We got married at the beginning of September at IPECC/Fernwood Cove and it was absolutely best weekend of our lives! It was the perfect destination and we truly felt like we were a...
t summer camp with all of our friends and family. I wish I could have been a guest and the bride all at the same time to experience both sides of the weekend. We knew we wanted a place where our guests could stay on site and not worry about shuttling around the state of Maine all weekend and we are thrilled we chose IPECC. Chef Keith was spectacular and created our vision for the food experience that weekend. I have never heard better remarks about food from a wedding EVER. People are still texting me raving about the food (lobster stew especially) almost 2 months after the wedding. Since my husband and I had never planned an entire weekend camp event for 120 people, what really made our experience even possible was Caroline, our wedding coordinator/day of planner through camp. She saved me from multiple meltdowns during the planning process and also day of! Her knowledge of how to make guests feel comfortable at camp, down to what specific cabins we should choose for certain groups was incredibly needed. Also shuttling me around in the golf cart because I was hot and reading my mind during stressful situations was the cherry on top. I couldn't recommend Caroline enough when booking your wedding at IPECC!! Overall, it was the most spectacular weekend and I could not recommend it enough! Camp is also stunning so our professional pictures (our wedding photographer was @allisonbrantleyphoto) and pictures we took throughout the weekend all were amazing.
A truly special venue. The outdoor space combined with spacious, beautiful indoor spaces makes this the perfect location for a wedding. We had my daughter's wedding outside but i...
f weather had been a problem, we would have been just as happy to move it indoors in front of the gorgeous stone fireplace in The Chick. Chef Keith was friendly and helpful all along the way. We were THRILLED with hors d'oeuvres and dinner. And all this for a very, very reasonable price. Our guests raved about the location. Thank you for making my daughter's wedding dreams come true!
My husband and I just got married here this past weekend, 9/3/22. It was absolutely amazing! We had the perfect weather so we had the ceremony down on the lakefront, then had din...
ner in the dining hall (The Feeder) and had the reception in a different building (The Chick) which is right next to the dining hall. This building was also my backup plan for an indoor ceremony if the weather didn’t permit us to have it outdoors, it has a gorgeous stone fireplace! The chef catered our reception meal which was Italian pastas, he also allowed us to borrow all of the linens for the tables, and all of the place settings (glasses, silverware, charger plates, and regular plates) free of charge. The entire staff was amazing and very willing to work with us as far as budget and figuring out something we could afford. The day of the wedding they were available if we needed anything but also left us alone to just do our thing and enjoy the day. All of our guests raved about how amazing the space was and how wonderful the food was. We also loved the fact that we were able to make a full weekend out of it so we could spend more time with our guests. I will absolutely be recommending this space to anyone that asks!
