Where seaside charm meets
refined elegance
othing is more important than
planning your wedding day.
You want that special location,
that unique setting, or that cer-
tain something representing your unity as
you begin your life together. Where does
your search for the perfect wedding be-
gin? It starts with Greater Portland Con-
vention & Visitors Bureau.
The Greater Portland Convention &
Visitors Bureau will listen to you describe
your dream wedding on a sailboat in Casco
Bay, or in the rustic charm of a Maine barn,
or a sophisticated wedding in a grand ho-
tel. You may want the setting of a romantic
lighthouse being kissed by salty sea spray,
or the natural surroundings of a glorious
flower garden. Whether you prefer rustic,
elegant or somewhere in between, Maine's
finest city is versatile enough to provide the
wedding day setting of your dreams.
In Portland you will discover a working
waterfront, cobblestone streets, historic
architecture, and beautiful shops. Delight
your taste buds with freshly caught sea-
food, locally farmed beef and vegetables,
European specialties, and creative gourmet
pizza. Award winning chefs and fine din-
ing establishments mark every turn. It is
no wonder Portland was deemed "Foodiest
Small Town" in America.
Accommodations are plentiful and
