How the weekend unfolds
Friday: guests and wedding party arrive throughout the afternoon. The farmhouse fills up. Welcome drinks happen in the courtyard — informal, no agenda, just the first night together. Saturday: the main event. Ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, late night. Sunday: no one's in a hurry. The farmhouse kitchen fills up slowly. Coffee. Last night's stories. The kind of morning that most weddings skip entirely because the venue needs you out. The three-day arc is the product.
Why the farmhouse matters
The farmhouse sleeping 10 guests is included in every weekend rental — not an add-on, not an upgrade. Having the wedding party or immediate family on-site changes the texture of the weekend. You're not driving back to a hotel at midnight. You're staying in the place where it happened. Sunday morning breakfast in the farmhouse kitchen, still on the property, is something couples consistently mention as one of their favorite parts of the whole weekend.
"For months, I went to the farm each weekend to plan the wedding. Somewhere in that time, something in me began to stir. The feeling was both distant and familiar."
— Dyanna Lincoln, whose family farmed this land for decades

The area around South Road Farm
Part of what makes the full-weekend format work at South Road Farm is what surrounds it. Fayette's chain of lakes — Echo Lake, Parker Pond, Flying Pond — gives guests natural things to do between events. Kayak rentals are easy to arrange. The Kennebec Highlands trail network has hikes suited to any level. Augusta is 30 minutes away for guests who want a proper dinner out the night before or after. The Fayette Country Store is a genuine local institution for morning coffee and provisions. The pace of central Maine in summer and fall — unhurried, deeply quiet, with long evenings and dark skies — suits the full-weekend format better than almost any other part of New England.
Common questions
What does a weekend at South Road Farm cost?
Weekend rentals start at $12,000. That's a single, all-in price — no à la carte fees, no vendor surcharges, no hidden add-ons. You get the full property: both barns, the farmhouse, all ceremony sites, and every outdoor space from Friday afternoon through Sunday midday. Pricing varies by weekend, with peak dates in September and October priced higher. Reach out and we'll send a full breakdown.
How many guests can South Road Farm accommodate?
South Road Farm comfortably hosts up to 150 guests for ceremonies and receptions, with space for dining, dancing, and celebrating both indoors and out — across two barns, the courtyard, and the surrounding grounds.
How long is the weekend rental?
The property is yours from Friday afternoon through Sunday at noon. That includes time to arrive, set up, rehearse, celebrate, and wind down without feeling rushed at any point. Sunday morning is part of every booking, not an add-on.
Can we choose our own vendors?
Yes. You're free to choose your own caterer, bar service, photographer, florist, and entertainment. We do require a licensed and insured bar service to handle alcohol, and a professional wedding planner or day-of coordinator.
Is shuttle service required?
Yes — on-site parking accommodates approximately 50 vehicles, so for larger guest lists a shuttle is required. Most couples arrange shuttles from a central hotel block in Augusta. We're happy to share vendor recommendations.
Is the farmhouse included in the rental price?
Yes. The farmhouse is included in every weekend rental at no additional charge. It sleeps up to 10 guests across four bedrooms and is part of the weekend package.
Can we host a rehearsal dinner on Friday?
Yes — many couples use Friday evening for a welcome dinner or rehearsal dinner on the property. The secondary barn and courtyard work well for this. It's one of the advantages of the full-weekend format.
Can we host a farewell brunch on Sunday?
Absolutely. Sunday morning brunch is one of the things that makes the full-weekend format special. The farmhouse kitchen is fully equipped, and the property is beautiful in the morning. Many couples arrange catering for Sunday, while others keep it casual with groceries and cooking together.
What time does music need to end on Saturday?
Per local guidelines, amplified music ends by 11:00pm and non-overnight guests should depart by 11:30pm. Overnight guests in the farmhouse are welcome to stay up and enjoy the property quietly after that.
About the farm
South Road Farm has been on this land since 1793. The post-and-beam barns went up in the early 1800s. The property ran as a working farm continuously until 2018 — longer than Maine has been a state. What you see now is the result of several years of restoration work done largely by hand by Dave, a lifelong carpenter and co-owner of the property.
We host a limited number of weddings each season, by design. Every couple gets the same thing: the whole property, the whole weekend, our full attention.
