This led to looking for an outdoor venue where we could BBQ (there will be a post for this another day!) and play some outdoor games like lawn darts, badminton, or horseshoes.
Winslow Park in Freeport offers covered picnic areas, one of which can seat 150 people. Here is the scoop on Winslow Park:
-Neil is the guy to talk to about booking at 207-865-9052.
The Space:
-My fiance and I went to Winslow Park to check it out and the tables are all smushed together under the roof so there is no additional room for covered dancing, food tables, or anything. There is another, smaller shelter nearby that could possibly be rented as well.

-The shelter does have a few electric plugs, but they look like the type you'd see in a living room wall so I'm not sure how much power they can support.
Alcohol:
-Alcohol can be served but must be done so by an insured caterer or bartender. Also, you must get a separate contract through the Freeport Police.
Money:
-$150 to rent the covered picnic area that seats 150 people for the day.
-Winslow Park is a Town owed park and one of the rules of the park is, if a function is serving alcohol they need to hire a detail Police Officer to make sure the alcohol does not leave the designated area. I will talk more about this in another post.
I love this space and it would be a fairly cost effective way to throw a wedding, but we have ended up deciding on an October date so we don't necessarily want to be outside in Maine that time of year!
