Where is the best place in Portland Maine to hold a wedding reception?

Answer 1

Portland Maine is a great place to hold a Wedding reception. I've been to Portland several times and I usually stay at the Holiday Inn by the bay. It's in downtown central Portland, and a very clean, and nice hotel. They have several reception/meeting rooms for parties/receptions and meetings. I've seen lot's of wedding receptions before when I've stayed at the hotel, and it seems very organized.

If your willing to travel a little, there is a wonderful Inn just north of Portland called the Grey Havens Inn, located in Bath Maine. I stayed there once before when I visited Maine, and they do TONS of weddings, so they seem to be pros at it. There also very friendly and welcoming. It's a beautiful location, right on the water, ontop of a rocky hill. Beautiful if the reception is in fall and even in winter too.
