If you’ve been dreaming about a coastal wedding with rugged cliffs and ocean breezes, I can’t think of a better place than Bar Harbor. I fell in love with how this town blends Maine’s dramatic seaside beauty with those charming New England vibes—you’ll feel it the moment you arrive.

Highlights:

  • Bar Harbor Inn & Spa – I toured this elegant waterfront venue and instantly imagined a ceremony on their oceanview terrace. You’ll love the classic coastal charm.
  • Acadia National Park – If you want nature as your backdrop, you can’t go wrong here. I’ve seen ceremonies surrounded by mountains, lakes, and rocky shores—and it’s absolutely magical.
  • Atlantic Oceanside Hotel & Event Center – I stayed here once and remember walking straight onto the private beach. If you want panoramic views and space to celebrate, this is a great choice for you.
  • The 1932 Criterion Theatre – For something truly unique, this vintage art deco theater is unforgettable. I walked through it and could see how perfect it would be for a couple who loves history and flair.
  • The Claremont Hotel – I still think about the gardens and seaside decks here. You’ll feel the timeless elegance as soon as you step onto the property—it’s ideal for a romantic, polished wedding day.

Recommended Tour in Bar Harbor, Maine:

  • While you're in town, I highly recommend the 3-hour guided culinary walking tour. I did it last summer and got to sample local seafood and treats while learning about Bar Harbor’s history. Price: From $160 per person.
