We got married on 9/19/26 at Cunningham Farm and we could not have asked for a better experience! The venue itself is stunning and we wanted to utilize all the space. Our ceremony was down in the trees, which required a lot of logistics, Matt was wonderful with making sure the shuttle had the safest drop off point on the day. Coordinating with Matt was seamless, he was incredibly accommodating to us, and our family during venue walkthroughs and leading up to our wedding date. I really can not express enough how grateful we are to Matt for all his help in making our day so so special. My husband had a very particular vision of us in the trees and our guests walking through them to our ceremony site, our guests have not stopped talking about how magical that walk was. If you’re looking for something that’s not classically coastal we highly recommend Cunningham Farm. We did our rehearsal dinner in a different barn with a very traditional lobster bake and it was such a hit with our out of town family! One thing we loved about Cunningham Farm is that while it’s not coastal, you can bring a lot of Maine authenticity in the decor and style and food served. We were going for a more retro/funky maximalist feel and we were able to execute that with all three of the barns. It’s certainly a spot where you can build your own vision! We feel so lucky to have been able to work with Matt and Abby and to have had our wedding at such a beautiful place!

We could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding. We got married at Cunningham Farm a few weeks ago, and loved everything about the process of working with Matt and Abby! The venue is absolutely beautiful. The setting was absolutely beautiful, creating the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and reception, and our guests are still talking about how stunning everything was. What truly made the experience exceptional was working with the Cunningham farm team! From day 1 they were so kind, organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day successful. On the day of the wedding, despite last minute changes to the ceremony due to the weather, Matt was so helpful and accommodating, which helped everything run smoothly. We could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding and would wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful location and an outstanding experience. Thank you for helping make our wedding day one of the happiest days of our lives!

Our wedding was absolutely perfect at Cunningham Farm. Every moment felt like a dream. Matt and Abby's property is just magical, and they were so helpful through everything. The fa...

ct that you get the venue the entire weekend was a huge deciding factor for us. Setting up the venue Friday with our families and packing everything up when the weekend was over Sunday were some of our favorite memories. We made us of all 3 barns at the barns at the property, and the getting ready suite was perfect. I cannot say enough good things about this venue. Thank you to Matt & Abby for coming into our lives and making our wedding more than we ever dreamed it could be.

Cunningham Farm Events was the perfect spot for our wedding. When we first toured the venue last year, we knew it we wanted to have our wedding there. Not only does it look exactly...

like the pictures, but you truly have access to the entire property. We used one of the barns for our rehearsal dinner and had lawn games going on outside. Matt was so helpful in making sure that we had everything we needed, and he really encouraged us to spend as much time on the property as we wanted. All of our vendors lit up when we told them we were having our wedding there & each spoke about how incredible Matt & Abby are. They truly truly care about you having your dream wedding here, and I cannot recommend them enough!

Sadie J

We got married at Cunningham Farm in August and had the perfect wedding weekend. Cunningham was the first of many venues we looked at, yet we continued to come back to it. The venu...

e was able to accommodate our 170-guest wedding with no problem. We were in awe of the grounds, the barns, and the endless possibilities to create the space into what we wanted for our wedding day. We didn't need to bring in a tent (a big draw) and still had a backup rain plan if needed. What kept us coming back to Cunningham was also Matt and Abby. We can't say enough good things about them (and neither can our families!). They were responsive, flexible, and beyond helpful with answering my many random and oddly specific questions with no concern. It's clear that Matt and Abby love - and thrive - at what they do. Having vendors like Matt and Abby made the wedding planning process so smooth because of their attention to detail and goal of helping us carry out the wedding we planned. You cannot go wrong with getting married at Cunningham Farm and working with Matt and Abby. I wish we could do it all over again.

Sarah F

We had our wedding at Cunningham Farm in July and couldn't have asked for a better venue for so many reasons! We looked at many barn venues across Maine that could accommodate 150...

+ guests and easily made the choice to come to Cunningham Farm due to the stunning grounds as well as our connection with Matt and Abby. We bonded with them over our love of New England and being outdoors. It was evident from the first time we met them how much they care for their property and their strong desire to make sure everyone has the day that they envision. In fact, we called Matt out of the blue one day to take one final look at the venue before making a decision and he allowed us to come take a look again without him even being home. We couldn't have asked for better people to work with - they answered any question we had within days, provided us with a list of local babysitters for our guests, were involved in every aspect the day of the wedding to ensure things ran smoothly, and were flexible with when we picked things up. They are just great people who want everyone to have the best day that they have envisioned. As for the property itself, it is perfect. It provides three rustic, but maintained, barns of different sizes. The main barn has a beautifully renovated bar and restrooms. The grounds are perfectly manicured with the ceremony space under apple trees and overlooking a pond. Behind the pond is truly an outdoor paradise with a walkway through a field of trees offering a stunning backdrop for photos. We had our dream wedding thanks to Cunningham Farm, Matt, and Abby!

