Where the Maine Woods and the Salt Marsh Meet
The Barn at Tidal Shore is a hidden gem tucked in the woods along a private lane in Kennebunkport, Maine. You and your guests will enjoy the best of both Maine worlds — the land and the sea. Hold your ceremony on the lawn overlooking the marsh and distant ocean and retreat to the barn for an intimate reception indoors and out. The Barn at Tidal Shore is truly a unique Maine wedding venue.
Imagine saying, "I do," where the rugged beauty of Maine's woodlands meets the tranquil charm of the salt marsh. Exchange vows on the sprawling lawn overlooking the marsh and the distant ocean, creating a breathtaking backdrop for your special moment. The marsh lot provides a serene space for an outdoor ceremony.
Celebrate your reception indoors in the authentic timber-framed barn, or take advantage of the beautiful outdoor spaces. The barn itself comfortably accommodates accommodate 130 guests for a sit-down dinner with plenty of room remaining for a dance floor. 140 is “cozy.” Up to 200 guests can be accommodated for a standing cocktail reception. A barn window showcases the beauty of the surrounding landscape, including the kitchen garden, potting shed, fire pit, woods, and marsh. Expandable with the barn's shed and south lawn, you can also add a tent for additional guests, your cocktail reception, or lounge seating. The furnished Potting Shed also offers a quiet and picturesque retreat for the bride and groom or bride to change from her gown to her party dress. Two fire pits provide cozy gatherings under the stars, one located directly in front of the barn and another by the main house. Rental of the Barn at Tidal Shore does not include tents, tables, chairs, table service, bar service, or food and beverage service.

- Cynthia and Bob DomineProprietorsCynthia and Bob were thrilled to host their daughter Paige's wedding at their home and barn on October 14, 2023. The ceremony on the yard looking out on the marsh and distant ocean was storybook perfect. The cocktail reception in front of the barn and kitchen garden and under the tent next to the barn was wonderful. And, dinner and dancing inside the barn was magical. Guests couldn't get over it all. And then they discovered the two firepits with s'mores waiting for them... It only made sense to create a wedding venue for a lucky few each year. Welcome to The Barn at Tidal Shore -- where the forest and the marsh meet. Host your wedding with us!
- Lana WescottExclusive PlannerCreating life’s precious memories, one celebration at a time… I approach each event keeping this question in mind: “Would I enjoy being a guest here?” Beginning my career as an intern in a busy Nashville recording studio on Music Row, I have since planned more than 100 events varying from intimate dinner parties for a few friends to a 3-week long Designer Show House with nearly 3,000 guests. From weddings and wine tastings, to birthday parties and baby showers…if you’ve attended a party in Kennebunkport in the past 20 years, you’ve likely been to an event planned by me. I’m often asked about the parties I throw, personally, for my family and friends. To be honest, I keep it pretty simple and low-key. I tend to have food that reflects the theme, and for decorating, I try to use items I already have on hand. I have had professional photographers capture some of my boys’ parties. I think this is one of the best investments to make in your event. I know that I want to enjoy the time with my guests, and I love using photos as thank you notes. And by the way, I LOVE an impromptu party! When I’m not planning celebrations, I can usually be found with my family at the beach. Reach me at wescottlana@gmail.com.
