughter-in-laws wedding reception here at the Italian Heritage Center and…read morecouldn't have been happier with all the accommodations we received. First off I must let you know that my son and daughter-in-law were married last year and due to COVID restrictions were not allowed to have a large reception. Well the restrictions were lifted and the party was all set to go. My wife began the planning process over a year ago meeting, texting and talking with Cami who was the Heritage Center manager. She helped me plan the reception decor and food options. We decided on the New York Buffet which included prime rib, shrimp ziti scampi, parmesian crusted chicken, garden salad, roasted garlic potatoes and and assortment of steamed veggies. All the food was delicious, however the prime rib and roasted potatoes were over the top outstanding. We had multiple complements! Kudos goes to the chef. The decor was beautifully displayed with blue bows on the white covered chairs.

An old review of mine, tweaked a little bit since posting back in August 2010 on a wedding website:…read more Our wedding was absolutely stunning in the smaller (da Vinci) room. The staff do a phenomenal job in making the room beautiful. The food was wonderful, the service was excellent. The servers were top notch--and practically invisible--throughout the night. We were incredibly happy to have had our wedding at the Heritage Center. The one reason for the 4 stars is that Kim, the manager, was very difficult to get in touch with until the week of our wedding. While I understand when people are busy, I didn't feel that my questions were out-of-line or overboard, and it was supposed to be a pretty important day for me. I found the best results were obtained by arriving in person because emails and voicemails went unanswered. TIP: Spring for a package deal, the chair covers and bows were fabulous and made the room seem that much more elegant.

We are…read morelocated in SW New Hampshire and with Portland being a 2+ hour drive, I needed assurance that the venue we chose would understand our needs, meet a reasonable budget, be responsive, impress and not cause embarassment! Our options were Keeley's or a local hotel ballroom. I was the organizer and the more I talked to the hotel event planners with their grandiose menus and high prices, the more I appreciated Keith's straightforwardness and practicality. I signed up with Keeley's. Our conference went quite well with about 50 attending. The generous space that we had included two big sections of the facility with tables and lecturn/screen in one room and displays and buffet in the other worked out very well. Their food as a part of the business special was very good with lots of variety. The day started with coffee, tea and a nice continental breakfast. Nothing fancy, but the smell of fresh baked cinnimon rolls really broke the ice with our attendees, many of whom we were meeting for the first time. The microphones, PA system and projector provided by Keeley's worked flawlessly. The high speed wifi did too. It's a family business. Keith is a good guy to work with: helpful, thoughtful and experienced. They deal with lots of wedding receptions and other family gatherings but he really likes business meetings and understands the needs of a medium sized business like ours. Other good things: Lots of (free) parking. A well kept building. Responsive staff. Timely food service. Good coordination with our needs. Easy access from I-95. 15 minutes from downtown.

We had a very touch and go sort of reception where my husband and I just tossed in new activities as people started to look bored. It's a wonderful venue and I whole-heartedly recommend working with them. Want to give people a heads up that this is a dry facility so if your wedding MUST have alcohol look elsewhere.
