Spectacular! A hidden gem on Maine's south coast.
The Wells Reserve at Laudholm gives you space to celebrate and room to roam. The timeless natural beauty of the Wells Reserve and rich history of Laudholm Farm make this coastal estate a venue you and your guests will always remember. Hundreds of acres of protected land surround hilltop buildings full of character, a perfect setup for stunning photography. Have a ceremony in the barn, on a hillside overlooking the ocean, or beneath the spreading branches of the centerpiece copper beech. Visit any time — the site is open every day from 7am to sunset. Take a virtual tour and when you’re ready for a full walk-through, the venue is happy to arrange it. Remember: Your rental fee preserves and protects the Wells Reserve at Laudholm and supports a mission of education, research, and conservation at this not-for-profit center for the protection of coastal environments. What is included? Regular contracts encompass the entire weekend, so you can make the most of your time together with family and friends.
