About
If you're here, most likely you're in search of the perfect indoor/outdoor wedding venue. Welcome to Silver Oaks!
The following are the reasons why The Barn at Silver Oaks Estate has become one of the most renowned wedding venues in New England:
This is a true Luxury Venue
You sense it as soon as you set foot on the estate. The lushness of the wooded, lakeside environment, the way the mild winds caress the lawns, and the rural character of the property all contribute to the uniqueness of this setting. You must visit this location, even if it's just to view this absolutely lovely plot of land.
The historic Silver Oaks Estate is situated minutes from Interstate 95 in the center of historic downtown Winthrop in the Belgrade Lakes Area of Maine, close to the cities of Augusta and Lewiston-Auburn. Freeport and Portland may be reached by automobile in 30 and 60 minutes, respectively. Hotels and retail establishments are only 10 minutes away in both directions.
Our wedding package includes 200 chairs, 20 stunning farmhouse tables, luxury restrooms, security and parking staff, a private dressing area, a professional on-site venue representative and more. We invite you to choose a licensed caterer of your choice or one from our preferred vendor list. We also have ample, close-by accommodations at many area hotels and B&B's.
Photographers who photograph here are awestruck by our location. Here, you will find an abundance of locations and backdrops, ranging from charming medieval paths to pine-studded meadows, lush gardens, scenic railways, and quiet lakefront views. Your photographs will provide you with impressive and enduring memories.

My daughter and son-in-law were married at The Barn at Silver Oaks last month, and I can not even begin to tell you how amazing the day was. From beginning to end, Gene and Veronica were the perfect hosts, insuring all was going smoothly, and everyone was happy. The attention to detail was noticed by all.
Through the whole planning process (two years worth lol), Gene was a text away, answering all promptly and thoroughly, with the patience of a saint.
The property is gorgeous, the staff amazing. Shout out to Sarah, who was incredibly attentive, kind, caring. So many details.... just above and beyond. The Barn at Silver Oaks may seem pricey, but is worth every penny!
I keep reliving the day over and over in my mind, and can't help but smile- brings tears to my eyes.
Thank You Gene, Veronica, Paula, Dante, and the rest of the crew- You are the best, and GOD BLESS!!!
