Many people who choose to get married in Maine have two things in mind for what they want: outdoor and ocean-side. While it may be easy to search for reception venues that have these qualities, it can be difficult to find off-site ceremony locations with gorgeous ocean views. We\u2019ve done the hard work for you and come up with a list of ceremony sites that overlook the Atlantic \u2013 all within a 15-minute drive from Portland. We have even pulled blog posts from photographer friends and planners alike who have worked at these locations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor Ceremony – Cape Elizabeth, Maine<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fort William\u2019s Park and Portland Head Light<\/strong> – This park boasts one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world \u2013 Portland Head Light. With four locations for ceremonies scattered around the park, this beautiful spot has a lot to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See contact information and the Reservation Application<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kettle Cove Beach<\/strong> – This inlet cove is nestled right next to the larger Crescent Beach State Park. With a grassy area that juts out over rocky slopes and quiet, wooded trails leading to additional beach areas, Kettle Cove is an ideal spot for intimate Maine weddings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the blog of one of our photographer friends, Leah Fisher, who shot an intimate ceremony at Kettle Cove beach<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portland, Maine<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eastern Prom<\/strong> – Head over to the Eastern Prom to get gorgeous ocean-front views of passing schooners and the Casco Bay Islands, all while staying within city limits. Check out ceremony sites at Fort Allen Park<\/a> and East End Beach.<\/a> Another highlight is that these spots are just minutes from oceanside reception venues like Ocean Gateway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Portland, Maine<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spring Point Lighthouse – <\/strong>Just across the bridge from downtown Portland, Spring Point Light boasts beautiful views of Bug Lighthouse and access to sandy Willard Beach. Check out this blog post<\/a> from another one of our photographer friends, Sarah Morrill, for inspiration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We could write a blog post about all the beautiful outdoor spots to get married in Maine so long that it would turn into a novel. If you’re looking to get married in the area, reach out to us so we can brainstorm!<\/p>\n\n\n
