    My husband and I got married at Bear Mountain Inn this past September, and it was truly the most magical weekend. From the moment we first visited, we knew this was the place - we were blown away by the stunning lake views and were especially drawn in by the cozy inn and barn. We stayed in the cutest little cabin separate from the main inn and our dog was able to stay with us! The owners, Nick and Jessica, are the nicest couple ever and Nick cooks one of the best briskets in New England. Jessica was amazing from start to finish - organized, kind, and so thoughtful. She made the entire planning process easy and enjoyable. When rain changed our outdoor ceremony plans, Jessica and the staff pivoted seamlessly and created the most beautiful ceremony inside the barn. It turned out even more romantic and special than we could have imagined! The staff were just as wonderful. They made sure everything ran perfectly and that our guests felt completely cared for and at home all weekend. As an anxious bride, I was so incredibly grateful for and impressed by their warmth and professionalism. We left Bear Mountain Inn with full hearts and we’re so grateful to the Orgos and their team for making our day perfect in every way! If you’re looking for a beautiful setting, amazing service, and people who genuinely want your day to be magical, this is the place. We can’t recommend it highly enough!

    We had our dream fall wedding at Bear Mountain Inn in Maine, and it truly couldn’t have been more perfect. The property is absolutely stunning—surrounded by vibrant autumn colors, open outdoor spaces, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that made the whole weekend feel magical. Jessica and Nick were incredible hosts who immediately made us feel comfortable and at home. We stayed at the inn from Thursday through Sunday, which made everything so relaxed and gave us time to really enjoy the experience with our friends and family. Everyone loved it—especially gathering around the bonfire in the evenings and playing lawn games on the beautiful lawn! Working with Andrea on coordination was so smooth and stress-free. Every detail was handled with care, and the setup was done for us so we could simply enjoy our celebration. We also loved that Bear Mountain Inn is pet-friendly—our dog was able to be part of our special day, which meant so much to us. If you’re looking for a warm, personal, and effortlessly beautiful place to get married, Bear Mountain Inn is it. We can’t recommend it highly enough!

If anyone is looking for a wedding venue, the barn is AMAZING and the photo opportunities with a lake or forest backgrounds are gorgeous! Cant wait to get back sometime soon! 💛
