You guys, seriously, pay attention here. This wedding is really cute. And full of rustic barn-y loveliness that we are all totally in love with. And guess what? Jen is a reader! It is so amazing when one of our readers sends her wedding over. That’s why we’re here after all. And Jen’s wedding, on a farm in Maine (you’re speaking our language, girl!), makes us want to quit our day jobs and spend weeks collecting little pieces of ephemera and vintage jars and growing coastal wildflowers while our summer pies bubble away in the oven.
Plus she shared the video of her wedding too. NEAT!
RIGHT???
Jen decorated the barn herself with the help of her super amazing friends. Mason jars! Weedy flowers! Rusty keys! Homemade jam! Globe lights! (We can’t stop).
Her escort cards were the antique keys with farm animal tags attached. And these matched up with little stamped river rocks at the place settings, which you can see in the invite shot.
Her invites were letterpressed by Pancake & Franks / Photography and video: Charlotte Jenks Lewis
You can catch up with Jen on her blog, the haystack needle.

Totally gorgeous. The pictures are beautiful.
Absolutely stunning! What a picturesque setting, the barn, the fields, the dress, lovely photos.
Oooo this is a goood one! Super pretty bouquet. Love me a good barn wedding ; )
i just fell in love this morning! incredible and charming wedding, superb photos!
Oh my heart! I am so thrilled!
From the individual details to the overall essence of the wedding I’m in love! As a recently engaged lady planning a barn wedding in Maine I proudly admit that this is going straight into my inspiration book! Perfection!
oh my. I am in LOVE with everything about this wedding – the keys?? perfection.
Yay! And Yum. Congratulations guys. Sighhh. Lovely and still sort of low key, just my thing.
Very beautiful wedding! My favs have to be the key place card wall, and the cupcake display. So orignal and sweet.
Completely beautiful! Canning jars and old keys never looked so good! Looking forward to seeing the video.
I love, love, love this! Thanks for sharing.
Love Jen and I just knew i was going to love her wedding. And shocker – I think it’s perfection. Utter Perfection.
Wow, it’s so sweet to read everyone’s comments! Thanks for the kind words!. I loved planning our wedding and the wedding day itself was so sweet and filled with joy. I feel so lucky that I get to be married to my Dan. As for the dress, I gave myself a wee budget as I am a paper person and wanted to spend on letterpress invites. On a friend’s recommendation, I went to Nicole Miller and found my dress. One fantastic thing about Nicole Miller is you order your dress size. No fittings for me. I just had the length shortened and straps got a nip/tuck by a local tailor. If you’re in New York, I recommend Village Tailors on Sullivan Street. They did an amazing tailoring job and cleaned my dress after — somehow managing to get all the stains out of a dress that had been through a grass ceremony and barn wedding! xo Jen
Jen! This is amazing, so beautiful! You are gorgeous!
The best lookin’ cupcakes I’ve seen thus far

I’m planning a wedding for this October and am looking for a barn to rent. I would love any contact information you have about the barn! Thank you!
I just recently moved to ME and decided that I want to plan my wedding here instead of my hometown MA. I would love to rent a barn and this looks like an amazing place. Where is it located and how could I go about renting this space? Thanks!
Hi we just received the wonderful news that our son is engaged! They might like to be married in the chapel inOcean Point Maine, (East Boothbay) where we have a home, but they want an elegant but quirky” reception and are very interested in a barn. If you could help us with any barns yo know in the midcoast region for a wedding reception, we would very much appreciate it!!!
Hi all,
After finding this gem online and reading through the comments, I thought I would let you all know where this barn is. I’m 99 percent sure this is the Barn at Saltwater Farm in Martinsville, near St. George in mid-coast Maine. This is NOT the same place as the Saltwater Farm in Lincolnville. I hope this helps — as long as you don’t steal the venue on MY date if we settle on it!
I would like to take the opportunity of thanking you for your professional guidance I have constantly enjoyed browsing your site. I am looking forward to the actual commencement of my college research and the overall groundwork would never have been complete without dropping by your site. If I might be of any help to others, I will be delighted to help by way of what I have gained from here.Thank you -Term Life Insurance Consultation Service The Boulevard,Mid Valley City,Lingkaran Syed Putra,Kuala Lumpur,59200 Willayah Persekutuan Malaysia 03-41491217 /012-2519890
Here is a link to the barn: http://www.summermaine.com/saltwaterfarm/ Another great Maine barn is highlighted here: https://www.facebook.com/WhereToGetMarriedInMaine (be sure to scroll down to the description of the Causeway Club.) The second barn is in the Acadia area, near Bar Harbor.
FYI – This farmhouse, Saltwater Farm unfortunately no longer allows weddings.
My dreams have been crushed!!
