It is a gorgeous venue!
We had our wedding at Ktaadn Resorts in June 2024. Julie was our wedding coordinator, and she was professional and supportive. We couldn't have chosen a better place. Excellent service and wonderful amenities. We received many compliments on the food and venue. Our guests expressed their satisfaction with the lodgings. They enjoyed kayaking, hiking, and exploring nature.
Ktaadn Resorts is an excellent wedding venue if you want everyone to stay in the same location and have the most enjoyable weekend-long party.
On Friday night, we had a reservation for the rehearsal dinner at River Drivers Restaurant in the resort with family and friends. The staff were very kind and helpful. Some of our friends traveled from different states and arrived late for dinner. Julie was aware that our wedding party planned to visit the Knife Edge Brewing after dinner. She communicated with the team and the brewer to extend the closing time by one hour to ensure our guests had enough time to enjoy the night. Everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much to the entire team for making our wedding day so memorable!

I can’t even begin to tell you how helpful Julie was in the process of booking our wedding and stay there. The skies were so clear on our wedding day so we were very lucky to have the most gorgeous view of ktàtən (Katahdin). My wife is Penobscot and Passamaquoddy (Wabanaki) and it meant so much to both of us to be able to have our ceremony on such sacred land. The staff were also wonderful throughout the resort. LGBTQ friendly as well.

The NEOC was everything we could have dreamed for a wedding venue. The staff were so kind, attentive, and overall amazing. The food and drinks were incredible and the location, speaks for itself! NEOC offered us cabin/mountain outdoor wedding of our dreams without feeling too upscale or too rugged. It was the perfect balance for us as natural lovers and to invite our family and guests to! Thank you for an amazing experience NEOC!

Ktaadn Resorts is hands down the best wedding venue! My husband and I got married here at the end of June 2023! We had both our ceremony and reception up at the Event Center. Shorey and Julie are the most amazing coordinators. They are both so knowledgeable and were able to help make our wedding dreams come true. Not only them, but the whole staff were so welcoming to us and all our guests. They all went above and beyond to ensure the day went by beautifully and smoothly. I seriously could not get over how breathtaking and stunning the views were at both the Event Center and down at The Point. We were also able to have several of our guests coming from out of town stay close by in the cabins onsite. Our guests raved about all the amenities offered in their cabins, as well as on the property! I loved having my guests be able to make a fun and adventure filled trip out of our wedding weekend! Ktaadn Resorts provided us with such a premier experience and I could not have picked a better place to get married at! 🤍

We had the absolute best experience getting married at NEOC. We came for a tour about a year before our wedding date, and we were able to choose a weekend for the following fall where we could place a hold on all of NEOC's guest cabins. Over the following year, working with Julie and the entire NEOC staff was a smooth and joyful process.
Julie and her team were committed to making every detail of our weekend perfect, and the whole staff went above and beyond to make our guests (and us!) feel welcomed and celebrated. We held Friday evening welcome drinks at Knife Edge, where Julie herself scooped Giffords ice cream and Maine blueberry sauce. On Saturday morning, we had a fun run for our guests on the road, with granola bars outside River Drivers afterwards. Our ceremony was on the Point, and we made a last minute weather decision to move cocktail/mocktail hour up to the Event Center, where our reception was, as well.
The whole day/weekend was just magical, made so by the people, the place, and the warmth and joy that emanated from both. I am so glad we found NEOC; having grown up in the Bangor area, it was important to me and my spouse that we found a place that felt authentically like the Maine we know and love.
I would get married at NEOC a million times over!
