If you’re dreaming of a barn wedding in New England that blends timeless elegance with modern flair, Molly and Marshall’s Beech Ridge Barn wedding in Scarborough, Maine is the perfect inspiration. Set against the charming backdrop of coastal Maine and infused with thoughtful design, this celebration felt like a fresh take on the classic barn wedding — more chic than rustic, more refined than rugged.

A Full Weekend of Celebration in Maine

One of the many reasons couples fall in love with Beech Ridge Barn is that it offers a full weekend experience — and that’s exactly what Molly and Marshall embraced. The festivities kicked off with a warm, joyful welcome dinner at Luke’s Lobster in Portland, Maine. With stunning views of the harbor and some of the best seafood around, it was the perfect way to gather their loved ones before the big day.

Come wedding day, guests were welcomed with pre-ceremony drinks — a thoughtful touch that made everyone feel instantly at ease and set the tone for the celebration ahead.

Molly and Marshall’s love story began at Colby College, and it has continued to flourish as they’ve built a life together in New York City. Their wedding day was filled with intentional details that reflected their connection, style, and deep love for their people.

A Modern, Elegant Take on a Barn Wedding

Guests discovered hidden details throughout the day — little surprises tucked into the decor and flow of the celebration that made it feel personal and full of love.
