Soaring Windows, Sparkling Chandeliers
The timber Barn, with its expansive windows, provides a gracious venue for your reception. Accommodating up to 330 guests, this place is spacious! Depending on your setup, it may be advantageous to add some extra speakers so everyone can hear all the toasts and announcements.
Count on your professional wedding DJ/MC to manage the timeline, flawlessly make introductions and announcements, and keep your dance floor in the groove. And when your DJ knows your venue, you’re guaranteed the best sound system and lighting.

Another important finishing touch for your Maine wedding reception is a sleek, touchpad photo booth. Music Man DJ Service offers a fully customizable booth experience. A wonderful way to capture reception memories with your guests!
Music Man Tips: In late fall and winter months, uplighting gives this country chic venue a new look after the sun goes down. And take advantage of the roomy corners for your special tables and photo booth.
