About this venue
A 60-acre farm in historic New Gloucester, 35 minutes from downtown Portland, built around a 19th-century barn and Federal-style farmhouse that was originally the homestead of one of Maine's leading apple experts. The grounds are marked by heirloom apple trees across woods and fields. Weddings get a three-day rental covering the barn, grounds, and bridal suite, with time for setup, rehearsal, the event, and breakdown, plus an option for overnight stays. The barn is unheated, so the venue operates from June through September. Shady Lane works from a preferred-vendor list for lodging, flowers, photography, cakes, and other services rather than an open vendor policy.
