Let’s face it if we have animals we are animal lovers. Those that don’t have animals might not understand how important it is for our pets to be part of the wedding. Plus they are so adorable. Once you get engaged the first thing you typically secure is your wedding venue, but you have to search for Maine pet-friendly wedding venues.

Searching for a Pet-Friendly Wedding Venue in Maine?

When beginning your search for the perfect pet-friendly wedding venue you can be pulled in several directions. You might end up searching webpage after webpage getting further lost in the process. Some wedding venues don’t have if they are pet-friendly listed on their website at all. I have compiled a list of Maine pet-friendly wedding venues for you to look at in one location. Know every link you click on allows pets to stay at the wedding and YES even take part in it. Don’t make the search complicated, check out these pet-friendly wedding venues and make life easier. Here is some more help on How to choose a wedding venue.

Your best bet is to find an outdoor wedding venue. Wedding tent rentals in Maine make it possible to host your gathering outside, where pets can be free.

Camp Wildwood-Bridgeton, Maine

This camp is a waterfront wedding venue on 80 acres with access to the beach! This camp is family-owned and has been for 20 years. I for one have always been a fan of family-owned wedding venues, there is a different type of hospitality you experience. It’s an experience you always remember for the better. The best part about having a lake wedding is the space you have, and most of your decorations are natural. For more on this lovely family-owned wedding venue click HERE.

Alamoosook Lakeside Inn- Orland, Maine

This Is a venue I talk about a lot. This lakeside wedding venue in Maine gives you the seclusion of being far away one with nature where it is quiet and peaceful. I love this pet-friendly wedding venue for various reasons, but to start the staff that runs this venue are the nicest people you will meet. You hear people talk about small-town Maine charm and how the people are so hospitable, the owners of this wedding venue make Maine shine in their hospitality. Not only can you stay here if you aren’t having a wedding which would make for a romantic getaway for an anniversary, but you and your guests can stay when you plan your wedding here.

16 Bay View-Camden Maine

Camden is such a beautiful small-town gem. Many people like to get married in the large park facing the harbor (stunning view by the way, with gorgeous sunsets). The best part about having this outdoor wedding is you are within walking distance of several very nice hotels such as the 16 Bay View luxury hotel. However, if you aren’t looking for an outdoor wedding this hotel also hosts weddings in their banquet room. The best thing about having your wedding in Camden is you have a gorgeous indoor venue but you are within walking distance to some of the most stunning harbor and oceanside views. This hotel can accommodate you and your guests, the furry ones included, you can also wake up and enjoy the quaintness of the mom-and-pop shops and bakeries (amazing by the way).
