st and kindest people! They are well prepared for all weather situations, so there’s no need to worry about outdoor weddings and changing weather conditions. The most special thing to me is how caring the owners are! They deeply care about the guests experience. They prioritize customer service, which shows in their words and actions. Their passion for cultivating a beautiful and historic place for people to gather is what constantly brings me back to this location. I’m dying to have my wedding here!

I cannot praise Ryan and Casey enough! Every. Single. Detail. Was. PERFECT! The venue is incredible, morning to night, and just overall so gorgeous. They both care so much about ma...

king sure that you have a perfect wedding, and you truly feel their passion every time you speak with them. They really walk you through every step and are incredibly supportive every step of the way. No matter what question I had, no matter how random, they had an answer. Not only that, Casey was always so prompt answering my emails or texts! When you're an anxious bride, that timeliness is such a relief. I truly loved working with both of them! They had an extensive list of preferred vendors and were very willing to work with vendors outside of that list. On the day of my wedding, they were on site, making sure every small detail was perfect. Did I mention that they have a golf cart? I got to be whisked to the rose tunnel to wait for my cue to walk down the aisle, hidden from my groom, which was SO FUN! Plus, it was really helpful to have that around for our family members that had mobility challenges. My day was nothing short of perfect, and I will remember it for the rest of my life as one of the happiest days of my life. Being able to have my wedding here, to have Casey and Ryan in my corner the whole time, was amazing. Not to mention them coming to the rescue with our last-minute tables (and the electric fly swatter), really took so much weight off my shoulders. You will not regret working with them, nor will you regret having your wedding at this truly magical venue!

Where to even start. Casey and Ryan were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process of wedding planning. I truly don’t think the word “no” is in their vocabulary. From the be...

ginning, they were on board with our vision and were there to help in any way they could to make our day magical. From last minute adjustments, to our catering cancelling the day before our wedding, they were hands on deck and there to support in whatever way we needed whether that was giving us recommendations for local food options or quite literally being willing to help us boil up enough pasta for 120 people in their kitchen. Because of their dedication, our day was truly remarkable and unforgettable amidst the chaos! And as if that wasn’t enough, their venue is STUNNING. A week later and people are still reaching out to us to tell us how beautiful, dreamy, and amazing the grounds and gardens were at Belvedere. It still doesn’t feel real. Not only were we blown away, but our guests keep saying they will remember this venue forever. I cannot recommend them enough!

My husband and I were married at Belvedere House and Gardens in August 2025. I had googled “lesser known wedding venues” when doing my search because I wanted to find something tha...

t hadn’t already been done a million times. This is a newer venue, and so we got really lucky that we could get married here in one of the first seasons it’s been open! I know it will be one of the most popular places to get married in Maine in years to come! Working with the owners, Casey and Ryan, was a true delight from start to finish. The communication was quick, easy, and always reliable! They have been renovating the property and putting their energy and hard work (and love!) into the Victorian era house since they bought it in 2021 and you can tell it’s truly been a labor of love. The inside is gorgeously decorated and made for the most magical getting ready experience for me and my bridesmaids and mom. And the gardens are some of the most decadent and magical I’ve ever seen. It was so romantic to be able to be married among the brilliantly colored flowers and perfectly placed statues. They worked with all of our vendors to make the experience seamless for everyone. I had absolutely no worries that our wedding day was going to be worry-free because of Ryan and Casey. Also- we had two last minute vendor cancellations and they helped with fixing the issue almost immediately. I cannot emphasize enough how perfect this venue is and how professional and helpful Casey and Ryan were throughout the whole planning process! I can’t wait to come back to this magical property for years to come!
