The 1774 Inn

We got married at the 1774 Inn a few weeks ago, and it was the most wonderful weekend. We were very grateful to spend multiple days at the Inn with our family and friends leading up to the wedding and then welcome everyone else on the day of the wedding. The set up of the venue worked perfectly for our wedding - ceremony out on the lawn, cocktail hour on the pebble patio, dinner under a tent and dancing in the barn. Marianne was the highlight of the planning process, and Sarah was very welcoming and helpful throughout the weekend. All of the vendors we worked with expressed excitement to have a reason to come to the 1774 Inn. We're trying to find an excuse to go back because we had such a great time! I would highly recommend this wedding venue - you will not regret it!

I could not have imagined a more perfect wedding. I found this venue because I knew I wanted to get married in Phippsburg, a town that has provided me with the greatest memories of summer. Marianne put me in contact with Lana, who ended up being our coordinator. She is a kind soul who truly cares about getting to know her clients, and she consistently checked in to make sure that we were happy and had everything ready. There were many signs that this venue was meant to be: from the bird life to Comet (German shorthaired pointer) to Sarah being from Texas. We ended up hogging Comet for our stay. Amongst the stress that comes with planning a wedding in five months, all of my anxiety dissipated when I was on this property. It was hard to leave. Lana reassured us that we could return to stay during weeknights or in the off-season, which made saying "goodbye" a bit easier. However, I left my wedding weekend feeling like I had another family at the 1774 Inn: Lana, Sarah, Marianne, and Comet. In addition, with my husband originally from Wisconsin, this venue was a perfect way to celebrate because the whole family could stay on the property for our wedding weekend. His aunts and uncles rented the AirBnB across the street as well. This was the perfect wedding weekend, filled with love and togetherness. Thank you, 1774 Inn.

The 1774 in was the perfect setting for a beautiful and joyful wedding for our daughter earlier this month. My daughter and her fiancé wanted a micro wedding with only immediate family and this venue was absolutely amazing. Maryanne made sure both the planning and execution for the three days we spent at the Inn were seamless; she made us feel right at home to an extent I would not have even imagined. The charming and comfortable rooms accommodated all of us beautifully; the hospitality and warmth displayed throughout our stay harmonized with the stunning beauty of the setting. Maryanne also served as the officiant for the wedding ceremony. She did a superb job! I would rate it at an 11 out of 10 and we couldn’t have been happier She masterfully incorporated what she had learned from her preparation time with a couple into the ceremony. We were delighted with everything about the 1774 Inn and we are interested in additional opportunities to return .

We chose the 1774 Inn in large part because of our experience on our first visit. We got to meet Marianne, our eventual wedding coordinator, and one of the owners, Stuart. The first thing that we noticed about the Inn is the obvious, the setting is beautiful, and the vibe is wonderfully calming. We came to realize so much more about the Inn during the following two years we spent planning our wedding. The owners are incredibly kind and down to earth. Throughout our entire experience Sarah and Stuart (the owners) kept working on the Inn, creating the Hayloft suite and retouching many of the rooms at the Inn with their unique sense of style and quality. Our experience in planning the wedding and working with the Inn could not have been better. Marianne and the owners have extensive experience with vendors in the area and were an instrumental resource for us as we chose our perfect vendor team. The 1774 Inn was our first decision in planning our wedding and we could not have chosen a more wonderful group of people to work with. That became very evident on our wedding day. It was perfect. We got to experience Kindness Day in Bath, fireworks on the beach at Popham that happily coincided with our rehearsal dinner, Sarah’s delicious breakfast on the morning of our wedding, and a wonderful familial atmosphere at the Inn in the days leading up to our wedding. A wedding at the 1774 Inn has all the wonderful photographic and experiential benefits of a destination wedding as well as the feel of a backyard wedding with family you haven’t seen for a long time and can’t wait to catch up with. We loved every second of our stay and highly recommend making use of the outdoor firepit, Popham beach and the surrounding Bath area, as well as the ability to spend the morning after the wedding at the 1774 Inn. We were initially planning on leaving our wedding on our wedding night but were convinced to stay the night at the Inn and have breakfast with our wedding party and family members on Sunday morning. It was the perfect decision for us and is a wonderfully insightful benefit of the 1774 Inn. We truly cannot say a single bad thing about the Inn, and the people that work there. As a result of some unforeseen circumstances, we had to adjust the schedule of our wedding day slightly and make some other changes. Everyone at the Inn was super helpful, supportive, flexible, and put us at ease throughout the day. Everybody always says their wedding day was the best day ever. Ours truly was, and the people who made it possible at the 1774 Inn are people we will not only be forever grateful too, but they are also people we will think of from now on as close friends. You will not find this combination of scenic beauty, wonderful people, and historic awe anywhere else. We could not be happier with everything about our wedding experience with the 1774 Inn. -Marcus & Kim