The first vendor we booked was Cunningham Farm and it was one of the best choices we made throughout our entire wedding process. Matt and Abby were amazingly supportive and communi...

cative throughout the entire process, including doing walk-throughs and helping us envision what the wedding day was going to look like. Matt helped us all wedding weekend with making sure everything went how we hoped it would. They were so flexible and understanding as we sorted through the craziness that can ensue in the 24-48 hours before the big day. The venue is absolutely stunning, and it was the perfect location for a couple looking to have both an indoor and outdoor option for the wedding. The multiple barns allowed for an added "rain plan" built right into the weekend, and it also made each element of the wedding feel like they were their own special destination - between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. The tree farm yielded the greatest photos we have ever had taken of us and those photos will be found in our home for years and years to come. I would recommend Cunningham to anyone and everyone!

me of year. The versatility of multiple barns made the day so special and gave us lots of options. The bridal suite is so well equipped- -our vendors said it was one of the best. And the covered catering area made it really easy on our catering staff. Our vendors were happy, our guests were happy, and we were thrilled. Cannot recommend Cunningham Farm enough.

d at many barn venue options in Maine and Cunningham stood out for their facilities (three beautiful barns, bathrooms, indoor catering area), landscape, and responsiveness from the owners. The weather is always a toss up at the end of October but we were confident in our rain backup plan because Cunningham's three barns offer a variety of options. We 1000% recommend Cunningham Farm!

Sarah M

Most beautiful venue! We struck gold with the weather and are so thankful to the wedding gods for it. The grounds are still splendid without the sunshine. Matt and Abby are very r...

esponsive and communicative throughout the entire wedding planning process. I went into planning anticipating not going in the direction where we would need to bring every little thing into the venue but given how much we loved Cunningham Farms, it was worth it! Amassing an A+ vendor team was key but Matt and Abbie were the best hosts for our wedding day and making it the most spectacular day all around.

working with Matt an Abby leading up to and on the day, we are so glad we chose Cunningham. The setting is truly stunning and minimizes the need for extensive decor and florals. The space is flexible which was a comfort given the compound uncertainty of weather and a pandemic. We ended up having over 100 guests, but we were confident that the venue would've worked for any size. The bridal suite, bar and bathrooms were comfortable and air conditioned, which made for a great balance of rustic charm and creature comforts. Our wedding was on a hot August day, but with the breeze and extra fans that Matt and Abby brough onsite, it was super comfortable. Matt and Abby were also great about letting us come and go to work on florals, drop things off etc. Would recommend Cunningham to anyone looking for the ideal Maine wedding venue.

Rykiel K

stop talking about how special the wedding venue was and were constantly wowed by the authentic Maine forest surrounding. The new owners, Matt and Abby, were incredibly responsive, helpful, and flexible when we needed help. We had catered food for the bridal suite the morning of but they forgot to include silverware! Matt ran out personally and got us some. They made the wedding venue feel really personal for the day, not just another hotel ballroom. The barns offer unique ways to make your wedding truly yours. We used the smaller barn for the cocktail hour which was fun to have people milling about, then fit 150 people for a seated dinner reception and a big band and dance floor! Tons of space, tons of dancing, and beautiful brand new bathrooms and bar off to the side. It really is a special location to have a wedding and your guests will truly be wowed.

e so easy to work with and we are so appreciative that they hosted us. In looking for a venue, we deliberately chose a venue that had an answer to all of our potential fears and concerns. We were at ease as soon as we spoke with Matt and Abby about our wedding plans. Bonus -- Cunningham Farm has a built-in rain plan with the multiple barns, and that was a huge plus for us. Highly highly recommend!!

Having our wedding celebration at Cunningham Farms was the best decision we made for our wedding. First off, the property itself is well-maintained and taken care of by the owners ...

Matt & Abby. They are both also extremely dedicated to making sure that your wedding is exactly how you envisioned it. They are communicative, reliable, and flexible with all plans. It was the perfect venue to represent the mix of our Maine and Indian cultural backgrounds due to the landscape and flexibility of making it our own for the day. Definitely recommend hosting your celebration here!

