I have a long history with Thomas Point Beach & Campground, in Brunswick, ME. Way back in the day, my girlfriends and I used to volunteer there each summer when they held the Maine Festival. We'd camp out in tents and work in various areas over the weekend, hanging out with bands and artists. At night, we'd hang out around the fire or on the beach with other volunteers...it was so much fun!
With these memories in mind, I contacted TPBC as a possible wedding location. I was very pleased with my conversation with Patty. It did take her quite a while to get back to me, but once she did, she was delightful!
It is possible to rent out a particular area of the park, and Patty recommended the headwall, right on the water. To rent this area, she said they would charge an admission fee of $3.50 per person or we could pay a flat fee. The fee for use of the land in October would be $200 for the headwall or $375 for the large field by the playground. If we decided to pay a flat fee, it would be $600. This would cover the reservation and cleanup fees.
TPBC seems very flexible...they are ok with weddings setting up a big tent. There can be a bar, but no glass containers are allowed. Alcohol must be in a can or in a cup and must stay within the party area. They basically don't want to see anyone visibly intoxicated and Patty made it very clear that they would shut a party down if people are overtly drunk. A caterer would be able to set up easily because there is water and electricity available at the headwall area. Finally, there are restrooms available which is huge for an outdoor wedding!
