6 Reasons Why You Should Get Married in Rangeley, Maine

Discover why Rangeley is the ultimate wedding destination, from the mountain views to the stunning seasons, expert planning, and catering to countless outdoor activities for your guests.

1.) Say “I Do” to the View

Saddleback is Rangeley’s only true mountainside wedding venue. The views just can’t be beat. From the lodge, enjoy views up to the summit. Looking down, you’ll see sweeping vistas of the Rangeley Lakes Region and Western Maine High Peaks. You can see Saddleback Lake, Rangeley Lake & beyond. See Spotted and the Kennebago mountain range in the distance. At this elevation, we’re talking stunning sunsets and memorable first-look photo ops.

2.) The Stunning Seasons

Maine is home to four distinct seasons. Sure, it makes the weather challenging sometimes, but it offers unmatched beauty. From autumn colors to summer lupine fields, if you’re in love with a particular season, Saddleback is the venue to highlight it. Plus, with a base elevation of 2,460 feet, it never gets unbearably hot, even in the middle of the summer.

3.) Our Staff

It takes a village – well maybe, a small army – to make a wedding day truly unforgettable. From last-minute ceremony changes to perfect plating, we know it can all add up. Your job should be to enjoy your day. Let go of the stress and let our experienced staff take care of all the behind-the-scenes details.

Rangeley was recently named one of the best lake towns in the U.S. If you love hiking or a walk in the woods, there are tons of trails, like the Saddleback Spur & Fly Road Crosby Trail.
