The Inn on Peaks Island is a wedding venue located on Peaks Island, Maine. This private island is only accessed by boat and gives soon-to-be-weds a secluded, private setting to exchange their vows. The hotel’s idyllic seaside views, combined with cozy accommodations, mouthwatering cuisine, and a dedicated onsite team, will make any couple’s big day one to remember.

Facilities and Capacity

The Inn on Peaks Island is nestled on the stunning Casco Bay, just a 15-minute boat ride from downtown Portland. This location is ideal for anyone dreaming of a tranquil getaway for their ceremony and reception, and can host events ranging from 50 to 200 guests. Couples that spend their wedding weekend here will have access to both indoor and outdoor event spaces, which sport a seaside elegance in their aesthetic. One of their more intimate ceremony locations is a romantic gazebo, settled on the spacious lawn area. A paved walkway acts as a designated aisle, leading to the altar, while lush greenery and gardens surround the happy couple and their seated guests. Guests can gather along the inn’s covered porch or indoor lounge for their cocktail hour, before moving to the spacious restaurant for their reception. An event tent is also available for newlyweds and their loved ones to dine and dance under the stars. Visitors are just a short walk from the shore and can have photo sessions or gentle strolls with crashing waves as natural background music. You and your loved ones will have seven cottage-style suites to choose from, featuring Jacuzzi tubs, cozy sitting areas, and plenty of natural light.

The BEST Venue - All Around!

Having a cumulative 5 star review when you have a handful of reviews is good. Having a cumulative 5 star review when you have 75+ reviews says something! You can absolutely trust the submissions. Our entire experience could not have been better and we recommend this venue 100%.

We'll start with Jayson, the venue coordinator. All the advice you read in wedding articles or see on Tik Tok and Instagram about a venue coordinator only looking out for their space and their team completely goes out the window when you work with Jayson. He is there for you from start to finish, offering to help out and do things leading up to and on the day that most in his position won't do. He was the most helpful and available basically the entire year from signing our contract until our wedding day. But most importantly, he's kind and sincere and understanding and a joy to work with.

Next up - the space. Before wedding season 2023, all new floors were installed throughout the venue that are beautiful and brighten up the space, and a gorgeous new tent with crystal chandeliers was installed too. The vibe of the space is "coastal modern", which can perfectly be dressed up or down depending on whether you're going for casual new england or an elegant affair. We saw the space for the first time on a FaceTime with Jayson and loved it virtually - seeing it in person was a real 'wow' moment.

Location is conveniently right off the ferry so no worries about guests getting lost or complaining of their feet hurting from a long walk to get there.

Lastly, the food was delicious. We had very picky friends tell us it was the best shrimp cocktail they've had in a long time, which says a lot! The presentation of the raw bar in a boat was so cute. We had no idea that's how it would come out and it definitely impressed our guests. If you're having a wedding in Maine you have to plus up on the lobster! You won't go wrong with the mini lobster rolls (really good size for a mini) and the filet & lobster meal. It's obviously the priciest option, and we were a little worried on quality because of the mass production aspect for an event, but it was very good and worth the extra spend.

You really cannot go wrong with choosing The Inn on Peaks Island. It's a gem of a find that we are so, so happy is part of our story now forever!

Beautiful venue with incredible coordinator

As all the other reviews have said, Jayson at the Inn on Peaks was truly incredible to work with. He was super responsive in answering our many questions and requests throughout the planning process and executed everything perfectly. Most importantly, he was fun to work with and made us feel at ease. Plus, the venue itself is gorgeous! The grounds and gazebo are beautiful for an outdoor ceremony, there are cool indoor-outdoor rooms with seating for cocktail hour, there’s a beautiful new tent with draping and chandeliers for dinner, and there’s space inside the inn for dancing.

The BEST venue around!

Our experience working with Jayson and the Inn was truly a dream come true. There aren't enough kind words we can use to describe this venue, Jayson and his team, other than that they helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives. We knew right away upon first meeting Jayson that this was where we were going to get married. From the experience of the 15-min ferry ride over from Portland (our favorite city), to the chic, coziness of the Inn, to the warm, heartfelt and professional personality of Jayson, there's really no better venue than the IOPI for your special day. Every question/concern was answered both promptly and in detail, making the entire process seem much more manageable and easier to digest. Since they were also catering the food, the tasting that took place months before the big day was beautifully done and reassured us that the food at our wedding would be 10/10. The Inn provided the perfectly intimate yet roomy setting that we were looking for to entertain our roughly 120 guests in. If you're looking for a venue with a unique experience, terrific layout and the most outstanding director, then look no further than The IOPI. We love you Jayson and can't thank you enough! - M&M

The Inn on Peaks Island is one of our absolute favorite venues to work at. It's always such an experience! Our couples and their guests get to take the ferry over from Portland and the ride over is always filled with fun anticipation. Every room at the Inn is a dream to photograph in with large windows overlooking the bay and the lawn and tent are perfect spaces for a wedding. A quick walk across the street is the beach perfect for sunset portraits while the couples guests enjoy the sunset views from the deck of the Inn.

Elusive Photography Elusive Photography Wedding Photographers

The Inn on Peaks Island is one of the most popular venues for brides who contact me. Not only is the location beautiful with all of its waterfront property, but the grounds and the structures are incredible also. It's always easy to find lots of wonderful photo locations here, and I've never encountered a bride who was anything less than completely impressed at how the venue served their wedding hopes and dreams.
