Harraseeket Inn

ing! Best venue and service!!

ings about the venue coordinator, Mara, who put so much work into making sure the day was perfect and was very accommodating especially with dietary restrictions. My flowers were gorgeous and the food was excellent. I'm so happy I chose to get married at the Harraseeket!!

n-traditional day on a Thursday in the beautiful spring of April and From start to finish, everything about this charming, historic property exceeded our expectations. The Inn's rich history and cozy New England atmosphere created a warm, inviting backdrop that made our special day truly memorable. The staff was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our guests felt welcomed and cared for. Their professionalism and genuine hospitality added a personal touch that made all the difference. The location is ideal, just a short stroll from Freeport's shops and restaurants, allowing our guests to explore and enjoy the area with ease. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, with lovely views and modern amenities like flat-screen TVs and refrigerators. We received countless compliments from our wedding guests on the delicious food served at The Porter Kitchen + Bar—the perfect blend of high quality and comfort. The full buffet breakfast and afternoon tea with live piano music were guest favorites and added an elegant touch to the overall experience. The Harraseeket Inn truly shines when it comes to hosting weddings and special events, offering not only beautiful surroundings but also a level of service and attention to detail that makes planning stress-free and joyful. We wholeheartedly recommend the Harraseeket Inn to any couple looking for a unique, welcoming, and unforgettable wedding venue.

ted the reception were incredibly professional and friendly. Leading up to the Big Day, Mara and Mike were incredibly patient, with us knit-picking details, and introduced us to sources of inspiration for decorative elements that had never occurred to us such as inspiration boards on pinterest for floral arrangements & examples from other ceremonies. Day-of we had a few snags that came up with the weather, and coordinating guests, but Mara facilitated solutions on the fly, and really went above and beyond our expectations by helping to corral guests, and helping to dry the brides dress due to the morning rain before the ceremony. The last stand-out thing I would like to mention, is that with all the craziness that is greeting family, having the actual ceremony, taking photos, and running off to the events of the reception; It can be hard to breath in the moment, just the two of you, and keep your energy up in the frenetic chaos. Mara was able to find the perfect moment after photos, prior to the reception where she was able to sequester us away with snacks from cocktail hour, where it could just be bride and groom for a few minutes to connect. Oh and I have to mention that all of our guest thought that the food from the reception and during cocktail hour was the best food they've had at any wedding.

eeket. They made everything so simple and easy. We are from Alabama and wanted to have a destination wedding with about 35 guests. Mara and the Harraseeket took care of everything for us and made it so we just had to show up! The event places that we chose were beautiful and perfectly decorated. The food and flowers were amazing. We really could not have asked for a more perfect event space! We are so appreciative of all the help that Mara and the staff at the Harraseeket offered us! We will be back! Many of our guests have told us they want to come back too!!

ridal get-ready suite was in the carriage house, a small pet-friendly accommodation just across from the Harraseeket. The ceremony was held in their studding back garden and patio. The site was peaceful and immaculately landscaped complete with stunning autumn decor, string lights, a garden fountain and waterfall, white ceremony chairs, and an arbor decorated by Harraseeket's florist Michael. We had a cocktail hour out on the patio/garden area with music and an outdoor bar. We then moved into their Maine Harvest room, also beautifully decorated and set with tablecloths, autumn-themed floral arrangements, and a small dance floor. The coordinator Jenn was wonderful doing song changes and announcements as needed. My guests were blown away by the food (herb-crusted haddock and Tuscan chicken), and the seafood appetizers. I would argue it was some of the best food I have had. The Harraseekett exceeded my expectations in creating a beautiful and meaningful experience for me and my guests. The coordinator, florist, front desk, and restaurant staff are extremely professional, well-organized, and accommodating. The hotel itself is a charming and historic building with so much character and beauty. I could not have asked for a better venue, and at an affordable price.

Every moment of our wedding weekend was perfect. The Harraseeket is a family and their team makes you feel like you belong there. Aside from handling almost every aspect of the planning process from caterer to floral and beyond, the Harraseeket stopped at nothing to ensure we had the best time that we could. They hosted our wedding of about 150 people with ease and we are still hearing from guests at how much they loved the inn, and how much fun they had at the wedding and in the town of Freeport! Our guests couldn’t stop raving at how wonderful the atmosphere was at the inn and at the wedding. This is truly a one stop shop that incorporates every wish that you would want on your wedding day. I could not recommend this inn more. It truly deserves far more than just a five star review. The team was accommodating, kind, and helped myself and my groom through every step of the planning process. I leaned on them throughout the day and everything was done with a smile and an enthusiasm that made you feel like the team truly wanted you to be happy. The entire wedding day never felt rushed and the events team kept their cool even when bustling my dress took a little longer than expected! The team never made you feel like you were behind schedule and everything was well executed. The floral arrangements were stunning and by far one of my favorite components. I also highly recommend you let the Inn bake your wedding cake! It was delicious. I cannot say enough nice things about the team here and the inviting, amazing atmosphere that is the Harraseeket Inn. Thank you.

