Rustic Venue Hidden Within The Countryside

Hidden away in the Maine countryside, the property features 60 acres of rolling meadows, magnificent pines, a sandy beach waterfront, and panoramic views of peaceful nature. This family-owned business has provided personalized, high-quality service for all types of events for over 50 years.
Each event space at Spring Hill is designed to be rustic yet modern, and the onsite facilities were made to be spacious and warm. Ceremonies and receptions of all sizes can be held on the lawn for an outdoor event. For an indoor occasion, their immense ballroom boasts 30-foot-high cathedral ceilings, oak hardwood flooring, plenty of natural lighting, and countryside views. With a large arched window on the front wall, couples can celebrate watching the sunset turn into night. At the back of the room are two French doors that lead out onto a deck and an adjoining sunroom that looks out on the water. It can comfortably accommodate up to 200 guests for a grand celebration.
The staff at Spring Hill will ensure that everything, from the event spaces to the delicious menu, is custom-tailored to fit your vision. If desired, couples can arrive for their special day in a horse-drawn carriage or by helicopter, which has been requested before. They can also help to arrange outdoor musicians, wedding tents, and other special requests. Their in-house chefs will help you craft a custom menu to suit your tastes. They are even willing to incorporate family recipe favorites for a personalized touch. Spring Hill provides the perfect backdrop with breathtaking views for any dream wedding day.

or Jodie was incredible and did a perfect job decorating the space and making sure that the event ran smoothly. She was so attentive to every detail. The food was delicious and there are so many options. One aspect we loved was that by doing the buffet our guests could go back through the line multiple times so everyone was stuffed. In short my fiancé and I are so thankful that we picked Spring Hill

emony location is beautiful and is shaded by 4 large trees which covers all of your guests, and allows for good photos/videos for the bride and groom. We chose to do the reception inside, in the AC, and we were able to decorate to make the venue feel even more special! Spring Hill also has many decorations that you can borrow! The menu was amazing and we got to choose from several options that fit within our budget. We also had our rehearsal dinner the Friday before our wedding and Spring Hill catered that as well. We could not be happier with the venue and the people that make this place so special! Best day ever!!

Bottom Line: we had an absolutely perfect wedding day, but if we could go back in time, we would have chosen a different venue.
The great things: beauty of the outdoor space, fo...
od was amazing, they stocked a specific beer for us! They were great day-of, especially when it came to making last-minute decisions about weather. They prepared a specific meal just for us and they were FANTASTIC about ensuring our event was 1000% nut-free.
The parts of our experience that were not so great and we hope future couples don’t encounter:
Poor communication & organization: We felt like we had to hash out the same details of our wedding day multiple times with the coordinator. It was as if nothing was written down. We booked this venue over a year out from our wedding day and they needed to “firm up” details we had already decided on with them up to 3 days before our big day. One concrete example of this is that we had made a decision about how to operate the bar with a prepaid tab months in advance. Then, the venue owner talked us into doing it a different way, only for the coordinator to tell us they can’t do it that way and treated us as if we were being unreasonable after it was them that suggested it to begin with. Another example came when final payment was due. We had to prompt them for our final invoice, then it was calculated incorrectly which we caught and asked to be corrected, and then they told us we could mail in a personal check only for them to get the check and say they can’t accept it and to bring a bank check. A third example was the morning after the wedding, we had already worked out prior that we would come before noon to collect our items. That morning, the coordinator changed it to between 1pm and 2pm. We got there right at 1pm. No one was there to let us in until 1:30pm and we were stranded outside, just waiting. There are more instances of poor communication and organization, but these were the largest issues. There were multiple occasions where we felt we were treated like a nuisance simply because we advocated for ourselves.
Being nickel and dimed: This venue seemed like such a great value when we first found it! After all was said and done, we ended up paying just as much as the “more expensive” venues. Examples: we paid a venue fee that included a ceremony space, but did not include chairs. We had to pay per chair so our guests had somewhere to sit for our ceremony. The venue builds in a ridiculously high required “service fee” percentage that they told us doesn’t even cover server gratuity. Future couples should be sure to read the fine print and calculate all costs before deciding if this venue is worth it. It left a bad taste in our mouths.
Bar closed early: Our bar closed 1.5 hours before the end of our event. When we asked why it was closing, we were lied to. They told us that the bar closes after 4.5 hours. This time frame went against our contract and we even paid extra to extend our event longer. We had to follow up with them after the wedding to figure out why the bar closed early. They had the right to close our bar early, but they lied to us that night about why and then we had to follow up with them, whereas it should have been the other way around.
All in all, we recommend finding a venue that treats their clients like people planning a really important and wonderful day, and not like paychecks who shouldn’t ask for or question anything.

he VERY BEST price we could possibly find. We felt we were getting high quality service at much lower prices than expected.
If you end up going with this venue, make sure to discuss all details and have the staff at Spring Hill meet with all of your other vendors (such as wedding coordinator, decoration coordinator, etc.) as we had a few last-minute glitches that were stressful to solve when it was crunch time. Spring Hill worked their hardest to accommodate us, but it would have been better for the bride and groom to have all of this done prior to avoid the stress! Just a friendly recommendation, but again, we would HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone and everyone.
Thank you!

They had matching decorations for our theme and were able to make sure the ceremony and reception went off without a hitch. The food was a huge hit with our guests and they made sure to serve us first so we were actually able to eat before making the rounds with our guests. The property is beautiful as well, and perfect for photos! I definitely recommend them for your wedding needs.

g Hill is a beautiful venue but what made it the perfect place for our wedding was the Staff- namely, Mindy. She has the kind of personality where she conveys that she knows what she's doing but in the most friendly way. Mindy made sure we were on track from day one of planning to days after the wedding occurred.
The room was set up beautifully, and our food was delicious. The chef accommodated my need for Gluten Free (even making a regular and GF mac and cheese- my favorite!).
I can't say enough good things about Spring Hill and would get married there again tomorrow if I could!

We had our ceremony & reception there. The hall is very spacious, the food is AWARD WINNING, staff is very friendly, and the PRICE...we searched over a dozen venues in the area, and NO one could beat them. I would recommend Spring Hill to ANYONE! We had a few guests who are just recently engaged, and by the following week; they booked their wedding day at Spring Hill. Its that good!

quick to get back to any questions we had, Maria, our chef was amazing with personalizing our food and Jenn, who was overseeing the evening was so attentive. The night was perfect. The only advice I have to any couples that are interested in having the bar open is to check to see how many bartenders they will have on that night. We had quite the line in the beginning of the evening.
