SaltWater Fields Wedding & Event Barn in South Thomaston, ME, is Maine's only destination barn on the ocean. That means here, newlyweds won't have to choose between a barn and the sea; they can have both. This stunning venue offers couples a unique blend of a rustic and luxurious seaside atmosphere with overnight accommodations included. Just over three miles from Rockland, this eight-acre oceanfront property boasts ample ceremony and reception space and remarkable photography opportunities.
Owners Tina and Jimmy Hendricks are a married duo who searched for a seaside barn to renew their vows. After not finding a venue that suits their wishes, they elected to build it and now offer other couples a romantic site to exchange vows and begin their magical adventure into marriage. SaltWater Fields Wedding & Event Barn is an all-season venue with controlled temperatures for convenient comfort all year round. With space for up to 200 guests, couples can have the wedding of their dreams surrounded by their friends and family.
Couples can use two spacious wedding suites as get-ready rooms, providing a private space for preparations and touch-ups throughout the day. The picturesque surroundings offer a choice of ceremony sites, allowing newlyweds to exchange vows indoors or outdoors. The barn provides a stunning space for a sit-down meal and dancing far into the night. Antique furniture and sparkling glass chandeliers add to the romance and magic of the atmosphere. Newlyweds can avail of a selection of rental services for their event, including tables, chairs, benches, stemware, silverware, antique props, linens, and more. Couples and a number of their attendees can also avail of various on-site accommodation options, including a guest house and seasonal Glamping tents that each sleep 10 people.

Event management and the ocean run deep in my veins. For most of my adult life, I've been a coordinator and manager of events of all kinds. No matter what the event, the primary needs are the same, making the transition to weddings in 2020 a breeze. I'm here to help with all of your wedding needs, along with a family of staff equally as motivated as I am to make your dreams come true.
I was born in Bar Harbor, Maine. The Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island were my playgrounds. I'm eager to share my love for the ocean with you. I'm a former Mrs. Maine America, 2011, public health speaker, emcee, director of multiple successful road races(The Spooky 5k & It’s 5 O’clock Somewhere 5k), princess tea parties, and effectively managed a large dental practice in Falmouth for nearly ten years. I spent many years as an ambassador for Habitat for Humanity, March of Dimes, and drug addiction management support programs with my not-for-profit endeavor, Lipgloss4Lives. My current passions include creating the Event Barn of your dreams, writing fiction & non-fiction novels & poetry, and spending time with my family and bulldog.

We had the absolute best experience hosting our wedding reception at SaltWater Fields! From the moment we toured the space, we knew it was the perfect fit. The venue is stunning—beautifully maintained, full of charm, and provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration.
The staff went above and beyond to make our day feel effortless. They were organized, attentive, and genuinely cared about making everything run smoothly. From setup to cleanup, everything was handled with such professionalism and kindness.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the space, the ambiance, and how seamless everything felt. We felt completely supported throughout the planning process and on the big day itself.
If you're looking for a venue that’s not only gorgeous but also comes with an incredible team who will take amazing care of you, look no further than SaltWater Fields. We are so grateful to have celebrated such a special day there!

We got married at SaltWater Fields on October 5, 2024 and the entire weekend was perfect! We had both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding at the barn and they could not have gone any better. From the beautiful decor and outdoor views to the amazing staff, SaltWater Fields has it all. We were able to save a lot of money because of their large inventory which was a major plus. We also hired Tina to be our coordinator and she was phenomenal! I cannot imagine what it would have been like without her help. She was around and available practically all day Friday and Saturday and having her to assist was a game changer. Everything went as scheduled and we had no delays, plus she is incredibly kind! My bridesmaids had planned to make breakfast the morning of but ran out of time, so Tina took over without anyone even asking to ensure we were all able to get something to eat the day of the wedding. She also handled our ceremony rehearsal which we were all very thankful for as we had no idea what we were doing. Our families and wedding party are so appreciative of all of her help, as well as Jimmy's and the rest of the SWF crew. You can see all of the hard work and dedication they put in to creating such a beautiful venue and it has paid off. We are still receiving comments about how great the wedding was, how much everyone loved the space and how kind the team was. I felt extremely calm the day of which I was not expecting, and I attribute that largely to all of the help we received. From setup to clean up to everything in between, there was always someone around ready to assist. I also recommend using their bar services with On the Rocks, they helped us choose a selection that our guests would enjoy and it required very little work on our end! We were also very thankful to have the guest house available to us. We were able to spend even more time with our friends who we don't get to see very often and it was the cherry on top of the already amazing weekend. I could go on and on, but overall, I highly recommend having your wedding or any event here!! It was an incredible experience from start to finish and I would not have changed a thing. Thank you Tina, Jimmy and the rest of the team for helping make this the best weekend of our lives!!!