ur guests were amazed at the quality and amount of food served, the AMAZING florals, and overall presentation of the venue. The staff stopped at NOTHING to ensure our day was PERFECT! And in the end it was not only the perfect day, but completely magical. This is all thanks to the top notch service the Harraseeket provides. You just can’t get this high quality service anywhere anymore. The cost and quality made me feel like a Queen for the day and allowed us to provide nothing but the best for our guests. We will be back in the future to host events and relax in the gorgeous Harraseeket Inn.

erything ran smoothly on the actual day. The room was prepared for us, all the food was ready (and delicious!), and the staff were professional and friendly. Definitely recommended!

taff is so friendly, the food is incredible and they made our wedding the most beautiful day. I didn't have a care in the world on our wedding day because I knew the staff at the Inn would have everything handled perfectly. We can't wait to go back and stay at the inn as a married couple.

coordinator and she was phenomenal! Handled everything for us with ease, made our day so easy and really gave us time to enjoy ourselves. The food was out of this world and we received so many compliments from our guests. You build your own menu with whatever you want! We used the Harrsseeket's flower guy, Mike and the floral arrangements were even more beautiful than I could have imagined! If you are looking for a venue that provides 5 star service and makes the wedding planning a breeze I would highly recommend The Harraseeket Inn. They gave us our dream come true wedding day and we are so happy we chose them!

Maine, and has the best food you could ever image. You can customize your dinner menu to anything you want! My guests were AMAZED at how delicious the food was. We had both our ceremony and reception at this venue for our winter wedding and everything to the very detail was straight PERFECTION. The Inn helps with decor, flowers, wedding planning, a bridal suite, and more. Marcia really took care of everything and was down to every single detail. The generosity of the Inn for giving us amazing deals and assistance was more than I could ever ask for. The whole day I didn't have to think about the schedule or tasks because she was on top of everything. I cannot emphasis how great of experience it was working with the Harraseeket and the staff there. I think anyone who is getting married in Maine should consider this venue! The town of Freeport has a special place in our hearts forever.

ding planning not so stressful from 3,000 miles away. Brenda Downs was our coordinator. She was ah-mazing! From the very beginning she made the whole planning process a breeze. Great communication and answered all my crazy bride emails. The staff there is very friendly. They only do one wedding a weekend (which is nice) and they all knew who we were. Its a good "package deal" because the only other vendors we needed was, cake, DJ, and photography. We had the ceremony in the garden area. So beautiful. No need to decorate! Cocktail hour was both inside/outside. The reception was held in the ballroom which was a perfect size for our party of 95 guests. The food here is spectacular. Everyone was saying it was the best wedding food they've had. We were able to have basically anything we wanted on our buffet menu for one price. This place has a very quaint, New England-style vibe and downtown Freeport was great to explore for our our of town guests. The Harraseeket paid attention to the little details and did things we didn't have to ask for. I highly recommend the Harraseeket Inn! Check it out and ask for a tour. :)

accommodations. Truly a classic and concerned family owned INN. The gardens are the perfect setting for pictures of a lifetime. Thank you to the family!!!

h us even though we just walked in. She took such good care of us and helped us plan every step of the reception, from suggestions for table names instead of numbers, to helping us decide on the menu (while meeting with the head banquet chef). The entire reception she was always within arm's reach tending to us while also ensuring our parents and our guests were also doing well. I can't even begin to describe how Marcia and the Inn staff made us feel so special and well treated. The food was FANTASTIC. Most of the guests said it was the best wedding food they have ever had (lobster, prime rib, etc.). Also, I must mention the florist: Mike. The gardens all around the Harraseeket are gorgeous, and all the flowers inside the Inn are also his work. He meticulously planned gorgeous center pieces and bouquets for us, which complemented my colors perfectly. Even the photographer and hair stylist were commenting on how beautiful his flowers were! He even dropped off flowers at my home and at the church. If you want a wedding that your guests will be talking about for years, definitely consider this amazing venue with superb staff!

