Josias River Farm Wedding

Sitting on 20 gorgeous acres of open fields, forests, pastures and an apple orchard is the beautiful Josias River Farm in York, Maine. The unique details of this property make it such a stunning spot for a wedding! You’ll find stone walls and perennials beds surrounding the antique Cape-Cod style house and the 250-year old New England farm filled with so much increible history. You can take advantage of the large open fields if you’re looking for a tented wedding, or have an intimate reception in the barn. No matter what, your wedding is sure to be romantic and timeless here.

Wedding at Josias River Farm

This incredibly charming property is full of peaceful little spots to explore. Your guests can wander through the gardens, lounge in Adirondack chairs by the water garden (or opt for a ceremony here instead!), or play a casual game of bocce or croquet while soaking in the scenery. The place feels like a hidden retreat, with butterflies fluttering by and birds like chickadees and cardinals adding to all the natural beauty.

The farm itself is a total dream, with three acres of colorful flower gardens and rolling green lawns, all surrounded by 17 acres of forest and the gentle Josias River weaving through it. But the most jaw-dropping part of the property is the 1850s barn with dreamy draping and twinkle lights. It also has a cozy vintage bar, and some stunning Shaker-style chandeliers. Plus, if you walk out towards the apple trees, they all light up and it creates a pretty magical setting. You’ll have no shortage of gorgeous spots around the property for portraits, making sure you have a wide variety in your gallery!
