hoosing the Greater Bangor
Region for your wedding will
be one of the easiest wedding
day decisions you'll have to
make. The region offers a surprising
mix of cosmopolitan experiences and
old-world traditions.
No matter the number of guests, the
Greater Bangor Convention and Visi-
tors Bureau (GBCVB) can help you find the perfect wed-
ding venue and reception site.
Aside from choosing your wedding date, deciding on
a reception location can be one of your most important
wedding decisions. In fact, the reception decision may even
influence your wedding date. Luckily, the Greater Bangor
Region offers many different wedding locations for you to
choose from.
If your perfect day includes a secluded lakeside ceremo-
ny with Mount Katahdin as your backdrop, your dream can
come true. Or if saying your vows while standing with your
loved one by a spectacular picture-perfect ocean coastline
is what you want, the Convention and Visitors Bureau can
help you make your vision a reality.
If an indoor wedding and reception is more to your
style and liking, this region has many elegant locations--
many complete with high ceilings, beautiful chandeliers,
and picturesque views. No budget is too small and no party
is too large for many of the reception sites in the area.
The unique spirit of the region is
evident in its charming shops, delicious
dining, and world-class performing
arts. The opportunity to indulge in cul-
ture and nature will beckon your guests
at every turn, and it's all within the city
limits or just a short drive away. The
city of Bangor is centrally located in the
state and is within a 90-minute drive of
Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Baxter State Park, and
the Moosehead Lake Region. Many of GBCVB's members
are conveniently situated near many of Maine's most popu-
lar attractions.
Allow the GBCVB to ease the planning process by con-
necting you to a variety of wedding vendors and services.
Their membership network represents top-notch lodgings,
event spaces, restaurants, and caterers, as well as a variety of
attractions that make the region such a dynamic destination.
The Greater Bangor Convention and Visitors Bureau
will facilitate getting you all the information you need to
plan your wedding and reception. They'll even do the leg-
work for you--let them know what you want for your wed-
ding and they'll send out the information to their partners
in the wedding industry. They'll then compile the results
and assist you in choosing the perfect match to your speci-
fications and budget.
