Harvest Moon Farm

Harvest Moon Farm is a barn wedding venue in Winthrop, Maine, near Augusta off Route 202. It sits on 35 acres of fields and woodland and includes an orchard and a flower farm.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Harvest Moon Farm is LGBTQ+-owned. For you, that means working with owners who understand a same-sex wedding from the start. The property is open and private, with fields, trees and flowers around the barn, which makes it easy to shape the day around your own style. It is a strong fit for couples who want a calm, outdoor-focused wedding with a modest guest list.

Ceremonies

The grounds are suited to outdoor ceremonies. Colorful flowers, trellised apple trees and a peach grove give you plenty of places to stand and to take photographs. Ask which spots work for the ceremony, how chairs are set and where the rain plan sits if the weather turns.

Receptions and food

The 1,300 square foot post and beam barn has warm wood and dark framed windows. It works as a blank canvas for a reception of up to 100 guests, with room for a band or a DJ. Because the space is simple, you can bring your own decor, florals and lighting. Ask what furniture, tables and chairs are included.

Getting there and the area

Winthrop is in central Maine, a short drive from Augusta, and about an hour from Portland. Most guests will arrive by car. Ask the venue for a parking plan and for nearby hotel suggestions, since the venue is a farm and not an inn.

Good to know

Before you book, ask for the full list of what is included, the hours of access on the wedding day and the time music must stop. Written answers prevent surprises later.
