Pine Lodge

Pine Lodge feels like the kind of place where a wedding weekend could have existed for generations.

Set across more than 300 acres in Bristol, the property combines towering pine trees, a white-sand beach, gardens, golf, accommodation and a lovingly restored early twentieth-century barn.

The Barn is the largest wedding setting, accommodating approximately 200 guests beneath massive traditional timber beams and high vaulted ceilings.

Old wood gives the room warmth and character, while the surrounding pine and hemlock trees make the property feel wonderfully removed from everyday life after dark.

Couples looking for something smaller can choose the Main Hall inside the 1930s lodge, which accommodates approximately 125 guests and carries a wonderfully nostalgic personality of its own.

The ceremony can happen outside almost anywhere the landscape feels right.

A beach sunset, garden terrace, golf-course view or quiet place among towering trees can become the setting for the vows, while more than 300 acres leave almost endless possibilities for photographs afterward.

Food is prepared on site, keeping the reception connected to the same hospitality that has defined Pine Lodge for decades.

Guest rooms, camping cabins and waterfront RV accommodation allow some of the people closest to the couple to stay directly on the property.

For couples who picture barn doors, enormous trees, a beach at sunset and a weekend spent together in the country, Pine Lodge offers the kind of wedding that feels less like renting a venue and more like disappearing somewhere special for a few days.
