From the reviews
This hotel has an incredible location and an unmatched wow factor when you walk through the doors. The lobby and veranda overlook a lush lawn, beautiful pool, puttig green and the ocean. One is transported to back to yesteryear and stress just melts away while staying at The Colony.
My family’s absolute favorite spot in Kennebunkport, and really along the coast of Maine. We’ve been staying at The Colony for decades, and through each season of change we continue to love it even more.
I love this place and have been going back every year for a while. Beautiful location. Lovely rooms with no TVs!!
Getting married at The Colony Hotel
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