Carlee M

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Cunningham Farm! We fell in love with this venue via facetime as we had covid during our scheduled site visit! We went in person as ...

soon as we were out of quarantine and knew it was the perfect spot. We worked with Abbi and Tanner at the beginning and then ownership changed and we worked with Abby and Matt. Both were so great to work with and responded so quickly to any questions we had. Matt was available all throughout the weekend incase we had any questions or needed help with anything. Our biggest concern when choosing a venue was that we had a space for an indoor ceremony incase of rain. Fortunately, we only had rain at the rehearsal and were able to have the ceremony outside! We loved that we had the bridal suite for the girls and the Carriage Barn for the groomsmen to get ready. It's the perfect venue for a Maine Wedding!!

so helpful and accommodating from the moment we expressed interest in seeing the venue to wedding weekend. They provided guidance in hiring the rest of our vendor team, answered our (many) questions, helped us and our vendors with any issues while we were onsite, and overall made the experience that much more magical. We could not imagine our wedding anywhere else.

hed out because I had seen an Instagram post on Cunningham Farm's page of someones wedding day decor with some bistro lights that I really loved - Abbi then reached out to the bride to ask where the lights were from and sent me the exact specifications - they were the perfect addition to our wedding day! It was so nice that she went above and beyond to help me with that information. Tanner is so cool and he was great whenever we went to our site visits. He had awesome suggestions especially in terms of how other couples had done things in the past, which made some decisions a lot easier to make since he could paint a nice picture of how certain moments would flow. It rained on our wedding day but it certainly did not take away of the beauty of Cunningham Farm, in fact I think it made it that much more memorable. We utilized the Hay Barn for our Ceremony and the Dairy Barn for our reception - they were both absolutely perfect! This is a gorgeous venue and you'll have an incredible team to work with!

on your wedding day was certainly crazy, but your attitude and ability to roll with it really stood out to the vendor team (plus those who dare to venture out in the rain are rewarded with amazing photos!!) We’re beyond happy that you and Sean were finally able to celebrate from your 2020 postponement, but we’re honestly a little sad that you’ll no longer be a couple we get to work with!

Cunningham Farm was the ideal setting for our wedding in early October. The property is stunning and beautifully maintained, as is each of the three barns onsite. It was really spe...

cial to be able to create distinct spaces for cocktails and dinner/dancing and our guests appreciated having the variety throughout the evening. Fortunately we ended up with a perfect Maine fall day and were able to have our ceremony outside using Cunningham's arbor and bench seating, but knowing that we could use one of the barns for the ceremony if the weather didn't cooperate was a huge stress-reliever during the wedding planning process. We loved doing our first look in the woods next door, which were beautiful and private, and the getting-ready suite is absolutely gorgeous - the perfect place for day-of preparations. Abbi and Tanner were lovely to work with and were very generous with their time throughout the planning process. We really appreciated how responsive they were and their guidance on how to put things together. We highly recommend Cunningham Farm to anyone who's looking for a beautiful barn wedding in Maine!

ed on July 20, 2019, one of the hottest days of the summer, and the day was perfect. We had so much space to spread out with our events of the day. The little carriage barn was perfect for the groomsmen to enjoy and get ready in while the laddies got ready in the something blue suite. The medium barn known as the hay barn, hosted our cocktail hour and desserts. and the largest barn, Dairy barn, was where our dinner took place. We were able to create our perfect dream in all of these special and unique areas. The best part of it all, the owners Abbi and Tanner. They simply were the best! They took care of us every step of the way making sure we could carry out every detail we ever dreamed of having. They made us feel right at home and we are forever thankful of them sharing their special venue with us. We highly recommend this venue for all of the fantastic aspects that go into making the best wedding weekend possible.

Our families cannot even begin to express how great our experience with Cunningham Farm was for our June wedding. For starters, the venue is absolutely stunning. If you have not vi...

sited Cunningham Farm, even just driving by will tell you everything you need to know. An adorable farmhouse with three stunning barns (all three available for you to use during your event) on vast acres of perfectly manicured lawns and trees. Out behind the property is a pond and a tree farm that make for amazing photo opportunities (check their instagram for proof). Make this venue your first tour (like I did) and no other venue will come close. In addition, both of the venue owners are extremely nice and personable. Abbi was always easy to communicate with throughout the entire process and her husband, Tanner, frequently checked in during the wedding weekend to help with set-up, moving tables, etc. Our wedding day was completely perfect thanks to the help of Abbi and Tanner and the natural beauty of the venue was the talk of the night among our guests. This venue has my highest recommendation and is worth the visit . I promise - you will not be disappointed!

The view is gorgeous from anywhere on the property (including inside the barns) and beautiful photo opportunities are everywhere! Abbi and Tanner were a dream to work with and always available to lend a hand, answer a question or even give advice. Choosing the venue is such a big part of the wedding planning process, and you will not be disappointed if you choose Cunningham Farm! We can’t say enough great things!
