From simple and sophisticated to elaborate and enchanting, we combine versatile spaces with impeccable service to serve a wide range of wedding sizes and styles.

Following are some of the reasons why The Barn at Silver Oaks Estate has become renowned as one of New England’s premier wedding destinations:

Stunning Venue

From the moment you step foot on the estate, you feel it. The richness of the wooded, waterfront setting, the way the gentle breezes roll over the lawns, the rural feel of the property, there is something distinctly special about this setting. You simply must come experience this venue, even if it’s just simply to visually experience this truly magnificent parcel of land.

Convenient Location

The historic Silver Oaks Estate is conveniently located just minutes from Interstate 95 in the heart of Historic downtown Winthrop in The Belgrade Lakes Region of Maine, near the cities of Augusta and Lewiston-Auburn. Freeport and Portland are just 30 and 60 minutes away, respectively, by car. Hotels and shopping are located just 10 minutes away in both directions.

Inclusive Amenities

Our weekend wedding package includes chairs, tables, ample parking space, on-site restrooms, security and parking staff, a private dressing area, a professional on-site venue representative and more. Unlike many venues, we invite you to choose any licensed caterer and to host your own bar with no corkage fees, allowing you to control all food and beverage costs. We also offer close by  accommodations for up to 30 guests, upon request.

Bountiful Photography

For wedding photography, you are free to roam around the Waterfront Estate. Here, you will enjoy a remarkable bounty of settings and backdrops, from quaint historic pathways to pine-studded meadows, lush gardens to picturesque railways.

Personal Service

From the moment you book your wedding with us, we provide hands-on personal service to help you plan and enjoy the wedding of your dreams.

We are a professional and dedicated event facility. Unlike many other properties, you can rest assured, that with The Barn at Silver Oaks Estate, you are not simply renting someone else’s back yard or adjacent house barn.

We are devoted to providing convenience, efficiency and value to your wedding planning experience.

The Ceremony

The Outside Ceremony Arbor is the perfect romantic setting, should you decide to marry in the great outdoors overlooking the lake. The stunning Outdoor Reception Arbor is a massive 80’ x 40’open arbor space decorated and illuminated with high quality commercial bistro lights. The arbor is surrounded by beautiful gardens and can accommodate up to 250 seated dining guests. This arbor has full electric service to accommodate a DJ/Band and extra lighting, if needed. From this area you and your guests will enjoy a unique experience dining and dancing under Maine’s gorgeous starlit skies. Alternatively, you may choose to marry and party on the shabby chic front doors of the Barn, while guests are seated on the front lawn and fire-pit area… it’s all about what you want!
