Migrate to Maine and make it a point to party at this haute, historic estate on a party perfect peninsula with 260 degree coastline views.
Wonderful coastal wedding, here you come (here comes the bride?) In any case, besides the stunning coastline and historic heart of this vibrant venue, between May and October, enjoy the use of the spectacular Sail Cloth tent. which can accommodate up to 300 guests. Ahoy, amazing!

A Blank Canvas Venue
French's Point is a Blank Canvas Venue, providing an outstanding location with 8 possible ceremony settings and 14 different gathering spaces. You choose how you wish to use these amenities during your time here. French’s Point is a very large vacation rental property with 14 acres and two beautiful homes which are offered to one couple and their guests exclusively for the entire weekend. Our weekend celebrations feel like a vacation, a reunion, and a wedding all combined.
Our goal for our couples is for you to have a wedding that is unique to you, that suits your vision of your celebration & one that is within your budget. To foster this goal, you hire your choice of vendors: planner, caterer, bar service provider, florist, photographer, etc. This allows you to engage the vendor team that best suits your goals and is within your budget. We have an excellent preferred vendor list to help you on the search for your team, but you can use whichever vendors best align with your preferences, as long as they are insured (liability insurance) and licensed where applicable (caterer, bar service provider, food truck, baker, hair and make-up design). There are no cookie cutter events here and no food and beverage minimums to meet!
