SaltWater Fields is an absolute dream come true. The moment my husband and I walked in for our tour, we immediately were hit with that "wow" factor. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, not to mention all the antique and rustic decor around, which was perfect for pictures! You don't even need to buy decorations, the natural beauty of this place is impeccable.
Tina and Jimmy were amazing, as well as the staff. They were super professional, and were very helpful in making sure our day was as perfect as it could be. We are still getting compliments from our guests just how beautiful the venue was. We would choose it again in a heartbeat and recommend this venue to everyone! Thank you all at SWF for making our special day so perfect!
Our experience at SaltWater Fields was nothing short of magical. If you are looking for that perfect blend of rustic charm and breathtaking coastal Maine, look no further. This is the place.
From the moment of our first virtual tour, we knew it was “the one.” The grounds are impeccably maintained, offering a stunning variety of backdrops for photos. It felt like its own private world.
The barn strikes the perfect balance between spacious and intimate. The natural wood, the high ceilings, and the lighting created an atmosphere that was warm, romantic, and inviting.
But what truly sets SaltWater Fields apart is the team. Tina, James, and staff went above and beyond to make us feel special. They were responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about making our day unique. On the day of the wedding, everything ran like clockwork - we didn’t have to worry about a single thing.
To any couples venue hunting: book this place. It was the best decision we made for our big day!

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.
