What one wedding per weekend actually means
Many venues describe themselves as private and then sell multiple events on the same weekend — different sections of the property, staggered timing, shared parking. South Road Farm hosts one wedding per weekend, full stop. There is no other event happening while you're there. The 66 acres are entirely yours — no need to stay in 'your' area, no strangers visible in the background of photos, no staff managing logistics for a parallel event.
The estate experience at a non-estate price
Private estate venues — the kind with long driveways, historic houses, and grounds you've seen in magazines — typically start at $20,000 and go well beyond that. South Road Farm offers the same essential experience: a private property exclusively yours for the weekend, with on-site accommodations, at a price point that reflects being in central Maine rather than the Hamptons or Hudson Valley. Starting at $12,000 for the full weekend including the farmhouse.
"After the wedding, I kept returning to the farm, drawn back again and again. Through South Road Farm, the whispers of my ancestors brought me home."
— Dyanna Lincoln, whose family farmed this land for decades

The area around South Road Farm
South Road Farm's 66 acres occupy a quiet road in Fayette, surrounded by the lakes and forests of central Maine. Parker Pond and Echo Lake are within a few miles. The nearest neighbor is far enough away that the property feels completely private — which it is. Augusta, 30 minutes south, provides the nearest hotels (Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites, and others along Western Avenue) and the best restaurant options for ancillary events. Otto's on the River and The Oak Table & Bar on Water Street are both well-suited for rehearsal dinners. Cushnoc Brewing Company works well for a casual welcome gathering. The combination of an entirely private property and a genuine small city 30 minutes away gives couples the privacy they want without leaving guests stranded.
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.
Is the entire property exclusively ours for the weekend?
Yes. When you book a weekend at South Road Farm, the entire 66-acre property is exclusively yours from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. No other events, no other couples, no shared spaces with anyone outside your wedding.
Can we have multiple events over the weekend — rehearsal dinner, wedding, brunch?
Absolutely — and most couples do. The full-weekend format is designed for exactly this. Rehearsal dinner or welcome drinks on Friday, the wedding on Saturday, and a farewell brunch on Sunday are all possible on the property.
How many weddings does South Road Farm host per season?
We host a limited number of weddings each season, by design. Keeping the calendar limited means every couple gets our full attention and the property is maintained to the same standard weekend after weekend.
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.
