+ Do you welcome couples of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, genders, ages, and religious or spiritual persuasions?

Yes! We celebrate love, full stop. Our personal values are grounded deeply in inclusion and anti-racist practice, which we hope translates to a sincere sense of welcome, respect, and belonging for couples, their families, and guests across our properties.

+ Can I schedule a time to tour one or both of the properties?

Yes, we love nothing more than showing couples and/or their families the properties as each has its own distinct personality and charms.

Between early November and the end of April, we offer tours Monday through Saturday. From May through October, to ensure privacy for couples that are getting married at our properties, we typically offer tours only after 2pm on Sunday through to 12pm the following Thursday.

Please submit an inquiry if you would like to learn more or schedule a visit. We know it can be tricky to plan for site visits, so we will do our best to accommodate you whenever you might need to visit. We’re excited to connect!

+ Do you offer late fall, winter, or spring weddings?

Yes! We host weddings at Flanagan Farm year-round and can sometimes be a bit more flexible with our property rental period in the months of November through April. Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss a wedding at this time of year. Walnut Hill offers weddings from May- November only.

+ Are the barns climate controlled?

Yes! Both barns have air-conditioning as well as heating.

+ How many guests can I have at my wedding at Flanagan Farm or Walnut Hill?

Because both properties have large barns and ample acreage, you have options!

At Flanagan Farm, our main barn is suitable for dinner service for 170 without a dance floor, and for up to 150 if you would like to reserve space for a dance floor. You are welcome to incorporate a tent into your plan, which can make for a stunning event for up to 250+ people.

At Walnut Hill, our barn is suitable for dinner service for 140 without a dance floor, and for up to 120 if you would like to reserve space for a dance floor. We have ample space for tenting on the property at Walnut Hill, which allows us to increase our capacity for events up to 200+ people.

+ How long is the property rental period?

From May through November, we offer one exclusive wedding per weekend, and the entire property is yours from midday Thursday to midday Sunday. You are welcome to host your rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, farewell brunch, or any other experience that you might dream up on-site.

+ Do you require that couples work with a planner or day-of coordinator?

We do. We have been hosting weddings at both properties for more than a decade and have learned that both our couples and their guests have the best, most seamless experiences when a wedding professional is on-site to manage communication with vendors and the overall flow of the day and evening.

We have worked with a number of talented planning professionals who know our properties like the back of their hand and we would be very happy to help you connect with them to see who might be the right fit for you.

+ Can I select my own vendors?

It is so important to select the vendors that are best positioned to bring your vision to life and we want you to have the freedom to do just that. We are happy to recommend a number of best in class vendors in each category (e.g. catering, rentals, floral) who have helped create truly beautiful and unique events at our property. If you would like to learn more about these vendors, please submit an inquiry and note that you would like to see the preferred vendors list. We’ll get right back to you!

If you would like to collaborate with a vendor who has not worked at our properties in the past, we would welcome the conversation with you and the professional. We almost always approve these selections once we’ve had a chance to connect and align on our expectations for how collaborators use and treat the property while they’re on-site.

+ What is the max number of people who can stay overnight at the farmhouse?

Each property is suitable for twelve overnight guests. At Flanagan Farm there are three and a half bathrooms, four bedrooms in the farmhouse that can sleep ten guests, and an additional cottage that sleeps two. Walnut Hill comfortably sleeps twelve with three full bathrooms and five bedrooms.

We kindly request that you limit additional overnight guests. With the safety of your wedding guests in mind, our property manager will be on-site until the end of your celebration to ensure that all non-overnight guests have made their way safely home at the end of the evening.

+ Where should our guests stay?

Both Flanagan Farm and Walnut Hill are twenty-five minutes from downtown Portland. You can find wonderful hotels from all the major hotel groups in Portland, most of whom are happy to offer hotel blocks for your guests. Shuttle transportation can also be arranged for easy pick up and drop off to these locations.

Outside of Portland, the charming town of Freeport is 20 minutes from Walnut Hill, and Saco, with a number of major hotel groups, is 20 minutes from Flanagan Farm.

+ Do you offer any options for late night?

At Flanagan Farm, we ask that music wrap by 10:30pm but you also have the option of extending your party to 12:30am for an additional fee. At Walnut Hill, music must be wrapped by 10:30pm, with guests departing no later than 11pm. The times at Walnut Hill cannot be extended.

With Portland only 25 minutes away, another great option is to continue the party at one of Portland’s incredible bars or restaurants for a few more hours.

+ Can I provide my own beer, wine, or alcohol

Yes. If you do, we will ask that you purchase “host liquor liability” insurance, which is typically included in most general liability insurance policies. These policies are usually about $175, take five minutes to purchase online, and we are happy to point you in the right direction. We do require that you utilize a bartender to manage service, and that person must be licensed either through their own company or the catering service.

+ How do I book a date?

To reserve a date, we will share a contract for you to review and sign, and then kindly request a 50% deposit within one week of executing the contract. Of the remaining 50%, 25% is due 9 months before your weekend and the final 25% is due 3 months before your weekend.
