The Report:
With a history that goes back 100 years, The Asticou Inn is a 15-minute walk from Asticou Azalea Garden and Thuya Garden. Located in Northeast Harbor, the Inn was at one point owned by Charles Kenneth Savage, who built the Azalea Garden in 1956. Couples usually use the Garden for wedding photos before or after their wedding ceremony.
Woman Getting Married Says:
I love the idea of destination wedding in Maine, and this is a quaint hotel that will definitely give you that familial vibe. Since the dining room is so small, I would go into this venue knowing that you’re just renting the property for it’s amazing view (that’s Mount Desert Island in the background) and convenience (since you can have guests stay in one of the 48 rooms affiliated with the Inn) and not much else. The good news? With that view you probably won’t need much in terms of decor.