was big enough. We stopped at the Harraseeket on the way home just to "look". When we went through the garden, we were already loving it. We walked in to their big Casco Bay room unannounced. Marcia came down to meet us and had no idea we were coming or who we were. We immediately could tell she knew what she was doing and if we were to have our wedding here, she would make us happy. Throughout the process of the wedding, the ENTIRE staff at this venue were amazing. Mike, the florist, was simply amazing. His creativity was beyond words on what he was capable and made everything look gorgeous. Sacha, one of the chefs, during our food meeting was outstanding. I was getting so excited about the food and knew there was not going to be another wedding like it. From lobster, to prime rib, to imported Stracchino cheese to lobster chowder shooters...you name it, we had it! The staff here was simply incredible on what they were able to offer. We even had a make your own mashed potato and salad bar from local growers! On our wedding day, Marcia made very sure that we were happy the entire night. I had a headache pretty bad at one point...Marcia got some aspirin. She checked on my bride and me just the perfect amount to ensure we were ok. The gardens were so luscious and beautiful. They had yard games out during cocktail hour. I just cant even begin to say how amazing our day was. At the end of the night, we all went to the Broad Arrow Tavern attached and we had the firepit lit for us. Jeremy, the bartender was great and so nice. If you are looking to have an amazing wedding and throw all all the stops...consider this venue please. I promise you will not regret it if your wedding is anything like ours was!! We love the Harraseeket and cannot wait to come back for our anniversaries! Thank you to the entire staff!

had only seen the site once before the big day, I felt confident that the florist, chefs and coordinator understood our vision and goals. To say that the day came out as I had dreamed would be an understatement. Mike the florist went above and beyond and the food was delicious. We originally were put off by the town's 10 o'clock noise ordinance, but the Inn allowed for us to host an 'after party' in the Tavern and guests drank and mingled there as well as out by the fire pits after the reception. It worked out perfectly. Be aware that if you have your ceremony outside, you will be responsible for providing sound equipment (something we overlooked until last minute). I would highly recommend this venue, especially for out of towners who are looking for food, florist, etc all under one roof. Organization, communication and responsiveness were top notch. We were so happy with our big day and are thankful we chose the Harraseeket Inn.

t as stress-free as possible. The meeting with chef Eric was so much fun, and the food was outstanding. Our flowers by Mike were exactly what I had hoped for and more. It made everything so simple to have it all taken care of by the Inn, from our food, the flowers, the bar and even the honeymoon suite after the wedding. The best part about the whole thing was Ashleigh, our coordinator. She was there every step of the way, from answering every one of my emails to being present the whole weekend of our wedding just to make sure our day went smoothly! The Inn was so accommodating and made us feel special from the moment we arrived. Our day was perfect and it was all thanks to the Inn and the staff who helped put on our wedding. The Harraseeket is a great wedding venue and we could recommend it to anyone!

g the wedding weekend and the many months leading up to it), incredibly organized, always responded to our emails quickly, and really took care of us. The food at the wedding was great, the staff was friendly and professional, and the setting for the wedding in the outdoor garden was beautiful. The flowers, which were done by Mike at the inn, were also gorgeous. Most of our guests were from out of town and stayed at the inn, and they had fantastic experiences-- many of them want to come back again for another stay. The inn was especially great for our wedding because there is a pub, so our friends were able to spend time there both the night before the wedding, and after the wedding ended. Our guests also loved the afternoon tea, as well as the delicious buffet breakfast each morning. The Harraseeket was a wonderful place to get married and we would absolutely recommend it!!

ories. She became a dear friend in the process and we miss her already! Food is perfection and presentation amazing. This is the place to have your wedding reception in midcoast Maine!!

lvania, 9 hours away, I wasn't sure we could pull it off without major worry and headache. One phone call to the Harraseeket and honestly things became worry free. We worked with Carmen in the sales dept. However everyone that answered the phone knew what was going on. The staff guided us to various local businesses that could help us with our various wedding related needs such as hair, make up, massage and even a yoga instructor. This was a great help since we had to make all selections via long distance. Not to mention we didn't want to miss our Monday night Hatha yoga session. Once we were checked in the staff made us feel as though we were the only guests at the Inn. We stayed in the Thomas Moser suite. The mattress and the linens on the bed felt heavenly...as if I was sleeping in a cloud. Our ceremony in the Drawing room of the Harraseeket was simple elegance....no detail was overlooked. The staff even watched the weather conditions and kept us abreast of them as we planned our return trip to Pennsylvania. Honestly we couldn't have asked for a more supportive and worry free experience. We would recommend The Harraseeket Inn to anyone considering a Maine wedding.

ing much easier as I met with the Harraseeket and was done planning the reception. There weren't additionally meetings with a caterer, etc. The wedding itself was beautiful. They decorated everything beautifully. The food was absolutely delicious. Many guests told us it was the best food they'd had at a wedding and the best wedding they'd ever been to. Everyone had a great time. Working with the Harraseeket made the wedding planning much easier and more fun.

ers, waitstaff, housekeeping, etc. = they thought of everything we needed before we needed it. The wedding was supposed to be in the garden, but the weather was iffy and even the owner was on the computer monitoring the situation to see if we needed to move the event indoors. The reception was amazing - the food was delicious. Even planning the event was easy - their chef asked us what we wanted instead of presenting us with pre-made menus. Their in-house florist did an amazing job. all around it was wonderful.
