The Midcoast Maine Region starts in Freeport and goes north along the coast to Stockton Springs. Looking at a map and seeing it's north of Portland, many people think it's too far north to travel to for a wedding. This is called the "Boston Effect". While the Southern Maine area between Portland and Boston is attractive to many brides and grooms for it's convenience to both cities, the extra up to 1.5 hours north that you can go into the Midcoast Region should not be overlooked. Camden, Boothbay, Lincolnville, Rockport, Stockton Springs, and many other wonderful towns in between offer great wedding venues. What's the extra hour drive north from Portland? It's equal to watching one episode of your favorite TV show. It's also equal to twice the wait time most people have getting into their favorite restaurant. How much extra does it cos?. The extra 50 miles are 4 gallons of gas extra on today's cars - another $14 - 3 cups of your favorite cup of coffee. What do you get? Lots of beautiful locations, less crowds, and an area continuously repeated by those that have discovered it.
